In his attempts to draw the Chosen One to the dark side, The Son shows Anakin what he will do and become in his future. Causing the Father to take some rather drastic action.

Before the Jedi can leave Mortis, the Son takes Ahsoka captive in an attempt to entice Anakin into joining him to use their combined strength to overpower his Father and Sister. To this end, the Son casts Ahsoka under the spell of the dark side. Meanwhile, the Father attempts to stave off a disastrous showdown between his children and maintain the Force's increasingly precarious balance on the planet. Fearing that the Son may be unstoppable, the Daughter does the forbidden by taking Obi-Wan Kenobi to the Altar of Mortis, wherein is kept the Dagger of Mortis, a weapon capable of killing a Force-wielder. The Son steals the weapon, and attempts to use it against his Father to steal his power and end his rule, but the Daughter sacrifices herself, placing herself in front of the blade.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, RFRN fans!! Republic Forces Radio Network officially ends its Droids retrospective series with a review of the Star Wars Holiday Special animated short, "A Faithful Wookie." This special features the world debut of bounty hunter and "friend", Boba Fett.
