Are you back? Did you watch it?

You'd better have watched it.

Okay either you've watched it or you're ignoring me, so either way I can continue now I guess.

Every episode would have an opening crawl like that because, well, it's Star Wars and nostalgia also that was fun to make.

Anyway, now for the pilot specifically.

Basically, we get all of that information in the opening crawl as it happens off-screen. After the opening crawl, we see Mothma outside of her house in Hanna City alongside senator Gall Trayvis. After Trayvis has left, Mothma heads into her secret basement, where a very bored Ahsoka is. Mothma informs Ahsoka that Palpatine's plans to permanently shut down the Imperial Senate have surfaced, and Ahsoka takes this as the last straw, admitting to Mothma that she has been in contact with Bail Organa, and he agrees that something must be done about the empire: a rebellion.

Mothma is worried that Ahsoka has been in open contact with someone, even though Ahsoka assures her that there is no way anyone could find out about it. However, even with this assurance, Mothma doubts in the possibility of a successful rebellion not being shut down immediately by Palpatine. However, Ahsoka insists that they have to try. Mothma reluctantly agrees to help Ahsoka get a secret message out to any others who would support their cause.

Mothma meets with Organa on Alderaan and they communicate in code. Organa brings her to a secure room where they can speak freely and introduces her Raymus Antilles, who also wants to bring down the empire, and his droid, R2-D2. Mothma conveys her concerns to Organa, though he assures her that there is no way the empire will ever find out - he has been communicating with anti-Empire citizens of the galaxy for the last couple of years, including Vaux Atisach of Naboo and Ryder Azadi of Lothal, who have agreed to assist the movement in any way necessary. In order to avoid any suspicion from the empire, Organa abruptly ends the meeting and leads Mothma back to her ship.

When Mothma arrives back on Chandrila, she heads back into the basement to tell Ahsoka what Organa told her, only to find Ahsoka missing.

Elsewhere on Chandrila, a young Jun Sato and Utinni carry various ship parts to his home. However, when he enters his garage to put the parts away, he is greeted by Ahsoka, who compliments him on his mechanic skills as she examines various small-scale ships. Confused as to why a total stranger has broken into his house, he questions her on what she wants, and she answers that she wants help as she finally turns away from the ships and towards him. She reveals that she knows Sato is the son of senator Nee Alavar, a member of the Delegation of 2,000, which attempted to stop Palpatine from taking over the galaxy. Alongside many members of the delegation, Nee Alavar was "mysteriously" murdered when Palpatine took over, with only the most popular with the people (such as Organa and Mothma) surviving. Her only surviving family member was her son, who was relocated to Chandrila, where he was adopted and raised, only somewhat aware of the events surrounding his birth mother and her death. Although Jun Sato is shocked and terrified by the prospect of someone else knowing about this, Ahsoka assures him that she is a friend, and just wants him to continue his mother's legacy and use his mechanic and pilot skills to help her spark a rebellion. Utinni, who has been listening, is very willing, but Sato is less so, worried that any of his attempts will lead to him joining his mother in death.

Ahsoka agrees to leave Sato alone and leaves to return to Mon Mothma as Utinni and Sato argue. When Ahsoka returns to her basement, she finds Mothma, who is very angry with the young ex-padawan for risking not only her own safety, but Mothma and the Sato family's. Ahsoka insists that she stayed out of surveillance, but Mothma warns her that carelessness like this could lead to the rebellion falling before it can even begin. Ahsoka reluctantly apologizes, though she also adds that she will need to be able to leave the basement somehow. Mothma agrees to help her find a disguise.

Disguised in a cloak and face paint, Ahsoka slips off to meet with Utinni near the outskirts of Hanna City, a meeting Ahsoka told the Jawa about after planting a communication device on her robe. Ahsoka shows Utinni the damaged remains of the ex-padawan's ship, an Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor, which Utinni is immediately able to recognize. In her attempts to escape Order 66, Ahsoka purposefully crashed the ship to fake her own death, but now requires it for the rebellion, and asks if Utinni thinks she can fix it. Utinni responds that she will need time to examine it, and Ahsoka assures her that, at least for the time being, the area is secure. Utinni promises to work quickly as Ahsoka heads back to her base.

As Utinni works, she is discovered by Jun, who is outraged with the Jawa for sneaking off and risking her life for a "useless" cause. Utinni and Jun argue again, and Utinni asks Jun if he considers everything his mother did for the galaxy useless. This hits Jun hard, but he still refuses to help her and leaves.

Ahsoka meets with Utinni again to check up on her. She has fixed a majority of the ship, but requires tools from Jun to finish. They are suddenly approached by Imperial troops, who question them on what they're doing. Ahsoka quickly covers that they had just discovered the wreckage of the ship and were talking about what to do with it. The troops decide to take it to the scrap heap, and Ahsoka unthinkingly objects. Suspicious of Ahsoka and Utinni, the troops attempt to arrest them, but are suddenly shot by stun blasts from Jun. Knowing they only have a short amount of time before the troops wake up and/or more arrive, Jun hands Utinni the tools she needed to finish repairing the ship and the two rush to work. As they work, one of the troops manages to call for backup without being noticed, but by the time the backup has arrived, the ship is in working order. As Utinni ducks into the astromech port for protection, Ahsoka allows Jun to take the pilot seat as she carefully balances on its top and uses Jun's blaster to attack the troops while Jun flies the ship away, escaping the empire successfully.

Mothma later emerges from her house to find her ship missing and a coded message from Ahsoka, informing her that her cover had been blown. However, to keep Mothma safe, Ahsoka made her ship appear stolen, and requested that Mothma tell Jun's parents that he and Utinni were killed by the rebels, not a part of them. Mothma's eyes start to water as she reads this, and looks into the sky just in time to see Ahsoka and Jun fly past in the two ships, wishing them luck.

On Alderaan, Ahsoka, Jun, and Utinni meet with Bail, who informs them that he has set up a base safe from the empire for the rebellion. At Ahsoka's request, he promises to keep in secret contact with Mothma and keep her updated on the rebellion's actions. As the episode ends, Jun asks Ahsoka what they do now, and Ahsoka responds simply, "We fight."

uh yeah that's it. what do you guys think?
