With the lacklustre response to recent fare such as The Mandalorian and Grogu, it's easy to feel like Star Wars might have lost its vision. That couldn't be further from the truth though if The Ninth Jedi, an anime spinoff from Star Wars: Visions, is anything to go by.
Seven episodes in, Kara is finally reunited with Lah Zima, but there's no time to rejoice. Nawaam has got his hands on a giant kyber crystal that he's transformed into an even bigger cannon that will tear a hole in the galaxy itself.
The Ninth Jedi ending explained: Does Zima defeat Nawaam?
Kara and her friends board Nawaam's ship with her father, while local resistance forces launch an outside attack.
The 'bad guy' ship emergency lands on the planet of Hy Izlan, but the cannon remains intact, so preparations are made to charge it up and fire at the 'good guys'.
Nawaam leaves the control room to "take care of" the intruders personally as "a mark of respect." That's when Kara's dad, Zima, shows up to take him on.
Kara sees them fighting then, or at least senses it through the Force, as the pair clash over their different philosophies.
Zima continues to plead with his former student of sorts, trying to sway him from this path.
Do they stop the kyber cannon in time?
Kara holds Nawaam back as Ethan, Homen and Bee-Toh head to the cannon. By the time they reach it, the weapon is already half charged and their attempts to hack the system don't work.
Eventually, Ethan figures out how to chip away at the crystal with a lightsaber handle, and the group gets to work.
Droids tell Bhozn, Nawaam's second-in-command, that the engines have been destroyed, and their communication systems won't last much longer either. Sucks to be a bad guy, eh? But what about the biggest bad of all?
Does Kara defeat Nawaam?
"Leaders who control without compassion are doomed to be overthrown," says Kara as they fight, telling Nawaam that he's still just a little boy inside. And that "state of nothingness" he's been so desperate to achieve? It's a lie.
"Your notions of light and dark are nothing but antiquated nonsense that will never bring stability to the galaxy," insists Nawaam, believing neutrality is key. To him, the Jedi are weak because their empathy distracts them from their goals.

And with that, Nawaam remains on the ground, all mopey. But is he dead? That out-of-body experience sure was odd. Luckily, the answer to that comes at the very end.
Why does Zima let Nawaam go?
Everyone happily reunites and then we jump ahead to an unspecified point in the near future when the gang meet around a ceremonial table in a grand hall. Each of them wears a fancy white cloak with red embroidery, including Juro who shows up as a Force ghost.
It seems they have all taken a leadership role on the planet, working to help the inhabitants move forward following Nawaam's attack.
In the show's final moments, we discover that Nawaam is alive in a prison cell. Zima visits him, but instead of just gloating from outside, he switches off the cell that holds Nawaam and hands him a lightsaber.
Assuming that's true, why would he do such a thing? That question applies to both parties by the way. Why would Zima free Nawaam after all the trouble he caused? And why would Nawaam murder Zima after he went to the trouble of releasing him?
Perhaps Zima felt guilty for inspiring Nawaam to go down the path he did? Perhaps they've been talking lots already and he sees a chance for redemption?
Either way, it looks like Kara's story isn't over just yet and a second season might indeed be part of the show's wider vision.
