The rescue

While Korgan was distracted, Kenobi used the Force to open Jinn's cage. Jinn then grabbed his lightsaber, which was with Kenobi, and joined forces with him. Korgan was still unintimidated, saying that the Trandoshan outnumbered the two Jedi, but suddenly Wookiee calls roared throughout the forest as armed Wookiees appeared leaded by Brennonn.^[1]
