Plot summary
Reunion with the Ku-Bops
The Jedi younglings Kai Brightstar, Lys Solay, and Nubs travel aboard Nash Durango's starship Crimson Firehawk to the snowy planet of Andraven to meet up with Durango's favorite band, the Ku-Bops. After landing, they are greeted by the Ku-Bops members Metz, Bruff and K1-T ("Kit"). Kit demonstrates their new song, revealing he can both DJ and play drums. At the stage, they are met by an Andraven manager, who tells the Ku-Bops that they have been scheduled to play last after another band called the Star Strummers.
Shortly later, the Star Strummers arrive to practice on the stage. The band consists of a Herglic named Aelos and a male humanoid with orange dreadlocks and big ears named Anora. Their joyful and upbeat music awes the Jedi younglings. While the Ku-Bops are fans of the Star Strummers, they also feel daunted by the more seasoned band. While the Jedi younglings and Durango are optimistic, Kit feels downcast about being outclassed by Anora. Durango offers to help the Ku-Bops set up their musical instruments and gear.
The missing drummer
While the others walk away, a downcast Kit is left behind. Unknown to the group, they are being watched by the rogue droidsmith Rek Minuu and one of his spider droids. Seeking to add Kit to his collection, Minuu offers to give Kit upgrades to become a better drummer than the Star Strummers. Kit accepts his offer.
Later, Durango and the Jedi younglings help the Ku-Bops assemble their equipment including a microphone, speaker, electric vioddle, rumble bass and drums. Durango is pleased that the set-up is proceeding but RJ-83 points out that Kit is missing. Metz and Bruff are concerned about their missing team mate. Just then, Brightstar sees Minuu escorting Kit into a vehicle. The Jedi younglings pursue Rek while Durango and RJ-83 stay behind to help the band set up their equipment. Brightstar promises Metz and Bruff that the Jedi younglings will bring back their team mate.
The Jedi younglings borrow some speeder bikes and follow Rek's trail to his starship. The Jedi younglings decide to sneak about Rek's starship to rescue Kit. While navigating through the starship's corridors, they hide while a repair droid passes by. Entering Minuu's workshop, they encounter Kit, who has been fitted with several musical instruments. Kit tells the Jedi younglings that he voluntarily accepted the upgrades because he wanted to become a better musician. Solay tells Kit that Bruff, Metz, and her Jedi friends think that he is perfect the way he is.
Kit agrees and the Jedi try to remove the upgrades but Minuu has screwed them to Kit's body. The younglings decide to take Kit to Solay and RJ-83 for help. While navigating through the ship's corridors, they see Minuu approaching. While the younglings hide inside a dumbwaiter, they use the Force to levitate RJ-83 so that he doesn't touch the ground and make a noise. When Minuu returns to the workshop with a kloo horn, he discovers that Kit is missing. The Jedi younglings and Kit escape Rek's starship in their speeder bikes. Seeing the Jedi leaving, Minuu and his security droids give chase in their speeder.
Showdown with Rek
At the stage, the Andraven manager convinces a reluctant Metz and Bruff to play a song since the crowd is going impatient. Before the Jedi younglings and Kit can reach the stadium, they are intercepted by Rek, who wants his new droid back. Solay counters that Kit belongs with his band. Meanwhile, Metz and Bruff decide to improvise by playing a song dedicated to Kit. The two also play their electric vioddles. When Kit expresses second thoughts about his deal with Rek, the incensed droidsmith orders his droids to seize him by force. While Nubs guides Kit onto the stage, Solay and Brightstar hold off Minuu's spider droids with their training lightsabers.
The tall blue security droid attempts to block Nubs but the youngling draws his lightsaber. Hearing the commotion, Durango and RJ-83 rush outside to help. Brightstar and Solay use their Force powers to hurl the spider droids aside. Nubs attempts to fend of the blue security droid with his lightsaber but the droid grabs Kit. Durango intervenes and hurls RJ-83 at the blue security droid. RJ-83 disables the security droid's rear button. Confronted by the Jedi younglings and Durango, Minuu concedes defeat and allows Kit to rejoin his friends. Durango offers to help repair Kit.
The drum solo and encore
Shortly later, Metz and Bruff find themselves unable to proceed with their song since the next act involves a drum solo. Metz is about to apologize but a rejuvenated Kit resurfaces, much to the delight of his band mates. Together, the trio complete their song while the younglings and the Andraven fans cheer. Following their performance, the two hug Kit.
After the concert, Solay explains that Kit went with Rek so he could get upgrades. Bruff apologizes to Kit for suggesting he was not perfect while Metz reassures Kit that he is perfect the way he is. Brightstar brings the Star Strummers who have come to say hi. Aelos and Anora praise the Ku-Bops for their performance with the drum solo. The Andraven manager invites the Ku-Bops to give an encore performance. The Ku-Bops decide to play another song and invite the Star Strummers to join them.
