* While the scene is mainly a [[TearJerker forlorn]] and [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome badass]] one, remember that Kallus is a LegacyCharacter of Ahsoka per his usage of the Fulcrum insignia, and also notice that he's using communications equipment previously owned by the Bridgers as well, making him a bit of a LegacyCharacter to them too. Neither of them are gone as long as someone continues to honor their memory and/or everything they stood for, whether they know it or not.
* If "Twilight of the Apprentice" was their DownerEnding, "Zero Hour" [[HesBack is about making a comeback]] [[TheDeterminator in spite of]] [[DefiantToTheEnd all of their losses]]. Borrowing a quote from [[Film/RogueOne Jyn Erso]], they'll take the next chance and the next, until they win or the chances are spent. They are rebels, after all. Doubles as CrowningMomentOfAwesome.
