Synopsis:
Five years before the events of The
Phantom Menace, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn and his
apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, are already legendary for
their exploits. When a valuable cargo freighter fails to
reach its destination on the planet Coruscant, Qui-Gon
and Obi-Wan are sent into deep space to search for the
missing ship. Their investigation leads them to the
distant, lawless world of Ord Mantell, where everyone
carries a grudge and a blaster and Jedi are less than
welcome. Despite their powers, the Jedi soon realize
that it will take more than the Force and lightsabers to
survive!
Investigating the deaths of a cargo freighter's crew,
Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi travel to a moisture
plant on Ord Mantell. There, they they learn that a
ruthless land baron named Taxer Sundown may have had
ties with the ill-fated freighter. But when they
discover that most of the Ord Mantell colonists are
convinced that Taxer Sundown is a Jedi, Qui-Gon and
Obi-Wan realize that they might be up against more than
they can handle!
As the villainous Taxer Sundown prepares to flee Ord
Mantell, a young woman is abducted by monstrous
Mantellian savrips. Hoping to rescue the woman and
capture Sundown, Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi are
forced to split up, but their separate paths lead to
even more unexpected perils, and a face-off against
intergalactic slavers. Can the two Jedi bring justice to
the lawless world before time runs out?
