Summary
Refugee of the Empire seeks the Rebels’ help to get off the planet with important information.
Our Take
A busy, propulsive episode that finally digs into Ezra’s past without slowing down the action. The stolen TIE fighter sequence is a genuine highlight, and the fireworks-as-cover escape is clever staging. It ends on a cliffhanger that actually earns the wait. One of the stronger first-season hours, and worth your time even if the season has felt hit or miss so far.
