According to spoilers from Collider, in this premiere episode of "Star Wars Rebels" season 4, Sabine is going to lead Ezra (Taylor Gray) and Kanan (Freddie Prinze Jr.), as well as her fellow Mandalorians, back to Mandalore, her homeworld. They are going to rescue her father, who had been held captive by the Galactic Empire after she fled the Imperial Academy of Mandalore.
However, as she finds out that the Empire has revived an old, extremely deadly weapon, she will be left with a dilemma on whether she should destroy it or use the said weapon to defeat the tyrannical government.
A new exclusive clip featuring the meeting between Sabine and Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff), a former member of the Death Watch, is posted on IGN. The said character has been missing in action for quite a while now, and this will be her much-awaited return.
