(Sorry for the delay folks. I've been enjoying my winter break and just started my spring semester last week. There has been a lot of stuff going on, I saw Rise of Skywalker over the break, if you want my assessment on it, it was ok. As for the sequel trilogy as a whole:

Out of all the trilogies, I will watch the original trilogy the most, like I always have. I was born in 1999, when the prequels were coming out, I never saw them in theaters, but I watched and grew up on The Clone Wars and I still love it. I mainly just watch Revenge of the Sith out of all the prequels. Rebels was pretty good too, and I've read the Legends books.

This trilogy, I will grant, is better acted and looks better, but the pacing issues, repetition and lack of a consistent storyline really shows. I will still watch it whenever it is on. But I'm largely indifferent towards it.

I will always be a Star Wars fan. It is one of the first movies I've ever seen before Toy Story 2 and the Land Before Time. It gave me the friends I have today. Also, I have been enjoying The Mandalorian and playing the hell out of Fallen Order and I'm excited for the Clone Wars wrap up too.)

They proceeded to walk toward the cantina exit, they heard screams of rage. The three turn around to see Big Gizz step out with his blaster drawn shooting at them.

Running out of the exit, they spot an array of swoop bikes parked on the side of the road. With no other option on how to escape, Ahsoka jumped on one of them.

"FOLLOW ME!" Ahsoka yelled.

Jaden, having to learn how to use it on the fly, jumped on the second bike, with Jast sitting behind him. Revving up his swoop and started to speed after Ahsoka. Zooming through the streets, they still had to go a distance towards the landing pad on the other side of the city.

"Behind us!" Jast informed the young Jedi. Looking behind him, he sees multiple swoops following them. Big Gizz was leading the pack with a murderous look in his eyes.

With Ahsoka in the lead, they had a bit of distance to go to the landing pad. Big Gizz was going to stop at nothing to kill them before they got off world.

The Weequeys on the other hostile bikes started blasting at them. In response, Jaden tools out his blaster and gave it to Jast.

"I'll dive." He told the defector.

Jast fires back at the oncoming hostiles, while Jaden was following Ahsoka, making sharp turns throughout the city. Knowing that they can't risk them following them back to the ship, Jaden decided to split up.

Without warning, Jaden drove to the right while Ahsoka made the left. Big Gizz then pulled out his comlink, "Follow the Togruta. The boy and slimo are MINE." he growled.

With that, Big Gizz and two swoops peeled off to follow Jaden, while the other three went after Ahsoka. Jaden and Jast looked ahead. They were heading towards a marketplace. Jast turned his attention back behind them and continued to shoot. All the while, Jaden way weaving around all the people in front of them.

Meanwhile, Ahsoka was blazing through the streets as well. Her three pursuers were not giving up. Deciding to take her out, one of the Weequeys pulled out a thermal detonator, and was accelerating towards her. Ahsoka, seeing this coming in the corner of her eye, Force-pushed the Weequey back into the others, causing the detonator to go off, killing all three of the pursuers.

Not too far away, Big Gizz was closing in on the young Jedi and the Imperial defector. The landing pad was not that far out. Jaden knew he needed to act fast. He then got an idea, but if it failed, they will both die.

Reaching the end of the bazar, he was heading towards an edge of a bridge, which lead to trains that pass underneath the landing pad area. Jaden knew he could lose Gizz down there but he had to ditch the bike and time it just right.

"Hold onto my shoulder." Jaden told the defector. Jast nodded nervously. Pushing down the throttle, they were heading towards the end of the line. Big Gizz was still in hot pursuit, but didn't notice until it was too late, In a split second before going off the edge, Jaden and Jast stood up and Jaden Force-jumped them off the bike and onto the maintenance scaffolding underneath the landing platform and there bike went off the edge, crashing into the train and exploded.

Big Gizz and the other pursuers followed suit. Screaming, they hit the burning wreckage, bikes exploding and falling to the trains below. After witnessing this, Jaden and Jast started to climb the piping to the ship.

"How did you do that?" Jast asked.

Jaden looked at him while climbing "I'll explain later."

At the same time…

Ahsoka made it to the ship and was waiting for the other two to arrive.

'Where are they?' she thought to herself. She then heard grunting as she turned around and saw Jaden and Jast arms gripping the edge of the platform pulling themselves up.

"What kept ya?" She says with a sly smile.

Jaden rolled his eyes as he helped Jast up onto the platform. He then turned to the former Jedi. "Well, we are here now."

As they walked to the ship, but then Jaden saw three swoops heading towards them. Three Weequays jumped off and pulled out their blasters and started firing at them. Jaden, acting on pure instinct pulled out his lightsaber, much to Jast's surprise and deflected the laser blast back at them, hitting one of them.

Jaden looked at Ahsoka, who had a semi-disappointed look at him, causing him to feel bad.

"Sorry." Jaden replied in a disappointed tone.

Ahsoka sighed and saw more coming. "Let's go." she told them.

Jaden deactivated his lightsaber and ran, following Ahsoka into the ship along with Jast. As more Weequays arrived, they started to shoot at the T-6, but its deflector shields were protecting it. With Ahsoka piloting it, with Jaden next to her and Jast in the back, the shuttle left Nar Shaddaa's atmosphere and jumped to hyperspace.

Ahsoka and Jaden both leaned back in their chairs at the same time, relieved at another successful mission.

"I know what you are going to say." Jaden started. "I didn't listen, I used my saber, sorry."

Ahsoka, not mad at the young Jedi looked at him and then at Jast in the back. "Well, we accomplished our mission, that's the important thing. And you held your own pretty well."

"So…" Jast started, causing the two to look behind them. "You're a Jedi?"

"In training." Jaden responded.

Jast turned to Ahsoka. "Are you a Jedi too?"

Ahsoka hesitated before turning back to the hyperspace tunnel ahead. "It's complicated." she responded.

This perked Jaden's interest. 'What did she mean be "complicated".' He knew he could not ask her now but later. He then turned his attention back to Jast.

"So, your home, Ibaar, the Empire is starving it?" Jaden asked.

The defector nodded grimly. "Like I said, I have information on hyperspace lanes that you can use to move around the Empire, at least temporarily. I also have reason to believe that an old friend of mine his heading up the Ibaarian rebel cell. But the Empire most likely has a blockade in place."

"Ok," Ahsoka responded. "Our rebel cell could attempt to break the blockade and deliver some supply drops in exchange for the intel."

Jast reached out his hand and Jaden shook it reaching a deal.
