Plot summary[]
The lightsaber demo[]
At Black Spire Outpost, Jedi Master Carver Drow leads a lightsaber demo with his Padawan Celesta Kami and Jedi Initiates Kai Brightstar. A small crowd of onlookers gathers. An orange-haired human girl named Sadie Bolter with a green toy lightsaber joins the crowd. An older purple-skinned Mirialan girl named Pak Relda blocks her from seeing the demo. Bolter climbs a stack of crates to watch the demonstration.
Brightstar, Solay and Nubs enjoy training with lightsaber forms while displaying their lightsaber skills. Bolter stands on top of the crate and mimics the Jedi's lightsaber moves with her toy lightsaber. Relda mocks her by pointing out that she is not wielding a real lightsaber, which upsets Bolter. Reld then departs. Following the Jedi training demo, Kami and the Jedi younglings get Master Drow's permission to get ronto wraps for snacks. Believing that she can be brave and stand up to Relda, Bolter decides to steal a lightsaber.
Stealing the lightsaber[]
After buying ronto wraps, the Jedi head back towards the Batuu Jedi temple. On the way, they visit a street animal stall. Solay stops to stroke a mammoth-like creature called a therii inside its pen. The Jedi also take an interest in other creatures being kept in cages including birds. While Solay is distracted with the therii, Bolter watches from a nearby crate. When the therii lunges for Solay's ronto wrap, Solay is startled and her lightsaber falls from a holster. While Solay fawns over the therii, Bolter steals her lightsaber and retreats.
Kami compliments Solay for making a new friend while Brightstar notices that her lightsaber is missing. Solay is startled and regrets not being mindful of her lightsaber. As they exit the animal stall, Solay notices Bolter, who flees. Kami sends Brightstar and Nubs to inform Master Drow while she helps Soaly. Solay flees down a flight of stairs and runs through a crowded marketplace, darting through the legs of a Toong man. Bolter sneaks through a bloc of crates and flees down a sewer tunnel.
From thief to friend[]
Unable to find Bolter, Solay and Kami think that the girl has circled back and leave the square. Bolter climbs out of the manhole and activates Solay's purple lightsaber. Pak Relda approaches Bolter, demanding that she hand it over to her. Bolter stands up to Relda, who reiterates her demand and towers over the younger girl. Bolter says that she won't let Pak boss her around anymore. However, Relda snatches it from Bolter and walks away with the blade. While scanning the roof, Solay expresses her fear about losing her lightsaber. Kami comforts the younger girl and reassures her that it will be alright.
Solay soon spots a dejected Bolter leaving a building. The two Jedi girls corner and confront Bolter. Bolter apologizes for stealing Solay's lightsaber. When Solay asks why she did it, Bolter says that she wanted to stand up to Pak Relda. When Kami asks who Pak is, Bolter says that she a thief who is always bossing her around. Bolter reveals that Relda took her lightsaber. She says that she thought she could be brave with a lightsaber but was wrong. Solay explains that a lightsaber doesn't make a person brave and that real bravery comes from inside. Kami adds that people can choose to be brave. She then introduces herself as Padawan Celesta Kami before introducing Lys Solay. Sadie introduces herself and the three shake hands.
Standing up to a bully[]
Bolter reveals that Relda docks her ship at Docking Bay 7 and tells her that this might help them recover Solay's lightsaber. After the Jedi leave, Bolter decides that she needs to help in order to atone for her actions. At Docking Bay 7, a spider droid services a green ship. Solay and Kami emerge from a hatch. They decide they have to get Solay's lightsaber back before Relda can depart on her starship. Solay and Kami confront Relda and demand the return of Solay's lightsaber. Relda instead dispatches her three spider droids, who are armed with buzz saws and other tools.
Kami uses the Force to hurl aside one of the droids and slashes through a second with blue lightsaber. Solay uses her Force powers to flip onto a high wall and stop a droid with the Force. Bolter confronts Relda from a high wall while Solay crushes the spider droid she is fighting with. Bolter confronts Relda with her wooden green toy lightsaber. Relda draws Solay's stolen lightsaber. Bolter is undeterred and decides to confront Relda with her blade, mimicking "sequence one" of the Jedi lightsaber move. Kami slices one of Bolter's droids in half and hurls the third droid against a door.
Kami watches as Bolter faces down Relda. Solay is about to intervene but Kami tells the younger Jedi to let Bolter handle the situation. Relda lunges at Bolter with her lightsaber but Bolter dodges her moves while saying she is brave. When Relda goads her to take the stolen lightsaber, Bolter advances on her. She forces Relda to retreat with several strokes before knocking Lys's lightsaber out of her hand. Solay retrieves the lightsaber. Together the two Jedi back Bolter up with their weapons while Bolter faces down Relda. Bolter says that she does not need a lightsaber to brave while Solay says that nobody is afraid of Pak. Outnumbered and outgunned, Relda renounces her claim to the stolen lightsaber and retreats aboard her starship.
Aftermath[]
Following Relda's retreat, Kami praises Bolter for her courage. Kami later introduces Bolter as a friend to Master Drow, Brightstar, and Nubs. Brightstar recognizes Bolter as the lightsaber thief but Solay reassures them that Bolter is now their friend. Master Drow introduces himself to Sadie before departing for an experiment. Bolter hugs Solay before Bolter proceeds to tell the boys about their recent adventure.
