The valent REPUBLIC, lead by Leia Organa, continue their search for the young warrior as well despite her villainous past to keep her from the clutches of the manipulative Lord Hammur and discover secret information she may have withheld.
Leia has sent her Admiral Han Solo to a distant planet, despite being on the tails of their enemies, to find the girl and turn the tide in the Galatic Race.
Summary
A man, D’entu Khrim, is seen meditating over water until a girl, Jaylharm, arrives with her lightsaber and he states that he has heard a lot about her adventures across the galaxy and tells her that she is very sought after in the galaxy. Jaylharm then turns on her lightsaber and tells him that he betrayed her father in the wars and she is now going to get her revenge but he states he didn’t betray her father as the man who led those wars was Hammur’s pawn and not man but Jaylharm goes to strike until she sees a New Order fleet land on the planet and Jaylharm begins running into the woods. As they land, Captain Judeern orders the stormtroopers to follow her. D’entu is then dragged to the leader of the New Order, Ryu Kitur. He remarks on how far he has fallen but he laughs and tells he hasn’t fallen as much as Ryu has. Ryu ask him for Skywalker’s location to save time and the death of many and Judeern rolls her eyes as he asks.D’entu laughs and states that his continuous quest to find him will be his downfall, Ryu then chokes him to the point of unconscious and when Judeern ask why he didn’t kill him, Ryu states that he wants him to wake up to see all of his people dead as he takes out lightsaber and him and stormtroopers invade a village.
Jaylharm runs through the woods and begins getting shot at by stormtroopers and Jaylharm then hides behind a tree and turns on her lightsaber and though she is sloppy with the weapon, she mostly uses the force to push her enemies away in great distances and she gets into her ship and departs from the planet.
Han Solo and Chewbacca are seen waiting outside the planet in the Millennium Falcon. Iswail, his son, ask why they don’t go into the planet already but Han states they have to play the waiting game until they get a message from Leia and Eden telling them to be careful but Han remarks that he’s never learned how to in all of these years. As they see Jaylharm’s ship fly out, The Falcon chases her ship immediately. Iswail asks how they are gonna stop her but Han tells him the Falcon has trap mechanism that will stop the ship but as he is about to TIE fighters begin firing at them and as the Falcon fights them off, a TIE Fighter hits Jaylharm as she flies away. Iswail, in a gust, tells his Dad they have spent years for this opportunity and before Han can protest, Iswail goes into an escape pod and follows her. Jaylharm begins to lose control of her wounded ship and the ship lands into Tatooine.
Ryu and Judeern talk to Lord Hammur and inform him of her landing on Tatooine and he smiles and states that they need the girl, Luke Skywalker’s last apprentice, will lead them to Luke Skywalker and reclaim her father's throne beside Ryu but Juddern states that they are using a lot of resources and interrupts Hammur’s response and states that the resources used to find this girl could be used to destroy the Republic who is susceptible for attack due to them looking for the same thing but he silences her. He tells her that the Republic have made strides in blueprinting the base/planet, The Plaguis and she must go and prepare and dismisses her. Hammur tells Ryu of the immense strength he felt him have on the planet but he hesitated to kill a friend of his father in D’entu and states to become and next force of the galaxy he must destroy those in his past so he can let go of Jacen Skywalker and become the true heir to Vader.
Maxalex and R3 go to a deal exchange and R3 worries due to not trusting the guys but Maxalex calms him down and shows him his gun and that they are ready for things to go sideways. Maxalex and R3 go in and meet with his friend Dice and they both give their goods but Maxalex is told that he didn’t bring enough and he smiles and tells him that he didn’t plan too and he pulls out his gun and Dice is shocked and they shoot up the place and run out and into their speeder and Dice is laughing and shocked he pulled it off and have all this to them but Maxalex tells its just for him and pushes him out of the speeder and Dice is caught.
Maxalex gets home and sets up dinner for his aunts and as they sit and talk and tells them that he just went “shopping” but they laugh and ask if he heard those voices but Maxalex doesn’t find it funny and as Baku tells him that they were joking he tells them that he wished it was a joke and walks out and tells them that he is going “shopping” again.
A montage is shown of Maxalex and R3 griping people off and pulling off robberies. As night approaches they go into Mos Eisley and go to their regular spot. As they walk they see many different creatures and races and sees how different they look. He gets greeting by many and tells R3 that a few years ago he would have pissed him at the mention of this place
Maxalex is then approached by a group of men and their leader, Dax. they tell him that they are aware of his status as a loyal man and someone you can trust in a deal and Maxalex stamps it and ask if they are offering him a job but the man pulls out a gun instead and tells him that their offering him a spot in hell and the man gets emotional as he tells Maxalex how him and his brother only did crime because that’s how their father provided for them but that his brother, Dice, got really into it and he started seeing people die left and right and was getting worried for Dice and Dice was worried too until Dice told him that he meets this kid Maxalex and that they were gonna do one last job for Dice to quit and get off the planet but Dice never came home last night and he then pulls out his Dice’s Jacket and puts it on the table and yells at Maxalex that they trusted him and Maxalex begins to cry. He then tells him before he kills him he wants to know why he did it and a crying Maxalex tells him that he wanted to hear the voice again and that he thought if he did something bad it would come again and he breaks down but as Dax fires Maxlex force pushes the laser away and force pushes him against the wall and as the bar fires at Maxalex he freezes all the lasers and Maxalex tells them that he doesn’t know what’s gonna happen if he lets go and to let him leave and they do and as he does the lasers drop to the floor.
Maxalex and R3 go off and watch the sunset and they eat and listen to music by Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes until they see a crash landing.
Maxalex and R3 go to it and see Jaylharm knocked out R3 tells Maxalex that that’s the girl they heard about the New Order’s radio and Maxalex begins taking her stuff but when he picks up her lightsaber, she force pushes him away and uses the force to take his lightsaber but he holds onto it and they struggle for it until R3 shocks her and she throws him at Maxalex and gets her saber back. She then has sensory issues as she tries to balance out the force in her head until Maxalex throws R3 at her and she is knocked out.
Maxalex brings her home but Baku and her sister’s all gasp in fear and Shuko, grabs her sword but Maxalex stops them all and Baku tells her that she is a very dangerous woman and need to take her out now unitl Jaylharm wakes up and ask kindly for food and Maxalex obliges. As they talk but when Baku tells him to get away from her, Jaylharm doesn’t remember who she is at all and can’t ask Maxalex’s questions about the force. Maxalex and her eat and she can’t answer any of the questions but he introduces himself to her nonetheless and makes her laugh as he tells her about the planet. She then ask to go sleep and he lets her. R3 states that he doesn’t trust her but he disagrees.
Maxlaex goes to Baku and tells her that Jaylharm has the same powers that he has and is excited and ask if Jaylharm could help him hear the voices again but Baku tells him that she can’t and that the only he can hear them is if he believes but he scoffs and tells her that she said the same thing when he was 8 and first stopped hearing them and tells her that him believing people with swords once saved the galaxy isn’t going to work but she ask what’s gonna hurt about believing it and he responds by asking why should he and that if he does it won’t bring back his parents and all it has done is make him not feel good enough and that faith hasn’t done anything for him and he doesn’t have time to cry over them anymore and storms out.
Maxalex is woken up by R3 and he see’s Jaylharm gathering her things and when he ask whats going on, she takes out her lightsaber and forces pushes him away and hopes into his speeder but she crashes as she struggles to control it and is wounded. Baku and Maxalex see her and Baku tells him to look away as she takes out her sword to kill her but can’t and tells him to take her back home.
Jaylharm wakes up tied as Baku tends to her wounds and Baku states that the women who apparently destroyed Luke Skywalker isn’t a good rider. Jaylharm states that she did and will kill her too but Baku laughs and states she won’t as she doesn’t feel the same evil her father had and Jaylharm states that she is worse but Baku laughs again, and states that she feels the conflict in her. Maxalex interrupts this and calls her a liar and states that he is gonna cash in on her bounty but Baku states that if the New Order collects her, they will kill them as well and states that he gives them her things and let her escape but as Maxalex states that she will kill more but Baku states that she never killed anyone let alone the family of Luke Skywalker.
Han and Chewbacca return to the planet and is hugged by Eden. He informs them of Iswail’s escape to Tatooine and insist that Leia send troops over but she advises against it and Han is shocked by this and tells him that he has to have faith in the boy but he tells her that he doesn’t want to lose anybody else but she tells him it won't happen but he then tells her that they are chasing after someone who is evil and ruined their lives and why shouldn't they just take her out instead of saving her but Leia tells Han that he knows deep inside that Jaylharm did not do it and Han continues to state his point but she tells him that she thinks about that day all the time and wants revenge but she isn't the one deserving of it and when he ask how she knows she tells him he force tells her and Han responds with “I hate Jedis” as Leia gives him a kiss as he departs.
Han walks across the Plagues and Eden walks alongside him and she asks if she can have the Falcon now but he tells her that she isn’t ready for it but she lists her accolades, which includes winning multiple space fights, but he continues to insist against it and tells her that she is never focused in space battles and when she asked why he thinks that he points at X-Wing Captain Darwin Barrames and notes how in their last battle she saw him staring at him the whole time and that’s how she has wounded arm for crashing into something. He then tells her that she can’t mix business and pleasure but Eden responds that he meet Leia on the falcon and states that is known across the galaxy for his “pleasure” but states for her “To do as I say, not what I do”.
Maxlaex and R3 prepare to go to town and Jaylharm thanks him for not killing her but he tells her to shut up and he won’t fall for her act again but after a beat she states that she means it but Maxalex and R3 depart.
Maxlaex and R3 go the New Order’s post and see Judeern and stormtroopers all around and gives her Jaylharm’s robes and ask for his money but she examines them and ask how he got them and he tells her that he found her disintegrated and she then commissions stormtroopers to search the planet for disintegrating material but Maxlaex tells that unnecessary but a stormtrooper examines his speeder and finds footage of Maxalex and Jaylharm talking before his departure and him headsets Judeern and throws R3 into the air and sprays gasoline all over the place and Judeern runs and tells them to take off the gear and when a trooper ask why Maxalex throws a lighter and the post catches fire as him and R3 speeds away chased by stormtroopers.
Maxalex is chased throughout a shopping center by the stormtroopers and many people evade the area but as they shoot as Maxalex, the troopers begin killing innocents and Maxalex is horrified and he saves a child from death by putting him in the speeder and Maxlex tells R3 to get ready as he hops out of the speeder and uses the force to turn it around and has it crash the other troopers speeder, causing a big explosion. The kid is awe and tells him how awesome that was.
Maxlaex and R3 run and see troopers coming behind them and has run R3 home to save Baku and the rest and Maxalex lead the troopers his way.
Iswail talks into his recorder and talks about how he is walking in the footsteps of many before but in the middle of quoting what Ben Kenobi said about Mos Eisley, his recorder dies and he then tells himself he is gonna have to use his expert investigative skills to find the girl and the New Order and how hard it’s gonna be until he sees the explosion and takes that as a sign and runs towards it.
Maxalex and the boy being chased by troopers and they jump into a ditch Maxalex hurts his hand and can’t grip his gun but as the troopers get closer, he calms him down the boy and gives him the gun and tells him focus and to believe he can do it and as the troopers spot them, he helps the boy shoot the two troopers
Jaylharm worries about how long they are taking and she takes his gear and goes out to find them but Baku warns against it but she tells him that she isn’t gonna wait and be useless like they are but Baku tells her that she isn’t the warrior she thinks she is but that she is hurt and is gonna be as useless but Jaylharm points her saber at her and tells her that she can’t be with a powerful lightsaber but Baku scoffs and tells her that she tries to be somebody she isn’t so bad and Jaylharm walks out angered. As she walks up to leave she doesn’t notice the stormtroopers coming near and Maxalex signals to her to get down and she does and the stormtroopers look at her direction but they trip on a wire and they explode.
Iswail chokes a slave owner and demands answers, asking where the troopers and girl went until he sees the explosion and is then embarrassed and wipes him off and thanks him and runs to the explosion.
Jaylharm thanks Maxalex and he tells her that he has those traps set up for events like that and she tells him that if he didn’t save her all of his issues would be done as she’d be gone and Maxalex responds by telling that something told him not to until they see more troopers coming and they run to Baku’s home and tell her to get into the speeder with them but she tells them that her and her sisters would slow them down and they will stop the New Order but Maxlaex gets teary and denies but she tells him how strong he is and how much she loves him and that he is gonna find himself and stop running and she then tells Jaylharm that there is too much good in her to not let out and to protect Maxalex and she agrees as they depart.
Judeern and the New Order knock on her door and Judeern ask her if she knows where Jaylharm is and Baku denies but Judeern notes how two of her men just died on this property and that people don’t just kill stormtroopers and Baku then pretends she has bad memory and eventually tells her that she doesn’t know anything about Jaylharm but Judeern chokes her up and tells her that she is aware of history with the Republic and that she will spare her if she tells her but she spits in her face and her eyebrow burns off as Baku has acidic spit but Baku and her sisters shoot at the troopers and kill a few and Judeern is angered at the death of her troopers and tells them to wipe them all out.
Iswail heads back to his ship and tells the new recorder that he lost the spot of the explosion and says he needs to remind his parents that he needs glasses but he then sees Jaylharm and Maxalex riding on a speeder aims his blaster at her and tries to focus. Jaylharm gets worried as she and Maxalex see him and he tells her to get down and he begins going faster on the speeder and as Iswail gets focused he ask himself if the speeder got faster and is hit by the speeder.
Judeern kicks some of the disintegrated dust off of her boot and as the troopers burn down Baku’s home and Baku is dragged out, her sisters not. The stormtroopers tell her they have sights on the Jaylharm and tells them to go after them.
Isawail then uses the force to make it flip over. He gets up and walks towards them until R3 shocks him but as he looks up Jaylharm pounces on Iswail and begins punching him as Maxalex runs towards the ship but Iswail tells her how he refuses to fail and he flips her over and gets on top of her and he aims at Maxalex and says “ I never miss” but Maxalex hears the voice and it tells him to “move” and he does and Iswail whines about how he never misses and Maxalex knocks him out. As he sees a fleet of Stormtroopers about to close in on them led by Judeern he lifts up a wave and about to engulf them but Maxalex passes out. Jaylharm runs to Maxalex and looks at the fleet and takes out her lightsaber and prepares to fight them until Iswail picks up Maxalex and runs into the ship and Jaylharm follows suit and Iswail puts the ship in hyperdrive and they escape the planet.
After rescuing Maxalex and Jaylharm, Iswail is held by near death by Jaylharm and tells him to lead her to Leia so she can kill her but Iswail refuse until they are attacked by TIE Fighters and has Maxalex hold him hostage but gets enticed as Iswail tells him about the Republic and their current mission to find Luke Skywalker, which catches his attention greatly until the ship gets rocked and Iswail gets knocked out and Jaylharm struggles to fight off the TIE fighters but Maxalex takes charge and him and R3 take controls of the ship and in extraordinary fashion take down the TIE fighters. When Iswail wakes up he compliments Maxalex gift and abilities greatly but as Jaylharm comes in Iswail knocks her out by shooting her with the gun on stun. He calms down Maxlaex and tells him that to see the Republic and everyone and that she is too unhinged for it and that they don’t want to kill her and explains her past: as her father was the man who fought against The New Republic after the battle of Ewok and that Lord Hammur, her father's former master, corrupted him and Luke trained her and hide her past but when she found out of her heritage, she killed his wife and pupils and has been on a journey of revenge since but Leia wants to protect her from being corrupt by Hammur like her father since she still may be good. Iswail then guarantees Maxalex a position in the Republic which excites him greatly and he agrees on the condition Jaylharm isn’t hurt and Maxalex tends and heals her as they go along.
Officers argue for a minute but one is pushed in Ryu’s direction and informs him that they had Jaylharm in her sights, Ryu is calm tot he situation and calmy and ask if they at least has a tracking chip on but he informs him that they don't and he turns on his saber and ask what his purpose is to him in a very low and theatrening voice and turns to him but Judeern gets in the way and tells Ryu that they know many in the galaxy and if they turn up they will find them. Ryu then calmy walks away as Judeern stops the office from walking away and shoots him instead.
Iswail is shocked as the ship is caught in a gravitational pull and the Falcon is pulled into a luxurious, wealthy planet, Yanohdi, and Maxalex has R3 hide Jaylharm. Iswail and Maxalex are took forcefully from the ship and junkmen tell him that the ship belongs to Lord Hammur and takes the two for a hearing with him before their execution.
Iswail and Maxalex enter Hammur’s casino/lair, where they are disgusted by terrible looking creatures in fancy suits and wear and Lord Hammur laughs at the two and offers them a last chance before their murder but Iswail stress that the ship was not stolen and has belonged to Han Solo for many years but Hammur tells him that Solo sold it to his brother 10 years ago to pay off his debts but then killed his brother and his crew and has killed many to have this image of being a war hero but Siwal lashes out at this accusation and when the guards discover that Iswail is Han Solo’s son, Hammur offers him the opportunity to win the ship back in a game of poker.
As they play Iswail loses the first rounds but Maxalex takes the reigns from him and Maxalex is able to successfully win by using the office on his side and despite their victory, Hammur has the guards slam Maxalex on the table to take off the guards and cancels the deal and has the guards invade the ship. As the guards invade the ship, R3, despite many tries, shocks Jaylharm and she is woken and as she sees the guards she takes them down effortlessly and arrives and saves Maxaelx and Iswail from their executions. As the trio shoot off Hammaur’s guards, Jaylharm struggles greatly with her lightsaber and is shot at but Maxalex takes the shoot for her instead and Iswail shoots off the rest impressively as they get on the ship and knocks out a guard and takes a Blaster and fires it and it blows away most of the men and takes it with him onto the ship. They are all able to escape as R3 starts the ship in the nick of time.
As they get back on the ship, Jaylharm and Iswail are at weapon point and Jaylharm stress how she is gonna kill him and Leia instead but Iswail tells her how her plan won’t work, that her killing Leia won’t stop the New Order from obliterating her and that she doesn’t know how powerful she is and that she can easily fall into either side of the force and lose herself completely unless they help train her but she turns on her saber and tells her that she has been hated and hunted her whole life and wants to lose herself until Maxalex wakes up and forces them to compromise as he has a friend on a planet, Junabe, who can help people get to the outer rim and away from the conflict and they agree.
Han walks into a meeting and is greeted by C-3PO. General Rectar leads the meeting, stating the growing fear of their allies over the New Order’s base and generals from multiple planets speak on a screen, stating the rumors they have heard that it can destroy whole solar systems but Rectar tells them that it is not true at all and to continue as normal but Han doesn't believe him and states that they had been building something the whole war and that the Death Star could do the same and that the “Empire fan club” would do it but Rectar ends the meeting early and tells Han he can’t scare allies like that.
Han is walking but stops as he hears General Rectar muttering and as he enters the room and ask, Rectar lies about talking but gives in as Han ask harder. Rectar shows Han the plans of the Plagues and reveals that it can destroy solar systems and reveals that its the trigger is on the outside and that if they can get a few guys on the inside and destroy the generators, they can send a fleet of over 30 to blow it up. Han is horrified by this and Rectar states that the news could cause a full out war but thinks they can win it but before Rectar can turn, Han punches him and knocks him out and says to himself that his kids aren’t going to be in any wars.
Judeern hears of the gangs escape and increase productions of clones for the stormtroopers. She is then informed by a returning Leader Commander Vaswhi that they have just got crystals from a planet that will now make the Plagues s blasters more than just planetary destories but even stronger and she smiles as she tells him to get the lackeys to install them.
As they stop on a creator to fix the ship, Jaylharm heals Maxalex and ask him why he took the shot for her and he tells her that it just felt right. He then tells her how he’s felt the same way, feeling like wanting to be someone else and escape what he going through and that he just wants her to be happy and she smiles immensely from this and tells him that she hasn’t meant a pirate this nice and he tells her the sometimes good people are forced to do bad things and that he wants to forget and knows the republic will help with that but she jokes and says that he has to get healed before he can save anyone else but he laughs and tells her he will take a laser right now to save her. She then tells him that what he knows about her past isn’t true and that she just left to find herself and who she really doesn’t know how she feels towards Leia or Hammur but just wants to go to the outer rim and have all of this end.
Iswail is fixing the ship until he a stormtrooper has him raise his hands and hand over his oil but when the stormtrooper ask if he’s fixing the Millennium Falcon, Iswail kicks the trooper in the balls and runs onto the ship and Interrupts the two and tells them they have trouble and grabs a grenade and quickly throws it at the army of troopers outside and quickly starts up the ship as they escape.
Han goes to his ship to hide away the plans but Eden pops out and begins listing even more of her accolades but as she asks what he’s hiding, Darwin comes and informs Han of the landing of a ship nearby and tells him he will be their soon. Darwin greets Eden as he walks away and she blushes as she heads to the landing and Han successfully hides the plan.
Judeern has a very evil speech, stating the superiority of their ideology and view on the galaxy and states they will end this war today under their leader, the Jedi Killer and real slaughter of Luke Skywalker’s family, Ryu Kitur, shocking many across the galaxy. She then states that the republic will be the first victims of their new machine that will lead in a new era of the darkness for the galaxy and orders the Plagues to fire and the Plagues destroys an entire solar system of Republican-allied planets and she smiles at the “Fireworks”.
As they get closer to Junabe, Maxalex calls his friend Pork and the two chess end dough as they are on the intercom with each other and Pork accepts his request to gladly send off his friend until Pork begins screaming and it is cut off and as Maxalex joins the other two in looks of horror as multiple planets, including Junabe, is destroyed in front of them. After the destruction, Iswail comforts Maxalex and states that the Republic s gonna a need more fighters like him to destroy the New Order but Maxalex lashes out and tells him that he is gonna join this fight and that he is only gonna help Jaylharm get to the outer and when they get the planet he wants a ship back to Tatooine. Before Iswail can convince him otherwise, Maxalex storms off.
The three land on the planet and Iswail walks out the two and the many of the rebel forces have their guns aimed at Jaylahrm, with Maxalex beside with a gun ready, as she walks towards Leia, Leia calms down her troops and comments on how much she has grown but Jaylharm states that she wants to talk.
Leia and Jaylharm go to a room together and Han is cautious about the two getting a room together but Leia tells him to trust her and not worry. As they talk Jaylharm states her demands but Leia tells her that she's is too smart to actually think that will work and that Hammur’s power is too great and has too many forces to find her as he was born from the negative energy of the Outer Rim but she tells her that she doesn’t care but Leia tells her that she has always cared ever since she was under Luke. Leia then tells her that she knows that Jaylharm didn’t kill the students or Keri, Luke’s wife, and that it was Jacen and Jaylharm lets her guard down. Leia then ask her to help and to find Luke as he just needs hope, he needs hope to see that he didn’t fail all of his appertancies but she snaps and tells Leia he has and that he is the biggest failure in all of the galaxy and states that she doesn’t want any sides in this war but Leia tells her that the Republic isn’t a side, it isn’t an ideology but one of hope, and that if she or Han or alone dies, The Republic will live unlike the New Order that lives and days by Hammur and tells her that the Republic is hope but Jaylharm, silenced, tells her that she doesn’t want hope but just wants it all to end and tells her that she will depart tomorrow.
Iswail and the other members for the republic look at a blueprint of the new Plagues . Iswail argues that they need to attack the base head one and destroy it head on but Han tells him that they don’t have the men for that and suggest they clear the planet and go to Yavin and most disagree, Iswail being the loudest but Han explains that it won’t be worth the cost considering the state they are in and stress how the Partir Blasters they are developing are too important to lose. As Leia and others concede to his side, Iswail grows angry and calls Han a coward and that they don’t fit that they way but Han tells him that its not about fighting but about surviving but Iswail ask defines striving to him and that killing people for debt isn’t surviving and that he used to be a bold Hero who had honor and fought for things and not someone who ran away and let millions other others get killed but Han tells him that he is no hero and tells Iswail that he probably thinks of himself a hero for fighting but tells him that he has his jacket, his haircut and that he doesn’t even know what kind of hero he wants to be. Han then tells him that neither of them is heroes and the quicker he realizes that, the quicker he can save his family and angrily departs.
Iswail is followed by Eden who berates him after storming out, telling him that he doesn’t know how to lead and list examples of his failed missions but he then states how protected she is locked in her castle and states how she has never even fired a blaster with someone on you and yells that Han hasn’t had that in years which is why he wants to run away and hide as he starts climbing a ladder to fix his ship until he falls off it and refuses Eden’s help but the wing then falls but it is stopped by the force and they all look at the one who stopped, Maxalex, who then throws and him and Jaylharm walk away.
Judeern oversees the production of her clone troopers and explains their brilliance and sees fitting that their mother oversees them but Ryu states that he will personally kill Han and Leia and she laughs at his “male ego” and states that he doesn’t have the power to do so but he tries to stay calm as he tells her to shut up but she continues adding that her clones are accurate killers and that she can't promise that but he tells her that it wasn’t a question and that it was an order but she states that he is still a scared boy and that she is tired of misusing their resources to find Luke Skywalker and please himself but he then turns and raises his voice and states he will destroy her but she laughs and ask if he is scared that Hammur will discard him once he claims Jaylharm as his vessel instead of him and Ryu starts choking her but Vaswhi comes in and informs them they have found the rebels base planet and he lets her go as he leaves.
Maxalex and R3 look at locations for the outer rim Jaylharm prepares to sleep, he ask what she remembers of Luke’s trainingand she tells him that they used to train on this certain planet all the time and that it was magical but states she wants to forget it all and goes to sleep.
Shortly after hears a knock and prepares for conflict but are settled as it is Leia and allows her to sit. Leia notes how quiet he is and then after being rushed by Maxalex, she ask him if he has ever felt loss and when he tells her that he has she tells that even though he knows the way of the force, he is unlearned and untrianed and will lead her to more danger if they both leave and stresses how this can be his home, his fortress to learn but he tells her that he is tired of losing homes and she then states that he is headstrong and that it must be a Jedi a thing and goes on to explain what a Jedi is and that the universe needs them as the force is ever changing and they can tame it but he tells her to find someone else to carry that load. As Leia leaves, she tells him that the force will help him find his purpose and though it may not be in helping the Republic, it will be in helping someone.
Judeern continuously argues that Ryu doesn’t deploy down to the planet but he ignores her and deploys his men and himself down to the planet. Han alerts Darwin to get Leia and others off the planet and to escape ships and though Eden insists on fighting her sends her away as Han gathers troops to fight. Ryu and multiple stormtroopers land and begin destroying many of the bases and killing many. Ryu then grabs a rebel and ask where the Jaylharm is.
Iswail says goodbye to both Maxalex and Jaylharm and wishes them the best of luck and to keep hope alive. As Maxalex, Jaylharm and R3 are all on the ship, they all see TIE fighters and Stormtroopers being to land on the planet and Iswail tells them to leave as he gathers soldiers together and they all run to the conflict. Maxlaex unbuckles his eat and tells Jaylharm that he has to help but she advises against it but Maxalex that he feels the same force that told him to protect her is calling again but she tells him that he’s gonna get himself killed but he tells her that if it means saving people he cares about it’s worth and runs off the ship. As R3 cries as he runs off, she gives in and she and R3 get off the ship.
Han and his men are being killed and he retreats inside for more ammunition until he sees Eden about run out and grabs and as he berates her she tells him that they have the fight to win but Han quickly hides the both of them as Ryu walks in. He lurks around the room but can not find the two. Han and Eden make a run for the door but find out the coast was not clear as Ryu freezes Han. Eden shoots but Ryu stops her blasters in mid-air and he sends Captain Vaswhi and the troops after her. Ryu turns on his lightsaber and Han, accepting his impending death, tells him he won’t beg before he dies but Ryu can’t muster the strength to kill him and has troopers take Han away.
Eden is running towards the Falcon but the blasts get nearer and she takes some out however the Vaswhi plants his sniper and gets a shot at her leg causing her to fall, As troopers approach her, she takes out their swords and take out the both of them. Eden drags herself onto the Falcon but hides as The Vaswhi approaches. He speaks of the joy he is gonna receive from killing her and her soon joining her father until Vaswhi is blasted by the weapon Iswail acquired. Greatly damaging him and his gear and Eden smiles at the sight.
As Darwin and others are leading Leia to escape, they are stopped by the troopers. As they state to put their weapons on Stun, Darin throws his Jacket, which is anit-stun, onto Leia and they all shoot downt the troopers and gets her on board. Darwin, however, looks around the see’s the many TIE Fighters shooting down and rebels and before the ship starts, Leia tells him to go and he thanks her as he runs into his X-Wing and begins shooting down many TIE Fighters impressively.
Judeern overwatches the attack and looks at the detonator to destroy the planet and she opens and a general tells her that Ryu and the others are still on the planet but she tells them that she doesn’t care and that she wants to end this war in the greatest way possible but as she goes to press she is forced pushed away by Ryu despite his immense distance from the ship. As Ryu Kitur runs through rebels remorselessly and erradically, and begins scream after each kill but he stops as he sees Jaylharm and as she lights her saber he tells her to put it down and come with him but she denies and force pushes his stormtroopers and charges at him and fails to gain any advantage and hits her lightsaber from her hand until she concretes and forces pushes him away greatly and as she charges for a great push they collide as they both use their powers against and are in a stalemate. As she is about to win as he can’t hold her power, she is shot by Vaswhi and she is knocked out. As the Vaswhi carries her away, Maxalex shoots Ryu, which injures him greatly and they two make contact and share a look but before Maxalex can charge at him, Ken in his X-Wing shoots at Ryu and the blast blows Maxalex away. Ken shoots again but Ryu is able to stop the blot and throw it away and begins to crush Ken’s ship. Eden is able to scoop up Maxalex as she flies away and they look angered as Ryu is able to depart with Jaylharm.
Ryu looks at Jaylharm and tells her that she has took credit for his biggest achievement in destorying Luke Skywalker and that she will tell him everything she knows.
Maxalex insistently asks for Jaylharm as he wakes up on The Falcon and fights off Iswail as he holds him down but is informed by Eden what happened to her as Chewbacca holds him down. Maxalex asks what they are gonna do and Eden states they are saving her. Iswail insists that they can’t until Eden reveals the map of the Plagues Han had and tells the same plan to destroy it. Iswail then showcases the Blaster and reveals that it can destroy the generators if they get inside and Iswail insists that he’s going to save Han and Eden states that they have hope now.
Han wakes up and is sealed onto an interrogation stand and Ryu, contemplating to kill him as he looks at his saber, stops and begins listing facts about the Battle of Atistal, a battle that took place 20 years ago during the first galactic wars, and Ryu notes that Han, Luke, and Leia were gone for 2 years on this mission and abandoned him and his cousins to kill millions and states that they are not heroes and that his breed of heroes must die and that he is willing to spare Leia and their children but just needs Luke. Han doesn't respond and ask who he is but Ryu then begins using the force to pull answers out and Han screams in pain but Ryu has difficulty getting answers and tells Han that this could kill him and gets his knowledge about the Planetś weakness and degrades him for not telling anyone else but as he continues Han stands strong and doesn´t say and Ryu angrily gives up and as he leaves Han says ¨I am sorry, I don’t say it much but I am and I know I ain't no Jedi but it's not too late, I feel some of that good mumbo jumbo in ya’ and Ryu responds “I’ll have to change that” as he leaves.
Maxlex, R3, Iswail, and Chewbacca all get into the Plagues and navigate through without being detected. As they go through, Maxalex hears the voice, the voice he hadn’t heard since he was a child and follows the sound of it. Maxalex enters the room and opens a glass case and sees it is a lightsaber, as he touches it, he sees many things, ranging from a lava planet, a room with a crib, a woman slanted on the floor and R2-D2 in back and ending with Maxalex seeing Ryu gripping the saber. Maxalex let's go and the voice says “Take it my boy” but Maxalex throws it and ask the voice why it is now talking to him after years in heartbroken voice but the voice states “Because It’s time”.
As Ryu walks out Captain Judeern degrades him for interogatting Han first instead of Jaylharm and tells him Solo knows too much to kill and states that she will not allow his obsession to interfere with their plans but Ryu tells her that Han knows the plan to destroy the planet and to go kill him now and he will go interrogate Jaylharm. Before Maxalex can respond to the voice, he hides under the bed as he hears Ryu entering his quarters. Ryu breaks down in anger destroying everything in sight and takes off his mask, revealing a vulnerable, tormented boy. He then looks at his distorted Darth Vader mask and tells the mask his fear in killing Han and the power of the Jaylharm asks it for power and wisdom and he hears Vader's breathing in his head and takes his saber and quickly leaves.
Two stormtroopers go into the room to see Han knocked out and they one tells the other to put the blaster on to kill but Han, faking it and having broken the handles, punch the troopers and has the other lead him to Jaylharm¨s room. As he goes in and unbuckles her, she chokes Han but he calms her down and tells him that he is saving her and she doesn´t trust him but he tells her that he knows route for her to escape and that he's made enough mistakes and is starting now to fix them and she lets him go and ask for her saber but denies and he leads the way.
Maxalex runs out of the room and turns to see Chewbacca and Iswail. Iswail asks what happened but he tells him to not worry about it and they continue.
Eden sends out a dispatch for help and feels hopeless as many of there now gone allies don’t answer, until Leia answers and reveals they have relocated to Hopeinna and Eden informs her of the plan for the Plagues and Leia sends fleets to help her, Eden is ecstatic at the sight of the X-Wings entering onto the planet and states Darwin is going to lead them to victory but Leia states that he didn’t make it and Eden is the leader and to go save Han and the galaxy. Eden gets emotional and after a beat then tells her squadron to prepare.
Han, in stormtrooper gear, and Jaylharm are escaping and he tells her that he is gonna go and destroy the Plagues 's generators that will make their force fields flip on and off and that would be enough for ships to get to it¨s trigger that will destroy it all but they then see a mass number of stormtroopers and she asks for her saber but he denies again. When a stormtrooper ask Han why he has her, he tells them that he is taking her for execution but when a trooper reveals that¨s not the case gunfire starts as Han and Jaylharm hide as they shoot at them. She asks for her saber again but after Han takes out many but gets shot in his shoulder he hands it to her but tells her to not get hurt. Jaylharm breaths and her red lightsaber turns purple, signifying her balance of light and dark and she then obliterates the many stormtroopers but Officer Judeern then places a gun at her and states that she will enjoy the glory she gets for killing her until Han knocks her out and says “I am gentleman most of the time I swear” and the two then depart.
Han and Jaylharm continue and Jaylharm holds Han, as he wound begins to bleed, he sees Iswail and the rest on the deck below and smiles and tells Jaylharm to go to them and reveals that he will destroy the generator himself but she argues against it but Han tells her that he has to as it´s his job.
Han walks across the bridge to the control room and goes into the room and struggles to turn it off until he turns and see´s, Ryu, without his mask and his eyes red.
Maxalex and the rest are hiding behind a corner and Iswail points out the three secondary generators and they prepare to blast them until they hear someone coming near them but when they turn the corner to attack, Maxalex sees it’s Jaylharm and she kisses him and Iswail and Chewbacca smile and dumbstruck Maxalex says “Thanks”. Their happiness is broke as Iswail sees Ryu and Han and everyone looks at the scene above them.
Ryu tells Han that this is his last chance to tell him of Luke´s location but Ryu gets very emotional and his eyes turn to normal as he says ¨Help end my suffering¨ and Han’s hope grows until Ryu snaps back into the darkness and his eyes turn red again and Han, seeing that Jacen is lost, shoots the generator, destroying it and turns and looks at Iswail as Ryu swiftly stabs Han, killing him.
Iswail, enraged shoots the blaster at the room from afar and the blast sends Ryu flying. Maxlaex tries tackling Iswail but Chewbacca throws Maxalex and Iswail and Chewbacca shoot at many stormtroopers and Iswail waste all three of the blaster's blast, blasting the last one at a group of stormtroopers, ruining their plan. Iswail tries to go up to the room but Chewbacca stops him as the group escapes with Maxalex leading the way.
Eden and the rest of the X-Wings are puzzled as the force fields still aren’t down until a fleet of TIE fighters fly out and outnumber the X-Wings, destroying many of them. Eden is lost and looks in horror at the destruction until she sees the force field flicker for only 1 second and Xena, in her language, states that they can’t get through but Eden then puts the Flacon in hyperdrive but Xena warns that she can’t suddenly stop the ship in hyperdrive after a second or they could get lost in time but Eden responds “Don’t tell me the odds” and she is able to pull off the risk successfully.
Maxalex and the rest see a ladder that will finish their escape and the gang is going down the ladder and Maxalex acts cover but as Jaylharm is about to climb a mass amount of stormtroopers come and overwhelm Maxalex and Vaswhi, now slightly healed, offers Jaylharm one more chance or die and Jaylharm picks death and tries to climb down but as the Vaswhi shoots at her, Maxalex pushes Jaylharm down and takes the blast instead and takes out a grenade that denotes, blasting away Maxalex and the stormtroopers. As Jaylharm is caught by Chewbacca they see the explosion and she is horrified but see’s Maxalex’s body blasted away and she uses the force to stop the drop. They climb down and check on him and R3 checks on him and Iswail confirm that he is alive but hurt really bad and they head to the ship to escape.
They arrive at the ship but they are shocked as Ryu appears, though bleeding has a blood crazed smile on his face and demands for Jaylharm. Chewbacca shoots at Ryu but he stops the blast in the air and asks one more time but Iswail covers her and Ryu laughs and throws the blast at Chewbacca. Iswail then charges at him blasting but it’s futile as Ryu deflects all of them and dodges and punches Iswail and cuts his back and states he falls like his father and spits on him and before he can kill him, Jaylharm charges at him and the two fight and though she has strong strikes, Ryu is more skilled and evasive and then hits the saber out of her hand and takes it. Ryu then begins extracting information out of her with the force and struggles but then flips out as he discovers that memories she had from the planet are tainted and are replaced with Taootine instead of the real location and laughs hysterically but then anger washes him and he goes to attack her but he turns as he hears Maxalex’s insult towards him and is shook as he sees him with Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber.
Ryu states that he remembers him from shooting at him earlier and demands for the weapon and Maxalex dares him to take it and two engage in combat as Jaylharm takes Chewbacca and Iswail onto the ship.
Ryu and Maxlaex fight and Ryu has a clear advantage and Maxalex fights on the defense for most of it and Ryu gets a vital strike on Maxalex, wounding him. Ryu then states the joy he will feel from killing his friends but Ryu is mental uneven as he says this, going from a harsh voice to a light one but when he states that he will hurt Jaylharm the most, They fight again and a revived Maxalex gains an advantage and hears the voice say “focus” and gets a major strike on Ryu, causing him to fall. A befuddled Ryu ask who he is and Maxalex states “I am Ben Skywalker” and all color leaves Ryu’s face at this revelation. Ryu gets on the defense as the fight goes on, as Maxalex continues to hear the voice. Maxalex, with Ryu at his mercy, demands he let them go as he doesn’t want to kill him but Ryu sees Maxalex’s vigor leave from him and then tells him that he has no idea of his family and states that their father left them and states he is his brother and Maxalex nearly drops his saber at the shock. Ryu then gains offense again and slashes Maxalex’s chest and he falls against a tree.
Maxalex, now at Ryu’s mercy, begs him to let Jaylharm and the others live. Ryu has a soliloquy to himself where he states that he can finally fulfill his destiny and do what he couldn’t when Maxalex was an infant and kill him but as Ryu turns on his saber, He can’t. He then turns his attention to Jaylharm’s ship and begins using the force and as Jaylharm files, the ship begins coming undone inside. Ryu begins slowly crushing the ship until Maxalex, with his last bites of energy, cuts off Ryu’s arm. Ryu screams in pain and strikes to finish Maxalex until he is hit away and as Ryu looks, he sees the attack, Luke Skywalker and he disappears into thin air. Ryu is lost for words as the destroying planet separates them from a break in the ground.
Eden in Falcon races and takes out multiple TIE fighters as she gets into the range of the trigger. Captain Judeern loses her cool complete at the incompetent TIE fighters and her and a fleet of fighters to finish Eden. Eden begins taking out the new mass of fighters but as more come out, they begin damaging the ship greatly and as Judeern gets her in her sights to take out the ships, Darwin, in a clean sweep, destroys an array of TIE fighters and shoots Judeern’s, causing her to fly out of orbit. Eden smiles at Darwin and shoots, blowing up the Plagues and planet in turn.
Judeern, via a hologram, tells Hammur about their defeat and he demands she go save Ryu and bring him to train. Eden is departing until she begins hearing Maxalex’s voice and she quickly goes to his location and carries him onto the ship as they escape in time.
Eden carries a wounded Maxalex onto the ship, As he awakes she ask about Han and where he is but Maxalex shows the emotion on his face and doesn’t mutter a word. As they land on Hopeinna, Leia hugs Maxalex and she states that it’s miracle that she can hold him, as she thought she lost him forever, but Eden comes out with Han’s jacket and Eden and Leia embrace.
On Hopeinna a funeral is held for Han and everyone stands at a picture of the fallen hero. Maxalex tells Leia about what happeneded during the fight and she hugs him and tells him that he is a mircale and he must find out the way of the force from his father. Eden goes through the falcon and looks through all of the junk in it but as R3 lifts one of Han’s old jackets, he throws an object at her and she opens it and sees it is a hologram of planet locations. Eden runs back to the base and informs everyone of Luke Skywalker’s location.
Maxalex, C-3PO, R3 and Chewbacca all head onto the ship and depart for Maxalex’s training as they say goodbye to everyone.
