Following a confrontation with Naare on Hoth , Rowan and Roger separated from Zander and Kordi in order to protect his siblings and to prevent Naare from getting her hands on the last Kyber Saber crystal . However , Naare lured Rowan back to the Wheel by harming his siblings and managed to reforge the Kyber Saber . Rowan and his family manage to retake the Kyber Saber following a showdown on Coruscant . Wanted by the Empire , the Freemakers joined the Alliance to Restore the Republic . Biography . Background . Rowan Freemaker was a young Human boy who lived during the Imperial Era . He was a member of a family of scavenger s known as the Freemakers ; that included his older brother Zander , his older sister Kordi , and their B1 battle droid servant R0 - GR . Together , Rowan and his family lived at a space station called the Wheel in the Abrion system , where they operated a starship repair garage called Freemaker Salvage and Repair . Rowan and his family operated a starship called the " StarScavenger " , which they used for their work and travels . Searching for the Kyber Saber . A New Path . Following the Battle of Hoth , Rowan and his siblings were traveling in space when they stumbled upon the wreckage resulting from a dogfight between Imperial TIE fighters and Rebel Alliance X - wings . After collecting some material , Rowan accidentally destroyed a nearby " Gozanti " - class cruiser . To avoid detection , the Freemakers returned to their garage in the Wheel where they were greeted by their Aqualish landlord Furlac and Roger , who had been baking cookiees . While Zander and Kordi were cobbling up a starship from battle wreckage , Rowan accidentally swung a pole into the head of an AT - ST walker . The AT - ST head fired a blast into Zander ' s starship , destroying it . As a result , Rowan and the other Freemakers including Roger traveled to the jungle world of Nal Kapok to obtain spareparts . While Zander and Kordi went out to explore the jungle , Rowan was ordered to stay behind with Roger . However , Rowan disobeyed his siblings ' orders and snuck out of the ship with Roger . While trying to avoid a stormtrooper patrol , the two stumbled into a hole which led to an underground pool and cave . There , they were attacked by a dianoga . Before the dianoga could devour them , Rowan and Roger were saved by a lightsaber – wielding woman called Naare , who introduced herself as a Jedi survivor of the Clone Wars . Rowan , Roger , and Naare discovered the hilt of an ancient weapon called the Kyber Saber . Naare recounted that the Kyber Saber had been built by Baird Kantoo , a wise Jedi Master , who had forged the weapon out of pure kyber crystal s . After realizing the danger of the Kyber Saber , he had it smashed into several pieces and instructed a group of other Jedi to hide the crystals throughout the galaxy . Kantoo feared that the Kyber Saber could be used for evil purposes . Realizing that Rowan was Force - sensitive , Naare convinced him to assist her in her quest to find the other pieces of the Kyber Saber so that they could use it against the Empire . After returning to the surface , Rowan discovered that Zander and Kordi had been captured by stormtroopers . Rowan came to their rescue and attacked the Imperials with a vintage AT - TE walker . However , the walker broke down and Rowan was quickly surrounded by the stormtroopers . Fortunately for him and his siblings , Naare then intervened and used her lightsaber to overpower and drive the stormtroopers away . The Freemakers befriended Naare and brought her back to the Wheel . Once back at the Wheel , Naare told Rowan that he had a special ability to sense the crystals and offered to train him in the ways of the Force ; which the boy happily obliged . Unknown to Rowan , Naare was a Sith agent who worked for Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader . Trouble with Graballa . Following their adventures on Nal Kapok , Naare began to train Rowan in the ways of the Force . Bored with levitating a brick , Rowan decided to play with Naare ' s blue lightsaber . Naare then reminded Rowan to focus on his lesson and showed the boy a holomap of the galaxy . The boy quickly sensed a Kyber Saber crystal in the Balgaroth asteroid field . Naare then convinced Rowan to accompany her to the Balgaroth system . However , they were caught by Kordi and an argument quickly ensued between the adults . While the adults were distracted , Rowan decided to proceed with the quest on his own and traveled there on one of Zander ' s Z - wing s with Roger . Rowan and Roger eventually stumbled on a mining facility in the Balgaroth asteroid field that was owned by the Hutt crime lord Graballa . Rowan let the Force guide him through the mining complex with Roger tailing behind . In his trance - like state , Rowan found the second kyber crystal wedge into a rock over a large vat of magma . Rowan was saved from death by a mining droid that had befriended Roger . Before the two could leave the mining facility , they encountered two Ikotchi bounty hunter s named Baash and Raam . Donning an Ugnaught helmet , Rowan pretended to be an Ugnaught bounty hunter . Viewing Rowan as a potential recruit , Baash and Raam took him to Graballa ' s starship " Rancor ' s Fist " . Despite Rowan ' s supposed " strength " , he and Roger were easily bested by Graballa ' s leading bounty hunter , Dengar . During the brief melee , Rowan lost his helmet and Graballa and his henchmen quickly learned that the boy was not a bounty hunter . Graballa also took an interest in Rowan ' s Kyber Saber crystal , which was a rare and valuable commodity . Desiring the kyber crystal for himself , Graballa ordered Rowan and Roger to be fed to his pet nexu Smiley in an attempt to force the boy to show him where the other crystal were . Before the execution could be carried out , Graballa was contacted by his cousin Jabba . Graballa wanted to used the kyber crystal to fund a beachside resort but Jabba disagreed and cut the conversation . Before Graballa could resume with his torture , Rowan ' s siblings Kordi , Zander , and Naare arrived . While Kordi and Zander tried to sell Rowan ' s Z - wing to Graballa , Naare freed Rowan and Roger from their restraints and used the Force to quieten the nexu . Before they could sneak away , Graballa spotted them . Together , the Freemakers and Naare fled on the Z - wing and smashed through a window ; causing the kyber crystal to be sucked out into space . Graballa sent several starfighter s led by Dengar after them but Naare used the Force to clear a path through the asteroid field and to destroy most of the pursuing starfighters . This display of Force power impressed Rowan and his siblings . After returning to the " StarScavenger " , Rowan apologized to his siblings for leaving the Freemaker Garage without permission . Rowan also wanted to apologize to Naare for losing the kyber crystal . Suddenly , Rowan sensed the crystal and convinced his siblings to take the ship to the location . The Freemakers eventually found the second Kyber Saber crystal floating in space . After retrieving it , Rowan was praised by Naare ; who had attempted to destroy their ship in a fit of rage . Due to his actions in the Balgaroth asteroid field , Rowan attracted the attention of Graballa who wanted to obtain the Kyber Saber crystals for his own pecuniary gain . Rescuing Zander . Later , the Freemakers received a service job from fellow Wheel resident Wick Cooper to repair his vintage N - 1 starfighter . Knowing that Zander was a starship enthusiast with poor impulse control , Kordi instructed Rowan to keep their brother distracted while Roger brought the starfighter into the garage . Rowan tried to distract Zander by getting him to tie himself with a rope and to repair equipment while blindfolded . However , Zander was still able to smell the chromium of the N - 1 . Rowan tried to stop his brother from entering the starfighter and a tussle broke out . This drew their sister Kordi ' s attention . Kordi warned Zander to control himself because Cooper was their latest customer in a long time . When Cooper rang the buzzer to make a list of " excessive demands " , Zander took advantage of his siblings ' momentary distraction to take the N - 1 for a joyride . After Zander ' s escape , Kordi reprimanded Rowan for not doing more to restrain their older brother . When Cooper entered the garage , Kordi and Rowan claimed that the starship was " in the back . " They then took Cooper back to the reception and offered to pay more attention to his starship . When Rowan offered to do a " wax job " , Kordi was upset but still pretended to play along . While waiting for Zander to return , Rowan and Roger pretended to repair the starship by banging equipment in the garage . Rowan claimed that the ship had several faults as a pretext for their " delays . " Shortly later , Rowan and Kordi received a hologram call from Zander , who had been captured by the Imperial Star Destroyer " Vendetta " for " disrupting " Imperial business . After ruling out bounty hunters , the two decided to seek Naare ' s help . Naare was reluctant to help until Rowan suggested that it was a Jedi test . Rowan and Kordi traveled to the " Vendetta " on a modified Class - D cargo container while Naare traveled in her " Eclipse Fighter " . Despite a faulty transponder , Rowan managed to save himself and his sister from getting their ship blown up by using the Force to fix it . The Freemakers then landed their ship in the Star Destroyer ' s hangar bay . While traveling down a corridor , they encountered two stormtroopers but were saved by Naare . After avoiding two Imperial officer s , they managed to find their way to Zander ' s cell . After rescuing Rowan , the Freemakers and Naare made their way back to the hangar bay only to be confronted by Darth Vader and his stormtroopers . While Naare slipped away into the garbage chute , the Freemakers confronted Vader . After failing to convince the Sith Lord that they were not spies , Zander confessed that he had merely taken an N - 1 starfighter on a joyride . Upon seeing the N - 1 starfighter , Vader took the ship for a joyride and was immediately caught up in a dogfight with Imperial TIE fighters . Amidst the dogfight , Rowan used a comlink to order the tractor beam projector to draw the N - 1 starfighter back into the hangar . While Vader was distracted by his stormtroopers , the Freemakers and Naare took the opportunity to return to the Wheel in their ships including Cooper ' s N - 1 starfighter . Upon arriving back at The Wheel , Cooper was enraged that his N - 1 starfighter had been totally wrecked . As compensation , the Freemakers offered Cooper Zander ' s Blazemaker prototype . When the ship malfunctioned and blew up , Cooper threatened to sue them . Calrissian ' s Lost Treasure . Later , Rowan continued his Jedi training under Naare ' s instruction . Struggling to use the Force to connect two bricks , a frustrated Rowan threw the objects into air . The bricks hit Zander , who asked his brother what was troubling him . In an attempt to cheer Rowan up , Zander took his brother to watch a podrace in the Wheel ' s Lower Ring . While Zander was distracted , Rowan encountered Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca . The former was trying to recruit bounty hunters to recover his " lost treasure " from Cloud City . After the other bounty hunters including Graballa ' s henchmen Dengar , Baash and Raam proved unwilling to accept the job , Rowan volunteered . Calrissian was reluctant to hire a child but relented after Rowan assured him that he had a ship . While Kordi and Zander were annoyed with their brother for not consulting them , they took up the offer because they were short on money . Together , they traveled on the " StarScavenger " to Cloud City . The Freemakers managed to bluff their way in by posing as repair mechanics going to the Carbon - freeze chamber . While Kordi headed to Calrissian ' s disco pad to recover his " lost treasure " , Rowan and Zander headed to the carbon - freeze chamber . Using the Force , Rowan managed to repair the tube , which had been damaged during Darth Vader ' s duel with Luke Skywalker . However , Rowan got himself accidentally frozen in carbonite in the process . Kordi arrived but was joined by Naare , Dengar , Baash and Raam . During a brief skirmish , Dengar and his associates managed to steal Rowan ' s frozen body after recognizing the boy from their earlier encounter in the Balgaroth asteroid field . Before the gangsters could escape with Rowan , Zander used Naare ' s lightsaber to sever a cable connecting Cloud City ' s repulsorlift generator ; causing the city to slip into the depths of Bespin . Amidst the chaos , the Freemakers and Naare managed to recover Rowan ' s body and the " lost treasure " . After being defrosted from carbonite , Rowan , despite his hibernation sickness , managed to use the Force to reconnect the repusorlift cable in Cloud City ' s engine room ; causing the city to return to its normal floating position . After returning to the Wheel , the Freemakers handed Calrissian his " lost treasure " , which turned out to be his blue cape . In return , Calrissian paid them with bars of gold . Mission to Kashyyyk . Rowan later joined his older siblings and Roger on a mission to obtain a piece of wroshyr wood from the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk . Behind on their rent payment , Kordi had accepted a job from the Twi ' lek captain Ignacio Wortan to obtain the wroshyr wood for his new dashboard . Rowan had been learning how to speak Shyriiwook , the Wookiee language . However , Kordi turned down his offer to serve as a translator and instead outfitted Roger with a translation chip . After evading the Imperial blockade above Kashyyyk , the Freemakers managed to land on the planet . Upon landing , the Freemakers were accosted by a group of Wookiees led by Chief Attabura , who damaged Roger . However , Rowan managed to use his Shyriiwook language skills to convince the Wookiees they were not a threat . After Rowan and Roger explained the reason for their visit , Attabura gave them the piece of wroshyr wood in return for rescuing his son Tantarra , who had been imprisoned by the Trandoshan s in an island fortress . The Trandoshans were allies of the Empire and were using Tantarra as a hostage to ensure the Wookiees ' compliance . Kordi and Zander tried to walk out of the deal but Rowan and Roger convinced them to continue with the mission in order to avoid antagonizing the Wookiees . While Roger stayed behind with the " StarScavenger " , Rowan and his siblings traveled on speeder bike s to the Trandoshans island fortress . They managed to used an improvised catapult to breach the fortress . After tricking the guards into thinking they were repair crew , the Freemakers managed to rescue Tantarra from his cell . Having achieved their objective , the Freemakers and Tantarra proceeded to the top of the tower to rendezvous with Roger and the " StarScavenger " . Before they could leave , Rowan sensed the presence of the third Kyber Saber crystal through the Force . This discovery coincided with the Imperial officers Durpin and Plumestriker discovering their presence and the Wookiees launching an attack on the Trandoshans . Rowan led his brother , sister , and Tantarra into a chamber where they retrieved the kyber crystal from a Trandoshans statue . After reuniting Tantarra with his father Attabura , the Freemakers headed to a clearing to rendezvous with Roger and the ship . Rowan and Zander reached the ship only to be cornered by Durpin and Plumestriker , who attempted to arrest them . However , Kordi appeared and knocked out the two Imperials with the wroshyr wood . The impact however split the wood in half and the Freemakers were forced to leave with the damaged object . Captain Ignacio was displeased with the damaged wroshyr wood and called off his deal with the Freemakers . The only solace was Rowan finding the third Kyber Saber crystal . He presented the crystal to Naare , who praised her apprentice for his growing powers . Meeting Skywalker . Later , Rowan continued his training under Naare . Before departing on a secret mission , Naare cautioned Rowan not to reveal his Force powers to strangers under the pretext of keeping him safe from the Empire . Later , Rowan and his siblings were visited by Prince ss Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker , who were members of the Rebel Alliance . Leia and Luke ' s Y - wing had been damaged during a dogfight with Imperial TIE fighters . While Zander and Kordi met with Leia , Rowan along with Roger and Luke went aboard the " StarScavenger " . While fiddling with the ship ' s controls , Roger accidentally sent them into hyperspace . Luke was able to deactivate the " StarScavenger " hyperdrive ; which caused the ship to exit hyperspace above the jungle world of Felucia . Using the Force , Luke was able to cushion the ship ' s landing and won the admiration of Rowan ; who recognized him as a real Jedi . After landing on Felucia , Rowan and Luke began repairing the ship ' s bulkhead . Rowan also encountered a flower which blossomed everytime the Force came within range of its buds . Roger then informed Rowan and Luke that an acklay had stolen the " StarScavenger " hyperdrive generator . Later that night , Rowan and Luke joined forces to recover the hyperdrive generator from a pit inhabited by the acklay . However , they accidentally awoke the creature by dislodging rocks over it . The enraged acklay then pursued the three visitors . Rowan , Roger , and Luke then made a second attempt to recover the hyperdrive generator . Inspired by Luke ' s teachings about the Force acting as a natural order , Rowan used flowers to distract the acklay while Roger recovered the hyperdrive . After repairing the " StarScavenger " , the trio returned to the Freemaker Garage . Since Leia and Luke ' s Y - wing had been destroyed in order to mislead the Empire , the Freemakers sold one of their Z - wings at a discounted rate . Due to their experiences , the Freemakers became more sympathetic to the Rebellion . Trap on Tatooine . Following the events on Felucia , Rowan became suspicious of his mentor Naare . He tried to voice his concerns to Roger but the B1 battle droid was switched off . Later , Rowan and the other Freemakers traveled to the planet Tatooine where his older brother Zander had found a job with the podracer pilot Ben Quadinaros ; who was participating in the 29th Annual Bricklayers ' Classic race in Mos Espa . While working on Ben ' s podracer , they discovered that Ben ' s sponsor was Graballa the Hutt ; who had arranged the job in order to lure the Freemakers into a trap . Graballa wanted Rowan in order to find the other Kyber Saber crystals . Before Graballa and his henchmen including Dengar , Baash , and Raam could question the Freemakers , Graballa ' s cousin Jabba arrived . While Graballa was distracted , Rowan and his family including Roger took the chance to escape in a podracer . As a result , the Freemakers inadvertently became contestants in the 29th Annual Bricklayers ' Classic . During the race , they were pursued by Dengar , Baash and Raam . Following a grueling race , they managed to lose their pursuers and Zander ended up winning the race . Pursued by Graballa , the Freemakers fled on their podracer into the Dune Sea where they sought refuge in a derelict sandcrawler . After contacting Naare for help , Rowan , his siblings , and Roger fought off Graballa ' s forces with a box of thermal detonator s . Shortly later , Naare arrived in the " Eclipse Fighter " and managed to rescue Rowan . While she went to rescue Zander , Kordi , and Roger from Graballa ' s henchmen , she left Rowan insider her ship . There , Rowan discovered her Sith lightsaber and eavesdropped on a hologram message from the Emperor recommending that Naare kill Rowan ' s family in order to force the boy ' s cooperation . Rowan accompanied Naare and the other Freemakers back to the Wheel but kept her Sith lightsaber as evidence . Flight to Takodana . After the events on Tatooine , Rowan informed his siblings Zander and Kordi , and Roger about Naare ' s true Sith identity . The Freemakers made preparations to flee their garage aboard the " StarScavenger " . When Naare appeared at the door , Roger tried to distract her but Naare saw through their deception . When Rowan confronted her about her deception , Naare responded that the Jedi were gone because of people like her . She then Force - pushed him off a platform . Following a brief struggle , Rowan and the other Freemakers managed to escape aboard the " StarScavenger " . Naare then pursued the four fugitives through the space traffic around the Wheel . After losing Naare , Rowan and the other Freemakers jumped into hyperspace . While traveling , Rowan was despondent because Naare had promised to train him as a Jedi ; prompting Kordi to comfort him . The " StarScavenger " was forced to exit hyperspace after losing its quantum field regulator . The Freemakers exited hyperspace above the planet Takodana and sought refuge at Maz Kanata ' s castle . While landing , the " StarScavenger " accidentally clipped the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka ' s starship . As compensation for the damage cause to Hondo ' s vessel , the Freemakers agreed to travel to the Third moon of Takodana on the Mini Scavenger to retrieve three golden orbs . After an uncomfortable trip , Rowan and his family discover that the golden orbs are located inside a sinkhole that is guarded by several varactyl s . The Freemakers decide to wait until nightfall when the varactyls are asleep . That night , Kordi assigns Rowan to act as a " snipe spotter " while she , Zander , and Roger fly the harvester over the sinkhole . While Rowan watches , Roger is lowered into the pit and fetches the golden orbs . However , Roger drops the orbs and startles the sleeping varactyls . The varacytls rip up Roger and attack the Freemakers ' scavenger vessel . Before the varactyls can do further damage to his siblings , Rowan intervenes and uses the Force to reason with the varactyls . Rowan is tempted to use the dark side but decides to choose the light side . After realizing that the golden orbs are varactyl eggs , Rowan apologizes to the varactyls who allow the Freemakers to leave in peace . As they leave for Takodana , Kordi reassures Rowan that he is special . Back at Maz Kanata ' s castle , Rowan and his siblings confront Hondo and his gang about the varactyls ' eggs . Hondo admits that he was aware that the golden orbs were eggs . Unhappy that the Freemakers have not honored their agreement , he orders his henchmen to break Rowan and his siblings ' heads . However , Maz intervenes and drives Hondo and his men out . Admiring the Freemakers , Naare gives them the quantum regulator and also gives Rowan the fourth Kyber Saber crystal ; telling him that it is a worthy cause . She tells Rowan to also seek the Maker of Zoh . Hunt for the Crystals . Following the events on Takodana , Rowan and the other Freemakers made preparations to leave on the " StarScavenger " with the fourth Kyber Saber crystal . Before they could leave , the Freemakers were ambushed by Naare , who had forged an alliance with Graballa the Hutt . Naare used the Force to snatch the crystal out of Rowan ' s hand and fly away in the " Eclipse Fighter " . The Freemakers gave chase in their ship but were attacked by Graballa ' s starship " Rancor ' s Fist " . Under attack , the Freemakers were forced to retreat into hyperspace . Once in hyperspace , the Freemakers resolved to prevent Naare from reforging the Kyber Saber by getting to the remaining crystals first . Rowan knew that the next two crystals were on Naboo and Ningoth . Thinking that Naare would travel to Naboo first , the Freemakers decided to travel to Ningoth , an ocean world . While Roger stayed behind on the " StarScavenger " , Rowan and his siblings explored Ningoth ' s oceans in the submarine " Bubbly Snubbly " . They discovered that the fifth crystal was being used as a light source by an opee sea killer to hunt for fish . Following a struggle , Rowan repaired the submarine ' s lamp and traded it with the opee sea killer in return for the crystal . Before they could leave Ningoth , Naare and Graballa caught up with them . The Freemakers managed to use the " StarScavenger " chain to drag Naare ' s " Eclipse Fighter " underwater . The Freemakers managed to launch their " Bubbly Snubbly " into the " StarScavenger " rear cargo bay . However , Naare managed to use the Force to snatch the crystal from Rowan before the doors could close . Having lost a second crystal , the Freemakers fled into hyperspace . With little choice , the Freemakers decided to travel to Naboo in order to reach the sixth Kyber Saber crystal before Naare . On Naboo , Rowan discovered that the sixth crystal was hidden inside the former Theed Royal Palace , which had been revamped as the Emperor Palpatine Museum . The Freemakers decided to sneak into the Museum at night in order to search for the crystal . Zander managed to infiltrate Roger into the Museum disguised as a Clone Wars exhibit . That night , Roger let the other Freemakers into the Museum . While the other Freemakers were distracted by the exhibits , Rowan resolved to find the crystal . Despite being distracted by a powered pogostick , he resolved to continue the mission . Rowan then stumbled upon several statues of Palpatine at various stages of his life . Rowan was scared by a talking statue of Darth Sidious and accidentally toppled the exhibits . One of the heads rolled into the Clone Wars exhibit and struck several of the battle droids including R0 - HK ; setting off several blaster s . One of the blaster bolts hit a hanging N - 1 starfighter that Zander was toying with , causing it to crash into the Theed Hangar . The noise alerted several Imperial stormtroopers led by General s Durpin and Plumestriker , who attempted to execute Kordi , Zander , and Roger . However , Rowan borrowed a Palpatine robe and a voice changing device . Claiming that the intruders were " generous donors " , he ordered the Imperials to leave . Once they were alone , Rowan sensed that the sixth Kyber crystal was inside a Naboo royal headdress that Kordi was wearing . Before the Freemakers could leave , they were cornered by Naare and Dengar . While Dengar engaged in a gun battle with Roger and the other Freemakers , Rowan dueled with Naare . He could not match her lightsaber skills and Force powers and lost the crystal . Before Naare could finish him off , Rowan used the Force to collapse the last bolt holding the fallen N - 1 starfighter . The fallen starfighter triggered an explosion , which demolished much of the Museum . Rowan and the other Freemakers managed to escape into the night but were forced to leave the sixth crystal behind . Back aboard the " StarScavenger " , the Freemakers discussed how Naare was able to track them . They then learn that Naare had been listening to their conversations by using Roger ' s transmission pack , which had been transmitting since the events on Tatooine . Seeking the Maker . After the events on Naboo , Rowan decided to seek out the Maker of Zoh and convinced his siblings to travel to Zoh , which turned out to be a junkyard world . While landing on Zoh , the Freemakers discovered that someone had rearranged the junk on the planet into beautiful double helix structures . After landing , the Freemakers encountered several droids led by N - 3RO . Despite Roger ' s efforts to assure the locals that they were friendly , N - 3RO deemed the Freemakers a threat after learning that they had removed his transmission pack . A struggle broke out between the Freemakers and the local droids . At that point , the a former associate of the Sith , Jek intervened and pacified the droids . He introduced himself as the Maker of Zoh and welcomed the Freemakers to his home . Learning that the Freemakers were scavengers , Jek allowed them to salvage from the junkyard much to the delight of Zander and Kordi . Realizing that Jek was a Force - wielder , Rowan related his Jedi training to Jek and produced the blue lightsaber he had stolen from Naare . Jek , who had retreated from the galaxy , was reluctant to help until Rowan mentioned Naare and her quest to find the Kyber Saber crystals . Jek then agreed to complete Rowan ' s Jedi training . Jek told the young Freemaker that he used his creations to represent the light and dark sides of the Force . Rowan then assembled a table from junk under Jek ' s supervision . Jek then taught the young Jedi how to focus on the Force and to ignore distractions . After some attempts , Rowan managed to use the Force to build objects . He also fashioned a speeder bike from scrap pieces and went for a ride . Jek also assembled one and joined Rowan on the race . Rowan and Jek then stumbled upon N - 3RO , who had taken his brother Zander and sister Kordi captive . N - 3RO had turned the other droids against the visitors and was preparing to crush them with a crane . Jek tried to reason with N - 3RO but the rogue droid convinced his brethren that the Freemakers had corrupted the Maker . Rowan used his Force powers to construct a flying machine to ferry his siblings to safety . However , the machine crashed on the scrap heap . Rowan and Jek were then overpowered by the droids . N - 3RO then gave orders for the droids to " decommission " the organics . Before they could terminate the prisoners , Roger appeared and reaffirmed his loyalty to the Freemakers . He then reattached the transmission package in an attempt to save his family . After some delay , Naare and Graballa arrived and attacked the settlement . Naare took on Jek and Rowan tried to help . However , Jek told the boy to escape with his family . Rowan and the other Freemakers escaped aboard the " StarScavenger " . Once in space , Rowan issued a message to Naare via Roger ' s transmission pack ; telling her that the Freemakers would not be divided and vowing to find the seventh Kyber Saber crystal . The Freemakers , Naare , and Graballa then raced to Hoth . Finding the last Crystal . Rowan and his family traveled to Hoth in the " StarScavenger " with Naare and Graballa in pursuit . They flew into a snowstorm , which blinded Dengar , Baash , and Raam who were unable to see . Zander was also unable to see through the storm but Naare could due to her Force powers . She then opened fire on the " StarScavenger " and inflicted some damage . Using the Force , Rowan was able to guide the " StarScavenger " to safety and the Freemakers narrowly avoided colliding with a mountain . Naare , Dengar , and Graballa ' s ships were not so lucky and crashed into the mountain . After landing the " StarScavenger " , Rowan and his siblings explored a nearby cave while leaving Roger to guard the ship . While traveling through the cave , the Freemakers encountered a baby wampa that took a liking to Zander . As they continued their exploration , the Freemakers discovered a chamber full of crystals . Using the Force , Rowan was able to locate the seventh and last Kyber Saber crystal . However , the crystal was a keystone that triggered a natural cave - in , trapping the Freemakers . Using Naare ' s stolen lightsaber , the Freemakers were able to dig themselves out . Despite recovering the seventh Kyber Saber crystal , Rowan and his siblings discovered that the " StarScavenger " was frozen beneath an ice lake . They also encountered a frozen but operational Roger who could only utter " Genius " since his language circuits and logic processor had been frozen . With the cold getting worse , the Freemakers sought shelter . They managed to tame two tauntaun s and use them to draw a snowspeeder that had been improvised into a sledge . The Freemakers eventually spotted the abandoned rebel base Echo Base . Upon arriving at Echo Base , the Freemakers encountered the disgraced Imperial officers Durpin and Plumestriker , who had been posted to Hoth following the events on Naboo . Durpin tried to drive the Freemakers away but Plumestriker alerted Imperial forces via intercom . Durpin attempted to shoot the Freemakers with his blaster but the baby wampa bit his leg . When Plumestriker fired at the wampa , the mother wampa intervened and chased the two Imperials away . However , the Freemakers realized that Naare had been alerted to their whereabouts and prepared for an assault . Rowan used his Force powers to help Zander and Kordi rebuild an AT - AT walker and a snowspeeder . During the ensuing skirmish , Rowan and Zander managed to use their snowspeeder ' s tow cable to rip the canopy off Dengar ' s fighter , causing the ship to crash . Kordi ' s walker shot down Graballa ' s ship , causing it crash and its impact shook the " StarScavenger " from its frozen tomb . Rowan and Zander ' s fighter was then shot down by Naare ' s " Eclipse Fighter " . In response , Kordi shot down Naare ' s fighter . However , Naare used her Force powers to summon an avalanche which toppled Kordi ' s walker . Naare then confronted Rowan but the Freemakers managed to flee into a cave when Durpin , Plumestriker , and the pursuing wampas ran over her . In the cave , the Freemakers received an ultimatum from Naare who offered to stop hunting them if Rowan surrendered the last kyber crystal . Without telling his siblings , Rowan came up with a plan to swap the real kyber crystal with a block of ice . Kordi and Zander tried to talk Rowan out of submission but the boy responded that life without his family would be unbearable . Rowan then surrendered the fake crystal to Naare , who proceeded to reforge the Kyber Saber . Before Naare discovered that the crystal was a fake , Rowan and his family fled on the " StarScavenger " . Once in space , his siblings and Rowan complimented Rowan for his plan . Unable to return to the Wheel , Kordi and Zander decided to travel through the galaxy . However , Rowan was unwilling to endanger his older siblings anymore and departed with Roger to the rear of the ship . He and Roger then departed on the Mini Scavenger . When Kordi and Zander tried to tell him to return , Rowan stressed that he was protecting them before jumping into hyperspace . Taking on Naare . Rowan and Roger traveled to a remote planet where he hid the last Kyber Saber crystal . The two parked their ship near a shelter that was home to several Jedi training droids . Rowan convinced Roger to play back recordings from the Clone Wars so that he could practice his lightsaber skills with the training droids . One of the recordings was a scene of Roger and other battle droids fighting the Jedi Mace Windu , Obi - Wan Kenobi , and Anakin Skywalker from the Battle of Geonosis . While practicing , Rowan experienced a Force vision of his brother Zander and sister Kordi being tortured by Naare . When Roger pointed out that it was a trap to lure him out of hiding , Rowan responded that there was no point saving the galaxy without the people he loved . Together , Rowan and Roger traveled back to the Freemaker Garage on their scavenger vessel . Rowan arrived back in the Wheel just in time to stop Naare from embarking on a second round of torture against Zander and Kordi . After crashlanding their ship , Rowan and Roger leapt onto a platform and Rowan challenged Naare to a duel . The bounty hunter Dengar fired at Rowan but the boy deflected the blasts back at Kordi and Zander ' s chains , freeing them . While his siblings engaged in a gun battle with Graballa ' s henchmen , Rowan fought with Naare . Roger helped by dropping spareparts and debris on her but Naare deflected them with the Force . As the two clashed , Naare demanded the crystal but Rowan revealed that he had hidden it on a remote planet . When Naare noted that Rowan ' s lightsaber skills had improved , the boy responded that he learned his moves from Anakin . Naare taunted him by telling him that the Jedi were dead before hurling more debris at the boy . Rowan managed to deflect the objects . When Naare demanded to know who trained him , Roger intervened and revealed that he taught the boy all of the Jedis ' moves including Windu . Using Master Windu ' s moves , Rowan managed to fight Naare into a corner . Roger then added that he taught Rowan everything he knew about the Jedi . At that point , Naare abandoned her fight with Rowan and decided to pursue Roger ; realizing that he knew the location of the seventh kyber crystal . Naare beheaded Roger and stole his head . After subduing the Freemakers , Naare turned on Graballa and his henchmen . Using the Force , she drove them out of the Freemaker Garage . Rowan made a final attempt to stop Naare but she buried him under a pile of debris before departing on the " Eclipse Fighter " with Roger ' s head . Kordi and Zander dug Rowan out of the rubble . While Rowan was unhurt , he was upset that he failed to stop Naare and remarked that he was no Jedi . At that point , the boy experienced an epiphany and realized that he was neither a Jedi nor a Sith but a Freemaker . After levitating the debris and wreckage with the Force , Rowan told Kordi and Naare that he had figured out how to defeat Naare . Showdown on Coruscant . Following the events on the Wheel , Rowan used his Force powers to repair the Freemaker Garage and the " StarScavenger " . Instead of pursuing Naare , Rowan devised a plot to trick Naare into giving the Kyber Saber to him by impersonating Emperor Palpatine . While Kordi and Zander were sceptical that his plan would work , they agreed to try it out . After the traveling to the galactic capital Coruscant , the Freemakers managed to infiltrate the Imperial Palace through the sewers . Rowan made his way into the Imperial Palace where he ran into the Emperor himself . However , the Emperor had just learned that Naare had taken possession of the Kyber Saber and rebelled . With Naare coming to destroy him , the Emperor decided to evacuate the Palace . He mistook Rowan for a decoy and allowed him to enter the throne room . Meanwhile , Naare arrived in Coruscant on the " Eclipse Fighter " and used the Kyber Saber to destroy much of the orbiting Imperial fleet . Naare managed to land outside the Palace and fought her way into the throne room . Naare then attacked Rowan and mistaken thought he was working with the Emperor ; prompting an angry rebuttal from the boy . Naare eventually gained the upper hand over Rowan and was about to strike him down with the Kyber Saber . However , the Emperor returned with two AT - AT walkers and bombarded the Palace . However , Naare tossed them aside with the Kyber Saber and then announced herself as the new Empress of the galaxy . After Naare tried to kill several spectators in a fit of rage , Rowan used the Force to summon the Kyber Saber to him . After reassembling it , Rowan used the Force to summon pieces of rubble to trap Naare . At that point , the Emperor arrived and urged Rowan to give into the dark side and strike her down . However , Rowan refused to give into temptation and instead fled with his family and the Kyber Saber aboard the " StarScavenger " . The Emperor sent several TIE fighters after them but the Freemakers managed to flee into hyperspace . After fleeing Coruscant , Rowan traveled to the volcano world of Sullust where he destroyed the Kyber Saber by dumping it into a volcano ; reasoning that it was good to know when to relinquish a weapon . Unable to return to the Wheel since the Empire had imposed a bounty on them , the Freemakers decided to travel the stars . Shortly later , they encountered the Alliance Fleet . Rowan and his siblings accepted an offer from Admiral Ackbar to join the Rebel Alliance . Joining the Rebellion . Bartering across the Galaxy . After receiving an invitation from Admiral Ackbar , Rowan and his family flew the " StarScavenger " aboard the MC80 star cruiser " Home One " hangar . There , they were greeted by Admiral Ackbar , who informed the rebels that he had intercepted the Emperor ' s transmission ordering his forces to find Rowan . When he asked Rowan what he did to antagonize the Empire , Rowan recounted that he had stolen the Kyber Saber , the most powerful weapon in the galaxy , and destroyed it by throwing it into a lava pit . When Ackbar asked them what they did , Kordi told him that they were scavengers . Shortly later , Lieutenant Valeria crashed her U - wing into the " Home One " hangar . After learning that she needed a new Type A vector coil , Rowan and his siblings departed on a search for the coil . Admiral Ackbar promised to give the Freemakers a permanent job if they got the Rebellion . The Freemakers traveled to several locations including Cloud City , Takodana , Kashyyyk , and Tatooine where they bartered various objects including an ignition switch , comlink gasser , ion projector , a power cell , and a repulsor disc . On Tatooine , Kordi managed to swap the repulsor disc for a Type A vector coil . Meanwhile , Rowan , Zander , and Roger were caught in the tentacles of a sarlacc . Having obtained the vector coil , the Freemakers returned to " Home One " and Admiral Ackbar decided to hire them to service the Alliance Fleet ' s starfighters . Roger to the rescue . While Rowan was helping his brother Zander to repair the " StarScavenger " , they were joined by a dejected Roger whose attempt to befriend the rebel droids had gone awry . When Roger asked how he could win over the droids , Rowan asked what they liked . This gave Roger the idea to build a buffer . While Roger was building the machine , Rowan tried to encourage him but the droid was unable to hear since he was wearing ear muffs . Shortly later , an Imperial Star Destroyer attacked the " Home One " . Rowan helped Kordi to fit an engine to a Y - wing starfighter but Roger borrowed one of the engines . While testing the buffer , Roger accidentally catapulted himself into space and took out the Star Destroyer ' s deflector shield generator . This turned the battle in the Rebel Alliance ' s favor . Rowan later attended Roger ' s award ceremony . Assault on Strike Station Aurek . While his older siblings were servicing Blue Squadron ' s starfighters , Rowan climbed on top of a stack of crates and eavesdropped on Lieutenant Valeria briefing her pilots for the assault on Strike Station Aurek . Valeria ' s plan was to drop a proton torpedo into the station ' s thermal exhaust port , a tactic first utilized during the Battle of Yavin . While Roger was baking some sweet - sand cookies , he collided with the stack of containers . This caused the containers to fall and damage the starfighters in a domino effect . Kordi panicked but Rowan told his sister and brother to delay the pilots while he and Roger rebuilt the starfighters . Using his Force powers , Rowan rebuilt the starfighters . Roger however accidentally built himself into the astromech socket of Valeria ' s Y - wing . Rowan was unable to free Roger and the two found themselves reluctant passengers aboard Valeria ' s starfighter during the assault . When Roger panicked during the dogfight , Rowan covered for him by feigning enthusiasm . As they approached the proton exhaust port , Roger fretted that he had not fixed the launch tube . However , Rowan used his Force powers to dislodge the proton bomb into the exhaust port . This destroyed the station and Rowan likened it to the destruction of the Death Star . After returning to the " Home One " , Rowan used his lightsaber to cut a hole through the floor of the Y - wing , allowing him and Roger to sneak out . Kordi complimented her younger brother for having the Force with him . Zander ' s first dogfight . After Lieutenant Valeria turned down Zander ' s offer to join Blue Squadron on the grounds that his Blazemaker Mark II lack blasters , Rowan along with Kordi and Roger helped refit his starfighter with laser cannon s . Rowan used the Force to help levitate a laser cannon into one of the Blazemaker ' s wings . When Zander installed a magma cannon on top of his fighter , Rowan and Kordi opined that their older brother was doing it . Their concerns were proven right when the Blazemaker II exploded during a space dogfight after the magma cannon malfunctioned . Zander survived the explosion and admitted he went too far . Rowan reassured his brother he was still a hero to the Rebellion . Rescuing Lando and Chewbacca . Rowan and his siblings attended a meeting with Admiral Ackbar . After learning that the rebel agents Lando Calrissian and Chewbacca were stranded and trapped behind an Imperial blockade , the Freemakers volunteered to rescue them and deliver a fuel intermixer for their ship , the " Millennium Falcon " . As part of the plan , the Freemakers traveled to the Imperial blockade and allowed the " StarScavenger " to be boarded by an Imperial " Gozanti " - class cruiser . Rowan and his siblings tried to mislead the Imperial officers Durpin and Plumestriker into believing they had Gamorrean flu . However , Plumestriker saw through their ruse and ordered his stormtroopers to arrest the Freemakers and seize their cargo . However , this played into the Freemakers ' plan . In the brig , Rowan used his Force powers to reassemble Roger , who was hidden inside the cargo box . Roger then knocked out the stormtrooper sentries and freed his family . While Zander and Roger went to restart the " StarScavenger " engines , Rowan used his lightsaber to slice a hole in the Gozanti cruiser ' s panel . After stealing the ship ' s fuel intermixer , the Freemakers fled aboard the " StarScavenger " . They then rendezvoused with Lando and Chewbacca on the planet . After installing the fuel intermixer in the " Falcon " , the rebels returned in their ships to the " Home One " . Back at their base , Lando praised the Freemakers for rescuing him again and thanked Admiral Ackbar for recruiting them . Rowan thanked the rebels for giving them a home . However , Roger interrupted to inform them that he had left one of his legs aboard the Imperial cruiser and to ask if they could return . Expedition to Tibalt . Rowan helped his siblings test Valeria ' s A - wing . Shortly later , he saw Commander Luke Skywalker and his astromech droid R2 - D2 . Before Rowan could talk with Skywalker , they were interrupted by an announcement that the Imperial Navy had found the Alliance fleet . Rowan attempted to help as his siblings and the rebel crew prepared the starfighters for combat . The Alliance managed to escape after a squadron of B - wings broke through the Imperial TIE fighter formation , allowing the Rebel fleet to flee into hyperspace . While Rowan was upset that his services were not needed , Kordi tried to cheer him up by telling him that he helped raise morale . With the Alliance short on spareparts , the Freemakers prepared to depart for a salvage run to Tibalt ; where a recent battle had taken place . However , General Hera Syndulla gave Rowan a special assignment to visit the Mon Calamari starship builder Quarrie , who lived in the lowest level of the " Home One " . Quarrie , who was preoccupied with building a starship that could change the balance of the war , initially did not welcome the boy until Rowan invited him to accompany Freemaker Salvage and Repair on their expedition to Tibalt . On Tibalt , Rowan and Roger found an Imperial thruster but Quarrie dismissed it as junk . Rowan then noticed a shiny , new ship nearby . This ship turned out to be the " Tracker I " , the personal transport of the hunter droid M - OC who had been sent by the Emperor to capture Rowan . M - OC captured Rowan with a grappling arm and imprisoned him in the ship ' s brig . M - OC then informed Rowan that he had been sent by the Emperor to capture him . M - OC departed in the " Tracker I " but was pursued by the other Freemakers and Quarrie in the " StarScavenger " . Rowan managed to use his lightsaber to cut himself free of the " Tracker I " and jumped into the " StarScavenger " scoop . However , M - OC refused to give up the chase and pursued the " StarScavenger " . He managed to damage one of the ship ' s engines , causing the " StarScavenger " to crash . M - OC then demanded that Rowan surrender but the young Jedi fought back with his lightsaber . M - OC managed to trap the boy under a net but Rowan freed himself with his lightsaber . M - OC used his various gadgets including flamethrower s and rocket booster s to maneuver Rowan into the " Tracker I " . Fortunately , Quarrie and Kordi sent a nearby freighter ramming into M - OC and " Tracker I " . M - OC survived but was damaged . The Freemakers then fled offworld . While returning to the " Home One " , Rowan told Zander and Kordi that the droid M - OC worked for the Emperor . After returning to the " Home One " , Quarrie saw potential in Rowan as a shipbuilder and recruited him as his apprentice . However , he warned him not to dawdle . Later that night , Rowan experienced a Force vision of himself building a starship powered by a Kyber crystal known as the " Arrowhead " . Expedition to Aliston Nor . Unable to properly describe his vision of the " Arrowhead " to Quarrie , Rowan agreed to accompany Quarrie to the city of Aliston Nor , an ancient city of great beauty where the greatest minds in the galaxy looked for inspiration . Rowan then went to seek permission from Kordi to travel to Aliston Nor ' s planet on the " StarScavenger " . Since Kordi was busy giving a presentation , she sent him to his older brother Zander . While Zander was preoccupied with repairing Lieutenant Valeria ' s starfighter , Rowan managed to get permission from Zander for him and Quarrie to hang out aboard the " StarScavenger " . Rowan and Quarrie entered the " StarScavenger " with Roger . Despite colliding with several starships , Rowan managed to fly the " StarScavenger " out of " Home One " hangar . After traveling through hyperspace , Rowan and his companions approached Aliston Nor ' s planet , which was surrounded by three - rings . While they did not encounter any obstacles , the " StarScavenger " presence drew the attention of the Imperial probe droid XJ9MO2 , who reported their presence to M - OC . Rowan managed to safely land the " StarScavenger " in the jungle - covered ruins of Aliston Nor . Rowan and his companions were pursued by a pack of gundark s but Rowan managed to use his Force powers to trap the predators inside an improvised cage consisting of columns . Rowan and the others then traveled through a tunnel which led to the Tower of Aliston Nor . After entering the tower , Quarrie explained to Rowan about the history of the Force Builders , a Jedi offshoot that specialized in building beautiful architecture and starships . After climbing to the top of the tower , Rowan experienced a Force vision of Aliston Nor at the height of its glory . He also saw the " Arrowhead " and found the inspiration to build the starship . Shortly later , M - OC arrived aboard the " Tracker - I " and opened fire on Rowan and his companions , causing them to fall off the tower ' s ramparts . Rowan managed to use the Force to save Quarrie and Roger from falling to the ground . Knowing that Rowan had trouble concentrating , M - OC then attacked Rowan with his new double - bladed spinning lightsaber and blasters . While parrying with M - OC , Rowan managed to hurl Quarrie and Roger towards a vine . M - OC also cut Rowan ' s vine but the boy managed to use his Force powers to cling to other vines . Despite dropping his lightsaber , Rowan managed to use the Force to collapse a balcony on top of M - OC . Before M - OC could recover , Rowan , Quarrie , and Roger fled on the " StarScavenger " and returned to the " Home One " . Upon arriving back at the rebel flagship , Rowan was reprimanded by his older siblings for taking the " StarScavenger " on an errant adventure to Aliston Nor . When he pointed out that they gave misleading instructions , Kordi and Zander acknowledged they were partly to blame . After reconciling , Rowan managed to assembled a model of the " Arrowhead " in Quarrie ' s workshop . Though Quarrie pointed out that the " Arrowhead " needed several items including embersteel blades , a fusion conduit , suspension housing , an energy matrix activator , and a bantha - sized kyber crystal , Rowan was undaunted in his determination to save the galaxy . Undercover on Mygeeto . While working on the " Arrowhead " , Rowan and Quarrie realized that they needed an embersteel blade . After Kordi learned that the Galactic Empire was auctioning off various starships on Mygeeto including a " Theta " - class H - 2 executive star shuttle with embersteel wings , she managed to secure the Freemakers a 75 , 000 credit loan from the Alliance leadership to purchase the shuttle . For the mission , Kordi disguised herself as the Clawdite prince ss Alo Kortessi while Rowan and Zander disguised herself as her servants . Kordi managed to use her persuasive and acting skills to convince the stormtrooper sentries to let the Freemakers into the Mygeeto Auction House . Kordi ' s plan encountered a stumbling block when a Cerean auctioneer informed them that the nobles left the bidding to their servants . Rowan accompanied Zander into the bidding floor . Zander was mesmerized by the sight of an Eta - 2 Actis - class light interceptor . Despite Rowan and Kordi ' s objections , their impulsive older brother bidded for the ship , believing that it was only worth 65 credits . However , the ship was worth 65 , 000 credits , leaving the Freemakers 55 , 000 credits short . Zander tried to convince the auctioneer that it was a mistake but he was unmoved . Rowan and Zander had to deal with a furious and frustrated Kordi . The Freemakers ' troubles were further complicated when one of Graballa ' s minions Raam accidentally bidded for the " Theta " - class shuttle . Posing as " Princess Kortessi " , Kordi tried to trade the Jedi light interceptor for the shuttle . However , Graballa decided to kidnap the " princess " in order to extort a ransom from the Clawdite royal family . After Graballa escaped on the " Rancor ' s Fist " , Rowan and Zander followed in the " StarScavenger " and the Jedi light interceptor . Rowan traveled in the " StarScavenger " with Roger and caught up with the " Rancor ' s Fist " . Rowan and Zander took part in a dogfight with Graballa ' s starfighters , which were led by Dengar . Following a dogfight , Rowan and Zander managed to land their ships in the " Rancor ' s Fist " hangar bay . Before they could leave with Kordi , Dengar crashlanded his starfighter into Zander ' s ship . After defeating Dengar , the Freemakers escaped in their starships and returned to the " Home One " . Back at the " Home One " , Rowan watched while Zander and Kordi installed the frontal cannons and the embersteel blade onto the " Arrowhead " . Detour to Taul . While working with Quarrie on a model of the " Arrowhead " , Rowan learned that they needed a proton suspension housing to hold the ship ' s giant kyber crystal in place . When Quarrie mentioned that the Corellian Defender was the only starship that could carry such a large proton suspension housing , Rowan proposed visiting Maz Kanata ' s castle on Takodana to seek her help . Rowan also accidentally burned through a set of chains with his welder , causing several objects to fall and Roger to collide with a generator . Rowan apologized for the mess and led Roger into a recharge chamber aboard the " StarScavenger " to recuperate . After Admiral Ackbar assigned Zander and Kordi on a mission to rescue Major Bren Derlin near the planet Taul ' s asteroid field , Rowan decided to come along for a ride . He managed to convince Zander and a reluctant Kordi to travel to Takodana first in order speak with Maz Kanata . While at Maz Kanata ' s castle , Rowan and his siblings encountered the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka , who offered to help them obtain a Corellian Defender on Taul in return for getting passage off Takodana . The Freemakers then helped Hondo to escape from the bounty hunter Awan Zek and his Rodian associates . During the brief skirmish , Rowan used his Force powers to delay Awan and his comrades . However , Awan and his Rodian associates recognized Rowan as a rebel fugitive and the alerted the Galactic Empire including the hunter droid M - OC . While Kordi distrusted Hondo , Rowan and Zander thought the pirate could help them obtain the proton suspension housing . Upon entering Taul ' s atmosphere , the Freemakers learned that Taul was an acidic world with violent storms , acid pools , and falling debris . After braving the harsh environment , Rowan and his siblings managed to find a wrecked Corellian Defender resting on top of an acid lake . Rowan tried to lift the Corellian Defender out of the lake but the ship was too badly damaged . As a result , Kordi brought the Mini Scavenger . While Zander operated the vehicle , Rowan used a crane to descend into the Defender and retrieve the proton suspension housing . Despite the corroded state of the ship , Rowan managed to retrieve the starship part before the rest of the ship collapsed into the acidic lake . The Freemakers then tried to resume their mission to rescue Bren only to discover that Hondo had stolen the " StarScavenger " . Shortly later , M - OC arrived in the " Tracker I " and destroyed the Mini Scavenger . M - OC ordered Rowan to surrender but was crushed by a falling rock . The Freemakers then retreated before M - OC could regenerate . As the pursuit continued , Rowan tried to fight back with his lightsaber but was driven back by M - OC ' s double - bladed spinning lightsabers and flamethrowers . The Freemakers managed to cross an acidic lake and Rowan used his lightsaber to cut off the bridge . M - OC then hovered over the lake with his rocket boosters . Rowan managed to disable the rocket boosters with his lightsaber but M - OC activated his mechanical spider legs . Rowan then hurled a metal pole near M - OC . The metal pole was then struck by lightning , electrocuting the hunter droid . Following the adventure , Rowan apologized to his siblings for getting them sidetracked . Shortly later , the Freemakers were rescued by Roger , who had overpowered Hondo and locked him in a sealed box . The Freemakers then rescue Bren Derlin from his escape pod . Before returning to the " Home One " , Rowan convinced his siblings to make a special trip to Takodana where Roger handed Hondo in a sealed box to Awan Zek and his associates . Personality and traits . Rowan was Force - sensitive and known to be adventurous and curious . The youngest member of the Freemaker family , he had a knack for getting himself and his family into trouble . Rowan had a deep sense of love and loyalty towards his family which extended to the servant battle droid Roger , who served as his long - time companion . Rowan ' s life entered a new pivotal turning point when he discovered that he was Force - sensitive . As a result , Rowan became involved in a quest to find the pieces of the Kyber Saber , a powerful ancient lightsaber capable of destroying the galaxy . Due to his impressionable youth and naivety , Rowan was won over by the Sith agent Naare , who posed as a Jedi and offered to train him in the ways of the Force . Rowan had a deep sense of loyalty and commitment to his family despite their disagreements and flaws . He regarded Zander as a big brother who liked fun . Still , Rowan recognized that Zander had poor impulse control when it came to starships . Rowan also looked up to Kordi as a surrogate parental and authority figure . Rowan also regarded Roger as a friend and long - time companion whom he could confide his worries and concerns with . Rowan ' s devotion to finding the pieces of the Kyber Saber led him to disregard other priorities , which sometimes placed him and his family in danger . Rowan could also speak the Wookiee language Shyriiwook which enabled him to communicate with Wookiees and diffuse misunderstanding . Rowan had an uneasy relationship with Naare , who was more concerned with finding the Kyber Saber for her Sith masters . When Rowan discovered that Naare was a Sith double agent , he was initially despondent because Naare had told him that he could be a Jedi . Despite his unpleasant experience with Naare , Rowan found more worthy mentors in the form of the Jedi Luke Skywalker and Jek ; who taught him how to harness his Force powers . In addition , Roger reluctantly taught him more Jedi combat techniques . Rowan was brave and had a strong moral compass . He believed that it was dishonorable to turn down a request from the Wookiee chief Attabura to rescue his son Tantarra after getting a piece of wroshyr wood from the Wookiees . Later , he convinced his siblings Zander and Kordi that it was wrong for them to steal three varactyl eggs in order to pay a debt to Hondo Ohnaka . Rowan displayed courage and fortitude when he confronted Hondo over his unethical order to steal the varactyl eggs , which fetched a high prize on the black market . During that same test , he also overcame the temptation to used the dark side to subdue the varactyls and instead used the light side to reason with them . Rowan Freemaker was enthusiastic about joining the Rebel Alliance . He took pride in his role of destroying the Kyber Saber , believing that it was too dangerous for anyone to wield . Rowan also knew how to make the best out of a bad situation . His connection to the Force and flexibility once enabled him to turn a disaster into a success for both his family and the rebels . Rowan took pride in helping to fight for the Rebellion by contributing to the destruction of Strike Station Aurek . Despite his enthusiasm , Rowan knew restraint and once voice concerned when Zander overloaded the Blazemaker Mark II with too many laser cannons . Rowan was also a good team player and supported his siblings during their missions together . The Mon Calamari rebel shipbuilder Quarrie realized that Rowan had potential as a shipbuilder and recruited him as his apprentice . Rowan was also known to bend the rules to suit himself . On one occasion , he used a loophole in Zander ' s instructions to borrow the " StarScavenger " for an errant mission to Aliston Nor . Rowan was also playful and once flung a centipede at Roger . Rowan also had a special destiny in the Force to build a powerful starship called the " Arrowhead " and received Force visions . Rowan ' s quest to build the " Arrowhead " distracted him from other matters such as his siblings ' mission to rescue Major Bren Derlin . Rowan was also naive and trusting ; a trait that was exploited by the slippery pirate Hondo Ohnaka . Hondo exploited Rowan ' s desire to obtain a proton suspension housing from a Corellian Defender by luring him and his siblings to Taul and stealing their starship . Fortunately , Hondo was bested by Roger , who rescued his family . While Rowan could not best M - OC in combat , he managed to outmaneuver the hunter droid by using a metal pole to electrocute him . Powers and abilities . As a Force - sensitive person , Rowan had the power to sense the pieces of the Kyber Saber . Whenever he sensed the crystal , he would enter into a trance - like state . On Felucia , Rowan discovered that he could use the Force to summon flower petals to open . This enabled him to distract an acklay while Roger recovered the " StarScavenger " hyperdrive motivator . Rowan could also use his Force powers to communicate with animals including varactyl lizards . While he briefly toyed with the dark side , Rowan ultimately chose the light side . Rowan learned various lightsaber techniques from Jek - 14 and by watching Roger ' s recordings of battles with the Jedi during the Clone Wars . He was able to use the Force to hurl and retrieve objects , and to leap onto high places . In addition , Rowan was good at impersonating others . On two occasions , he used a voice distortion device and dark robes to impersonate Emperor Palpatine . During his final battle with Naare , Rowan used the Force to summon debris to trap her but refused to strike her down when she was helpless since that bring him close to the dark side . Coming from a starship building and scavenging family , Rowan knew how to pilot the Mini Scavenger . Like his siblings and Roger , Rowan was good at fixing starships and put these skills to good use when he joined the Rebel Alliance . As his Force powers grew , Rowan was able to use the Force to repair starships and even to hurl bombs . Rowan later learned how to levitate objects with the Force . Despite his lightsaber skills , Rowan was outmatched by the gadgets of the Imperial hunter droid M - OC . He also once experienced a Force vision of himself building a ship known as the " Arrowhead " . Rowan was not a skilled pilot and Roger once negatively likened his flying abilities to Zander . Though Rowan was still a novice Jedi and Force Builder , he was able to use the Force to leap from various vines at the Tower of Aliston Nor while simultaneously protecting Quarrie and Roger and fighting M - OC . By the time of the Mygetto mission to obtain embersteel wings , Rowan ' s piloting skills had improved and he flew the " StarScavenger " during a dogfight against Graballa ' s starfighters . Rowan was able to use the Force to levitate heavy objects including a Corellian Defender and a metal pole . He used a metal pole to electrocute M - OC . Rowan also could hurl his lightsaber in a boomerang wave . Behind the scenes . Rowan Freemaker is voiced by child actor Nicolas Cantu .
