Plot summary

Mission to Batuu

The Jedi younglings Kai Brightstar, Lys Solay and Nubs travel to Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu with their new astromech droids Dozer, Gigi and Beepers on a mission to deliver a package to Jedi Master Carver Drow. The three droids are curious and excited about their surroundings. Dozer accidentally knocks over a bowl of fruit, unsettling a Mon Calamari merchant.

Gigi startles a human girl and a human male vendor by detaching his drone and toppling some containers. Dozer runs circles around a labor droid, causing it to go dizzy. Brightstar remarks that the droids are already distracted while Solay thinks the droids are just excited to see Batuu. Nubs says something in Poobian. Brightstar reminds his friends to stay focused while Solay tries to remind the three astromechs to focus on their mission.

The lost package

However, the six are distracted by a green-skinned alien vendor who demonstrates juggling balls. The alien allows Brightstar to practise juggling balls, causing him to put down the blue package he intends to deliver to Master Drow near a trash can. A trash collector droid arrives in a trash hauler to empty the trash can. He accidentally picks up the blue package that Brightstar was carrying. After returning the balls to the vendor, Brightstar and the others discover that the package is missing.

Solay deduces that someone must have mistaken it for trash while Brightstar says this is why they need to stay focus on the mission. He decides that they should find the trash collector in order to retrieve the package. Solay suggests they split up to cover more ground. The group splits in three pairs. Dozer and Nubs reach a trash bin. While waiting for a trash collector, Dozer is distracted by a floating pink flower, which he and Dozer chase. Due to their distraction, the two of them miss the trash collector droid emptying the bin. They spot the package in the trash hauler just as it leaves. The two run after the vehicle.

A frantic Nubs contacts Solay via comlink, telling her they got distracted and miss the trash hauler. Solay says that she and Gigi will keep an eye out for the trash hauler and take positions in the opposite sites of a bridge connecting two buildings. Gigi detaches her drone but gets distracted by a four-winged kroa bird. Solay also spots the bird and is excited because they can only be found on Batuu. While the two are distracted, the trash hauler passes under the bridge. Solay sighs while Gigi sulks. Solay reassures Gigi that they can still count on Brightstar and Beepers.

Meanwhile, Brightstar and Beepers take an interest in a rare white and blue starship from Variax. Solay contacts Brightstar and warns him that the trash hauler is coming their way. The two spot the trash hauler passing through the street below and follow it on foot, bumping into a loader droid. Nubs and Dozer bump into Brighstar and Beepers, causing Dozer to hit the vehicle.

The kindly trash collector droid

The concerned trash collector droid exits the trash hauler and checks on Dozer, who is unharmed. Brightstar and Solay explain that he may have accidentally picked up a package in his trash hauler. The trash collector droid recalls encountering such a package but says that it may have been sent to the dump already. He explains that everything that goes into the dump gets recycled. He apologizes but Brightstar apologizes for not looking after the package. Dozer apologizes on behalf of his droid friends. Nubs says they got distracted and Solay says that they got excited about visiting Batuu.

The trash collector droid says that Batuu is a beautiful place. Brightstar asks the droid if he could take them to the dump so that they can search for the package and deliver it to Master Drow. The other Jedi younglings and droids agree. The kindly trash collector droid takes them to the rubbish dump where they see a magnetic crane sifting metal objects which are then crushed and compressed by other machinery. A claw stacks the trash cubes into piles.

Junkyard adventure

Working together, the younglings and droids resume their search for the package. Gigi spots the package but is unable to stop it from being caught by the magnetic crane, which lifts the object onto the conveyer belt towards the smasher. Beeper offers to fly Brightstar to the conveyer belt. While flying, Beeper is caught by the magnet while Brightstar lands on the conveyer belt system. Solay gets Nubs and Dozer to clear a path to the control panel by moving crates. They reach the panel where Nubs tosses an object.

Solay fiddles with the controls, causing the magnet to spin. She presses another button which causes the mechanical claw to wave. Solay spots a computer board and convinces Gigi to connect to the computer in order to switch off the magnet. Brightstar runs on the conveyer belt after Beepers. Solay tasks him with retrieving the package while Dozer is tasked with reversing the conveyer belt before the passage gets to the smasher. He activates the wrong conveyer belt.

Brightstar reaches the package just as it approaches the smashing machine. Gigi manages to deactivate the magnet, allowing Beeper to race towards Brightstar. While the others watch tensely, Brightstar rides on Beeper and manages to retrieve the package just seconds before it is crushed by the smashing machine. Brightstar and Beeper circle before landing near the others, who congratulate them. Brightstar remarks that Black Spire Outpost is exciting while Beeper whistles.

Better late than never

Later that evening, Master Drow waits beside a stall while munching on a sausage roll. He is relieved to see the younglings with the package. Solay hands him the package while Brightstar apologizes that they got distracted and that the package accidentally got lost. Drow is pleased the younglings succeeded with their mission and learnt a valuable lesson along the way.

Nubs is curious about the package and Drow reveals that it is a plant nestled inside a glass ball. He explains that it is a Tenoo tree sprout which Master Zia Zaldor Zanna wanted to give him as an experiment. Drow explains that they are growing all sorts of plants from across the galaxy on Batuu. As Master Drow heads back to the Batuu Jedi temple, the younglings take the droids on a tour of Black aspire Outpost. Solay and Brightstar decide to show them the town’s spires while recounting their adventure with Ozon Nimbee.
