Plot summary[]
Resistance in peril[]
During the attack on the Resistance fleet, Moxie Freemaker and Ka-Pao watch in distress as the First Order Navy led by the Mega-class Star Destroyer Supremacy destroys a Nebulon-C escort frigate. Moxie asks Ka Pao if this is how the Resistance ends. She adds that this ship only has enough fuel left for one hyperspace jump. He says that it is bad but Moxie adds that it is worse than bad. She asks if it is wrong for her to keep worrying about Roger, wondering if he is okay. He reassures her that Roger is family. Moxie says she wishes she knew where he was.
Prisoner of Graballa[]
At Graballa's Beachside Resort and Buffet in Canto Bight, Graballa tells Roger that he is going to melt him into slag unless he tells him where Anakin Skywalker's Jedi starfighter is. Roger says never and says that he won't go back to Ord Tellarom. Roger is hanging from a chain. He asks Graballa why he wants the starfighter since he will never fit into that ship.
Graballa responds that the starfighter is not for him but is for Kylo Ren. He says that it used to belong to his grandfather Darth Vader. Roger is surprised to learn that Vader had a family. Graballa agrees and says that Vader didn't seem the type. Roger says that if Kylo Ren wants it his lips are definitely sealed or they would be if he had lips.
Graballa is then contacted via holoprojector by Captain Phasma. Phasma asks if he has located Anakin Skywalker's starfighter. Graballa tells her that she has found a droid that can take them to it. Phasma questions his ability to get the information out of the droid and chides the Hutt for his incompetence. She says that she will come to Canto Bight and make this droid talk if Graballa can't.
Graballa taunts Roger that he is the "creepy chromium lady"'s problem now. Baash and Raam inform Graballa that there is an emergency and that a Squib addict did a plop. Graballa grumbles about having to deal with these problems. Baash and Raam mock Roger. Baash says they will make him talk by pounding his processors till he drops his data. Raam adds they will grind his gears till he reveals his secrets. Roger maintains a tough face and tells them he is not afraid of their threats.
An argument breaks out between Baash and Raam over who can be tougher towards Roger. The two butt heads and knock each other out, dropping the holoprojector. Roger says they are as predictable as ever and grabs the holoprojector with his legs.
The call of family[]
Aboard the Raddus's hangar bay, Roger contacts Moxie via holoprojector. He tells her that he is being imprisoned on Canto Bight by Graballa at his beachside resort and buffet. He remarks that it is as tacky as Moxie thinks. When Moxie asks why Graballa is holding him prisoner, Roger tells her that Kylo Ren wants a Jedi starfighter and that he knows where it is. When Moxie asks more, Roger tells her that Baash and Raam are waking up and to hurry up and save him.
Moxie asks Lieutenant Mundu for help in rescuing Roger but he tells her that the Resistance are fighting for their very lives. He denies her request. Moxie claims that Roger holds the key to their victory and that Kylo Ren wants the droid. Mundu says this is nothing to do with her "antiquated pile of junk" and dismisses her. Ka Pao tells her not to worry and Moxie smiles. The two escape in a Resistance transport pod. Moxie thanks Ka Pao for sticking by her and the two set off into hyperspace to rescue Roger.
Rough landing at Canto Bight[]
The two approach Canto Bight and are mesmerized by its bright lights. However, they are pursued by an Upsilon-class command shuttle and two TIE/fo space superiority fighters. Their transport pod crashes into the sea while Captain Phasma bids the Resistance "scum" good riddance.
Moxie and Ka Pao surface with the latter opining that the First Order has beaten them to Canto Bight. Moxie reasons that they are going to get Roger and decides to get to Graballa's resort. At Graballa's resort, a Gamorrean bouncer turns them away because they are not meeting the dress code.
Ka Pao loses his temper and improvises a pole into a stick. However, he and Moxie spot several fathiers at a nearby stadium. Moxie proposes getting hold of some fancy outfits and breaching Graballa's inner sanctum. Moxie asks Ka Pao how many credits he has but he has none. Moxie says she has none and grumbles that nothing is going according to plan.
She says she is not sure what to do next but is knocked to the ground by BB-8. Moxie is surprised to see BB-8 and asks what he is doing here. He tells them that Finn and Rose Tico are here. Moxie says she and Ka Pao haven't seen them and are rescuing Roger or trying to. She explains that Graballa is holding him prisoner but that they can't get into his resort dressed like this and that they don't have enough credits to buy nicer clothes.
Graballa's lair[]
BB-8 dispenses several coins. Moxie thanks BB-8 and says that she is not even going to ask how he got all this. Moxie and Ka Pao use the coins to buy fancy outfits and are admitted inside by the Gamorrean bouncer. Inside the ball room, they find several guests in fancy dress. Moxie reasons that Roger is upstairs and the two walk up a flight of stairs. Moxie distracts another Gamorrean bouncer by telling him that she saw a Nubian eating out of a salad bowl with his bare hands.
Meanwhile, Graballa hands a chained Roger over to Captain Phasma and her stormtroopers and tells him to take the droid out of his hands. Phasma tells him that his services are appreciated. Graballa tells her that he has incurred a number of expenses during his previous misadventure and demands his finder's fee. Yeppau hands her an invoice on a datapad but Phasma throws it aside.
Phasma responds that the First Order takes what it wants and does not pay. She and her troopers draw their blasters. While Graballa and the First Order are distracted, Moxie and Ka Pao enter the room. However, Graballa spots them and offers to throw in a pair of treacherous Resistance fighters. Moxie and Ka Pao raise their hands.
Graballa says that he recognized the scent of a Freemaker and remarks that Hutts have a great sense of smell even though they don't smell great. The stormtroopers "reunite" Moxie and Ka Pao with Roger. Phasma is pleased with Graballa and orders her men to seize the prisoners. Roger thanks Moxie and Ka Pao for trying to rescue him and wishes he could give them a hand or a leg.
Saved by the fathiers[]
Roger detaches one of his legs and uses it to knock out one of the stormtroopers. Moxie thanks Roger for his quick thinking and knocks out another stormtrooper. Before going down, the stormtrooper fires his blaster, bringing pieces of debris down on his comrades. Roger cheers he is safe but Moxie disagrees. The three flee through a set of doors as stormtroopers open fire.
They flee downstairs. The gunfire causes the guests to panic and flee. Graballa cries out in rage as his beachside resort suffers damage including a statue being blasted apart. Phasma jumps over Graballa onto the chandeliers and jumps at front of the Resistance operatives. As her stormtroopers converge around them, she says they will run no more.
Just then, they hear the thundering of hooves. Roger asks if anyone hears that. A herd of fathiers race through Graballa's ballroom. Graballa asks what the fathiers are doing inside his resort. Phasma orders her troopers to retreat while a stormtrooper drags Roger. The First Order forces depart on their speeder bikes and a land speeder. Phasma hauls Roger aboard her speeder.
Moxie and Ka Pao climb on the back of a fathier and give chase as Graballa's Beachside Resort and Buffet falls apart behind them. Graballa rises from the debris with Yeppau and cries that he is ruined. He asks if they are insured but Yeppau says no. Graballa cries in frustration.
Roger's secret[]
Riding on her speeder bike at front of her troops, Phasma fires on Moxie and Ka Pao's fathier. As they turn into an intersection, the Resistance operatives catch up on the First Order stormtroopers with their fathier. The fathier rams into their speeder bikes and throw some stormtroopers off their vehicles. They soon catch up with Phasma's landspeeder but the First Order captain shoots at them with her blaster, forcing them back.
Roger begins narrating Chapter 168, which he calls "The Fathier Flight of Canto Bight." He tells Phasma that he is writing a sequel biography called From Trenches to Wrenches: The Roger Story Volume Two. When Phasma asks if there is a volume one, he tells her that it has been published on the HoloNet and that it goes into detail about each of his adventures.
Phasma plays Roger's memoirs on her holoprojector and asks if it reveals the location of the Jedi starfighter. A hologram of Roger claims he skipped that story but the holobook explains that they had to leave Skywalker's starfighter at a rancor nest on an unnamed planet, which includes the hyperspace coordinates. Phasma thanks Roger on behalf of Kylo Ren before ejecting Roger out of his seat.
Roger lands on the pavement and is picked up by Moxie and Ka Pao. They ask if he is okay. Roger reassembles himself and admits that this was all about a Jedi starfighter. He explains that it was starfighter which belonged to her grandfather "but that which he lost through no fault of his own." He explains that the starfighter once belonged to Kylo Ren's grandfather Darth Vader. Ka Pao is shocked that Vader had a family with Roger adding that he didn't seem like the family type.
Moxie says they need to get back to the Resistance. She contacts BB-8 by holoprojector and asks if he is still on Canto Bight. BB-8 tells them that he, Finn, and Rose are going to disable the Mega Star Destroyer. Moxie wishes the, good luck. Roger tried to comfort them by telling them that the good news is that the Resistance is still alive. Moxie says that they could do with out help. Roger proposes going back to the ship and loading it with weapons. Moxie tells him they don't have weapons or a ship. When Roger criticizes her "slip shod" plan, she replies that she is working on it.
