Qiao Lu got on the Imperial Cargo Shuttle brought back by Captain Andor, and met all the members of Rogue One here.

The first is to hand over the Force lightsaber to Chiru Inwei of Jolu on Jada, along with his companion Bez Mabiaos.

After Jada was destroyed by the Death Star, they had nowhere else to go, so they had to join Rogue One and operate alongside Captain Andor.

There is also Galen Ersor's daughter, Jean Ersor, who also had a relationship with Jolu on Jada.

Originally, after rescuing her father, her goal had been achieved, but now she had a higher goal, willing to complete the devastating mission of fighting the Death Star for the Rebel Alliance.

All that remains is Bodhi Rook, the defected Imperial pilot in charge of piloting the ship, who is the one who delivers the news about the Death Star to Galen Urso, who is wanted by the Empire on Jada.

There is also the robot K-2SO, which served as the co-pilot, which was originally a security robot of the Empire, and after being programmed by the Rebels like the Terminator T-800, it has now become a spy robot of the Rebels, and its combat effectiveness is as strong as the Terminator.

With the addition of Captain Amdo, Joryu, 2B, and Genji, a total of nine people participated in this operation, which was enough for a stealth operation.

The group flew on a cargo shuttle to the planet Tatooine, the birthplace of the entire Star Wars story.

On the spaceship, Chiru and Qiao Lu met again, and at this time he already knew the ins and outs of the Wandering Earth crossing, and even more so that Qiao Lu was not the Jedi Knight he knew.

"I thought I was just blind, but I didn't expect even the Force to admit my mistake."

Chiru said calmly to Qiao Lu, and there was no blame in his tone.

"I'm sorry."

Qiao Lu took out the Force lightsaber, handed it to Qiru and said, "Maybe it's up to you to use it." ”

Qiru shook his head and shirked, "It doesn't matter, as long as it's used for the right thing, whoever uses it will be the same, whether it's a Jedi Knight or not." ”

He's not a pedantic follower of the Force, especially since Jada was destroyed by the Death Star, and there's nothing left for him to hold onto.

Now all he has to do is overthrow the Empire, and only then can he comfort the people slaughtered on Jada.

After receiving Chiru's approval, Qiao Lu reclaimed the Force lightsaber. However, there is no need for him to pretend to be a Jedi Knight, because there are real Jedi Masters on the planet Tatooine.

Soon after, the spacecraft broke out of hyperspace and came into orbit on the planet Tatooine.

It is a huge desert planet, covered in a vast sea of sand everywhere, even from the orbit of the planet, there are no oceans or rivers to be seen, and it is even drier than the surface of Mars.

The only thing that can be developed on such a desolate and barren planet is the black industry of criminal smuggling and slave trading, which can be said to be a criminal place full of dirty trades.

However, it is such a remote planet that has given birth to two generations of the Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker, the former who fell into darkness and became the famous Darth Vader, and the latter who presumably lived an ordinary and ignorant life in the backwoods of Tatooine.

At this time, near the planet Tatooine, the Executor and Tantwi IV are nowhere to be seen, and I am afraid that they are indeed a step too late.

In order to find clues, Qiao Lu and his party can only land on the planet Tatooine first to see if Princess Leia has left anything behind, or they can learn about the movements of the empire from the smugglers here.

With the advantage of being an Imperial cargo shuttle, Qiao Lu and the others naturally landed in the city of Tatooine. It's not so much a city as a huge black market.

As mentioned earlier, there is no commendable industry on this planet, the barren land is destined to be undeveloped agriculture, and the only thing that can planet is these underground industries, which are completely put on the table openly.

Although the empire nominally occupies this place, it is also powerless to do anything about the security here, and there is no way to invest too much manpower to control the rampant criminal activities on Tatooine, after all, the rebel alliance is the main problem of the empire, and these criminals who are just for money have nothing to fear.

Qiao Lu and his party walked down the streets of the black market wearing cloaks, which were cheap and common desert clothes on a vast sandy planet, and such a dress was not eye-catching.

There are all kinds of things sold in the black market, and the most unsightly thing is the slave trade, and it is hard to imagine that there are still places in the interstellar era that still retain this despicable system, which is the best proof of the barbaric backwardness of this place.

All kinds of human races, including alien races other than humans, are sold at a clear price. Money is everything here, and a slave is worth less than a land-traveling boat.

Captain Andor had been in this kind of filth for many years, and a lot of information from the rebels came from this group of powerful smugglers, so he was naturally accustomed to dealing with these criminals.

He soon heard from the local population that an escape boat had recently made a forced landing on the planet Tatooine. Now that the Imperial Stormtroopers are patrolling and searching for them, I'm afraid there's something terrible inside.

Captain Andor judged, "I'm afraid it's Princess Leia's people who escaped with the blueprints of the Death Star." ”

"Can you get in touch with them?" Qiao Lu asked.

"I'm afraid it's more difficult, the Imperial Army is chasing them, and in this case it is impossible to send a signal to reveal their position."

Qiao Lu could roughly guess where it was, but it wasn't 100% accurate these days, so he needed to come in person.

"Then let's find this escape boat first, and if we're lucky, we'll be able to meet up with the people above before the Empire."

To be precise, it should be two robots, and I'm afraid K-2SO will have more of a common language with them.

"How are we going to find that escape boat?" Jean asked, "The Empire is also looking for us, and if there is any movement, I am afraid that it will attract a large number of pursuers." ”

Captain Andor said confidently, "We can find bounty hunters, whether it is finding people or things, they are the best at it. ”

Bounty hunters are also a very popular profession in this wild land, as long as they are given money, they can do anything, depending on how much money they have.

"What are you going to pay for?" Qiao Lu asked curiously.

"I may need to ask you to borrow a small piece of vibranium." Captain Andor said to Jorry, "I know it can be used to pass off an expensive metal in the galaxy, and that a small piece can put a group of skilled bounty hunters to work for us. ”

"Who is it?"

"The Mandalorian."
