Plot summary
At The Wheel, the Freemakers receive special visitors to their garage in the form of Luke Skywalker and his soon-to-be-revealed twin sister Leia Organa, who have escaped a quartet of TIE fighters through the surface of a moon. After a brief reminder from the spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi telling him to use the Force, Luke blasts a crater that destroys the remaining two fighters and his Y-wing is overheated, taking him to the Wheel.

Prior to Luke and Leia's arrival, Wick Cooper is successful in averting Zander Freemaker from his speeder bike and Naare departs a secret mission that does not involve Rowan Freemaker. Rowan is forbidden from his exposing his Force-sensitivity to anyone, including Mr. Cooper on the pretext that they will be exploited and/or he will be virtually exterminated by the Empire. Naare leaves just as Luke and Leia arrive at the Freemaker Garage in their Y-wing. Luke and Rowan introduce themselves just as the Freemakers receive a hologram message from the Imperial officer Estoc announcing that the Empire is searching for the current whereabouts of Luke and Leia. Kordi Freemaker coaxes an offer from Leia to pay her five times the price of her Y-wing.

Roger's antics of clumsily fiddling with the complex controls of the StarScavenger sends himself, Luke and Rowan into hyperspace. Meanwhile, the Freemakers hide Leia from Estoc by hiding her in a trash can. When Estoc and her stormtroopers approach, the Freemakers claim they are emptying the trash. At Estoc's prompting the Freemakers empty the trash into the incinerator. After Estoc leaves, the Freemakers pull Leia out of the incinerator and narrowly save her from being crushed with the trash; leading Leia to remark about her previous escape from a garbage chute aboard the Death Star.

Luke opens the doors and deactivates the hyperdrive, which sends the StarScavenger headed towards Felucia. His masterly landings and the revelation that he is a Jedi is enough to make Rowan ecstatic for questions. Roger, however, is disgruntled by this, even after he is consumed and spit out by a fly trap. Back on the Wheel, Leia, Kordi and Zander are on the run from the stormtroopers. Zander uses a probe droid to fling canisters at the stormtroopers while the girls take the elevator to the Upper Ring with the help of Leia's House of Organa card. There, after devouring a tray load of appetizers from a protocol droid, Kordi finds herself in the penthouse of Mr. Cooper and uses a plant pot to pass her off as a droid disguise.

Meanwhile, Naare lands the Eclipse Fighter at the Imperial Palace on Coruscant where she rendezvouses with Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader in his office and is questioned relentlessly about the Kyber Saber crystals in the form of a pop quiz. On Felucia, Luke uses the Force to repair a bulkhead on the StarScavenger and Rowan notices a unique type of flower blooming every time the Force comes within range of the buds. Roger regrets to inform the two Force-sensitive humans that an acklay is in possession of the ship's hyperdrive generator.

After a discriminating joke by Mr. Cooper that reminds her too much of the tragic day that saw her adoptive parents and fellow Alderaanians killed by the Death Star, Leia kicks the nobleman out of his penthouse, allowing Kordi to reveal herself. But this only causes Mr. Cooper, after discovering the real cleaning droids arrive, to alert the stormtroopers. On Felucia, later that night, Luke levitates the generator out of the pit while the acklay is sleeping it off. However, some rocks accidentally fall on the acklay and it awakens from its sleep. The three then run from the enraged acklay.

Back at the Wheel, Kordi and Leia hide in a diner and the princess saves Kordi from being arrested. Zander arrives in time to save the women via Mr. Cooper's speeder bike. Rowan, inspired by Luke's words of the Force acting as a natural order, uses flowers to lure the acklay away from the nest while Roger obtains the hyperdrive. He is soon swallowed for the third time by a fly trap and this only tests his patience.

With a Y-wing decoy intentionally destroyed by two TIE fighters, Kordi and Zander convince Estoc otherwise that Leia forced them to co-operate and she submits, celebrating her victory with the stormtroopers. Roger, Rowan and Luke return, but without a proper ship, they use one of Zander's Z-wings to leave. Sometime later, Naare returns as well, frustrated with her quiz and Rowan presents her with a flower that immediately wilts. Suspicions revolving around the false Jedi's true nature begin to click for the boy.
