The first clip showed Hera and the bigger of her two Add-A-Two hits.

The next clip featured Chewbacca hitting Double Your Credits and a spin.

The final clip had Jabba laughing at a whammy.

[Today, these three players are after big creds! But, they'll have to avoid the whammy as they play the most exciting game of their lives.]

One whammy played a synthesizer as the other one prepared to sing.

[From Holovision City on Coruscant, it's time to press... your... galactic luck! And now, here's your host, the star of Press Your Galactic Luck, David Oilfin.]

"Thank you, Donny O'Charles. We welcome you to another episode in our Press Your Galactic Luck Madness Tournament. We had another exciting finishes last time, so let's see if we can top it today with these new players. Shall we meet them?"

The audience cheered and applauded.

"OK, then. First, we have our 21st seed of the tournament. He's another relatively new person on the scene. Let's welcome General Hux."

"Thanks, David," Hux replied. "After dealing with First Order drama so much, I need this distraction."

"Let's hope it goes well for you. Next, we have our 16th seed. We're please to have Ahsoka Tano. It's good to have you back after you appeared in our first-ever show."

"Thanks, it's good to be back," Ahsoka answered. "But, I can't believe I'm just barely more popular than a droid that looks like a ball with a holocamera on top."

"Funnier things have happened, Ahsoka. Who knows? Maybe you'll win again today. Finally, we have our top seed today—the third-seeded Obi-Wan Kenobi."

"Greetings. I find this whole idea of a game of change intriguing as it means my Jedi skills really won't matter."

"I assure you, Obi-Wan, this game will be quite challenging. I doubt you'll be bored. Alright, with that out of the way, let's get started. Our big board has 50 000 credits worth of cash and prizes on the board this round. We also have whammies, but you want to avoid them as much as you'd avoid an emotionally-unstable Knight of Ren. Four whammies puts you out of the game. You can pass earned spins to another player. The player leading after round one plays last in round two.

"Let's check the spin allocation. Hux, you have four spins. Ahsoka, you'll have six. Obi-Wan has eight. Because we play round one in order of fewest spins first, Hux will play first."

"Let's go," Hux replied. "I want to start off with big creds here, no whammies, and stop!"

"Stop on 200 credits. You have the early lead with three spins. Press or pass?"

"I'll press, David. I know there's better stuff up there. I want to get some of that now. Stop!"

"Stop on 400 more. Six hundred now with two spins."

"I'll go again. Let's get big creds now. I need it if I want to win. Stop!"

"Stop on 600 credits. That doubles your score to 1200 with one more spin."

"I may as well take it. I know there's 1250 and 1500 up there. Getting those would be a good way to finish. Stop!"

"Stop on 1250! You called it, Hux. That more than doubles your score to 2450. Next, we go to Ahsoka and her six spins."

"Alright, David, As much as I respect Master Obi-Wan, I want to beat him today. Let's get the good stuff I'm used to on here. Stop!"

"Stop on a whammy!"

If only it stayed on 470, Ahsoka thought.

A quartet of whammies dressed as musicians appeared and sang, "We know you like that whammy hug. It leaves you feeling snug as a bug. As... we take... your credits."

"Ahsoka, whammies are never fun," David stated, "But better to get it with zero. You still have five spins, so I assume you'll spin again."

"That would be correct. Let's get credits this time. And let's forget about the romantic trip to Carlac. Stop!" Ahsoka called out, pressing her plunger more forcefully.

"Stop on 300 credits. You're in the game, 2150 behind Hux, four more spins."

"OK, I got some credits, now I need some more. I really need to get the lead before I use my spins here. Stop!"

"Stop on 'Move One Space' to either a prize or 100 and a spin. Which do you prefer?"

"Unless it's a refresher brush, I'm going to go with the prize for the bigger amount."

"That prize space is a linguine-making machine valued at 789 credits. You're up to 1089, a little more than halfway to Hux's score with three spins. Press or pass?"

"I have to press, David. Let's keep getting prizes or bigger values now. Stop!"

"Stop on 500 credits. That's 1589 in total, 961 behind Hux, with two spins."

"I'll go. I don't want to pass and give him more credits. OK, I need some big creds here or one of the round's biggest prizes now. Anything will do... Stop!"

"Stop on 500 again. You've got 2089 credits, just 361 behind Hux now. I take it you want to take that last spin?"

"You better believe it. I know there are spaces for 750 or more on the board. Now's a good time to get one of them. Stop!"

"Stop on 300. Ahsoka, you finish with 2389, only 61 credits behind Hux. Finally, we go to Obi-Wan and his eight big spins."

"Well, I don't know what all the chanting is for, but here goes nothing. Let's get big credits here, David. Stop."

"Stop on a whammy."

A whammy appeared brandishing a lightsaber, saying, "Look at me!" After slicing off its left arm, it added, "Mom said I was a real cutup."

"Obi-Wan, Jedi and ex-Jedi seem to have bad luck today. Ahsoka hit a whammy on her first spin and you just did as well."

"You don't think the Empire rigged the board, do you?" Obi-Wan asked.

"I doubt it. Still, you have seven spins to try to catch up to Ahsoka and Hux."

"I don't go down without a fight. Let's get credits this time. Nothing is too good here. Stop."

"Stop on a prize space. That's lunch for two at Dex's Diner for a year."

Obi-Wan applauded the prize.

"That lunch prize is valued at 708 credits, good for third place and six more spins."

"I have to go again, David. Let's see what other good stuff is on the board. Stop."

"Stop on 550 credits. That's 1258 for you, 1192 credits behind Hux for first, and you still have five spins."

"I have to press my galactic luck, right? Let's start going for the lead here. More credits will help me with that. Stop."

"Stop on another whammy."

A whammy dressed in black said, "Come to the Dark Side. We have whammies," and then laughed evilly.

"That was a bad break, Obi-Wan," David stated. "You have two whammies and four spins. However, I'd warn you about picking up a third whammy in round one."

"You're right. I'll have to pass and regroup for round two," Obi-Wan replied.

"Hux, you're the proud recipient of four passed spins you must take. You have 2450 credits, 61 more than Ahsoka. Avoid the whammy, and you'll solidify your lead."

"Sounds easy enough," Hux replied. "Let's get big creds again or anything to help me add to my lead. I'd love to somehow win today. Stop!"

"Stop on 'Big Creds!' That takes you to the space above it for 1500 credits!"

The audience cheered wildly.

"Hux, you now have 3950 credits, but you still have three more spins you have to take."

"I guess I'm playing, David. Can we get that space three times in a row now? Let's find out and stop!"

"Stop on 750. You move up to 4700 credits, two passed spins left to take."

"Let's keep on doing this. I can buy some good meditation holovideos with 5000 credits. Big creds, no whammies, and stop!"

"Stop on 350. That puts you over 5000 with 5050 credits. One more spin you must take. Avoid the whammy, and you have first place. Hit a whammy, and Ahsoka ends up with the lead after round one."

"That's not going to happen, David. Let's get big creds one last time this round... Stop!"

"Stop on 'Big Creds!' This time, it's good for 1000 credits. I think you hit all three big money values this round."

Hux joined the audience in applauding.

"At the end of round one, Hux finishes with 6050 credits; he'll play last in round two. Ahsoka has 2389. Obi-Wan has zero. Stay tuned for the conclusion right after this."

###

"Welcome back to our Press Your Galactic Luck Madness Tournament. As we prepare for round two, you see we have improved credit values and prizes to the tune of 100 000 credits. We also have Double Your Credits and a spin, and we also have whammies. I bet people will try to avoid them, though.

We'll recap the scoring with the new spin allocations. Hux, you have the lead with 6050, so you'll play last with four spins. Ahsoka, you have 2389 credits with five spins this round. Obi-Wan, with no credits and two whammies, you'll play first with seven spins because we play round two in order of the least number of winnings. Remember, you have two whammies."

"Somehow, I don't think I'll forget, David," Obi-Wan replied. "Let's get big credits. I really need to get into the game here. Stop."

"Stop on 1000 and a spin. That brings you back into the game in third place with all seven spins."

"I'll go again. I need bigger credits now. I'd really like to avoid a major upset today. I know certain people would never stop teasing me if I finish dead last here. Stop."

"Stop on another 1000 and a spin. You've got 2000 and you still have all seven of your spins."

"This could go on all day, but if it helps me get the lead, I won't mind. Let's just keep getting credits here. Stop."

"Stop on 'Move One Space' to 750 and a spin or a prize."

"I'll take the prize."

"That's a trip to Tatooine valued at 3141 credits."

Just what I always wanted after spending 20 years there, Obi-Wan thought.

"Obi-Wan, your total is now 5141 credits. You're only 909 behind Hux, and you have six spins."

"Hmm, let's see if I can get the lead this time. I'll take that thousand space again or anything other than a whammy. Stop."

"Stop on 'Go Back Two Spaces' to 3000 and a spin!"

The audience cheered loudly to see the big money hit.

"Obi-Wan, you now have 8141 credits—good for first place—with six spins still remaining."

"I probably should go again just to cushion my lead. Let's keep getting the good spaces here. No value is too small, now. Stop."

"Stop on a prize space. That's a speeder worth 5148 credits, our most valuable prize on the board!"

Obi-Wan pumped his fist in excitement.

"That brings your total into five digits with 13 289 credits with five spins."

"I'm not taking any more chances. Pass!" Obi-Wan replied.

"Those five spins go to Hux, but you'll have to reflect on them. Ahsoka plays next with 2389 credits, one whammy, and five spins."

"I've got some catching up to do, huh? No problem. I'll get big creds here to make it easy, and stop!"

"Stop on 1500 credits. Thirty-eight eighty-nine with four spins. Press or pass?"

"I have to at least get second place. So, I'll press. OK, I need bigger credits. Be good to me, board. Stop!"

"Stop on 'Big Creds!' That's 4000 and a spin!"

Ahsoka applauded as the audience cheered.

"Ahsoka, you now have 7889 credits. You've moved into second place, and you trail Obi-Wan by just 5400 credits with four spins."

"I think I have to try for the lead now. Let's get big creds again. I need two good spins to catch Master Kenobi. No whammies and stop!"

"Stop on 'Advance Two Spaces' to 2500. You've joined the five digit club with 10 389 credits. The difference between Obi-Wan and yourself is just 2900 credits now. Three spins, press or pass?"

"I'll definitely press, David. Let's get big creds again. I'm so close to taking the lead. Please be good to me here and stop!"

"Stop on 1500 more. That's 11 889 credits now, 1400 less than Obi-Wan. You have two spins left."

"I'm pressing my galactic luck. All I need is 1400 credits or more. Just give me the lead here and be good to me and stop!"

"Stop on 'Go Back Two Spaces' to 3000 and a spin!"

After the audience cheered, David added, "Ahsoka, you now have first place with 14 889 credits—1600 more than Obi-Wan—and you still have two spins."

"I'd really like to pass, but it's too close. I need to go again."

"With 14 000-plus on the win, can she do it?"

"Something worth 4000 credits would be a big help about now. Keep being good to me and stop!"

"Stop on 'Go Back Two Spaces' to 3000 and a spin again! Ahsoka, this is amazing. You now have 17 889 credits with two spins. You lead Obi-Wan by 4600 credits."

"I better pass before I hit a whammy."

"You heard her. Obi-Wan, those two spins are yours and you must take them. You trail Ahsoka by 4600 credits. Here's the first spin."

"Ahsoka is proving to be a skilled player. If I win, she gave me a valiant challenge. Now, I just need big credits here. Stop."

"Stop on 1000 and a spin. You now have 14 289. That spin goes into the earned column, but you have to take your other passed spin first."

"I guess I need 4000 here now. Let's get the credits I need. Stop!"

"Stop on a prize space. That's a trip to Muunilinst worth 3412 credits. You fought off the whammy and you now have 17 701 credits, just 188 less than Ahsoka. You still have one earned spin. You can take to try to get the lead, or you can pass to Ahsoka and hope she hits a whammy."

"I'll take it myself, David. Let's get any credit amount on the board right now! Stop."

"Stop on a whammy!"

As Obi-Wan shook his head in disbelief, a whammy in clone armor shot at Obi-Wan's score until it disappeared.

"Obi-Wan, that was painful. You have no credits, three whammies, and no spins. However, funny things have been known to happen on this show, so sit tight. Now, we go to Hux with 6050 credits. Before you can play your four spins, though, Obi-Wan passed you five from earlier. You'll be taking those first, one at a time."

"Let's get big creds and pass Ahsoka here and stop!"

"Stop on a prize space. That's a trip to Denon valued at 1448 credits. You're up to 7498 now with four passed spins to go."

"I'll be passing her up in no time. This is for the First Order and stop!"

"Stop on 500 and a spin. Seventy-nine ninety-eight. Five spins in the earned column; three spins in the passed column."

"Let's keep getting credits and prizes. Nothing is too good here, and stop!"

"Stop on a whammy."

A whammy dressed in blacked shot Force lightning. Unfortunately, the lightning zapped the whammy until it disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Hux, everyone has hit at least one whammy now. Because you hit one, we'll put the remaining passed spins into your earned column—giving you seven earned spins. You trail Ahsoka by a bunch now, so I assume you want to start over," David said.

"Definitely," Hux replied. "OK, I have to get 18 000 credits in seven spins. Let's start right now with big creds and stop!"

"Stop on 750 and a spin. Second place, seven spins, press or pass?"

"I'll press, David. I need about 2600 credits per spin now. So let's make this one count. No whammies and stop!"

"Stop on a prize space. That's a Shili Safari."

Why couldn't I win that? Ahsoka thought.

"That safari is valued at 4232 credits, bringing you up to 4982. You have six spins left."

"I'll press. I only need 2400 credits now, so hitting 2500 would be perfect right now. Stop!"

"Stop on 'Move One Space' to either '2000 or Lose-1-Whammy' or 2500."

"Twenty-five hundred!" Hux replied.

"That gives you 7482 and five spins left."

"I'll press my galactic luck. I need 2100 each spin now. I can do this. More credits, more prizes, and stop!"

"Stop on 750 and a spin. Your new total is 8232. You still have five spins. Press or pass?"

Hux pointed at the board, saying, "I'm making progress, so I'll press on. Let's keep getting credits here. Soon, I won't need that much if this keeps up, and stop!"

"Stop on 2500. Hux, you keep chipping away and you've broken five-digit territory with 10 732 credits. You trail Ahsoka by 7157 with four spins."

"I'll press again. All I need is 1800 credits. Anything more is a bonus. Big creds, no whammies, and stop!"

"Stop on a prize space. That's a tour of Coruscant, including the underworld. The value of that tour is 3270 credits. Hux, that gives you 14 002 credits. Only 3887 credits separate you and Ahsoka, and you now have three spins left to try to pass her."

"I can do this. All I need now is 1300 credits each spin. That's easier than turning a planet into a laser weapon. Big creds and stop!"

"Stop on 1500 credits. You keep chipping away, and you now have 15 502—just 2387 behind Ahsoka—and two more spins."

"This is very doable now, David. Big creds can give me lead here. No whammies, and... stop!"

"Stop on 'Move One Space' to either 750 and a spin or 2000."

"I want the 2000!"

"OK, Hux, it's yours. You now have 17 502 credits. You trail Ahsoka by 387 credits. Our smallest value on the board this round is 500 should you take your last spin. So long as you don't hit a whammy, you'll take over first place. If you pick up an additional spin, you'll need to consider your options. If you hit a whammy, however, Ahsoka advances to the semifinals."

"The difference is so small, I have to go," Hux replied.

"Ahsoka, Hux, this is it. Good luck."

"I'm not greedy. I'll take 500 credits here for the win. No more spins, no more whammies, and stop!"

"Stop on 3000 and a spin!"

Hux sighed as the audience cheered. He definitely didn't want another spin.

"Hux, you took over the lead now that you have 20 502 credits. You still have one spin and a lead of 2613 over Ahsoka. You can spin again and hope you avoid the whammy, or pass to Ahsoka and hope she doesn't get 2613 credits or more."

"David, I'm nervous seeing what happened to Obi-Wan. And, I'm thinking Ahsoka won't get 2600-plus credits in one spin, so I'll pass."

"Ahsoka, Hux has given you a spin that you must take. You need either something worth 2613 credits or something an additional spin to stay in the game. Anything else, and Hux pulls off a big upset."

"I can beat Imperials with my bare hands, so no problem. Let's get big creds here or an additional spin. No whammies, please, and stop!"

"Stop on 750, it's not enough! Hux, you're today's big winner."

"Wow!" Hux exclaimed as the congratulatory music played.

"Let's take one more break before we wrap up right after this."

###

With the commercial break over, David said, "I'm here with General Hux, today's winner. First, Donny O'Charles will tell us what you've won."

[With pleasure, David. Hux, you won a tour of Coruscant. With chances to visit important landmarks and numerous levels of the underworld, this tour is valued at 3270 credits.

In addition, you won the Shili Safari. You'll spend seven days and six nights touring the scrub lands of Shili. With round trip to and from Coruscant and native guides leading your tour, this incredible prize package is worth 4232 credits.

Adding in the 13 000 credits in cash you picked up today, your grand total is 20 502 credits. Congratulations.]

"Hux, just so you know, your total winnings and cash total are both tournament records so far."

The audience gave Hux a standing ovation upon hearing that fact.

"This is incredible. I can't believe I did it after getting that whammy."

"That just goes to show anything can truly happen. Your win means you've earned a spot in the semifinal round. We can tell you your opponents will be Rey and the very-tough Hera Syndulla."

"I look forward to another challenge."

"Obi-Wan, the whammies didn't seem to care you were the top seed in pursuing you doggedly. No worries, though, we have nice parting gifts for you."

"Thank you, David. Despite those setbacks, I did have fun... for the most part," Obi-Wan replied.

"Indeed. Ahsoka, 18 000 credits would normally be enough to win most games on our show—just not today unfortunately. We also have parting gifts for you."

After thinking, I hope thimiars nibble holes in Hux's socks, Ahsoka said, "It was good to be back, even if I didn't win. At least I came close."

"Tomorrow, our quarterfinal features Luke Skywalker, Beebee-Ate, and Captain Phasma. Who will roll on to victory? Tune in and find out. Until then, this is David Oilfin saying so long from Press Your Galactic Luck."

With closing credits rolling, David stepped away from his podium to spend more time interacting with the players.
