[CLATTERING]

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

I thought this was the Aces' Lounge,

home of the best pilots in the galaxy.

So why all the long faces?

Were you sleeping at our last fight?

The First Order nearly
blew us all out of the sky.

What? Okay, so maybe
we were barely defeated.

But come on. Guys.

Freya's right, Hype.

Fighting the First Order
is not like fighting pirates.

Which is why we're adjusting.

Besides, it's not like
they're gonna chase us forever.

Oh, yes, they will.

I was with the Empire.
I know how their kind thinks.

The First Order won't stop
until they've got

every one of us in detention cells.

I see you are all concerned about

the same things that I am.

You've all done a valiant job

protecting this platform
all these years.

But it is clear we're outmatched

by a new kind of enemy.

Thankfully, there are ways that we can

prepare ourselves for this conflict.

Captain, what are you saying?

That we run drills?

Ha! We're Ace pilots.

It doesn't get better than us.

Yes, when it comes to racing,
I agree with you.

But when it comes
to ship-to-ship combat,

you have much to learn.

That's why we are lucky to have
a m*llitary trained pilot

and a Commander with
many years of experience.

Allow me to introduce you
to your new squadron leader,

Jarek Yeager.

And your newest member
of the Ace Squadron.

Hey, guys.

Kaz? Wha...

Are you kidding me?

♪ ♪

I'll leave you all
to get reacquainted.

Much appreciated, Captain Doza.

Yes.

It's great to finally be on
the same team, right, Hype?

Put it there?

All right, I'll just...

pull it back.

We'll get there.

Oh, no, we won't.

I mean, you may have gotten me
out of a couple of tight spots,

but that doesn't make you an Ace.

And as for you, "squad leader"...

I don't remember signing up
for the Resistance.

I'm not asking you to.

I'm asking you to protect our home,

like you've always done.

Do you want a repeat of last time?

Hype, if Yeager
can make us better pilots,

we should give him a chance.

And since I've had
years of combat training

with the New Republic Navy,

I'm happy to offer some pointers.

I was, actually, top of my class.

Yeah, well, Hype Fazon will always

be at the top of this class.

[SLURPS]

And you'll be at
the bottom, Kaztastrophe.

[ENGINES WHOOSHING]

Tam. Gaava. Come on!

New pilots are already
at the bottom of the heap.

We're running late!

Just stop complaining
and move, Rucklin.

You were the one who
couldn't find your helmet.

[TENSE MUSIC]

♪ ♪

I see some of us lack
the professionalism

to wear their complete uniform.

You haven't earned
the privilege of being seen.

I'm sorry, Lieutenant Galek.

You are here to hone
your skills as pilots.

My job is to train you.

Your job is to follow my commands.

Is that clear?

ALL: Sir, yes, sir!

All pilots prepare your ships.

You will start
your first exercise shortly.

[CLEARS THROAT] Lieutenant Galek?

DT- is it?

Yes, sir.

Did you not hear my command, cadet?

All pilots to your ships.

Move!

Yes, sir.

[RUMBLING]

[BEEPING]

[BEEPING]

That's my seat.

Oh. Apologies, Bo.

I will just eat my meal over here,

with the droids.

Yay, I'm back in flight school.

I hope this isn't boring.

We couldn't brief somewhere nicer?

Like our hangar.

Quiet! I know you
don't want to be here,

and, believe me, it's not
my first choice either.

But this isn't about what we want;

it's about surviving.

So I thought it'd be best
to get a sense

of each other's combat skills.

There's an ice moon nearby.

It's small, uninhabited;

the perfect place for a skirmish.

We will disable all
w*apon systems on the ships

and use stun only during the training.

We'll have two teams:
Kaz and myself...

versus everyone else.

[LAUGHS]

You can't be serious, Yeager.

'Cause there's no way you can
b*at all of us.

[LAUGHS]

Well, then I won't have
to wish you luck.

♪ ♪

So... where is this great
fighter pilot anyway?

They just told us to be ready.

You never know when
the enemy is going to att*ck.

Ha! Hype Fazon is always ready.

Yeah, just make sure
you help cover me.

When you're in a battle, we
gotta watch each other's back.

Hey, you watch my back.

♪ ♪

I didn't know Imperial pilots

were so concerned
about one another, Griff.

Yeah. We weren't. That's why we lost.

Well, you better get ready
to lose again because...

Hype!

I thought I told you all
to be prepared.

Like Griff said,
we gotta cover each other.

Agreed.

Whatever, just don't crowd me.

Look out, Kaz. You've got a tail.

You wanna help with that, partner?

Just lead the way.

♪ ♪

[RUMBLING]

♪ ♪

What the?

Eyes open, Hype. Always.

[GRUMBLES]

Okay, so now it's my fault
we were tagged out?

Yes! You broke up the formation.

He was being a good racer,

which makes him a bad combat pilot.

Racers only think about themselves.

But good combat pilots survive
by working as a team.

Are you crazy?

I thought you wanted to make me
a better pilot.

If you just want to chain me
to these sea slugs...

forget it, I'm out!

Hey!

[BEEPING]

[GRUMBLES]

[BEEPING]

Oh, yeah, you totally showed
those moof brains.

[BEEPING]

Aunt Z, give me
the spiciest drink you got.

On the house, pal.

Mmm!

Uh, Z... this is water.

Yeah, and if we don't resupply soon,

I'm gonna start charging for it, too.

You got off easy this time.

Hey, Hype. Sticking to water?

That's good. Hydration's important.

Look, I just want to say
you did what any cadet would.

Uh, not that I'm calling you a cadet,

or a rookie.

Um, I mean, I am, but, uh...

Okay, look. We don't know
each other very well, Hype,

but I believe we both wanna protect

the Colossus, and...

You know what I believe?

I believe it's your fault
that Tam left.

And now that I'm getting
to know you better,

I don't blame her.

[STAMMERING] Well, I don't
know why you're bringing

Tam into this, but...

Okay, okay.
You see this antenna twitching?

This means I'm upset. So leave.

All right. Uh, take it easy!

I'm going. I'm going.

[BEEPING]

Ugh... Hey, Torra.

I don't need a lecture
from you either, Torra.

Even if I'm on your side
no matter what?

Look, Hype, you want to stay? Great.

You want to leave? Fine.

That's not gonna change
what I think of you.

Really? You really mean that?

I mean, I thought you were mad at me

just like everyone else.

I'm not mad at you.

In fact, you wanna know something?

I'm scared.

The pirates were one thing,
but those First Order pilots...

they're coming after
you, me, and everyone

on this platform.

Yeah, I know.

It's just like the Empire
when I was a kid.

I understand.

But think about it, Hype.

You already had a chance to run,

and you came back.

And the fact is, we're all stronger

when we're together, and I'm stronger

with you on my wing.

You really want a wingmate

who doesn't want to be a wingmate?

As long as it's you.

But either way,
it kind of works out for me.

If you leave, I'll definitely
be the best pilot

on the platform.

Now you're just being nice.

First time for everything.

[ENGINES WHOOSHING]

Pilots, this will be
a live-fire exercise.

There are no stun blasts in battle.

Whoever destroys the most drones

will become squad leader.

Begin.

All right, Tam, you've got this.

The exercise is complete.

All right, we're gonna try this again.

I want three pairs,
one wingmate and one lead.


This time focus on working
together as a team.

Because the last pair standing wins.

So who has the honor
of teaming up with me?

It's true; Hype Fazon has returned!

Ugh. Look who's back.
