In the middle of a routine shopping trip on Coruscant, C-3PO is abducted by the bounty hunter Cad Bane. Bane is looking for information about the Senate building on behalf of Jabba the Hutt. Finding C-3PO devoid of useful information, Bane and his accomplices kidnap R2-D2 and extract the vital data, before memory-wiping the droids of the incident, and letting them on their way. The floor-plans and security details of the Senate building are part of a plot engineered by the Hutt families to free their imprisoned brother, Ziro the Hutt, who holds potentially damaging information about Hutt activities.
Cad Bane is hired by Jabba the Hutt to retrieve floor-plans and security details of the Senate building. To get them, he kidnaps R2-D2 and C-3PO, who are on a routine shopping trip on Coruscant.

R2-D2 joins C-3PO in the streets of Coruscant on a shopping trip. Distracted by the pleasures of a droid spa, Artoo is separated from Threepio, who is kidnapped by Cad Bane. The little astromech is also eventually captured by Bane, surrendering himself in the hopes of saving his protocol droid pal.
Padmé is hosting a banquet on Coruscant in honor of Senator Aang, a member of the Military Oversight Committee. Because it is important that the event goes well, she becomes worried when an essential detail of protocol -- the garnish on the dessert cake -- is not available.
To lure the droids into a trap, Cad Bane dispatches his helpful techno-service droid, Todo 360. The smooth-talking chipper little droid makes a compelling case for R2-D2 to visit a droid spa, a calculated move that separates the duo and leaves them vulnerable.
