Summary

Fearing that the Empire will soon discover the identity of a rebel spy, the Rebels launch a plan to rescue him before his capture.

Our Take

A tense, paranoid hour that plays like a spy thriller more than a space adventure, and it mostly works. Thrawn’s quiet menace steals every scene he’s in, and the shifting loyalties at the center give the episode real weight. The disguise shenanigans get a bit silly, but the ending lands a genuine punch. Worth your time.
