A Race Against Time
The Jedi, led by Master Sol (Lee Jung-jae), push forward in their mission to find Kelnacca first. It’s a race against Mae (Amandla Stenberg) and Qimir (Manny Jacinto) who are intent on reaching the elusive Wookiee.

Doubts plague Mae and Osha, played by Amandla Stenberg. Osha is torn between her loyalty to Master Sol and her connection to her sister. Meanwhile, Mae questions her purpose as she strives to achieve her mission in the galaxy.
Kelnacca’s Solitude
That is one Jedi that doesn’t want to be found,
Qimir states, setting the tone for their dangerous trek through the uncharted forest. The symbol of the witch’s Ascension ceremony covers Kelnacca’s hideout, hinting at past tribulations on Brendok.
Tension on Coruscant
Back on Coruscant, the Jedi are increasingly troubled by Mae’s prior victories, marked by holograms of fallen comrades. This builds up to a conversation among senior members of the Jedi council about their readiness and resilience.
The Mission to Khofar
