The Agarian and the Holocron
Character Episode – The Shattered Balance (WEG 1E)
🎬 SCENE 1 — THE ARRIVAL
Read Aloud:
The wind carries sand across the landing platforms in thin, whispering sheets.
A flickering sign buzzes overhead—half the letters burned out.
Inside, the cantina hums with noise.
A loudspeaker crackles:
“Star Tours shuttle to Mesa 291… delayed…”
At the entrance, a figure sits in shadow.
A legless Bothan beggar.
Head down.
Still.
Then—
A faint mechanical whir.
The beggar rises.
Metal limbs snap into place with a sharp, insect-like precision.
He runs.
Gone into the crowd.
No one reacts.
No one notices.
🎲 Force Check (Perception – Moderate 13)
Success (Read):
Something about that moment clings to you… like a thread pulled tight and then cut.
Failure (Read):
Just another desperate soul in a desperate place.
🎬 SCENE 2 — INSIDE THE CANTINA
Read Aloud:
The air inside is thick with heat, spice, and recycled moisture.
Cheap holo-projectors flicker to life on every table.
A cheerful voice chirps:
“WOOKIE BURGERS — No translator needed. Hunger is universal.”
The image loops.
Over.
And over.
And over.
No one is really watching.
No one cares.
And then—
You see something that doesn’t belong.
🎬 SCENE 3 — FIRST SIGHT OF JED
Read Aloud:
Standing quietly near the edge of the room is a being unlike anything you’ve seen before.
Tall.
Still.
Its body resembles layered bark and living fiber.
Its head… a wide, softly glowing fungal cap.
It does not move.
But you can almost hear it.
A faint tone.
Like distant music.

🎬 SCENE 4 — THE GAMORREAN
Read Aloud:
A heavy shape pushes through the crowd.
A Gamorrean.
Armor patched. Breath heavy.
A blaster in his hand.
He steps up to the Agarian.
Shoves it.
Hard.
“You don’t belong here.”
The blaster rises.
Presses into the Agarian’s chest.
The music stops.
🎬 SCENE 5 — PLAYER CHOICE
🕊️ If Peaceful (Read):
The tension hangs like a blade.
The Gamorrean grunts.
Eyes narrow.
Then—
He spits to the side.
“Not worth it.”
He backs off.
The crowd resumes.
Like nothing happened.
🔫 If Violent (Read):
The cantina explodes into motion.
Blaster fire cracks.
Tables overturn.
Someone screams.
The Gamorrean roars—
Then falls.
Silence returns in pieces.
🎬 SCENE 6 — THE TOUCH
Read Aloud:
The Agarian turns toward you.
Slowly.
Deliberately.
A tendril extends.
Soft.
Organic.
It touches your hand.
🎬 SCENE 7 — THE VISION
Read Aloud (slowly):
The world shatters.
Color floods everything.
Impossible color.
You are no longer in the cantina.
You are standing—
In a forest of living light.
Towering mushrooms stretch into infinity.
Each one glowing.
Breathing.
Singing.
The Agarian stands beside you.
Now clear.
Now understood.

Musical tones
Emotional impressions
Curiosity → Recognition → Urgency
🎬 SCENE 8 — THE MEMORY OF LATW
Read Aloud:
The vision shifts.
Darkness.
Fire.
Screams.
Figures bound.
A Sith stands over them.
Red blade burning.
Then—
A figure steps forward.
Cloaked.
Silent.
A blade ignites—
Neon yellow.
The fight is swift.
Precise.
Decisive.
The Agarians are freed.
The name echoes—
Not spoken.
Felt.
Latw
🎬 SCENE 9 — THE REVELATION
Read Aloud:
The Agarian turns to you.
The music changes.
Focused.
Intent.
You feel it.
Clear as truth.
You are not alone.
You are not finished.
You need a master.
🎬 SCENE 10 — THE GIFT
Read Aloud:
Between you—
Light forms.
Solidifies.
A cube.
Blue.
Ancient.
A Jedi Holocron.
It hums.
Waiting.
🎁 Jed’s Charge (Impression):
Find… Latw.
🎬 SCENE 11 — RETURN TO REALITY
Read Aloud:
The world snaps back.
The cantina.
The noise.
The smell.
Your hand—
Empty.
Then—
You see it.
On the table.
A small Agarian.
No taller than your hand.
Looking up at you.
🎬 SCENE 12 — ESCALATION
Read Aloud:
The doors slam open.
Stormtroopers enter.
Blasters ready.
Scanning.
“No one move.”

“Star Tours shuttle now boarding for Mesa 291…”
A pause.
Then:
“Final boarding call.”

Now.
