Plot summary
Jedi Padawan Sav Malagán is undercover with the criminal group Dank Graks on the moon Jedha, hoping to save her idol Maz Kanata from Maz’s rival, Grand Grak Arkik Von. She runs through the streets with Grak member Saya Keem, causing as much mayhem as possible in the midst of the Battle of Jedha. Realizing that time is running out, Sav threatens to leave Jedha without Saya unless she tells her where Maz is being kept. Saya points to an Eirami military command ship in the middle of the air battle between the armies of Eiram and E’ronoh, and the two fight through the skirmish on Sav’s stolen Spiral-class ViZ-Core Eviscerator, taking out ships on both sides.
Meanwhile, the rest of Maz’s crew, also on Jehda in pursuit of their leader, encounter a group from the Path of the Open Hand. When Path Little Tromak offers Therm Scissorpunch a flower as a “gift freely given”, he accidentally snips it with his claw, causing the child to cry and triggering the rage of Path Elder Barbatash. Elsewhere, pirate hunter Raf Thatchburn, to whom Sav has given her lightsaber, contemplates the trust she has placed in him before being interrupted by a Trandoshan, whose brother was killed by another pirate hunter. The Trandoshan attacks him in revenge for his brother, and Raf is saved by Quiet Shan, a pirate in Maz’s crew who slipped away while her comrades took on Barbatash. Although she is a pirate and Raf is a pirate hunter, Shan chose to save Raf on behalf of her mentor Alak, Raf’s ex-lover who still harbors feelings for him. Shan rejoins her friends, who have just defeated Barbatash, and the crew flees the arrival of Jedi Master Silandra Sho, who uses her shield to subdue the riots.
Sav and Saya finally arrive on the Eirami ship for Sav to realize that Maz is not on board. Saya, who has caught on to the fact that Sav is not who she says she is, asks her why she would go to so much trouble for Maz, as she and her own leader, Von, do not share the same bond. Saya catches Sav off-guard by taking her hands and asking her to run away with her so that the two can be legendary pirates together. Sav declines, and Saya shrugs it off, revealing that she only meant to stall her until Arkik Von and the rest of the Dank Graks could reach Takodana with Maz as a hostage and claim the planet for themselves.
