While Lyco (Lane Factor) is stunned to learn his protector is Asajj Ventress (Nika Futterman), he continues on with her as the former Sith looks up an old acquaintance who might help them find other Jedi. Attempting to trade their skills for the info, the pair agree to help out the bounty hunter Latts Razzi (Clare Grant) and her droid in stealing from the Empire, at least until the heist goes sideways and Lyco learns the former Jedi-killer is far more trusting than a bounty hunter will to do whatever she can to make a buck. While providing a bit of action, the episode’s purpose to provide some trust between the unlikely pair is successfully.

An approvement over the original, Final Destination 2 brings back the same concept with a group of people avoiding death due to the premonition of one character. However, they are continued to be stalked by Death (who never takes physical form but attacks by putting complex sequences of events in motion) throughout the film one by one. As with the original, characters attempt to read the signs as to who is next on the hitlist and avoid their spot in line.
