The promo opens with an officer of the Galactic Empire telling his commander, "Sir, three unidentified star-ships have just entered our sector." Following this, the commanding officer orders him to launch fighters to intercept the ships.

Then through a channel, the officer says, "Attention! This is lieutenant List, Lothal is now a restricted system, by order of the Emperor. Identity ourselves immediately." The voice on the other side replies that they had come with relief supplies for citizens of Lothal. "Our mission is sanctioned by the imperial Senate".

The lieutenant the says: "I wasn't informed of your visit. Do you have a landing permit?" The other officers says the permits have come and that they were from Alderaan. The lieutenant then says that he will handle the issue personally.

Meanwhile, another promo for the episode shows, Kanan and Ezra wearing Stormtrooper armors to welcome their new ally Princess Leia. The Jedi duo will also save her from Imperial troops in the episode.

Moreover, executive producer Dave Filoni spoke of the challenges of depicting Leia in Star Wars Rebels. Filoni told TV Insider: "We thought we had an opportunity to show her learning to be a leader, experimenting with the personality that becomes the stronger more resolute character you see in Star Wars: A New Hope."

"One of the complex challenges of depicting Leia in Rebels is that we have to remind the audience that at this point she is part of the Empire. She doesn't believe in the Empire, but she is acting the part, almost a double agent," he explained.
