While Luke has to cope without R2D2, he turns to Ben Kenobi's old journal and reads a story from the early days of Master Yoda. He's found himself on an alien planet inhabited by children. Afraid that he's a monster conjured up by their apparent rivals, they attack him. He's able to fend off their spears but can feel the force in their tips which is troubling. What is this planet and what does it hold?
Yoda explains to the children that he's a teacher. He sees them as warriors and after some discussions, they see him as a kind of savior. They bring him to their home and introduce him to the skyscreamers - a team of children who swallow small pieces of the sacred rock and then scream to the sky for help. Realizing that this was the calling he felt, the children tell him their origins. They once lived in harmony but some factions became greedy. Their side lost the enduing battle and they were cast out to the muddy side of the mysterious mountain. Recently they captured a spy and Yoda convinces them to free him, allowing him to return the spy to the others in an act of goodwill.
Once he gets close enough, he tells them he seeks peace. But the "Rockhawkers" question him, accusing him of tricks and declare him an enemy. They attack him and he loses consciousness. When he awakes, he's in chains. The children tell him he must walk into the mountain and find it's heart. Only then will they free him. Yoda knows what he must do. He begins his ascent to the mountain top and with that, the issue is left to be continued.
A very interesting tale indeed, this certainly helps to further cement Yoda as truly the galaxy's greatest Jedi. How he plans to escape this time should be interesting. I give this issue a 9/10.
