When their youngest discovers a natural connection with the Force through an ancient artifact&mdash;the Kyber Saber&mdash;his world is turned upside down, and he and his family are thrown into an epic struggle against the Empire to restore peace and freedom to the galaxy. Throughout their adventures, the Freemakers explore new worlds, meet new and familiar faces, and learn the true value of what it means to be a family.''
