In a hastily arranged rescue mission, nearby heroes must rush to save as many prisoners as possible before a Starship arrives to transport them offworld. With the majority of clone troops and Jedi engaged elsewhere, it’s up to the heroes to carry the day on their own.
Behind the Threat: The Sith	Matthew Grau	The Sith. The very name has haunted the Jedi Order for millennia.

Mythmaking in Star Wars	Matthew Grau	Over the last fifty years, more and more writers have begun to deliberately use what Joseph Campbell coined the monomyth. Through extensive study, Campbell came to believe that nearly all myths, even if from radically different times or places, kept to the same basic structure with the same basic stages. In essence, the monomyth speaks to all people in all places in all times because it represents a commonality of human experience and understanding. It is a powerful storytelling tool when used properly.
