Next in issue #2, Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi are on an escort mission, ensuring that a freighter does not become the next victim to the vicious pirate and slave trader Krayn. But it will take more than Jedi to keep Krayn from his prey. Anakin and Obi-Wan venture into Krayn’s ship to keep him at bay. Anakin must fight his hatred of the slaver if he is to finish this mission, but the temptation to stop Krayn may prove to be too much for the young Padawan!
