A Droid Under Interrogation
Aboard The Devastator, C-3PO is being interrogated, but the troopers of Scar Squadron find his constant barrage of information pointless and annoying. Worst of all? None of it reveals the location of the Rebel Fleet or their potential new base. Sergeant Kreel suggests scouring through C-3PO's memory banks, but Darth Vader orders him and his squadron to scrap the droid for parts, threatening a similar future for them if they continue to fail him. But before they embark on that, the other troops convince Kreel to send a message to the Rebellion that their "beloved" droid is in their hands, hoping to lure them into a trap. C-3PO assures the squadron that his friends would leap at the chance to rescue him.
A Resounding No From All But One
Back aboard the Rebel Fleet, Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, Han Solo and Chewbacca all agree that a rescue attempt would be suicidal, especially with the recent theft of a Star Destroyer.
