The Inquisitor known as the Third Sister then threw a knife at the owner, forcing the Jedi fugitive Nari to reveal himself among the patrons when he used the Force to stop the weapon in mid-air. Having found their quarry, the Inquisitors closed in, but after the Grand Inquisitor stopped the Third Sister from executing Nari, the Jedi fled from the saloon and the Imperials gave chase, leaving Cryko and the others in their seats. Cryko later walked past the Jedi-in-hiding Obi-Wan Kenobi while carrying a container outside a checkpoint at Mos Eisley spaceport.
