A chance meeting though preordained, a mentorship-turned-friendship turned something more before it went sour - an exploration of Malak and the Jedi Exile's relationship pre-Malachor.

After years in exile, ex-Jedi General Eden Valen continues to clean up after Revan and Malak's mess of a war, only to find herself forever cursed with their unfinished business. As an ill-fated lead brings her to Tatooine, Eden finds that Revan's mysterious plans go beyond the Republic, beyond the Outer Rim, and into the utter unknown.

The party happens upon an inn, keen on having a warm meal and a good night's rest before hitting the road again, until the Warden spots a few men she finds uncomfortably familiar in the inn's tavern.

Mira has always been restless, so joining the Ebon Hawk crew and feeling like an outsider is anything but new. But the girl on board - the white-haired one, quiet, with the angry eyes - certainly is.

Finn and Rey share a moment alone after celebrating with the Resistance on Ajan Kloss. Spoiler Warning: Post-Rise of Skywalker.

Atton finds himself eagerly awaiting the Exile's updates while stranded on Dxun, though he'd rather die than have her know that. He's content to answer when she calls, playfully offering a game of Pazaak each time. That is, until he thinks she may be in trouble.

Atton catches up to the Exile before walking into a trap, only he isn't exactly there to stop her.

"Wouldn't expect a Jedi to want to gamble. Former or otherwise," Atton quipped, gesturing the canteen to her as if in cheers, "Looks like we're both full of surprises."

But she craved him, here, like they had been once, before Takodana, before Starkiller Base, before… all this. She ached for the kindness in his eyes, his gentle hand - the one thing she found she truly missed in her time away.

Finn can't sleep, and neither can Rey, so they decide to throw caution to the wind and go on a little impromptu adventure. Post-TLJ.

Luke has always been likened to his father, even before he knew who he really was. But Luke doesn't think they are quite worthy of comparison, and instead feels as if something is missing.

Dantooine leaves Atton feeling unnerved as it is, and he doesn't need any more unwelcome feelings to make matters worse. But the Exile disappears one night, following a feeling, and Atton regrets his decision to find her, ultimately discovering that the Force has something in store for him, too.

Atton volunteers to head the expedition into the Temple of Freedon Nadd on Dxun and gets more than he bargains for, coming head-to-head with a dark energy he hasn't seen since he was known as Jaq and bearing witness to a duel of fates that took place almost a decade earlier.

Atton awakes from a preliminary showdown with Darth Sion to find an all-too-understanding ex-Jedi watching over what remains of his sorry excuse for a rescue.

After her meeting with Kavar goes awry, Eden returns to the land-locked Ebon Hawk itching to fix something to get her mind off of things, only to find a pilot-shaped distraction instead.

Bodhi never had a home, but there was something about the look in the scientist's eyes that told him the man had one, once, and that he missed it terribly.

The transition from identifying as FN-2187 to Finn means more than just changing his name; it is also about how he defines himself and what he stands for on his own terms.

Leia Organa knows that her lineage holds some importance in the galaxy, but does not yet know how or why, and is overcome with feelings she cannot explain when she discovers the truth about her heritage and what she has inherited.
