== Premise ==
Set a year after the events of The Rise of Skywalker, the Resistance, including Rey and Finn, is under the leadership of Finias Ninfleet, who makes the crew aware of both a supernatural anomaly deep in space and a Sith terrorist organisation called the First Solution, led by the maniacal Hyadum Fleck, set on killing the last Jedi and resurrecting the First Order. But in an effort to prevent Fleck's plans, Rey and Finn get pulled into the maw of the anomaly: a rift in time, sending them face to face with the Jedi of the galaxy's past. But while Rey is hoping to get back to the Resistance as soon as possible, Finn sees the time rift as an opportunity to find out where he came from.
