A garbled communication is intercepted from Yoda. A few locations and people can be made out, but no full sentences, except for one, right at the end:
"Nothing is what it seems to be"
Two young Jedis go on an epic quest to uncover the secrets and put a stop to whatever nefarious plans might be being hatched.
