#ouch feels

after Rex & co. leave Teth, you can see Rex having a private moment of grieving in the back of the ship

Shock. Her body was riddled with it, frozen as she sat on the edge of her bed clutching her scorched helmet in trembling hands. Several Resistance members including Alida had been on that First Order ship, extracting one of their own from the interrogation rooms, about to reach the ships when they had been fired on. And she ended up face to face with a pilot dressed in all black who had yet to put on her helmet, one that had almost killed her had another rebel not pulled her out of the way in time. The woman’s face was one Alida had never forgotten, not since she had last seen it when she was younger. It was the one face she still dreamt of, still woke up screaming for in the middle of the night.

The First Order pilot was her mother.

Every Resistance leader had told her a hundred times over that her mother was murdered years ago. Her own father made sure she knew her mother was gone, dead and never coming home. And now, she found out that her mother was alive? All this time, she had been a member of the First Order, a traitor to each person in her life, especially Alida and her father. Alida wished her mother was dead...this? This was so much worse. The worst of it was, everyone the blonde flygirl had ever known had lied to her. Her only remaining parent, her Uncle Wedge, General Organa...Poe...

because i was thinking the other day about all the funny and silly times that Ezra was sneaking around in the vents. it became a running gag.

and then you watch Season 4 and realize that Ezra sneaks away through the vents to leave his family and hand himself over to Thrawn.

and on top of that, i think it's a reasonable guess that when Thrawn's Star Destroyer arrived to Peridea, Ezra had to escape off the ship through the vents. alone, terrified, being hunted down by hundreds of imperial soldiers and the smartest enemy he's ever faced.

"In a touching epilogue, an older Omega is caught attempting to sneak off and join the rebellion. (Some things never change, we guess!) Hunter protests at first, but eventually commits what could be his most heroic act ever: he lets her go. As Omega flies off into the stars, one story ends and another begins, with a clone growing up to have her own adventures and make the galaxy a better place. What could be more Star Wars than that?"
