Plot summary
On Geonosis, General Maximilian Veers and his stormtroopers begin building an army of battle droids using components from the recycled droids and B1 battle droid stocks at the droid foundries. As C-3PO, R2-D2, Chewbacca, Lando Calrissian, and Ten Numb await disintegration, 3PO pleads with General Veers not to remake him as a battle droid. The General is unmoved and suggest that 3PO would like to go first. He then leaves and orders his men to guard the prisoners.

R2 then convinces 3PO to distract the stormtroopers by telling them stories while he uses his fusion welder to melt his chains. C-3PO regales the stormtroopers with the "real story behind the Battle of Endor". C-3PO retells the story of the rebels' plan to free Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt's Palace on Tatooine. In this version, a blind Han accidentally walks into Jabba; awakening the Hutt and his entourage. Luke Skywalker then enters the palace and uses the Force to levitate two of Jabba's Gamorrean guards in an attempt to reason with the crime lord into freeing them. However, Jabba decides to feed them to the sarlacc at the Great Pit of Carkoon.

In 3PO's version of the attempt, the rebels are aided by several characters including Qui-Gon Jinn and Watto. R2 still fires new lightsaber but it falls into the sarlacc's mouth. However, the sarlacc spits it out and the ricocheting lightsaber knocks out several of Jabba's henchmen. Luke manages to catch the lightsaber this time and frees his friends. R2 also uses his electric pole to sting Salacious B. Crumb, causing him to fall directly into the sarlacc's mouth. Lando also falls in but is pulled out by Han and an Ithorian.

Luke also falls into Jabba's mouth but Leia and 3PO free the Jedi by strangling Jabba to death. Leia then destroys Jabba's sail barge with the ship's cannon before the rebels flee the scene on one of the remaining desert skiffs. Boba Fett manages to clamber out of the sarlacc's mouth only to be knocked back into the pit by a falling Jabba. Once in space, the rebels split up with Luke and R2 going to see Master Yoda while 3PO and the others head back to the rebel fleet.

On Dagobah, Luke learns from Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi that Vader is indeed his father and that Leia is his sister. At the rebel meeting, Admiral Ackbar comes up with a plan to destroy Death Star II by sending a strike team led by Han to destroy the shield generator on Endor. Luke accompanies the strike mission but is fearful of endangering the mission. During the speeder bike chase, C-3PO rides on R2-D2 who refuels Luke's bike. In the end, Luke, Leia, and the droids end up peddling a bike through the forests. The rebels then fall into an Ewok trap.

Meanwhile at Death Star II, two Lego workers haggle over the colors of the bricks used to construct the superweapon. In the Emperor's Throne Room, Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader discuss their plan to lure Luke and the rebels into a trap. Meanwhile, Calrissian and the rebel fleet travel to Endor. Back on Endor, the Ewoks think that 3PO is a god but intend to boil his companions in a cauldron. Luke convinces the Ewoks to let them go by using the Force to play several magician's tricks on the Ewoks. Luke then leaves to confront Vader but not before revealing to Leia that they are his children. In space, Jar Jar Binks is seen floating in zero gravity space. In the Death Star, Palpatine meets Luke and reveals his plan to trap the rebels. Han Solo's strike team is surrounded by several AT-ST walkers while the rebel fleet discovers the shield generator is still operational.
