Publisher's summary[]

ENTER THE STARWEIRD! Long ago, Jedi Masters SHAAK TI and AAYLA SECURA sealed away a GREAT AND TERRIBLE POWER…a horrifying, ancient creature that RESONATES WITH THE FORCE…and DOCTOR APHRA and LUKE SKYWALKER have just released it!

Plot summary[]

RESONANCE

After finding a mysterious Jedi message, Aphra decided to
kidnap Luke Skywalker to bring him to the Sason temple
where the ancient artifact known as Kythoo's Bell resides.

Aphra needs Luke, as the Bell only opens for those pure of
heart and strong with the Force. After some trouble
using the Force, Luke and Aphra were attacked by a terrifying
crystalline creature and dropped through the ground into a
large pool. There, they were greeted by holograms of Jedi
Masters Shaak Ti and Aayla Secura, who were tasked with
guarding the temple, which is actually a Jedi prison and
inhabited by the terrifying Starweird….
