Death Trap

The Clone WarsA group of green clone cadets is brought aboard the Endurance for training, but among them is young Boba Fett, still seeking revenge for his father’s death in the Battle of Geonosis. With help from someone at the other end of a communicator, he sneaks away from the cadets’ tour of the ship to plant a bomb in Mace Windu’s quarters. But the next person to set foot through that door is a trooper, not Windu himself. Boba’s next instructions from his contact are even more severe: blow the engine reactor core. He accomplishes this, crippling the Endurance, which slowly falls toward the planet Varquon. The cadets are ordered to head to the escape pods while the rest of the crew prepares to abandon ship, except for Admiral Kilian, who stubbornly stays at his post even when Windu and Anakin order him to leave with them. Boba intentionally damages the pod he’s in so it drifts off course, away from the rest of the cadets and evacuees, to be found by his contacts: Aurra Sing and Bossk, flying the ship that once belonged to his father. They recover Boba but set the three cadets with him adrift again.
