“A Mission to Remember”

The lost droid

The episode opens with Jedi younglings Lys Solay, Nubs and Kai Brightstar exiting Hap’s Sap Tap after enjoying a meal of Mossberry Biscuits. A small droid runs past them and collides with an Ardennian before crashing into a box of purple fruits. Brightstar and his friends attend to the droid, who says that he cannot remember what it was doing. The droid introduces himself as MB-4. Brightstar inspects the droid’s scorched head and assesses that its memory circuit has been damaged. He offers to help repair the droid while Nubs and Solay back him up.

When Solay offers to help MB-4 get home, the droid says that he cannot remember where it is. Brightstar asks the droid why he was in a big rush. MB-4 recalls that he was being pursued by a thief. Shortly later, Emmett arrives on a hoverbike and attempts to snatch MB-4. Brightstar pulls him out of the way, causing Emmett to crash his bike into a pile of boxes. Solay recognizes Emmett as the thief who tried to steal the Tenoo Jedi Temple’s dunnels. Emmett admits to the attempted theft and announces his intention to take MB-4.

Brightstar and his friends flee with MB-4 through the streets of Kublop Springs. Solay proposes getting out of town while Brightstar suggests losing him in town. The three Jedi younglings and MB-4 depart on speeder bikes with Emmett following on his hoverbike. The trio race through the packed streets, dodging pedestrians and clothes lines. Solay is splattered by mossberries and Nubs is briefly covered by a sheet. Nubs tosses the sheet off into the path of Emmett, who collides with a landspeeder. The landspeeder driver berates Emmett, who tells him to watch where he is going.

Forest flight

Emmett’s associates Chipp and Z-3OR contact him via holoprojector. Emmett tells them that he has not captured the droid yet but will need his help in dealing with some Jedi kids. The Jedi younglings take their speeder bikes and MB-4 into the Tenoo tree forest. Solay is alright but is splattered with mossberries. Nubs also complaints in Poobian, prompting Brightstar to apologize. After coming to a stop near a river, Brightstar and Solay ask MB-4 if he can remember where he can live. The river does not joggle MB-4’s memories but he recalls that they live by the forest.

Gazing at the waterfall, MB-4 recalls that his home is near a tall tree that has three waterfalls. Nubs thinks that MB-4 lives in Conjyym Valley while Solay translates. Not knowing the way, Nubs climbs up a Tenoo tree to have a look at the surroundings. Solay and Brightstar follow with the latter giving MB-4 a piggy back ride. Meanwhile, Emmett and his associates enter the forest on their hoverbikes. Emmett studies the forest with a pair of macrobinoculars. Emmett is frustrated with Chipp but Z-3OR senses a commotion in a nearby Tenoo tree. The three descend into the forest.

Elsewhere, the Jedi younglings and MB-4 reach the canopy of the Tenoo tree. MB-4 and the younglings spot the tall three with the three waterfalls in the distance. However, Emmett and his gang catch up with them. Against Brightstar’s warnings, Nubs charges at the bandits with his lightsaber. Emmett however uses his rope gun to bind him in a rope trap. Solay charges forward with her lightsaber but is also trapped by Emmett. Brightstar charges at Emmett but is also trapped and restrained. While MB-4 attempts to free the Jedi, Emmett mocks the Jedi and reveals that he wants MB-4 because he belongs to a prospector who owns gem mines. MB-4 knows the location of every mine on Tenoo.

Chipp adds that the gems from one mine will make them wealthy. As the bandits chuckle, Solay reveals that MB-4 experienced an accident while they were chasing him. Solay tells him that his memory is not working right. When MB-4 claims that he cannot remember, Emmett says that they will take him back to camp to coerce him into remembering.

Rescuing MB-4

After Emmett’s gang leaves with MB-4, Brightstar asks why they were not working like a team. Solay explains that they have been so focused on getting MB-4 home that they were not listening to each other. Nubs agrees. Brightstar says his friends are right and asks for ideas on rescuing MB-4. Solay manages to free one of her hands which she uses to untie Nubs from his ropes. Nubs frees Solay, who frees Brightstar. Seeing Emmett and his gang leaving on hoverbikes, Nubs proposes cutting them off by going through the forest. The three Jedi head towards their speeder bikes.

Later, Emmett gloats about his victory as they head back to camp. However, the three bandits soon find the three Jedi younglings blocking their path. When Emmett asks how they got there, Brightstar demands they return MB-4. Emmett and his gang retreat into the forest but argue about which way to go. Emmett and Chipp bang their hoverbikes against each other. With Chipp and Z-30R blocking Brightstar’s speeder bike, Brightstar tasks Solay and Nubs with distracting the two bandits and clear a path for him. Nubs and Solay tail Emmett’s accomplices while Brightstar pursues Emmett. MB-4 jumps into Brightstar’s speeder bike at his signal. Emmett crashes his hoverbike into a tree and falls into the river. Chipp and Z-30R give chase and attempt to grab MB-4. However, they grab each other instead and crash into the river. The three bandits cling onto a log, with Emmett cursing their misfortune.

MB-4’s homecoming

MB-4 thanks the Jedi younglings for saving him. The Jedi younglings bring him home to his master, the prospector Freet Chaddio. MB-4 asks if Chaddio is his master. Chaddio reassures his droid that he is the master and asks if MB-4 is alright. Solay explains that MB-4 had an accident in Kublop Springs and that his memory circuit needs to be repaired. Chaddio embraces MB-4 and introduces himself to the Jedi younglings. He asks the Jedi if he can repay them for rescuing his droid. Nubs speaks to Brightstar in Poobian. Brightstar asks for permission to see Chaddio’s mines. Chaddio grants permission for the younglings to view one of his mines.

“The Bounty Hunter and the Thief “

Ace and the squork

The episode opens with the Jedi Initiates Kai Brightstar, Lys Solay and Nubs teaming up with the bounty hunter Ansen Strung to rescue a Tooka, who has gotten stuck on top of a tree. The tooka belongs to a Talpiddian, who is worried about his pet. Solay approaches the tooka but the cat is frightened and retreats down a branch. However, the branch snaps. Strung uses his rocket boots to descend down and rescue the tooka before it falls to the ground. The Jedi younglings thank Strung for his help.

The Talpiddian is grateful to Strung, who reassures him that capturing creatures is what he does. The tooka takes a liking to Strung, who returns the creature to the Talpiddian. Shortly later, Brightstar is contacted via holoprojector by Ace Kallisto, who asks to speak with his friend Solay. Kallisto tells Solay that she is at the Kublop Springs spaceport where she is having trouble with a creature she is transporting. Solay offers to help due to her love for animals. Strung convinces the younglings to let him accompany them for the new mission.

Aboard Ace’s ship, Kallisto explains that she is transporting a marine reptile known as a squork, which Solay recognizes from her Galactic Creature Guide as rare amphibious lizards that are very fast. Brightstar remarks that the lizard doesn’t look very fast. When Strung asks what she did to it, Kallisto asks who the Dowutin is. Strung introduces himself as a former bounty hunter who now tracks creatures for a living. Kallisto introduces herself, adding that she is not the biggest fan of bounty hunters.

Tooba Jinx strikes again

Kallisto is concerned that the squork has been acting tired since she brought it onboard. Solay notices that the room is cold and says that squorks like it warmer. Soaly raises the tank’s temperature, which makes it more energetic. Kallisto is pleased. Unknown to everyone, Kallisto’s Gungan former crew member Tooba Jinx is watching the ship, with plans to steal the squork in order to make money. Realizing that Kallisto is not alone, he decides to create a distraction.

Seeing a Gonk droid walking nearby, he knocks it over, causing the droid to tip over several crates. While the Jedi younglings, Kallisto and Strung rush outside to help the Gonk droid, Jink infiltrates the ship and steals the squork from its tank. He places the squork inside a portable fish tank and scurries away. Meanwhile, the Jedi younglings and their friends help the Gonk droid, which thanks them in Binary. Solay tells the droid that it is welcome.

Returning to the ship, the Jedi younglings and their friends realize it is missing. Solay thinks the squork has snuck out while Kallisto says they have to search the spaceport. Solay offers the services of Strung as a creature tracker but Kallisto is skeptical about working with bounty hunters. She reacts with distaste when Strung crawls onto all fours while searching for squork. He finds a trail of water which leads to the river. Using a pair of macrobinoculars, Kallisto sees Jinx emerging from the river with the squork in his fish tank bagpack. Kallisto realizes that Jinx must have tracked her to Tenoo.

Pursuit

Solay is relieved that the squork is safe but Kallisto warns that Squork will sell it to someone. Brightstar resolves to stop Jinx. He borrows two speeder bikes from a Mon Calamari youngling and Rodian youngling, explaining that it is for “official Jedi business.” The Mon Calamari and Rodian younglings oblige. The Jedi younglings ride one speeder bike while Kallisto and Strung ride the second one. Seeing the Jedi and their friends approaching, Jinx flees on his own speeder bike. During the pursuit, Kallisto and Strung argue about steering the bike and narrowly avoid colliding with the roots of a Tenoo tree.

Meanwhile, the Jedi pursue Jinx in their speeder bike. Brightstar uses their speeder bike to jerk Jinx’s speeder, causing it to spin out of control and crash. He flees with the stolen squork through the roots of a Tenoo tree. The Jedi younglings and the adults pursue Jinx on foot. He approaches his starship, which lies beneath a waterfall. As they approach the Gungan, Kallisto warns Strung not to underestimate Jinx but Strung chafes under her. Jinx jumps down the waterfall and crosses the river towards his ship.

The Jedi younglings are unable to Force jump since the waterfall is too high. Seeing Strung’s jet boots, Brightstar proposes that Strung fly them down with his jet boots. Kallisto doubts that Strung will be able to carry all of them and criticises his jet boots. Brightstar and Solay tell the adults to put aside their differences and work together to stop Jink from kidnapping the squork. Strung reluctantly carries the younglings and Kallisto down with difficulty to the forest clearing below.

Working together

As a tired Jinx approaches his starship with the stolen squork, Kallisto catches up with him on foot. Jinx is surprised that she got down here and remotely opens his starship’s canopy. She grabs the fish tank backpack and the two engage in a tug of war. The fish tank backpack lands on the grass and the squork jumps out. The younglings and adults pursue the squork, which dodges them using its fast reflexes. The squork runs circles around Nubs and Brightstar. Jinx tries to catch it but it escapes his grasp. Kallisto and Strung also struggle to catch the nimble reptile. Solay tries to reason with the creature while Jinx demands that the squok come with him.

The squork races onto the river and walks on water. The Jedi react with shock. Jinx pursues the squork into the river with the Jedi younglings following suit. Kallisto warns that they will not outswim a Gungan. After some discussion with Strung, they come up with a plan for the Dowutin to carry her while he fires up his rocket boots. Kallisto initially falls off but Strung pulls her to safety. Working together, Kallisto retrieves the squork with the help of Strung. A defeated Jinx climbs out of the river. The younglings and Kallisto tell him to beat up.

Jinx accepts defeat but warns that they will not be so lucky next time. He departs in his starship as Kallisto and the Jedi younglings bid him farewell. Later, Solay returns the squork to his tank aboard Kallisto’s starship. Kallisto looks forward to returning the squork to her friend. Speaking with Strung, she says that not all former bounty hunters are bad. Strung jokes about not pushing it while the others laugh.
