On the planet Lothal, it's night in the massive capital city. In a less ideal part of town, there is a large cantina, where people of various races are drinking, dancing, or playing sabacc. One game of sabacc is of particular interest, drawing a large crowd of people. There are five players. A neimoidian male, a young woman with bright green hair, a bald young man with tattoos on his face, a blonde haired young man with an eyepatch over his left eye, and a man in his early fifties, with greying hair, and a thick beard. The older man has a lit cigar hanging from his mouth, and is staring at the young man with the eyepatch. The young man puts his cards on the table, and says "Sabacc!"
He reaches for the pile of credits in the center of the table, when the older man says "Hold it, son. Looks like I have an idiot's array!" The man puts his cards on the table, and there are gasps from several bystanders.
"Kriffin' Dev Morgan!" The young woman says. The man with the eyepatch slams his fist on the table.
"Sorry, boy. You had a good hand, but an idiot's array beats everything. Better luck next time!" Dev Morgan says. The young man stands up, and reaches for the blaster holstered to his belt.
"Come on, Jesko. Let it go! That's Dev Morgan! The bounty hunter! He'll kill a man for looking at him wrong! Let's go, man." The tattooed young man says.
"I'd listen to your friend, son. I've killed people for doing far less that what you just pulled. Now, get the frack out of here!" Dev says, taking the cigar out of his mouth. The two young men leave the cantina.
A scantily clad young woman approaches Dev, and wraps her arms around him. She says " You sure showed them, Dev. Now, why don't you come to my room, and we can...celebrate your victory?"
"Sure. Why not?" Dev says, as he grabs the credits from the table, and gets out of his seat.
A few hours later, Dev exits the cantina, and starts walking toward several parked speeders, when he sees his path blocked by Jesko, and his tattooed friend. Jesko spots Dev, and says "Dev Morgan! We have unfinished business!"
"The hell we do! Now, kriff off!" Dev says, irritated.
"I don't think so, old man! You cheated! I want my credits back!" Jesko says.
"You're accusing me of cheating? You know who I am, don't you?" Dev asks.
"Yeah. You're an old has been bounty hunter, who's on his way out!" Jesko's friend says.
"You kids have to be a special kind of stupid! Or, maybe you just want me to kill you! Now, last warning, get the frack out of my way!" Dev says angrily.
"Give me my credits you old bastard, or I'll take 'em from your corpse!" Jesko says angrily.
"One." Dev says.
"One what? What are you doing?" Jesko asks.
"Two." Dev says.
"Two? Is he counting us?" Jesko's friend asks.
"Three!" Dev says, as he suddenly draws a blaster, and kills both men before they can react.
Dev walks away, and gets on his speeder. As he takes off, a bystander says "that'll show those punks! Nobody fracks with Dev Morgan!"
Several hours later, it's almost midday, as Dev approaches a large walled off area in a mountain range south of the capital city. He presses a button on his wrist comm, and a part of the wall slides to one side. Dev drives through the opening, and presses the button again. The wall closes, and he parks his speeder next to a small black ship, with triangular wings.
Dev gets off of his speeder, and approaches a small valley, where there are a few small metal buildings, and an old freighter parked in the center. Dev approaches the freighter, where thirty five year old Jacen Syndulla is standing, at the bottom of the loading ramp, dressed in a modified rebel pilot outfit.
"Jacen." Dev says, as he stops near the green haired younger man.
"Uncle Ezra! You've been gone for two days! Mom was about to send me after you!" Jacen says, a hint of irritation in his voice.
"Couldn't be helped. Had a job in town." Dev, or rather, Ezra says.
"Fair enough. She's worried though. You should probably go talk to her." Jacen says.
"Where is your mother anyway?" Ezra asks.
"In the Ghost. Probably watching us from the cockpit." Jacen says, pointing at the freighter.
"Sounds like Hera." Ezra says, as he heads up the boarding ramp of the Ghost.
