Durango demonstrates her knowledge ofstarships by pointing out aJamadorn Skybreaker, which is large enough to carry arancor, and aNovalight Defender, which has some of the best ray shields in theTenoo's sector. Durango takes an interest in a shinyXD-7 speedster, one of the fastest ships inthe galaxy.

Durango has a reunion with her uncleLuggs Neelo, whom she introduces to her Jedi friends. When Durango asks if she can fly the XD-7 speedster, Uncle Luggs declines and explains that it is a collector's item. Neelo has also fitted a speciallock around the cockpit. Durango also tells Luggs that her mothers have been working on a starship.

The starship heist[]

Unknown to the group, they are being spied upon by theMoldwarp thiefDraiven Bosh, who instructs his droidsK-2PL andR4-13 to steal the speedster at his signal. To distract Neelo and the others, he stages a Big Six wheel show. Bosh awards ahumanboy a bucket of bolts. Meanwhile, K-2PL and R4-13 wheel the hover platform carrying the XD-7 speedster. Once the droids have moved the speedster away, Bosh abruptly ends the show and departsKublop Springs with his droids. Bosh plans to travel offworld to a garage where they can remove the lock.

Neelo and the younglings are dismayed and shocked to discover the speedster has been stolen. Durango apologizes for leading him away from the starship but Neelo takes responsibility for not being more careful. He hopes that the thief doesn’t damage the starship.

Neelo then recalls that the stolen speedster's lock had a hidden tracker function. He is dismayed to learn that the thieves have taken his ship offworld. Since Uncle Lugg's ship is on the other side of Tenoo, Durango says that she and her Jedi friends will pursue the thieves in her starshipCrimson Firehawk.

A den of thieves[]

Meanwhile, Bosh travels to anasteroid field. He parkshis shuttle inside anasteroid hangar. While his two droids guard the ship, Bosh meets with theUgnaughtEunice Ino and his twoMassifs. Bosh tells Ino that he has come to seek his help in unlocking the starshio's lock. Ino warns that it won't be cheap. Bosh offers to make a deal.

The younglings travel with Uncle Luggs to the asteroid field. They find the area littered with torn-up starships. Durango thinks it is a scrapper yard. Neelo panicks Solay reassures him that he will be alright. Durango proposes that they sneak into the scrapper yard and have Luggs fly the stolen ship out. Neelo refuses to fly it because he wants to maintain its pristine state. Durango confirms that theFirehawk is equipped with a tow cable. Neelo proposes that he infiltrate the garage and attach the tow cable so that Durango can tow it out. Brightstar adds that he and his Jedi friends could distract the thieves.

Stealing back the Speedster[]

Putting their plan into action, the four infiltrate Eunice Ino's garage. Brightstar recognizes the two droids as belonging to Bosh while Solay recalls that Bosh had attempted to steal theVisitor Day's sculpture to add to his collection. Nubs expresses agreement inPoobian. The three Jedi younglings use theirForce powers to distract the droids by knocking over a turret while Neelo attaches the tow cable. However, Neelo accidentally topples several crates with the tow cable, arousing the attention of the thieves.

With their cover exposed, the Jedi younglings draw theirtraining lightsabers. Ino realizes that the Jedi and their friends must have placed a tracker on the stolen ship. Still determined to make money from the stolen ship, Ino dispatches his massif against the intruders. Ino and Bosh bring melee weapons to confront the intruders. While Solay and Nubs parry with the droids, one of the massifs rips apart the tow cable with its jaws. Neelo informs Durango that the cable is broken.

Before the massifs can attack Neelo, Solay uses her Force powers to calm and befriend the creatures. With the tow cable broken, Durango implores her uncle to fly the XD-7 speedster out of the hangar. While Neelo doesn't want to damage the pristine starship, Durango counters that the starship was meant to be flown and that he won't get it back if he doesn't fly his ship. Listening to his niece, Neelo climbs into the cockpit. Durango then tells Brightstar and his friends about the change in plans and asks them to board theFirehawk.

Realizing that Neelo is planning to fly the speedster out, Ino orders that the blast doors be closed. The three Jedi younglings board theFirehawk before the gates close. Neelo manages to fly the speedster out of the garage by flipping the starship on its side but sustains some scratches. As the Jedi and their friends escape into space, Bosh laments the loss of his ill-gotten gain. Ino grumbles in the background.

Homecoming[]

Neelo is excited about flying the XD-7 speedster. Durango agrees that the ship was meant to be flown. They head back to Kublop Springs where Neelo shows his starship to the locals. While it has a few scratches, he says the ship is okay. Durango and her friends serve her uncle a hot drink. Neelo allows Durango to fly the XD-7 speedster with him as a reward for helping him recover the ship. The two fly their starship out of the tent garage while Durango's Jedi friends cheer on the ground. They then take the speedster for a spin around Kublop Springs.
