[♪ legendary music playing]

[lightsaber activates]

[♪ dramatic music playing]

Are you sure Nawaam is really headed for Hy Izlan?

[Bee-Toh] Yep, at least that’s where we were told to rendezvous.

But not sure how we’re gonna go about this alone.

Nawaam’s army is too big for you to take on by yourself.

It doesn’t matter.

If Nawaam’s going to be there, then my father will be too.

We’ll figure it out afterwards.

[Bee-Toh] You’re making a “I’m gonna fight him alone” face.

That’s very bold. [sighs]

[♪ dramatic music continues]

[♪ music fades]

[Ethan] This is where it all started.

Who’s there? [Ethan grunts]

[gasps] Zhima, is that you?

[Homen gasps] [Ethan chuckles]

[Ethan panting]

Master Zhima, you made it.

I’m glad to see that you also made it.

[Four-Nines speaks Binary] [gasps, in English] Four-Nines!

[speaking Binary]

[in English] What a pleasant surprise. I didn’t expect you to bring Kwana.

Well, of course.

I was ultimately convinced after Juro handed me this.

[Zhima chuckles] Hmm.

Pleasure to make your acquaintance.

My name is Homen.

I am a masterless Jedi, like Ethan and Kwana.

Well, I appreciate you joining us today.

[digital beeping] [Kwana] Huh?

[Gramps] I’m spotting a lot of ships coming out of hyperspace right now.

[Ethan] Is it Nawaam’s army?

[Gramps] No. Uh… [whooshes]

[ships whooshing]

[Homen and Ethan gasp]

[Tafflah over comms] Come in. Do you read me?

This is the Bibin Defense Fleet.

We heard you could use some extra firepower.

Lady Tafflah! [Ethan gasps]

[warbling] [all gasp]

Sorry to keep everyone waiting.

It took us a while to rally all the troops.

[digital beeping] [chuckles] Hmm?

[beeping continues]

[Homen] Has Nawaam attacked?

[Gramps] Oh, my. Here comes a little latecomer to the party.

And who could that be?

–[over comms] This is Lah Kara. [all gasp]

[Kara] Is my father, Lah Zhima, there? [Zhima gasps]

[gasps] Kara!

[Kara panting]

[gasps]

[Four-Nines speaking Binary]

[in English] I don’t believe it… [whimpering]

[gasps, sobbing]

[Zhima sighs]

[sobbing hysterically]

[Zhima] Kara…

[Kara sobbing]

[Kara] Oh, thank goodness.

I missed you so much.

[chuckles, grunts]

[Kwana chuckles]

[footsteps approaching] [Zhima gasps]

[Tafflah] Hmm? [Kara gasps]

[gasps] [grunts]

[lightsabers buzzing]

No! Father! Wait!

[Bee-Toh] Honestly, if you cut me down right now, I wouldn’t blame you.

It would just be a tad unfortunate, seeing I’m currently under your daughter’s employ.

[Zhima gasps] It’s the truth.

A lot has happened since you’ve been gone, but basically, what he really wants to do right now is fight for what is right, and now he’s ready to fight alongside us.

[lightsaber buzzing] [gasps]

[Bee-Toh] You believe me now?

[Zhima] The color of your lightsaber tells me all I need to know.

[Bee-Toh] Hmm.

[sighs in relief]

I’m sorry for everything, Kara.

There are still so many things I have yet to tell you about.

It’s okay.

I think I understand now.

She knows. [gasps]

Why’d you keep it a secret?

We would’ve understood. [Four-Nines speaks Binary]

[sighs]

[metal clinks]

[♪ melancholy music playing]

[inaudible]

[Zhima] You’re right.

When I think about it, I never really was alone.

That reminds me…

[gasps]

I believe that this belongs to you.

[Ethan grunts]

And I have something for you. It’s yours, right?

Uh…

And this last lightsaber is for you.

Thank you, but I don’t believe I’m qualified to accept it.

You’re wrong, you absolutely do.

Besides, I’m sure this is what Juro would’ve wanted.

[Tafflah] Uh… [Dunbai] Hmm.

Uh… [sighs]

Hmm.

[Zhima] So, this must be the birth of the new Jedi Order that Juro once dreamt of.

[Kara] Huh?

I never wanted for you to have to walk down this path, Kara.

[sighs]

[Zhima] Did you strike someone down?

[Kara] Yes.

[Bee-Toh] But take it from me, for what it’s worth, your daughter is really strong.

I mean, she’s up there with the strongest Jedi I’ve faced.

She would be.

But despite all of your strength, I would’ve never chosen a Jedi’s life for you.

There are times when a Jedi must make heartbreaking choices.

It isn’t easy to make such decisions.

And being strong doesn’t mean you will automatically be standing on the right side of justice.

I’ve learned that.

[sighs] But then, how else are we supposed to help those who are in need?

That’s a question I have yet to find an answer to.

[lightsaber buzzing]

[lightsabers crackling]

[thuds] [lightsaber crackling]

[♪ melancholy music playing]

[lightsaber buzzing]

But there’s more to it than just strength.

Otherwise, we would be no different from Nawaam.

If it wasn’t for what happened that day, he might’ve become a great Jedi.

Not… From Nawaam…

I mean, I guess.

[sighs]

But what was he like? You knew Nawaam, right?

[Zhima] He was just a youngling when Reno tried to bring back the Jedi Order.

[all gasp]

[Zhima] That day, when I chose to take the wrong path, he was there, and he became convinced that it was the right one.

So, you see, I am the one who turned him into a monster.

[ship whooshing]

[digital beeping]

[Gramps over comms] Oh, stay sharp, everyone.

It looks like our guest of honor’s just arrived.

[♪ sinister music playing]

[Gennoh] It appears that they got the jump on us somehow.

They’re still no more than a disorganized mess.

[Gennoh] Indeed. And that much easier to crush.

Activate the tractor beam.

And bring in the kyber crystal.

[electronic beeping]

[powering up]

[beam warbling]

[rumbling] [Tafflah grunts]

We’re being pulled in.

Our allies bought us time and slowed them down, but it was just a matter of time.

All of you are going to have to attack the fortress from the outside.

Father, what about you?

[Zhima] I have to stay here and defend the crystal.

That’s why I came here in the first place.

We cannot allow Nawaam to get his hands on that crystal.

Because they are unprepared for the consequences that will happen if they use that thing.

[Ethan] What do you mean? [Zhima grunts]

This crystal’s purity grade is too high.

The power that would come from something this size would make it impossible to control.

Imagine daring to put a crystal like this inside a cannon of that magnitude.

It won’t just obliterate its target… Everything in its line of fire, from here to the edge of the galaxy, will be wiped from existence.

[Four-Nines chirps]

So the fate of the galaxy is resting on the outcome of our little battle.

[chuckles]

[sighs]

[Kwana] Well, then I’m going out for a spin.

I’ll leave the rest to you.

[Zhima] You two should go and join the defense fleet, and attack Nawaam’s fortress from the outside.

I’m not leaving you, Father!

[Zhima] You must.

I have to do this alone.

If something were to happen, I need to know that you’ll survive.

But, I…

If the worst comes to pass out there, promise me you’ll run.

Choose an honest life, not a glorious death.

[Ethan] Hmm. [Kara gasps]

May the Force be with you.

Come on. [Kara] Uh…

[Four-Nines speaking Binary] [Kara sighs]

[Gennoh in English] Bhozn, you will be in charge of handling the enemy fleet.

Do not fail again.

And what will you be doing?

[Gennoh] I’ll be retrieving the kyber crystal… with your permission.

Yes.

[Bhozn] Does it seem odd to you that Gennoh would rather retrieve a crystal than lead this battle?

He’s not seeking a crystal, but rather, revenge.

Revenge?

[whooshes]

[beam warbling]

[grunts] Attention all vessels.

Our target is the enemy fortress’s power center!

Hit ’em with everything you’ve got!

The rest of you, support the Meteorite Fleet!

Draw the enemy this way!

[Tafflah] The fate of the galaxy depends on this battle.

Everyone’s future is in your hands.

[♪ dramatic music playing]

[engines powering up]

[Bhozn] Listen up, you brutes!

I don’t want a single one of their ships able to reach Fort Dominion!

[whirring]

[lasers thudding]

[crew grunting]

[explodes]

[footsteps approaching]

[Gennoh] I knew you’d be here, Lah Zhima.

[gasps] Wait, we have to turn around now!

[Bee-Toh] But why?

[Kara] My father’s in danger!

I can sense it.

[whooshes]

[Ethan] Kara! [sighs]

Well, I guess we have no choice but to turn back around too.

Agreed.

[Gramps] All righty.

Listen. You cannot use this temple’s crystal as a weapon.

You will not be able to control what it does.

[Gennoh] What of it?

I don’t care what happens.

All I care about is defeating you.

[whirring, clicking]

[Zhima gasps]

[lightsaber buzzing]

Fine. As you wish.

[lightsaber buzzing]

[lightsabers crackling] [both grunting]

[grunts]

So, you’re using your new upgrades to track my moves.

[Gennoh] Precisely, but there’s more…

[clinking]

Let’s see how you do against these upgrades!

[both grunting]

[Zhima grunts]

[panting]

Father! [gasps]

Kara, why did you come back?

[Gennoh] If I were you, I’d stay focused!

Watch out! [rumbling]

[Kara gasps] [crashes]

[footsteps thudding]

[thuds]

[grunts] [lightsaber buzzing]

[grunts] [thuds]

[grunts]

[both grunting]

[grunting]

[Kara grunts]

[panting]

[grunts, gasps]

[blaster firing] [gasps]

[Bee-Toh grunts]

[grunts]

[thuds] [blasters firing]

[yells] [lightsaber crackling]

[grunts] [lightsaber crackling]

[Homen and Ethan grunt, exclaim]

[Bee-Toh] Now what? Lightsabers and blasters don’t work on that thing.

[sighs] Forget about saving Zhima, at this rate, we won’t even be able to save ourselves.

That’s not true.

[Bee-Toh] What do you mean?

Take a closer look.

See the shield?

I think it’s having trouble maintaining it, which means our attacks are doing some damage.

[Homen] So, at that power level, it can’t keep its shield deployed constantly.

Okay. But how do we take that thing down?

[rumbling] [Ethan and Kara gasp]

[rumbling]

Something’s wrong out there.

We have to wrap this up and help them.

Uh, Kara?

[Gennoh grunts]

[panting]

[lightsabers crackling]

[♪ solemn music playing]

[sighs]

[Gennoh] Despite all of your Jedi training, you can’t outmatch my speed with this body.

And this time, I will defeat you.

How foolish.

[lightsaber buzzing]

[inhales, exhales]

[lightsaber powers up]

[lightsaber powers up]

[both grunting]

[electricity crackling]

[lightsaber buzzing]

[Gennoh grunts]

[grunts] [electricity crackling]

[Gennoh screaming]

[thuds] [electricity crackling]

[Kara grunts]

[powering down]

[sizzling]

[♪ solemn music playing]

[footsteps approaching]

[Kara gasps, sighs]

[rumbling] [rock cracking]

[wind blowing]

[all grunting]

Oh, no!

[grunts]

[wind blowing] [warbling]

[♪ dramatic music playing]

Hmm.

[Ethan] This is bad. They have the crystal.

I’d scold you for coming back, but we do not have the time.

Listen.

You must do everything you can to destroy the kyber cannon.

They cannot be allowed to use it.

What about you?

I’ll find Nawaam so I can end this, once and for all.
