Star Wars: Escape from the Jedi Temple Begins

Moore's gaze fell on the load-bearing rope on another bridge, and he raised his hand to grab it forcefully.

The load-bearing rope broke.

The bridge split in half.

Several pedestrians screamed as they hung from the broken section.

"Go and help the civilians first." Brand gritted his teeth as he watched the criminals disappear into the distance.

"Let's do it together." Master Dutch and Dewynn quickly used the Force to support the broken bridge and the pedestrians who were about to fall.

Using his boots, he raised the garbage truck and took the people into the cargo container.

After everyone was safe, Dutch and Dai Wen weakly lowered their hands.

"Get out of here quickly." The two mingled in the crowd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Everything they did was seen by Lance.

"Is this why the Force brought us here?"

Lance was quite surprised; he hadn't expected there to be two surviving Jedi on this planet.

"Hunter, the plan has changed. Let's leave Moore for now."

......

In a dimly lit alley.

"I never expected to meet you here, Master Dutch and Dai Wen."

"This isn't the place to talk. Follow me." A hint of joy flashed in Master Dutch's eyes. He looked around warily and led the group into the sewers.

"Have you been staying here all this time?" Lance took off his helmet, and a pungent smell immediately filled his nostrils.

"It's just a temporary, minor problem."

Master Dutch took out a cup and poured water for Lance and the others: "The conditions are limited, I hope you won't mind."

"How could that be?" Lance took the water glass, took a sip, and said with emotion, "When I arrived on this planet, I vaguely sensed a voice calling to me from within the Force, and now I understand what it means."

"The Force is incredibly mysterious; our understanding of it is merely the tip of the iceberg." Master Dutch sat cross-legged, curiously examining the equipment on the group. "You... are you a bounty hunter now? Are they your companions?"

"It's just a necessary disguise. We've received information that Moore is on Janix."

Lance told the two about the suppression chip before letting the hunter and the Clearing King remove their helmets: "We met on Salukamai and have been wandering the galaxy together ever since. Later, we found our master on Katonemoydia and joined the Rebel Alliance..."

He briefly recounted his experiences after escaping the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.

Master Dutch's face showed a hint of relief: "It's really good news to hear that those old friends are still alive. At least... we're not fighting alone."

Only those who have personally experienced Order No. 66 can truly understand the despair it entailed.

At that moment, he and his apprentice Devon were fighting a bloody battle against the robot army on the front lines when the clone soldiers behind them suddenly turned their guns on them and fired.

The two barely escaped with their lives, eventually ending up stranded on this planet.

"Master Dutch, how about we send you away from here first?" Lance asked the two.

He hadn't expected Moore to be so reckless, openly attacking the police station; he feared it would soon attract the Imperial army.

The Empire will inevitably blockade the entire planet, and they will be affected as well.

"Your purpose in coming here is Moore?" Master Dutch did not answer his question directly.

"That's right."

Dutch put down his water glass and pondered for a moment: "You should send Dai Wen away first. The Moores are numerous and powerful, and they are all elites. There are only three of you, so I'm afraid you won't have enough manpower. This old body of mine is still of some use, and I can stay and help out."

"Master..." How could Dai Wen bear to leave her master behind?

Just as the two were arguing, Lance was startled and suddenly looked up at the sky.

At the same time, Master Dutch also sensed something, and a look of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

A Star Destroyer suddenly appeared in the Janix star system, broke through the atmosphere, and flew towards the ground.

next moment.

The piercing air raid siren sounded.

The star destroyer hovered above the city, its massive shadow seemingly engulfing the entire city.

Dozens of fighter jets and troop transports flew out of the huge hatch on the belly of the Star Destroyer like a swarm of bees.

"How could the empire have arrived so quickly?"

......

The same question arose in the minds of Moore and Brand.

Commander Luke Castle looked at the footage transmitted back by the spy robot: "Chief, what should we do next?"

Moore was completely baffled; according to his original plan, the empire couldn't have come so quickly.

At this moment, all his plans were disrupted, and he had to think about what to do next.

To clash head-on with the empire would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.

Moore acted recklessly, yet he understood this principle.

Should we leave before the Empire completely seals off the planet?

The thought flashed through his mind.

He then rejected it.

Thinking back to the disciples he had chosen, he felt truly unwilling to leave like this.

He had already missed out on the gifted Ahsoka, and he didn't want to miss out on another Jedi apprentice.

These Jedi, trained in the top system, far surpassed their deceased brother in both talent and potential.

Immediately, an even bolder and more outrageous plan emerged.

Empires are indeed terrifying, but they are also a touchstone.

He wanted to use the empire as a touchstone to test the quality of that prospective disciple.

Only those who pass the test are qualified to become his disciple.

With that in mind, Moore looked at the dimly lit temporary base and ordered, "Proceed according to the original plan."

"......But."

"I have found the right tool, a weapon that can help us eliminate all the traitors, and even... defeat Darth Sidious."

To appease his capable assistant, Moore patiently explained.

"Sidius..."

Upon hearing the name, Luke Castle's eyes filled with extreme hatred: "Understood, Chief."

......

At the police station.

Brand frowned and looked suspiciously at the pair of boots beside him.

They had just returned to the police station, their boots still in his sight, so there shouldn't have been a chance to notify the Empire.

Besides... even if the two boots try to get around him, Chief of Staff Klein will stop them.

"Sheriff Brand, Chief of Staff Kress wants to see you in his office." A guard robot handed him a cup of hot coffee.

Thanks.

Brand sighed and walked into the Chief of Staff's office with his coffee.

"The Empire is here. This won't end well." Klein looked worriedly out the window at the Star Destroyer and the troop transport ship flying towards the police station.

"I don't know why either; it shouldn't be that Shuangxue overstepped his authority to report it."

"I know, that's why I'm even more worried."

The office fell silent.

After a long silence, Chief of Staff Klein's voice rang out, as if he were comforting himself: "It's not too bad, at least we're not harboring Jedi."

......

Inside the Star Destroyer, Lieutenant Blake received the highest order from the Empire.

The Empire lost a staggering amount of loot on Serenno, and is therefore paying close attention to any robberies.

Their intelligence network learned of a major robbery on Janix, with the robbers employing extremely professional methods.

After high-level analysis, the Empire immediately dispatched a nearby Star Destroyer to investigate.

In addition, the Empire has always wanted to reclaim the autonomy of Janix.

This gave them a perfect excuse to interfere in Janix's internal affairs.
