Star Wars: Escape from the Jedi Temple Begins

When the Empire discovered that the Moors were hiding in Janix, the lockdown was swiftly initiated.

Lieutenant Blake returned to the police station from the Star Destroyer and immediately ordered his soldiers: "Kress and Brand are concealing important Imperial criminals from being reported. Go and arrest them immediately for interrogation. If they resist, shoot them dead."

"Yes, sir." The soldier left.

If the Empire wants to completely control Janix, it must eliminate those highly respected local officials who refuse to cooperate with the Empire.

Klein and Brand had amassed considerable prestige among the people, yet they were unwilling to actively embrace the Empire.

Blake had long wanted to find a charge to remove this obstacle, and the pretext just happened to come to him.

He had already figured out how to deal with the two men.

If someone harbors a criminal, they should be convicted of treason.

......

Brand returned home, exhausted, carrying a cup of coffee.

The lights are on.

His son, Riley Lawson, was sitting in the living room, holding a baseball bat, looking preoccupied.

"Riley, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Brand placed the key in the dish by the door and walked to the table to sit down.

"I'm just worried about you. By the way, it's my match tomorrow, you..." Riley looked at his father expectantly, his meaning clear.

Brand met the gaze and paused slightly, his expression momentarily taken aback.

He focused all his energy on his work, neglecting his son's upbringing and companionship.

He often felt guilty about this.

Now that the Empire has taken over Janix City, perhaps I can relax a bit and spend more time with my son.

Thinking of this, Brand raised his hand and patted his son's shoulder: "I will definitely participate."

Immediately, the father and son were at peace, and a warm atmosphere filled the house.

next moment.

The knocking broke the rare atmosphere.

Brand immediately became alert: "Riri, go back to your room first."

"dad......"

"Go quickly." Brand pulled out his blaster.

Upon seeing this, Riley immediately and obediently hid in his room.

Brand switched off the light and demanded sharply, "Who's there?"

"Sheriff Brand, please come with us to the police station to cooperate with the investigation." A voice came from outside the door.

"Investigation?" Brand put away his blaster and opened the door.

"Please come with us and do not attempt to resist," the leading Imperial soldier warned.

"Alright." Brand frowned slightly, but did not resist.

The Imperial soldier took out a pair of electronic handcuffs and prepared to put them on his hands.

"Wait, what law did I break? Why are you putting this on me?" Brand took a step back, looking at them in astonishment.

Several Imperial soldiers immediately raised their guns: "Don't try to resist, you can't afford the consequences."

Hearing the noise at the door, Riley, who was hiding inside, couldn't help but rush out, asking, "Dad, what happened?"

An Imperial soldier immediately turned his gun on the target.

Upon seeing this, Brand quickly moved aside, using his body to block the gun barrel: "This is my son, don't shoot."

After saying that, he turned to look at his son, a calm expression on his face: "Don't worry, there must be some misunderstanding. I'll go back to the police station with them, and I'll be out soon after the investigation is cleared up."

At his urging, Riley returned to his room, filled with fear and worry.

Swish.

The door was closed.

When Brand saw his son leave, his feigned composure crumbled, knowing that if he resisted, he would definitely implicate Riley.

Thinking this, he clasped his hands together and said, "I'll go with you."

Click.

Electronic handcuffs were put on, and I was escorted onto the airship.

After his father was taken away, Riley immediately contacted Double Boots, who was at the police station.

After anxiously waiting for a few minutes, the familiar synthesized voice finally came through the communicator.

"Several Imperial soldiers just took Dad away, saying they're taking him to the police station for questioning. Double Boots, do you know what happened?"

Riley briefly recounted what had just happened, his words revealing helplessness and panic.

"I cannot disclose information about the investigation to the public, but you don't need to be alarmed at all; this is just standard operating procedure in this situation."

"The two boots, that's me. You've known me your whole life."

"This won't change the rules. If your father is released, I'll have him contact you."

"if?"

"I have to go back to work, Riley. Stay home and wait for further instructions. Don't go out."

beep.

The communication was suddenly cut off.

"Boots..."

Riley sat helplessly on the bed, thinking of ways to save his father.

next moment.

He thought of his mother, who was an officer in the Imperial Army.

Although his father and mother were divorced, he had always maintained contact with his mother.

He had originally planned to take some time to visit his mother.

"Mom will definitely have a way."

Riley skillfully left a message on the communication channel.

On the airship.

The cool night breeze brushed against Brand's face, and his exhausted brain raced: "Friend, what crime have I committed?"

He tried to extract some information from these soldiers.

But in the end, it was all in vain.

The imperial soldiers remained cold and indifferent, showing no intention of answering.

"What serious incident has occurred?"

Brand increasingly sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

"Did the Empire discover that surveillance video?"

"Even so, it doesn't warrant taking this kind of action."

......

When Lance emerged from the railcar station, he found the entire city completely under lockdown.

"Boss, in this situation, it's very risky to leave in the shuttle. We might be shot down as soon as we take off." The hunter looked at the patrol fighters flying overhead from time to time.

"Should we call for backup?" the Clearance King asked.

"Support?" Dai Wen was slightly surprised.

"We never fight unprepared battles; we anticipated this situation before we even arrived," the hunter said with pride.

Lance looked at the Star Destroyer hovering above the city and slowly shook his head: "The Eagle is our trump card; it's best not to reveal it unless there's a critical situation."

"So what do we do now?"

Lance pondered for a long time before coming up with a brilliant plan: "The Empire is looking for Moore, so why not give them a hand?"

He then began to explain.

The plan was quite simple: let Moore draw the Empire's attention, and they would take the opportunity to fly their ships away from Janix.

"Good idea." After pondering for a moment, Master Dutch then posed the difficult question: "How do we find Moore?"

......

Moore encountered the same problem.

They had two Mandalorian fighters, but they were clearly unable to penetrate the Empire's dense blockade.

"Chief, if we force our way through, we may be wiped out. Even if we manage to break through, the losses will be heavy," Castor reported to Moore.

These were people who had followed him since Mandalor's defeat, including two of his own kind. For various reasons, Moore did not want them to be sacrificed easily.

"It seems we need allies." Moore stared at the surveillance footage transmitted back by the spy robot.

"You mean cooperating with the Jedi?"

"This is the best approach; we all share a common enemy."

"I'll contact them right now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Castor turned to leave.

"Wait, now is not the time," Moore interjected.

He knew how stubborn the Jedi were; they wouldn't easily agree to cooperate before encountering a real enemy.

Therefore, he decided to wait until the three dangerous places were exposed and in danger before he could help them.

At the same time, it can leave a powerful and majestic image in the minds of the apprentices.

Moore was making his own plans.
