[beeping]

[Gramps] Huh?

There’s no need to worry, okay?

We’re heading straight for Bibin, just as the Margrave directed.

I’m not worried with all the experience you have, old-timer.

[Gramps] Oh? [laughs]

[whirring] [lightsaber buzzing]

[Kara breathes deeply]

[grunts]

[lasers firing] [grunting]

[grunting] [clangs]

[Juro] That’s enough.

[panting]

Your mind is elsewhere right now.

Focus and be in the moment.

[Juro sighs]

Something is troubling you. Tell me what it is.

[Kara] When we were on Makoma Ko, the man we met…

The one named Gennoh… he had a red lightsaber.

I was just wondering if it is possible that my father, he… made that red lightsaber.

Hmm. There is an old Jedi tale…

Huh? [Juro] Of course, you wouldn’t have heard it.

A long time ago, our former Master once tried to revive the Jedi Order to bring about peace in the galaxy.

Just as darkness is born wherever there is light, so emerged those who used the Force to bring about selfishness and greed.

They were called the Sith.

That lightsaber he wielded could have been one handed down from long ago.

So, then my father might not have made it.

[chuckles]

The one thing I know about Zhima is that he’s the type of man who would not aid a Sith, even if his life depended on it.

[sighs]

I believe you, but something still seems off, Juro.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Juro, I need to see my father.

We have to find him as soon as possible.

Trust me, I understand how you feel.

Nevertheless, facing Nawaam alone would not be a smart decision.

We need more Jedi.

We need soldiers who will be willing to fight alongside us.

[sighs]

[Juro chuckles]

[gasps]

Kara, you have a strong connection to the Force.

Trust in the Force, and listen to your heart.

And when the time is right, we will know.

[Kara] Hmm.

[digital beeping]

[Kara gasps] [Juro] Hmm?

[Homen over comms] Juro, please come to the bridge.

We’ll be exiting hyperspace shortly.

[♪ captivating music playing]

Whoa. [gasps]

[gasps] It’s huge…

[Homen] There it is.

I’ve always dreamed of stepping foot on Bibin.

How come? [Homen] Hmm?

[sighs] Let’s just say, this place, it’s special to us.

A long time ago… [Kara gasps]

…there was a Jedi who, on his own, founded a small order there.

And it was there on Bibin where I studied the Force.

As did your father.

It was where he became a Jedi.

[Kara gasps]

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[surveillance droid beeping and chirping]

[ships whooshing]

[♪ suspenseful music playing]

[Four-Nines chirps]

[whirring, clicking]

[Four-Nines whirring]

[quietly] Hurry it up, will ya?

[Four-Nines speaking Droid]

[in English] Wait, what?

You think I was spooked by seeing Nawaam’s lightsaber?

[chuckles] No way. Not in the least.

[gasps]

Kyber crystals?

[Four-Nines speaking Droid]

[in English] What do you think they’re doing with so many of them?

What could they be planning? [grunts]

[Four-Nines speaking Droid]

[steam hissing]

[ship powering up]

[machinery whirring]

[♪ suspenseful music continues]

[Ethan grunts] [Four-Nines whirring]

[mechanical whirring]

[Gennoh] I beg your forgiveness, General Nawaam.

I failed to capture Juro.

I am prepared to accept your punishment.

[Nawaam] I have no intention to punish the last of the Sith.

You will have your opportunity to face Juro again and stop him next time.

[Gennoh] I’m sorry, but… it wasn’t him.

It was Lah Zhima’s daughter who got in my way.

[Nawaam] Oh?

[Gennoh] I sensed that the Force is strong with her.

The sooner we defeat her, the better.

[mechanical whirring]

[Gennoh] Who could have thought they could be used this way?

[Nawaam] I can think of no better way than to use this symbol to show the galaxy our power.

[Four-Nines speaking Droid]

[In English] They’re using the crystals to make a weapon?

[weapon powering up]

[electronic beeping]

[♪ sinister music playing]

[beeping continues]

[Ethan gasps]

[weapon powering up]

[alarm beeping] [Nawaam] Huh?

[electricity crackling] [all gasping]

[scientists screaming]

[weapon powering down]

[scientists groaning]

I’m sorry, General Nawaam, but we’re still unable to get the crystals to resonate with the–

[electricity crackling] [wincing]

[Nawaam] Bring me Lord Zhima. [droid beeps]

[breathes heavily]

Well, this is certainly a surprise.

I never expected any Jedi to come back to this planet, Margrave Juro.

Thank you for granting me an audience, Lady Tafflah.

We are most grateful that you–

Spare me the pleasantries.

I’m quite busy at the moment, so please just state your business.

What is it that brings you here?

Uh…

There is a general named Nawaam who seeks to gain control of the galaxy and whose influence is rapidly expanding.

I am of the opinion that this will lead us all to destruction.

As a Jedi, I cannot sit by and do nothing.

[Tafflah sighs]

And so I was guided here.

You were guided here? You mean guided by the Force?

I’m sorry to say this, but from my perspective, -you Jedi seem to be nothing more… [gasps]

…than bringers of chaos.

Surely you couldn’t have already forgotten about that incident, have you, Margrave Juro?

[Kara sighs]

[sighs]

I can’t stress how dangerous Nawaam is.

He must be stopped.

[sighs wearily]

Very well, then.

At any rate, I have no desire to further dwell on the tragedies of the past.

But as you already know, there are no longer any Jedi left on our planet.

What we are searching for are allies who will stand up with us for the sake of the galaxy.

You are free to conduct your search.

However, keep in mind that our planet recognizes the sovereignty of each and every person.

We will land in the mining region.

[Gramps] Alrighty.

[whooshes]

[quietly] Hey, Homen, do you know why the Jedi Order on this planet dissolved?

And what incident?

[Homen] The story is that the Master who oversaw the Jedi Order here was killed… by his own Padawan.

[engine whirring]

[digital beeping]

What’s this? There’s an asteroid

that’s headed straight for us. No, don’t worry. We’ll be fine.

But…

[Homen and Kara gasp]

[gasps]

[Juro] I can handle it from here.

[♪ mysterious music playing]

[doors whirring]

[gasps] Are you sure that this is safe?

Trust me. Just follow them in.

[Kara grunts] Hmm.

[whooshing]

[thuds]

[ship hisses]

[Kara] Are these the soldiers we were looking for?

But they’re just regular miners, right?

It would seem so, wouldn’t it?

Huh?

[♪ tense music playing]

[Kara pants]

[♪ music ends]

[blade slashes]

[blade clangs] [Kara and Homen gasp]

Draw now!

[gasps] Juro!

[Juro grunts] [man grunts]

[blades clanging] [both grunting]

[Kara gasps] [Juro grunts]

[both grunting]

[blades clang]

[blades clang] [whimpers, shudders]

[man laughs] [gasps]

[continues laughing]

Now that’s true Jedi mastery if I’ve ever seen it.

Not too shabby yourself.

It’s nice to see you haven’t gotten rusty, Kwana.

It’s been far too long. You look like you’re in good health.

Hey! Everyone, Master Juro has returned to Bibin!

[miner] Mmm-mmm.

[Kara gasps] [Gramps] Huh?

Sorry about them.

They don’t bear you any ill will or anything.

No worries. It’s a natural reaction.

Ever since that incident, people view the Jedi differently.

It must have been hard for you.

You looked up to Master Reno more than anyone else I knew.

[Kwana] Oh, my dream of becoming a Jedi is a thing of the past.

Uh, but speaking of… would you mind giving me a peek of your lightsaber, Juro?

[grunts]

I know I probably shouldn’t be asking, but I’m just so proud that my old friend is now a true Jedi Master.

[lightsaber buzzing]

[gasps]

[Kwana sighs]

[Kara grunts] Hmm?

So, the two of you know each other?

It’s a little more than just that.

The two of us, we spent our youth together.

We’re like brothers. [Juro] Hmm.

Kwana, my friend.

I have a favor to ask of you.

It is something that involves not only you, but the miners.

I can’t imagine what a Jedi would need help with.

I need help stopping a war.

And I seek your aid.

You’re speaking of Nawaam.

I’ve heard tales of his fearsomeness.

[Juro grunts]

[♪ tense music playing]

[Nawaam] What are these for?

[droid] Well, he may not be armed, but as a prisoner–

[rumbling]

[Four-Nines speaking Droid] [Ethan gasps]

[Nawaam in English] My apologies for the disrespect, master.

I’ve told you many times, I am not your Master, Nawaam.

[Nawaam exhales]

[Ethan] Master?

[electronic beeping]

[low whirring]

Those are kyber crystals.

[weapon powering up]

[electricity crackling]

[scientists grunting] [weapon whirring]

[electricity crackling]

[weapon powering down]

[whirring]

Hmm.

[♪ mysterious music playing]

[whooshes]

[kyber crystals crackling]

[dings] [whooshes]

[electronic beeping]

It’s suddenly restabilized.

I don’t understand how this happened. [grunts]

[Nawaam] I expected nothing less, Master.

What you’ve done goes against the laws of nature.

If you keep this up, you will destroy the entire planet.

[Nawaam] That is a device that will bring about people’s awakening.

Once the crystal’s light is unleashed, they will come to realize the truth.

That there is only one thing needed for peace… and that is strength.

I knew that once I explained, you would understand, Master.

[grunts]

[droid] Lord Nawaam, our surveillance satellites have located the exact location

of Juro’s ship. [gasps] Hmm.

[whirring, beeping]

[ships whooshing]

[all laughing]

[♪ lively music playing]

From the looks of things, this Kwana is quite popular.

Yeah.

Kara, come with me. [Kara] Huh?

Homen, you should hear this as well. [Homen] Hmm?

[lively chatter]

Oh, Juro! Look.

See how many fearless folk have gathered!

Now, tell me how we can help you.

[Juro exhales]

[Juro] Zhima was abducted by Nawaam.

What? Is that really true?

I kept him in hiding on Hy Izlan where he created a new life for himself as a sabersmith.

I’m not sure how exactly, but Nawaam must have caught wind of it and then abducted him.

No doubt Nawaam wants to use Zhima’s technology in his galactic conquest.

And that is why I must rescue him.

Hmm. I still remember that day.

We were so young, you, me, and him.

We all swore to each other that we would eventually become Jedi one day.

Back then we called him brother.

And today, he’s a wanton criminal.

[both gasp]

Huh?

This girl is Zhima’s daughter.

She traveled all this way to save her father.

Huh? [gasps, stutters]

I don’t believe it.

[Kara] Juro… [Kwana] Hmm?

Sorry, but… what was he talking about?

[Juro] Kara. [gasps]

The sad truth is, your father was exiled from Bibin as a criminal.

His crime was murdering his master, Reno Tsutara.

[Kara gasps]

There has to be more to it!

I’m afraid I don’t know the details of what happened, since I was already on Hy Izlan at that time, so I only heard the rumors.

Then one day, he suddenly appeared before me.

He looked to be in a pitiful state.

He requested that I shelter him and asked me not to ask any questions.

[Baby Kara crying]

[Juro] In his arms was you as a baby.

[crying] [♪ somber music playing]

[breath trembling]

But Juro, how can you help him after what he’s done?

Our master was killed… by his hand.

I still believe in Zhima.

He must’ve had his reasons.

And I came here hoping that you would feel the same way, brother.

[indistinct chatter]

[all laughing]

[laughing stops] [miner] Hmm?

[miners exclaim]

[miners murmuring]

Thank you all for coming today.

My name is Margrave Juro.

I am a Jedi who studied here under Master Reno Tsutara.

We have witnessed Nawaam’s cruelty, as he sets out to conquer our galaxy.

He has joined forces with the remaining Sith and grows his ranks by recruiting those who only seek power.

There is no faction in the galaxy capable of resisting Nawaam.

I believe he can still be stopped!

But only if we stand together.

Otherwise, the galaxy will enter a dark age.

Our future now depends on all of you.

[silence]

[sighs]

Huh?

[Kwana grunts] [Homen gasps]

[screams] [grunts]

[grunting]

I’m ashamed to even know you cowards! [Kara grunts]

[Kwana grunts] [Homen] Ah!

What happened to your backbone?

Since when did you all become so faint of heart?

[straining, gasps]

[Kwana] The galaxy needs the strength of us miners!

It needs us now more than ever!

Then tell us this, Kwana.

Why should we get involved?

What does that galaxy’s war have to do with us Asteroid Diggers?

You’re right. If you spend your life inside this rock, then you don’t have to worry about the rest of the galaxy.

Fine!

But then it will only be a matter of time before Nawaam comes for us.

So what? That doesn’t change the fact that we don’t stand a chance against Nawaam. He’s too powerful.

This man right here is brave enough to do it!

And he’s traveled far to do so!

And I could not be prouder to call him brother!

[grunting]

[Kwana] And I will follow him! [gasps]

Because… helping each other is what brothers do.

[♪ somber music playing]

[Homen] Kara, wait.

[Kara grunts, gasps] [wood snaps]

[Kwana whimpers] [all gasp]

[Kwana grunts]

Listen! I used to think the same way as you do.

That war only happened in faraway places.

But then, suddenly, one day, Nawaam took my father away.

[miners gasping]

Brave miners! [Homen grunts]

With your help, we will be strong enough to defeat Nawaam!

[Homen grunts] Please help us!

[breath trembling]

[miner 1] I will help you!

[miner 2] Hmm? [miner 3 gasps]

[gasps]

I will too!

As will I!

We’re with you!

[miner 4] Leave it to us!

[miners assenting] [chuckles softly]

[Kara grunts] [miners cheering]

[Kara] Kwana!

I’m not the type to sit around worrying.

I’ll just go straight to the source.

And when we find Zhima, I’ll be able to get answers about what happened straight from his mouth.

[Juro] Kwana.

[metal clinks] Here, take this.

[gasps]

I don’t understand. What is this?

It is a lightsaber forged by Zhima.

I don’t want it… or your pity.

You already know that I’m not strong in the Force.

I don’t have what it takes to be a Jedi.

Having a strong connection to the Force was something that my former master sought out.

But what I am looking for is something different.

What I am looking for… are individuals who are willing to fight on behalf of others.

[gasps]

There’s no way you’d fight as well as you do if you had truly given up on your dream of being a Jedi.

You might not believe in yourself, but I believe in you enough to give you this lightsaber.

[grunts]

[♪ somber music continues]

[grunting]

[exclaims] [lightsaber buzzing]

[grunting]

[gasps]

[grunting]

[lightsaber buzzing] [breathing heavily]

[sighs]

[grunts]

Hmm.

So this is the kind of Jedi that Juro was searching for.

Seems like I’d be no match for him.

[chuckles] I guess not.

[alarm blaring] [miner] Wh– What?

[Kara and Homen gasp] [alarm stops]

[powers up]

[indistinct chatter]

[Nawaam] Hear me, denizens of the galaxy.

My name is Nawaam, and I will bring order to the chaos that surrounds us.

Right now, across every sector, mighty figures are vying for power.

[droid chirps]

[Nawaam] But how many among them truly care about the galaxy?

How many among them aim to bring about the galaxy’s unification?

[grunts]

[Nawaam] This is a call for surrender.

Yield now, and you will be allowed to follow my army.

[Four-Nines speaking Droid]

[Nawaam in English] All those who oppose us will be crushed.

Our forces are ready and positioned to take any of you on.

There is no corner of the galaxy that my kyber crystal cannon cannot reach.

You will now witness its power.

First, I will show you the destruction of those who offered a hiding place to the corrupt Jedi rats.

[♪ sinister music playing]
