During their resistance to the Imperial presence on their homeworld of Aridus, a band of Chubbits ambushed an Imperial hover-train passing through the desert. However, the Chubbits were outmatched. Fortunately for their side, the Human Rebel Alliance hero Luke Skywalker and his protocol droid, C-3PO, witnessed the ambush as it progressed. Skywalker and the droid joined the assault, hurling bags of proton grenades at the train and destroying it.
