Plot summary[]
The Jedi Initiates - including Kai Brightstar, Nubs, Lys Solay, and Djovi Resmia - gather at the obstacle course on the training grounds of the Tenoo Jedi Temple. Jedi Master Zia Zaldor Zanna explains that Master Yoda has come to see how they have progressed in their Jedi training. Brightstar, Nubs and Solay are excited. Nubs gets a bit too eager and trips on a log, causing him to bump into Master Yoda. Yoda addresses Nubs, telling him that he has to stay calm in order to do well on the obstacle course.
Master Zia encourages Brightstar to go first. Brightstar easily sweeps through the first section of the course which involves dodging swinging logs. After climbing a ladder, he then has to duel with training droids while navigating through several wooden trunks. The third part involves climbing up a platform using a rope and grabbing the beacon. The other younglings and Master Zia cheer and clap their hands.
Master Zia allows Nubs to go next while Solay cheers him on. Nubs goes through the swing logs obstacle course but is struck by the final log. Nubs recovers from the head blow and progresses through the second section, which involves fighting with training droids while navigating through the wooden trucks. Nubs loses the fight and falls off his log. The two training droids give their blades a "high five." Nubs climbs the rope to the wooden platform but is troubled by a bifflefly, which rubs him in the face, causing him to fall off.
Out of frustration, Nubs kicks a circular wooden trunk carving but hurts his foot. Sensing his frustration, Yoda speaks with Nubs and encourages Nubs to stay calm and trust in the Force. Trying the obstacle course again, Nubs uses the Force to dodge the swinging logs. He then fights off the training droids before using a rope to scale the platform. Nubs loses his grip but manages to hold on with his feet. He climbs back up the rope and retrieves the beacon. Master Zia and the younglings cheer him on.
Following the obstacle course, Yoda praises Nubs for staying calm even when faced with difficult. Nubs mutters his agreement in Poobian. Solay and Brightstar asks if he wants to try the course again. Nubs collapses with exhaustion and mutters no. The three younglings laugh joyfully.
