Reunited. With the help of the Bad Batch, Captain Rex was able to save his old friend, ARC Trooper Echo, from the Techno Union. The loss of the algorithm provided by Echo on the Separatists' side provides a chance for the Republic to turn the tide in the battle for Anaxes. However, despite Princess Gabriella's healing spell, Echo's horrifying experience behind enemy lines leaves lingering questions about his true loyalty and uncertain future.

The Madrigals were brought to the hangar and to a medical facility to be checked out, and they were met by two Jedi Masters, to whom Anakin introduced the Madrigals.

"This is my old master, Obi-Wan Kenobi, his horse Peppermint, and Jedi Master Mace Windu." Anakin introduced.

"Prince Skywalker tells us you were unexpectedly found on Skako Minor." said Mace. "Is it true."

"Si, Senor." Bruno said. "We ended up there by accident."

"Why were you on Skako Minor?" Obi-Wan asked.

"Because my little sister was kidnapped." Mila said.

The Madrigals explained to the Jedi that they came from a whole different world in a place called Encanto, where their family took care of the village and were basically the leaders and protectors of the beloved community. They told the Jedi their story of how their grandmother Alma Madrigal and her family as well as many villagers fled from their old home when it was attacked.

"When our Abuelo Pedro..." Mila said. "'Abuelo' means 'grandfather,' sacrificed himself, Abuela was given a miracle from the candle she and Abuelo held on their wedding day."

"And it gave them a safe place to call home." Mirabel added. "An Encanto. And our casita rose from the ground, and later blessed Abuela's three babies, our Tia Pepa, Tio Bruno..."

"My father."

"And my mom Julieta with magic of their own. Their gifts."

"Everyone in our family has magical gifts that we were blessed with on our fifth birthdays." Camilo said. He shapeshifted to look like Obi-Wan. "I'm a shapeshifter."

"I'm a telepath." Mila said, making some pillows and med supplies fly.

"I can see people's dreams." Pedro said.

"And I see into the future." Bruno said.

"And what of Mirabel?" Obi-Wan asked.

"I don't have one of my own. But that's because I'm the new keeper of the magic." Mirabel explained.

"Abuela was the holder of the original candle that gave our family our magic," said Mila. "And the only other biological Madrigal without a gift. But she passed away almost a year ago."

"So, I became the new keeper of the magic and caretaker for the family."

"We're sorry for your loss." Mace said.

"Gracias. Thank you." Mirabel said.

"And what of the girl who was taken?" Obi-Wan asked.

"Rosella. Mi hermanita. My little sister." said Mila.

Mila took out a recent family photo and showed them Rosella.

"She has the gift of music. Rosella can make things happen by singing. Like Anakin's hermano Carmine."

"Does that mean 'brother'?" Anakin asked.

"Si." Mila nodded. "Which means 'yes.'"

"I knew that."

"And who took your sister?" Obi-Wan asked.

"Camilo, show him." said Mila.

Camilo stood up and shapeshifted into Grievous, which made the Jedi gasp.
