It all happened in a matter of seconds. One moment the only sounds were Ejanni and his fellow slaves chipping at the ground, the next blaster bolts and collapsing tents filled the snow-choked air. A feeling of elation ballooned inside him as he saw an elderly-looking man knocking a slaver out cold with a single blow.
The other slaves had begun to notice as well, once downtrodden faces now slowly beginning to show hope on their alien features. Ejanni's call had worked! They would be saved! Hope blossomed further as something lit up, a dim purple glow amidst the snow. There was no mistaking the sound of it being drawn, nor the light buzz as it elegantly swatted away a blaster bolt. That was a lightsaber, and these were Jedi.
Ejanni's eyes shone with happiness as he threw down his pick. He would finally meet another one of his order! The distant world of Master Jan was now so close, with the only thing in between being the cruelly beeping slave collar on his neck. Thinking quickly Ejanni shouted out to his Jedi rescuers.
"Find Dwisser! Find the Dug! We're not going anywhere with these slave collars around our necks, and he has the deactivation code!"
