Plot summary
Leia informs the rebels that the massive Leviathan is as powerful as a Star Destroyer and they will need the plans to defeat it. She outlines a plan for a small team to infiltrate the crawler, with an astromech to slice into the core security system and a protocol droid to handle local customs. If they succeed, they can power down its anti-air weapons and seal off the bridge, giving a second, larger team a window to attack. Benthic and Han Solo volunteer to lead the second team.
Luke reflects with Ubin on the heroism of Rogue One and their selfless sacrifices, noting how they did everything they could so he could destroy the Death Star. Leia adds that true heroism is not flinching in the face of danger, citing the rebels who fought Darth Vader on the Profundity.
The heroes infiltrate the Leviathan using two boxes as a disguise, and Luke, Leia, R2-D2, and C-3PO split up, with Luke heading for the bridge. Meanwhile, the rebel base is ambushed by Imperials, forcing the rebels to escape aboard the Millennium Falcon. Han uses the Falcon to distract a Star Destroyer, while Luke confronts Commander Kanchan on the Leviathan's bridge. At the same time, Queen Trios, now armed, confronts Leia and C-3PO.
