The Empire captures an important Rebel spy master, who had eluded them for decades. Only for his protege to infiltrate the facility where they’re holding him and mercy kill him before he can give them any information on the rebellion. But not before he passes on important details about the Empire’s secret super weapon. And then the protege escapes without a trace.

A few days later a team consisting of only one experienced rebel, the rest being, a reprogrammed imperial droid, a defected imperial pilot, an orphaned former child soldier, and two monks they picked up at random. This barely a team manage to escape from a planet the super weapon partially blew up, sneak into the facility where the tech genius who designed the super weapon is being held prisoner. Then the guards trying to keep the rebels from liberating the genius kill the genius instead. But again not before he reveals to the rebels that he designed a flaw into the super weapon and tells them where to find the plans. Who proceed to go to another empire stronghold and cause massive damage and get ahold of the plans. The Empire use said Super Weapon to destroy their own stronghold in order to kill the handful of rebels giving them trouble and prevent them from giving the plans to the Rebellion. And while they succeed in killing the those few rebels they still lose the plans.

They then chase down the ship carrying the plans, send in their deadliest zealot assassin into the ship, only for a freaking teenage junior senator to shove the plans into a droid and shoot it into space.

So they take the smug senator as a high profile hostage. Despite having no proof she was involved at all and blow up her planet in retaliation.

Another day or so after that, a hick from nowhere, a small time smuggler, a Wookiee, and Obi-was-supposed-to-be-long-dead Kenobi sneak into the super weapon, which may not be worth all this trouble really, and get away with the senator in the equivalent of a souped up jet ski.

Some small time later, the hick and smuggler, neither of whom were even affiliated with the Rebellion before, return and blow the super weapon to smithereens.

Melshi:...
