Plot summary[]
The school tour[]
Jedi Masters Zia Zaldor Zanna and Yoda lead several Jedi Initiates including Kai Brightstar, Lys Solay and Nubs on a tour of an ancient Jedi Temple, telling them to learn from what they can see. Brightstar, Solay and Nubs taken an interest in a mural of a red-skinned Jedi dressed in white and red robes. Solay wonders what their Jedi predecessors were like while Nubs takes an interest in a mural covered by a vine. He pulls down the vine, revealing a mural of an adult Pooba Jedi.
Nubs leads his friends to the Pooba mural. Solay recognizes the mural as an adult Pooba. The three younglings also taken an interest in carvings telling how the Pooba saved a town from a monster. Nubs touches a wall panel, which opens to reveal a hidden chamber holding the Pooba Jedi's lightsaber. Nubs and his friends shows the Pooba's lightsaber to Yoda and Zia. Yoda recognizes the lightsaber as belonging to the venerated Jedi Master Barabo. While the lightsaber no longer works, Yoda recognizes that it is valuable historical artifact that must be taken to the Jedi Archives on Coruscant immediately. Since Nubs discovered the lightsaber, Yoda invites him on the journey to Coruscant.
Comet trouble[]
Yoda and Nubs get a ride aboard Nash Durango's starship Crimson Firehawk. While calculating a course to Coruscant, RJ-83 warns there are asteroids up ahead. Durango assigns Nubs with watching the sensors. Nubs is distracted toying with Barabo's lightsaber despite Yoda reminding him to man the sensors. Nubs' distraction causes them to miss an approaching comet. The Crimson Firehawk is caught in the comet's tail. Since their path is blocked by ice trails, Durango sends Nubs to man the top gun turret.
Nubs manages to take out several ice chunks. However, he drops Barabo's lightsaber. While retrieving it, he is distracted and misses an ice chunk, which strikes the Firehawk and damages the ship's stabilizer. Though the Firehawk breaks free of the comet, the ship's stabilizer is damaged. The Firehawk heads to a green jungle planet for repairs. While descending into the planet's atmosphere, the Firehawk's stabilizer falls off. Durango manages to do a crash-landing on a green field.
The missing stabilizer[]
Nubs rejoins the others in the cockpit. Speaking in Poobian, Nubs blames himself for their misadventure. Yoda counsels Nubs not to dwell on his mistakes but to focus on finding the stabilizer. Durango agrees with their plan and tasks RJ-83 with watching the ship in their absence. Yoda allows Nubs to bring Barabo's lightsaber but tells him to keep it safe.
Following the smoke plume generated by the stabilizer, the group approach a river. Yoda proposes using rocks to cross the river. Durango jumps across a series of rocks, followed by Yoda. Nubs is the third to cross but struggles to focus since he is wielding Barabo's lightsaber. With difficulty, he crosses the river with the lightsaber but lands headfirst in a patch of mad. Yoda counsels the despondent Nubs to focus on the present.
Nubs to the rescue[]
Later, they find the missing stabilizer in the midst of giant flower. Nubs rushes to retrieve the stabilizer but the flower is part of giant carnivorous plant. Nubs manages to escape by clinging to vines from a tree above but loses the stabilizer and Barabo's lightsaber. Nubs believes he has failed but Yoda reassures Nubs that he is not a failure. Yoda tells Nubs that he has potential to be a great Jedi like Master Barabo and counsels him not to focus on his mistakes but rather on making things right.
Looking at his surroundings, Nubs notices that the tree he is trapped on has blue berries. After chomping on a blue berry, Nubs puts his plan into action. While Durango brings a stick, Yoda uses the Force to levitate several blue fruits above the carnivorous plant. While the plant is distracted, Durango jumps down and uses the stick to force open the leaves of the carnivorous plant.
Durango jumps clear while Nubs swings down using the tree's vine and snatches the stabilizer and lightsaber from the maw of the plant. Nubs throws the stabilizer towards Durango. As the swing pulls upward, the vine pulls the stick free. Yoda uses the Force to drop the berries into the maw of the plant. Nubs swings down with Barabo's lightsaber. Speaking in Poobian, Nubs is jubilant. Durango hugs him while Yoda praises the youngling for being brave and focused like Master Barabo. Durango leads the way back to the Firehawk. Yoda reassures Nubs that the lightsaber is in good hands.
Repairing Barabo's lightsaber[]
At the Jedi Temple, Yoda introduces Nubs and Durango to the architect droid Master Huyang. Yoda says that Huyang will guide him in the ways of building his lightsaber. Examining the lightsaber, Huyang confirms that the lightsaber belonged to the great Master Barabo. While examining the lightsaber's interior, he notices that its kyber crystal has become dislodged and that its focusing ring is damaged. Huyang repairs Barabo's lightsaber and allows Nubs to ignite the lightsaber with Yoda's approval.
