Ezra Bridger is getting an up close and personal look at ye olde Star Wars history.

Ezra (voiced by Taylor Gray), his mentor and friend Kanan (Freddie Prinze Jr.) and former Jedi apprentice Ahsoka Tano (Ashley Eckstein) seek information on their dreaded enemy Darth Vader — Ahsoka's former master — in the one-hour season finale of Disney XD's Star Wars Rebels on Wednesday (9 p.m. ET/PT). While looking for an Inquisitor, their quest takes them to the ancient Sith temple on the planet Malachor.

This exclusive clip from the second season's last episode shows the three heroes poking around what seems to be an ancient battle between the Jedi and the Sith, and Ezra finds an old, beat-up tri-saber — which incidentally looks a lot like the weapon that will one day be wielded by Kylo Ren in Star Wars: The Force Awakens (though green-tipped instead of Sith-friendly red). Ahsoka's getting some troubling vibes from the place, and no doubt, since they're quickly attacked by a masked foe.

For those who dig Sith lords, this finale's hooking you up: Not only does Vader (voiced by the legendary James Earl Jones) make an appearance but so does the aging Darth Maul (Sam Witwer, reprising the role from Star Wars: The Clone Wars).
