"Princess!"
She can hear Jax shouting but her life depends on swinging her lightsaber as much as she can. Suddenly a gust of air knocks against her side and she swings her lightsaber around trying to steady herself.
"Princess!"
This time she opens her eyes and the lack of blaster explosions in front of her face jolts her into halting mid-swing. The smoke is pushed up to the far corners of the room. The owners of the nametags materialize in front of them in the center. At their feet are clumps of black smoking metal.

No way, are those their blasters? That's impossible!

There's a metallic click and then the tall gray bipedal droid's monotone voice declares "Life signs detected, Captain. Two organics."
"I can see that for myself, Enkay!" The human huddled in the middle raises his hands and pushes back further as the tip of Cady's humming lightsaber blade almost slices his chest.
"I thought you said there would only be one kid with a lightsaber!"
<span class="mu-i">
That's a Devaronian! My first meeting with an alien species! One of the most well-known aspects of the Star Wars setting is its wide variety of aliens! He looks a little too young to be a pirate! I don't know if he should really be calling me a kid! Is he even older than Cady?

"Princess?" She realizes Jax is talking to her and she looks up, as the three pirates take another step back away from her pink lightsaber blade. "It seems like we won." When Jax raises his own lightsaber's blue blade toward the three disarmed pirates, they cluster tighter against one another. "Now, the question is, who did we beat?"
"I'll never talk!" The human man's eyes dart toward the droid. "Don't tell them anything, Enkay. Not even your model name."
Cady waves her lightsaber blade toward him. "That's Mako Rake. And that's a Devaronian named Beldar Fazz. The droid is Five-El-En-Kay."
The droid makes a click. "I was loyal to the end, Captain."
The Devaronian's eyes widen when he hears his name. "They're not really Jedi, are they?"
"Mako?" Jax tilts his head at Cady and looks back across his lightsaber's blade at their captives. "Are you sure?"
<span class="mu-i">
He's never going to believe any of this isekai stuff!
</span>
"Um..." Cady glances down at the pirates' nametags. "That's what the Force is telling me?"
Jax gives a satisfied nod. "I knew you were strong in the Force!"
The adrenaline rushing through her veins has run its course. Her lightsaber blade dips toward the floor and she takes a step backward to steady herself.
