Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures

- -

Whoa!

- Whoo! -

Once we activate the beacon, we'll complete the training course.

What are we waiting for?

Nubs, grab my hand.

- -

- -Yeah!

-Go, team! -

-We did it! -Oh, yeah!

Master Zia's back.

And that other Vector must be her new Padawan.

Uh, Pada-what?

It's a Jedi who's a student to a Master. An apprentice.

Yeah, when we're old enough, we'll be Padawans too.

We'll get paired with a Master and train to become Jedi Knights.

I'm sure whoever got paired with Master Zia is amazing.

Come on then. Let's go meet 'em.

-Master Zia, is that your new Padawan? -

Yes, Kai. He's quite the pilot.

Hey there, hotshots. The name's Wes. Wes Vinik.

- - And that's my copilot, R0-M1.

But you can call her Romi.

As my new Padawan,

Wes will be assisting me here at the temple

and sometimes leading you on missions.

In fact, Master Zia has a mission for me today.

Who wants to come?

- Me, me! -

Well, okay then. What are your names?

I'm Kai Brightstar. And this is Lys, Nubs and our friend Nash.

- Hi. -

Whoa. That's, uh, quite a grip you got there, little fella.

I, uh, don't understand a word you're saying,

but I promise I'll learn.

Oh, he was asking if you've been on missions before.

Of course. I've been all over the galaxy.

This one time, I even flew through the moons of Iego

to help catch a band of thieves.

Talk about a rush.

If you three will be joining Wes today, you'll need these.

As you take on bigger challenges in your Jedi training,

you'll need new gear to better suit your missions.

- - Whoa.

-Nice. Looking sharp. -

We're headed to planet Deppani.

The people there build starships for explorers mapping the galaxy.

Their village and factory just got hit by a big storm.

I need you to go there and see how we can be of assistance.

Wes, remember to ask for help if you need it.

You and the younglings are a team on this.

Of course, Master.

But, um, first things first.

We can't all fit in my ship. So how are we gonna get there?

Oh, I've got that covered.

May I present the new and improved Crimson Firehawk !

- -Impressive.

Look at all those custom mods.

Thanks. Because we use the Firehawk for all kinds of missions,

RJ, my mom and I decided it needed a few upgrades.

New engines, rotating wings for quicker steering

and even a new paint job.

There's more, but we need to get going.

Everyone, inside.

There's the village and starship factory.

But what's that?

- -That ship does not look friendly.

Nash, can you take us down? We need to investigate.

Right. I'll find a place to land,

and you Jedi can go check it out while we stay with the Firehawk .

Speeds, Toda-Joh!

What's taking so long? We've got to steal these ships.

Breaking into fancy vehicles like this ain't easy, boss.

They're locked up tight-tight.

The Ganguls?

Gangul.

I'm sorry. New here. Who are the Ganguls?

They're pirates.

We've faced them before,

but we've never seen them this far out in the sector.

I wonder if that giant ship belongs to them.

- Psst. Psst! -

It's the villagers.

Are you all okay?

First, the storm hit us,

and then while we started cleaning up, those pirates arrived.

We weren't ready for 'em.

Please don't let them take our starships. Each one is extremely valuable.

Selling them is how our village makes a living.

Without them, we have nothing.

I can handle a few pirates.

Stay hidden. Don't come out till they're gone.

I think it's about time I met these, uh, Ganguls.

- Stealing starships? -Huh?

That's not very nice.

-Uh, who that? -

The name's Wes Vinik. Jedi Padawan.

Jedi? Ha!

He's with us.

You Jedi kids again?

Sellaccc, those starships don't belong to you.

When will you little ones ever learn?

We're pirates. We take what we want.

Say, for instance, our new flagship, the Rathtar's Revenge .

So that is yours. How'd you...

We stole it from some friends recently.

Not friends anymore. We're bad.

The Ganguls are going to be the greatest pirates in the sector.

So we needed a flagship.

And now we need a new fleet,

which is why we're taking these ships.

Cool your circuits, NX-88.

Keep the Rathtar's engines running, and wait for my signal.

We've got a new pilot friend.

Now, you know we have to stop you, right?

Ha! You can try.

-Huh? -

-Missed me! -Huh?

- -Oh, close.

Whoa!

- -Uh-oh.

Nice staff. Beskar, huh?

Yep. No lightsaber can cut through it.

Wes! Need help?

I'm okay, hotshot.

I can handle this thieving pirate.

Speeds, hit this pompous Padawan with the net.

We don't have time to waste.

NX-88, fire the claws now!

-Look out. -

88, the second claw missed, you rust bucket.

You two, get that second claw out of the ground

and attach it to the other ship.

Come on. Let's find something to dig that claw out with.

They're taking the ship.

This is my fault. I should've asked for help.

Somehow, we gotta get that ship back

and stop those two from stealing the other one.

Hmm.

I've got an idea.

Wes and Kai, you go get that ship back from Sellaccc.

Nubs and I will distract Speeds and Toda-Joh.

- - Hey, there.

Meanwhile, Nash will help R0-M1 and RJ cut the cables

so they can't use the claw again.

Hold on to her while she reaches, RJ.

Hello again.

You Jedi really don't know when to quit, do ya?

Nope.

Okay, Kai. Get that claw off the ship, and then we'll fly it out.

I'll keep that one busy.

-Got it. -

Uh...

Nash, how are you doing with the other claw?

RJ and R0-M1 are on it.

Lys, Nubs, how's it going down there?

We're trying to distract them, but it's not going so well.

Hurry up, Toda-Joh.

Almost got it.

Huh?

Come on, team.

Don't know how long Nubs and I can keep this up.

Yes!

Where's that smile of yours now?

Uh, Kai, I could use some help right about now.

Thought you'd never ask.

Thanks for the help, Kai.

Allow me to return the favor.
