Kess Lendra is a regular rebel grunt until her brother finds an old photo of her grandfather with a lightsaber. When asked for help to design a dud lightsaber, she mails Skywalker for help. Next thing she knows, she's on a treaty mission with a Wookiee she doesn't understand, a Captain that doesn't like her and a Jedi playing tricks to learn if she's really Force-sensitive or not.
