Yes!
You're going down like a wampa in a heat wave, Zander!
Hey! Kordi, what are you doing?
Looking for loose credits.
- You see our last profit statement? - No.
That's 'cause we don't have one.
Business is poor, and so are we.
And don't forget, the rent is due any day now.
Wha... How did you know we were talking about money?
Oh, I got a sense for these things.
Call it a gift.
Ow!
Relax. I'm sure something will come in.
Yeah?
See? I was due.
Welcome to Freemaker Salvage and Repair.
- I'm Kordi Freemaker... -I do not care for pleasantries.
I am Ignacio Wortan of the Core World Wortans.
I have recently acquired a top-of-the-line...
Oh! Aavman Luxury 2800 space yacht.
Dual sublight ion jet pods, bantha leather upholstered seats and premium everything.
Indeed, everything is premium save for the dashboard,
which is unacceptably plain.
I want to replace it with one made from genuine Wookiee-carved Wroshyr wood.
Which is why I came to you.
You heard custom jobs are our specialty?
No. Because every other shop turned me down.
You see, Wroshyr wood is only found on Kashyyyk.
And Kashyyyk is under a massive Imperial blockade.
Which isn't a problem at all!
Going to Kashyyyk? How are we gonna pull that off?
Even if we got through the blockade... Which we will.
Even if, Wookiees don't exactly welcome outsiders.
Tell me about it. I lost a lot of good friends on Kashyyyk.
And arms. Wookiees love to rip off arms.
Look, everybody knows the best way to endear yourself to a Wookiee
is to speak Wookiee.
Right.
That was Wookiee for "I speak Wookiee."
What? I learned it from that Wookiee spacer last cycle.
Rowan, he was here for a day. I know!
- That's how fast I learn! - Hmm.
What time does Rent-a-Droid open?
Ah, a translator, huh?
Well, what you need is a RA-7 protocol droid.
Fluent in six million languages.
Oh, this baby'll talk the ears off a gundark.
That means "Save your credits. I speak Wookiee!"
Actually, you just said, "Shave your tummy. I'll eat a cookie."
Hmm. We'll take it. How much?
30,000.
Ah, what are you gonna do? Get a free translation program from the HoloNet?
Hmm.
Separation complete. Let's get to work.
- What do you mean, you can't train today? - We're going to Kashyyyk.
But, Rowan, the hunt for the Kyber Saber crystals has galactic implications.
I know, Naare. But I'm the only one on the crew who speaks Wookiee.
Not for long.
I have a bad feeling about this.
It'll be free... I mean, fine.
Once I get this translator program installed,
you'll be talking like a Kashyyyk native.
You say that like I want that.
Trust me, this is a brilliant plan.
I mean, look, we've even got a brilliant disguise to get past the blockade.
I give you an Imperial shuttle.
I have a bad feeling about this.
No, you don't!
Lieutenant Commander Durpin, I have a status report.
Nothing is happening. Anywhere. At all.
Which is just how I like it, Lieutenant Plumestriker.
If nothing happens, then nothing can go wrong.
But... how will we ever get promoted?
Promoted? First rule of Imperial officer survival...
Do nothing.
Why do you think I let the Trandoshans run our prison down there on Kashyyyk?
They take all the risks, and I get to keep my head and neck down.
Sir, a shuttle is entering the sector from hyperspace.
Ow! My neck.
We'll be smack dab in the middle of that Imperial blockade any minute now.
- This is so gonna work. -Kordi, just what makes you think that?
Iggy Wortan's case o' credits, that's what.
Well, let's find out. Coming out of hyperspace... now.
Uh-oh.
That's no shuttle. Someone's trying to sneak through our blockade!
Launch TIE fighters! I don't want my nothing to become a something.
If we turn around right now, I can get us out of here. Case o' credits!
Pull up! Pull up!
Aaah!
Nice flying, Sis.
I can do anything... when a case of credits is on the line.
The TIE fighters lost them. We'll have to go down to the surface.
I'll order a stormtrooper away team.
Stormtroopers? Ah. No, the less people know about this, the better.
Nobody saw nothin'!
We shall find these whoever-they-ares ourselves.
Ah, I love it when you lead, sir.
I'm not leading!
What a beautiful planet.
We're gonna die! Wow!
Roger! Get over there and translate.
Can I say, perhaps for the last time ever, that this is a bad idea?
Puh-lease! You're a people person.
They're Wookiees, not people, and I'm a droid, not a person.
Point is they're going to love you.
Everyone does.
True. Okay. I'll try.
Atta-droid!
I hate to be the droid who says I told you so.
At least it wasn't your arms, right?
No... sudden... movements.
- Wookiees can smell fear. - Yep. That's fear.
Run, Rowan!
Rowan, no! Hang on.
Well, snap my bricks. I think he might actually be pulling this off.
Well, yes, but he's not...
Shh, shh, shh. Let him negotiate.
He's giving us the wood for free! Yes!
Free is my favorite price!
One paw-carved, soon-to-be-dashboard piece of Wroshyr wood.
Now let's blow this planet before the Empire tracks us down.
Uh, guys? I don't think that wood was free.
See?
When you accepted the wood, you agreed to free
Chief Attiburra's child, Tantarra.
What? Um, I got the "free" part right?
The Trandoshans took the kid months ago.
As long as they hold the pup, the Wookiees don't dare fight back.
So... we're gonna have to break into the heavily guarded island prison
and rescue her?
Okay. That you understood?
We're sorry. This is a big misunderstanding.
How 'bout we give you the wood back, and deal's off?
In Wookiee culture, you break a deal, they break you.
So you better save his kid.
An actual mission to rescue an actual princess
like an actual Jedi?
Yes! Princess rescue!
Kordi, why didn't you leave the wood with Roger on the StarScavenger?
Because that's too much pressure on poor Roger.
He's had a hard day, what with all the "head getting ripped off" stuff.
Plus, you're not letting anybody touch that wood till we get paid.
Nope. I am not.
Any ideas how to get over those walls?
With that catapult.
What catapult? I don't see a catapult.
You aren't seeing the right way.
Um, Zander, maybe we should test this thing...
Oh. Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine.
I was talking to the wood.
What are you doing?
Delivering a replacement panel for the main cell block controls.
Kind of garish, I know, but we just do what the boss tells us.
Come on.
You expect me to believe that?
Okay, you got us.
Actually, it's a prison break.
People break into detention centers all the time to free a captive
with nothing but a hunk of fine, handcrafted wood.
'Cause that makes sense!
Hmm.
Ah. Main cell block is up the stairs to the right.
Thank you.
You just intimidated a Trandoshan prison guard.
I'm in awe.
I... feel something.
Something like hurrying up?
Come on. Princess rescue! Remember?
Cell number 1138.
Here!
- Greetings, Princess Tantarra.
No! Princess, we're here...
to help you.
- Princess! - Oh, I see what happened.
"Prince."
"Princess."
What? Not my fault they sound so much alike.
This is Prince Tantarra.
Oh, great.
Any other words you wanna mistranslate?
Trandoshans.
I know all about them. They respect and fear us.
You two! Over here!
I need to speak to you. Yes?
How are you?
Uh, Plumestriker here has some questions.
Have you seen anything unusual?
Not that my blockade got run or anything.
You know, all is fine. It's fine.
No. Leave us.
Excuse me! How dare you speak to me that way!
I am your commander.
But if now is not a good time, I can come back.
Are you sure you haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary?
Rebels? Bounty hunters?
Uh, perhaps some droids?
Nothing. Just that delivery of wood panel you requested for the main cell block.
But I didn't request any panel. Was it nice?
Sir! I bet that ship's crew is using the cover of wood delivery
to infiltrate the main cell block.
This nothing is suddenly becoming a something.
Sound the alarm!
I said, sound the alarm!
Or I can do it myself.
I hate to be a bother. Where is the alarm button?
Stairs.
Oh, so many... stairs.
I got a second wind!
There's Roger, right on time!
Fire the flare!
It signals your father that you're safe, so he can begin the attack on the prison.
I don't like that look.
A Kyber Saber crystal.
That's what I've been feeling!
There's one here, and I have to find it.
No way. We promised to get Tantarra out of here.
And the Wookiees are about to bomb this place into oblivion!
Not to mention the entire prison is looking for us.
Don't move!
See?
Guys, there's a Kyber Saber crysit.
Bigger problems, Rowan. I got this.
Delivery! Can you tell us where the main cell block...
The Wookiee raid has started.
Rowan, this place is about to be blown into a pile of bricks.
- Where are you going? - To find the crystal!
You know, for the good of the galaxy?
No, Tantarra! Not you too!
Ugh, this has gone from perfect to poodoo really fast.
We gotta go after them.
Roger! Rendezvous in the woods.
It's too dangerous for you up here.
Yes, it is!
There!
I need to focus.
Remember my training. Breathe.
Hands up, scaleless scum.
Did you see that? I took out the big one.
No, you didn't. That was me.
The crystal! Come on! I'm just saying, I've got a serious arm.
Oh, keep deluding yourself.
There's just something about looking out a window.
So, we're not joining the fray, sir?
No! We stay out and up... Out of the battle and up here.
Sir! Look! The intruders!
No! I lost them in the smoke.
Ah, gee. Well, keep looking.
I will, sir. I will.
It's close. I know it.
Hurry, before something happens to the wood!
Or us!
It's somewhere in there.
Found it.
Whoa. Um, anybody got a ladder?
There they are! Blast 'em!
Cover me... while I get the crystal!
Cover you? With what?
- I could use some help here! - I got my own problems!
Won't... come... loose.
Yaah! Ugh.
Yes! Thanks, Tantarra!
No. No, no. No, no, no, no, no!
Rowan! Rowan!
That's Wookiee for "I got it!"
Great! Fabulous! Let's get out of here.
- He says, "Thank you." - You sure this time...
Pretty sure.
We have given the Wookiees hope.
Our pleasure.
And while we're handing out thanks,
thank you for looking after our little brother.
He says we've honored our agreement and this isn't our battle.
Or maybe he said something about, "This isn't our cattle."
Either way, we should go.
Whoa!
Oh, thank the maker you're safe.
Hold it right there!
I hate this place so, so much.
It's like you always say, sir... "Find the ship, find the crew."
I said that? Really? I like that. It's good.
You two have caused me a lot of trouble.
Wait. Two? W... Weren't there more? So what should I do?
Well, I could arrest you.
Or maybe I should blast you.
Or maybe I should arrest you and then blast you.
Hmm. You know what I wood do, Zander?
Could've sworn there were three.
What, Rowan? What wood you do?
Wood you tell me? Uh...
-Wood you please?
That. You did it, Kordi.
Yes, I did.
Maybe we can go back and get another piece of...
- Never mind. - Warmer. Warmer. Good!
Aaah!
Seriously? Uh! Uh!
Well?
As promised...
One genuine Wroshyr wood panel.
No returns. Now give me that case o' credits!
This is a bitter disappointment, and I shan't pay for it.
Oh!
All that for nothing?
It wasn't for nothing. We gave the Wookiees hope, remember?
Hope doesn't put blue milk on the table, or...
Pay the rent!
Yeah, that.
We had an amazing adventure and I found a Kyber Saber crystal!
- Did you? - Yep! Here you go, Naare.
Straight from Kashyyyk. Kashyyyk?
The Trandoshans must have brought it from their home world.
Excellent, Rowan.
Your powers are growing at a most impressive rate.
See? Everyone's happy.
Uh, almost everyone.
It doesn't matter. I've learned my lesson.
Next time, spring for the translation droid?
Yes!
So while there are many fingers to point,
I'd like to reiterate that none should be pointed at me.
You have failed us for the last time,
Lieutenant Commander Durpin.
Because you had to rely on those incompetent Trandoshans to get the job done.
No wonder you failed.
You need more men. And more ships.
That's how you prevent failure.
And with all that responsibility comes...
a promotion.
- Oh, no. -Congratulations, General Durpin.
I'll be keeping my eye on you.
This is great! Isn't it great?
You're finally getting the attention you so richly deserve.
Sir?
Can you hear me over all that head banging?
