From the mountain, Yoda and Zara wander around until they see something in the distance. "There is a town up ahead," Zara points toward the distance.
The two of them wander into a small town and go to a pub. "Could you tell us information about the Imperial Empire's rule of this planet?" She asks a bartender. The bartender freezes, and so does everyone in the pub who passes glances at them. Yoda puts on the hood of his cloak.
"You're not from around here, are you?" The bartender asks. "We're not, we were just stopping by," She responds. "Keep your nose outta our business then! We don't need any visitors causing us more problems." He places a cup on the counter.
Zara leans in. "We're here to help," She whispers. "Ha! Help? No one can help us, not even the New Republic who promised to make things better for us," The bartender scoffs.
"But—" "Get outta here before you make my customers even more uncomfortable," The bartender points over to the door. She frowns and leaves the pub, pushing open the doors. Walking through the vacant town, she notices stormtroopers patrolling the area.
"They're scared of us but not the Galactic Empire," Zara looks over to Yoda. "Under Imperial forces they are," Yoda says.
"Maybe the pilot was right. Let's just return to Dagobah," Zara turns around. Suddenly, a group of stormtroopers surround them. "You two are coming with us," A stormtrooper commands. "What will we do now?" Zara raises her hands. "Plan I have," Yoda says.
They are thrown into a prison cell. "Are you okay? Those jerks!" Zara exclaims at the injustice. The cell shakes, and Yoda immediately senses it. He turns over to Zara and stops. "What is it ?" Zara asks. "Force, you can use?" Yoda asks. "No, I don't have any powers," Zara says. "Not powers, but Force-sensitivity," Yoda explains.
"So you are saying that I can use the Force? I was never able to use it before," Zara looks at her hands. "Awaken it has. Training you can begin." Yoda says.
"But you told me that you wouldn't teach me, and now you're telling me that my training will begin?" She says. "Teach you, I may. Your emotions are what activates the Force," Yoda stands on his cane.
"I need some time to think this over," Zara says sitting down. Yoda gestures over to the cell door. "Oh, you want me to open it." Zara walks over to the door, using the Force to push it open.
"I did it," She says proudly. "To be Jedi, you must have no emotions," Yoda tells her. "I'm not a Jedi or a Sitn as Darth Vader may wish for me to be. I'm just a farmer." She states.
They run down the jail, passing by other prisoners. Yoda abruptly stops by a cell. "What are you doing? We have to get out of here!" Zara yells over. She runs back, seeing Yoda use the Force to push open the cell. "Who is in there that is so valuable for us to be caught?" She asks.
