When a ship equipped with Ezra Bridger reveals a command, Ezra Bridger‘s effect may be resolved first to move an objective token that is on an obstacle to be at distance 1 of that ship so that that token may be removed by the special rule on Capture the VIP.

When a ship with the objective token is destroyed because it ends its activation outside the play area, the objective token must be placed before the ship is removed. The opponent must place the token touching part of the ship’s base that is in the play area or touching the edge of the play area closest to the ship’s final position if no part of the ship is in the play area.

If there are no obstacles in or near the area where the objective token can be placed, then no objective token is placed in the play area.

The special rule:
When a ship reveals (not gains) its command dial, and it is also at distance 1 of the objective token, that ships owner may choose to remove that objective token and place it on that ships ship card. If a ship carrying the objective token is destroyed or ends its movement out of the play area, before removing that ship, the opponent of that ship places the objective token within the play area touching that ships base or as close to the ships base as possible. Then remove the destroyed ship.
