As they explored the ship’s corridors, Boba and Garr often had to stand aside for formations of clone troopers marching to the mess hall or to the main docking bay for a battle sortie.

“I think they are creepy,” said Garr.

“Me too,” said Boba.

“If you see them without their helmets, they all look alike,” said Garr.

The troopers marched from place to place, or sat in their dorms polishing their Tibanna-gas blasters. They never talked with anyone outside their ranks, and rarely talked to one another; and never noticed the two ten-year-olds who walked among them. They always traveled in groups of four, six, ten—always even numbers. They didn’t like to be alone.

They paid no attention to Boba and Garr as they continued to go everywhere together. They saw the vast hydroponic farms, tended by droids, that turned waste into air and water, just like the forests and kelp beds on the planets. They saw the immense plasma engines, tended by droids and a few harried crew members. They saw the clone troopers, never excited, never bored, endlessly cleaning their weapons.

After a few days of exploring, they had covered almost every part of the vast assault ship, except for one area.

The bridge.

“I would give anything to see the bridge!” said Garr. “I even tried it once, but I couldn’t sneak in. No kids allowed! The bridge is where the Jedi hang out, you know.”

“Who cares?” said Boba. The less he saw of the Jedi, the better. Luckily, they seemed to have lost interest in him after their surprise at finding him on Raxus Prime.

“I care!” said Garr. “I admire the Jedi. They are the guardians of civilization, willing to sacrifice all so that others can live in peace. I wish I’d be found to be Force-sensitive and trained as Jedi. Don’t you?”

“Not me,” Boba said. He thought about telling Garr the truth—that he hated the Jedi, and wanted to be a bounty hunter, like his father.

But he decided against it. There was a limit to how much you could trust anyone, even your best friend.
