Not quite. Rukh was the one who directed Pryce towards the fuel depot, so he did play an indirect role in Kanan's death. Not to mention, he'd already been trying to kill the heroes several times anyway.

Actually, decided to remove this, since it's a bit speculative and also a spoiler for an upcoming episode.

* PyrrhicVillainy: Pryce's reckless decision to blow up the fuel tanks to stop the Rebels has brought TIE Defender production to a grinding halt. She only succeeded in killing one of them (admittedly a high-value target) but also allowed a prisoner with detailed knowledge of the Rebellion to escape. As Thrawn puts it, she gave the Rebels a huge victory and hamstrung his entire production plan... all to take out one single Jedi. Even then, as he puts it, with Kanan's leadership gone, the Rebels will simply turn their attention to Ezra instead; meaning Kanan's death hasn't served as big a blow as she claims it has.

* DeadlyEuphemism: When discussing what to do about Rukh, Zeb suggests "They took one of ours. We take one of theirs." Sabine agrees, but the fact that she later has to stop Zeb from beating Rukh to death (and, just before that, tags him with a non-lethal paint bomb) suggests she didn't quite realise what she was agreeing to.
* HaveYouToldAnyoneElse: Subverted. Pryce asks this of her lieutenant, who replies that while they're the only people who ''currently'' know that the TIE Defender factory is inoperable, the Empire ''is'' going to figure it out sooner or later. Pryce tries to cover it up regardless [[BreadAndCircuses by holding a parade]], but this only succeeds in making Thrawn ''more'' pissed once he figures out what's going on.
* {{Hypocrite}}: Sabine has no qualms about rigging a speeder to explode, killing two Stormtroopers, but objects to Zeb trying to kill Rukh.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: All over the place.
** [[TeamMom Hera]] spends most of the episode so depressed over Kanan's death that she even openly regrets starting the Rebellion in the first place. It takes half the episode for Chopper to snap her out of it.
** On that note, [[TheGadfly Chopper]]. Recognising how serious the situation is, he quietly and sincerely spends the entire episode consoling Hera and helping her come to terms with Kanan's death, without any of his usual quips or antics.
** [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Zeb]] is so furious over Kanan's death that he plans to carry out RevengeByProxy - namely, by ''beating Rukh to death with his bare hands''.
** [[SoftSpokenSadist Thrawn]] is genuinely furious for perhaps the first time in the whole series as he chews out Governor Pryce for [[PyrrhicVictory the manner of her "victory"]] and assures that there ''will'' be consequences.
