Instead, the Wookiees send a prayer to the trees for guidance and come up with a plan. "They believe this planet belongs to the trees, and they are allies in this fight," Tech explains.

At dawn the next morning, the convoy arrives. The Wookiee warriors and the Batch draw them into the Netcasters' nest. Most of the Imperial soldiers are eliminated with few Wookiees harmed in the battle. But once Venomor gets his sights on Gungi, he turns his attention — and his flamethrower — toward the young Jedi.

Encircled by a ring of fire, Gungi and Venomor battle. The Jedi slices his adversary's flamethrower in half with his lightsaber. But the netcasters feel threatened by their presence. Sensing their fear, Gungi disengages his lightsaber and the creatures turn their full attention to Venomor, trapping him in their web.

Together, the Batch and the Wookiees work to contain the flames. Afterward, they share in a hearty meal of a viscus substance. But it's a bittersweet victory. Gungi has returned home to his tribe, yet the state of the galaxy will continue to threaten all those who oppose the Empire.
