This book contains the following stories:
-
It Takes A
Thief by Matthew and Shawn Fillbach et al.
MISSION TO DIADO
Jedi Master Saesee Tiin sits in a bar on the snow
planet Diado, taunted by the local gang leader Birok
for being a newcomer to town. Showing his strength
by publicly humiliating Birok, Tiin is pulled aside
by a girl named Na-Jia, who promptly steals his
lightsaber. Demanding his weapon back, Tiin provides
the girl with 600 credits and then makes his way
down the street, where he is surrounded by
Separatist droids almost immediately. Although he
fights valiantly, a droid still manages to sneak up
behind the Jedi. He is saved when Na-Jia
unexpectedly returns, shooting the droid in the
back. Tiin is ensnared by a rope flung from the back
of Birok's speeder and dragged around town. The gang
leader, not considering how useless a rope is when
compared to a lightsaber, is awestruck as his
"captive" escapes and defeats Birok's men.
More droid reinforcements arrive, however, and Tiin
is captured once more, along with Na-Jia. The
Separatist officers, believing Na-Jia to be a
Republic spy, take her in for questioning. Na-Jia,
pretending to have a fainting spell, falls on top of
an officer holding Tiin's lightsaber, and manages to
snatch it. With the help of a weapon, the two are
able to escape and steal a starfighter, which Tiin
uses to distract the Separatists while Na-Jia
escapes. Blowing apart the balcony where Birok and
his Separatist friends are watching the goings-on,
Tiin turns his guns upon the station's power core.
His mission completed, the Jedi returns home,
smiling as a purple-haired figure waves to him from
the snow.
Occurs just before the
events in Revenge of the Sith.

The Drop by
Mike Kennedy, Stewart McKenney et al.
RESCUE ON YORN SKOT
H.O.P.E. squad is assigned to Yorn Skot to rescue
Jedi Treetower and retrieve the smuggled goods he
was trying to intercept. They are orbitally inserted
and land safely on a floating platform. Treetower's
locator indicates that he is on the unipod on the
underside of the platform.
The squad rappels down to get to him. Suddenly, four
jump droids arrive. The commandos are "sitting
ducks," and only the orange-armored trooper
survives. He jumps on a droid and steals its
jetpack. Another droid fires a stun net at him, and
it shorts out his jetpack. He uses the net to lasso
and mount the droid, and shoots the other two. He
then catches a falling Master Treetower, destroys
the droid he is riding on, and jumps back to his
rappelling line. They climb back up and soon
discover that the cargo is Ugnaught slaves.
Occurs just before the
events in Revenge of the Sith.

To The
Vanishing Point by Matthew and Shawn Fillbach et
al.
BATTLE OF MYGEETO
Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi sits in his tent on Mygeeto,
meditating as drops of water fall softly onto his
head. He is drawn back to a time earlier in the
Clone Wars, when he fought with Jedi Knights
Rivi-Anu and Eon in a fierce battle. In the middle
of the chaos, a starship was partially destroyed and
fell from orbit, threatening to destroy the entire
battlefield. Rivi-Anu, wounded and falling behind,
made the decision to sacrifice herself. Exhibiting
an exertion of the Force that astonished even
Ki-Adi-Mundi, the girl held up the starship until
everybody has evacuated. Back in his tent, the
Cerean remembers the life of Rivi-Anu. When
Commander Bacara enters with news that the troops
are ready to deploy, Ki-Adi-Mundi rises, his
meditation complete.
Occurs just before the
events in Revenge of the Sith.

Means And Ends
by Haden Blackman, Rick Lacy et al.
PRISON BREAK
In an M'bardi prison, a riot has broken loose. Jedi
Masters Kit Fisto and Plo Koon arrive to sort things
out. The prisoners immediately unite against the two
Jedi, and lightsabers are drawn. During the battle,
the Jedi realize the difference in their views:
while Fisto believes in the value of all life, Koon
argues that "scum like this can't be
rehabilitated". Defeating the rioters using
their own personal methods, the two descend into the
sewers, where they meet a two-headed thug divided
into two personalities: one peaceful, one
argumentative. Koon finally gives in to Fisto's
arguments and chooses to knock the two out cold
rather than kill them. Their escape is broken short,
however, when the bounty hunter Durge appears,
explaining that it was he who started the riot in
order to lure Jedi into his trap. He is temporarily
defeated when a boulder falls upon his head, an
event triggered by the actions of the two-headed
prisoner. Realizing that not all condemned are evil,
Koon leaves the escape plan up to Fisto, who remarks
that the prisoners should tag along to "watch
our backs and earn time off for good behavior".
Occurs just before the
events in Revenge of the Sith.
