[younglings shout]
[Kai grunts]
[no audible dialogue]
[droid chirps]
- [younglings straining] - [Force rumbling]
Almost there.
[straining continues]
- Perfect. - [younglings sigh]
- [Nubs groans] - That is one heavy gem.
Thanks for helping to set up for the big grand opening party today.
It really means a lot.
Thanks for inviting us, Ayva.
We were so excited to come back to Ootoo Prime
and celebrate your people's new discovery.
Yeah, the gems from the new mine tunnel are beautiful.
[coos]
[speaking Poobian]
[chuckles] Yes, the new gems are shiny, Nubs,
but they're also really strong.
We'll be able to use them for so many things.
But for now,
- we have to cover this one. - [beeps]
We'll show it to everyone later at the party.
- [gasps] Look, the party guests are here. - [Nubs gasps]
- Wow. - [coos]
- Everybody sure got dressed up. - [Nubs grunts]
[Ayva] We Ootoo share our gems with the galaxy,
so we asked everyone to wear their gems to celebrate.
[Nubs coos]
- [Kai, Lys] Princess Inaya! - [speaking Poobian]
Kai, Lys, Nubs!
I didn't know you were gonna be at this party.
Inaya, this is our friend Ayva.
- Hi. - She's one of the miners here.
Oh, it's so good to meet you.
- Congratulations on the new tunnel. - Thank you.
[speaking Poobian]
[chuckles] Thanks, Nubs.
I wanted to wear my shiniest tiara for the celebration today,
but I really prefer shiny machine parts instead.
[grunts, laughing]
Inaya is a great mechanic.
She even built her own ship.
[Cyrus clears throat]
We have a lot of gems at our palace, but this is incredible.
Prince Cyrus.
I should have known.
This party is about celebrating the Ootoo people, not just gems.
Wait.
You two know each other?
Of course.
Royalty and all that.
Always nice to see you, Princess.
Hard not to see you with that huge brooch you've got there.
[Cyrus] Oh, this?
I found it on a recent trip off-world.
It's priceless.
[groans]
But while I love nice things, I do not love these types of parties.
So boring.
Let's go explore.
Oh, yes. Ayva, can we, please?
Yes, that's a great idea. Follow me.
Just, please, don't take anything from the mines, okay?
Come on.
I can't wait to show you the new tunnel.
[all cheering, laughing]
Whoa! What is that?
[Inaya exclaims]
[Kai] Cyrus, we're supposed to stay with the others.
[Kai grunts]
[Kai, Inaya gasp]
[Kai] Whoa.
Look at all the crystals.
- [Cyrus grunts] - [Kai] Huh?
[crystal tinkling]
Cyrus, wait.
Ayva said not to take anything from the mines.
[scoffs] You worry too much.
No one's gonna miss one little crystal.
[grunting]
Exquisite.
See?
- Everything's fine. - [chittering]
Huh?
[chittering continues]
Um, what's that sound?
[chittering continues]
- [screams] - Let's go!
- Let's get out of here. - [Cyrus] Run!
- [Inaya screams] - They're after me!
Get to the cart!
- Hurry! - [Inaya groans]
[all grunt]
[buzzing]
- Are they gone? - [Kai panting]
Cyrus, what were you thinking?
You took that crystal right after they told you not to.
Now all those creatures are loose.
First of all, it's just a few bugs.
And second, look at this crystal.
Totally worth it.
[groans] That's not the point.
It's like you care more about that crystal than your friends.
[groans] You Jedi are always so dramatic.
- [grunts] - It's no use, Kai.
I don't think Cyrus knows how to say I'm sorry.
Just... [sighs]
Listen, a swarm like that flying around the mine can't be good.
- We have to go catch them. - [beeps]
- [rumbling] - [all scream]
[Inaya gasps]
Great. The mine cart's busted.
[both] I can fix it.
You're a mechanic too?
No way.
Hey! I build things in my workshop all the time, okay.
Great. You two work on fixing the cart.
[grunts] I'll try and call the others.
- Lys, Nubs. Can you hear me? - [static on comm]
[groans]
After you, Your Highness.
[grunting]
So, you've got a workshop.
We've known each other for a while.
Why'd you never mention it before?
My parents say my hobbies are a waste of time.
They think I should only care about our planet's riches.
Riches, gems. Those are just things.
Helping the people on your planet, that's what's really important.
That's what leaders like us are supposed to do.
[welding continues]
There. Done.
Kai, we're ready.
Okay. Be right there.
[grunts] Lys, Nubs and Ayva are in the new mine tunnel
and so are those creatures. Let's go.
Oh, wow.
- Are the creatures eating the gems? - [Inaya whimpers]
- [buzzing] - [Lys] No! Go away, amberflies.
- [Ayva groaning] - [Lys] Back to your nest.
Ayva, have you seen these creatures before?
Yes, they're called armored amberflies.
They're calm inside their nest,
but if they ever leave it, they'll eat every gem in sight.
We have to find a way to bring them all together
so we can get them back to the nest.
Well, if they like to eat shiny gems, how about these?
Your tiara?
You can't give that up.
- It's... - It's okay.
It's just a thing.
Ayva, come with me.
Everybody else, grab as many gems as you can and bring them to the mine cart.
[speaking Poobian]
We're gonna give these amberflies a meal they won't forget.
[Nubs panting]
Help me attach my tiara to the headlamp.
[all grunt]
[Nubs chuckles]
[beeps]
- [crystals tinkling] - [amberflies chittering]
[buzzing]
- It's working. - [cheering]
- They're coming to the cart. - [Lys] Come on. Come on.
[groans] No!
Hey, get off!
- D'oh! - [Nubs gasps]
So that's…
Going to the center of the mine.
[Cyrus] As in…
Where the big party is.
Right.
- [Nubs exclaim] - [Ayva] Go, go, go!
[Lys] Please don't go that way! Come back. Come back. Come back. No!
[droid chirps]
[calm music playing]
[cart rumbling]
[amberflies buzzing]
[chittering]
[both screaming, grunting]
[Queen Dafne screams] Get it off!
- Stop! Come back! - [Kai grunts]
- [all scream] - [miner] What's going on?
[screams] Get it off me!
[party guests screaming, exclaiming]
The amberflies aren't gonna stop.
We have to get them out of here.
My parents are going to be furious.
I cared more about this than any of you and ruined everything.
I'm... I'm sorry.
Did Prince Cyrus Vuundir just apologize?
Wow.
I want to make this right.
Will you help me?
Of course.
- Absolutely. - For sure.
Let's go catch some amberflies.
Great.
- So, how? - [screams]
- With that. - [party guest screams]
That gem is the biggest, shiniest thing here.
If we uncover it, all the amberflies will go right to it.
And then we can take them and the gem back down to the nest.
That's brilliant, Lys.
Ayva, get to the gem and get ready to uncover it.
Inaya, Cyrus, do what you can to protect these people.
Kai, Nubs, you're with me.
[speaking Poobian]
[Inaya, Cyrus panting]
[groans] Get down!
[grunting]
Oh, no, you don't. [grunts]
Now, Ayva.
[beeps]
[party guests gasping, exclaiming]
[buzzing]
[Kai] Yes! It's working.
- Now! Together! - [Force rumbling]
[younglings straining]
Quick! While they're still eating.
[all grunting]
[Ayva] They've almost eaten the entire gem.
[Lys] Let's guide them to the nest.
- [Nubs grunts] - [Force rumbling]
[chuckles]
[rumbling continues]
- Yes, you did it! - [rumbling stops]
- Get off! Get off! Get off! - [buzzing]
- Cyrus, they want your brooch. - [Cyrus] Get off me!
[groaning] They're all over me.
Huh? Okay then.
Go get it.
[buzzing]
[chittering]
[chittering continues]
[chittering stops]
- [all cheering] - Yay! We did it!
Great job, everybody.
And while the centerpiece gem was beautiful,
we are grateful for the efforts of the young Jedi, the young royals,
and our own to protect that which is truly important,
all of you.
Now let the festivities begin!
[all cheering]
- [droid chirps] - Well… [chuckles]
…this was not what we were expecting for our grand opening party,
but it sure was memorable.
I'm sorry again for all the trouble I caused.
The Ootoo people are what today was about, not things.
Apologizing and caring about other people?
I like this new version of you, Cyrus.
I know it was hard to give up your brooch, but we're all really proud of you.
And just to show there's no hard feelings…
[gem tinkling]
One of the new gems?
Thank you, Ayva.
I'll, uh... I'll treasure it.
Just don't eat it like the amberflies. [chuckles]
- [stomach growls] - [groans, gasps]
[speaking Poobian]
[chuckles] Yeah, Nubs.
- I think we've earned a snack. Come on. - [speaking Poobian]
[Kai, Nubs laugh]
You coming?
[droid chirps]
- [wellagrin bellows] - [Kai] Whoo-hoo!
- [Lys chuckles] Yeah! - [wellagrin bellows]
Hurry, you two. We've got to get these wellagrins to the starting line for Gumar.
The event's about to start.
- We're hurrying. - [Nubs speaking Poobian]
- [exclaims] - [wellagrin bellows]
[both chuckling]
Let's see. That's done.
- Check. - [datapad beeps]
- That's done. Check. - [Nubs speaking Poobian]
[screaming]
- And check. - [groaning]
[shudders, speaking Poobian]
Hey, Gumar. Looks like we made it just in time.
Thanks. I'm just going over my plans for the Ancestors Circuit.
Every kid on Andraven only gets one chance to complete it.
Everything I need to know is right here on my datapad.
Long ago, when my ancestors first came to Andraven, no one lived here.
They explored the wilderness
and found ways to thrive in this cold and snowy world.
Thanks for letting us join you.
Tradition says we can bring friends to help.
- Sled delivery coming your way. - [wellagrins bellow]
[Gumar] Dad!
I was worried you were gonna be late and then we'd be late to the first challenge,
and my whole plan would be off.
Gumar, I know today's important to you,
but remember, the Ancestors Circuit can be full of unexpected moments.
So, just take things as they come.
Unexpected moments?
Everyone in our family has completed the circuit.
And I promise I will too.
I just want you to do your best and have fun, Gumar.
That's all that matters.
Wow!
- This sled is amazing. - [Nubs coos]
[grunts] I used this very sled when I completed the circuit.
It's been in our family a long time.
Look, a wellagrin.
Wait. What's this creature?
That is a legendary zaba wolf.
[whimpers, speaking Poobian]
[chuckles] Oh, it's okay, Nubs.
No one's seen one for many, many years.
It's said that our ancestors used to befriend them
using special flutes made from rare kao reeds.
- They even rode zaba wolves too. - [datapad beeps]
- Wow. - [coos]
- Okay. Wellagrins harnessed. Check. - [wellagrin bellows]
Teammates. Check.
- Now we need to... - [flute whistling]
[grunts]
Gumar Adraki, welcome to the Andraven Ancestors Circuit.
Today you will face three challenges,
each reflecting the experience of our ancestors.
You have until sundown to complete them.
Best of luck.
Hold on tight, everyone.
- Hyah! - [all scream]
Good luck!
[wellagrins bellow]
[Lys shivers]
Good thing the first challenge is finding heat stones.
I'm freezing.
- [Kai shivers] - [speaking Poobian]
Oh! Thanks, Nubs.
Your fur is warm.
According to my datapad, the stone should be right around here.
[shivering] Are you sure?
This doesn't seem like a place for heat stones.
[gasps]
At first, the ancestors didn't think so either,
but they soon found that heat stones can be found by the roots of these plants.
[chuckles, coos]
See? This is why I have a plan.
No kidding.
Nice work, Gumar.
One challenge down.
Two to go.
- [wellagrin bellows] - Here we are.
The second challenge.
We need to get a snowfig.
Snowfig? Sounds delicious.
They are.
Snowfigs are one of the first foods my ancestors ate
when they came to Andraven.
They're very hard to find.
Thankfully I prepared,
and this snowfig tree is exactly where I thought it'd be.
Except I didn't plan for the snowfig to be so high up.
[groaning]
Well, there's no climbing up that way.
The trunk's too slippery.
How are we gonna get it?
Well, you brought us along to help.
- We could use the Force. - [speaking Poobian]
Thanks, but I want to do this like my ancestors did.
Without the Force.
There's gotta be something in my datapad that can help.
"They relied on each other's strengths to survive in the wilderness."
[gasps] I-I got an idea! But I'm not sure you're gonna like it.
[Nubs groans]
- [wellagrin bellowing] - [all straining]
Can... Can you reach it, Gumar?
[straining] Almost.
[grunts] Got it!
Whoa!
[all screaming]
- [wellagrin bellows] - [all grunting]
- [wellagrin blusters] - [Nubs shudders]
- We did it. - [all chuckling]
All right!
I knew my datapad would help.
[Nubs speaking Poobian]
All right. One challenge left, and we're making great time.
Let's go.
For the last challenge, we have to make a flute from a kao reed.
They're hard to find.
But I researched and found a spot where they grow not too far from here.
[all exclaiming]
- [wellagrin bellows] - What happened?
Uh-oh. Looks like we're stuck.
[groans, speaking Poobian]
[groaning]
Come on. Let's try and get the sled free.
[Gumar, Lys grunting]
My datapad didn't say anything about there being brambles in the path.
We were doing so well and now we're gonna get behind schedule.
[groans]
[creature growls]
It'll be okay, Gumar.
We can still finish.
We just need to work together to get...
- [howling] - [all gasp]
- [Nubs whimpers] - Uh…
What was that?
- It's a… - [younglings gasp]
- [barks] - [Gumar] A zaba wolf!
[growls]
A zaba wolf?
I definitely didn't plan for this.
[snarls]
[wellagrins groaning]
- [barking continues] - I think we should run.
[Gumar screams] After the wellagrins.
[zaba wolf howls]
[growls]
- [groans] - [zaba wolf barks]
[all panting]
- [groaning] Hurry! Hop on! - [zaba wolf howls]
[both grunting]
- Nubs! - [speaking Poobian]
- [barking, snarling] - [speaking Poobian]
- [screams] - Hurry, Nubs.
- [speaking Poobian] - [barks]
- Got you! - [Nubs grunts]
- [barking] - [Lys whimpers]
- [all screaming] - [zaba wolf snarling]
We gotta find a place to hide.
- There! - [Gumar grunts]
[zaba wolf snarls]
[wellagrins bellowing]
[shushes]
[sniffing]
[growls, barking]
[gulps]
If we stay quiet, maybe the wolf will go away.
There's gotta be something on my datapad that can help.
[groans] My datapad's busted.
Now we'll never finish the circuit.
I'll be the only person in my family to have failed.
Gumar, you don't need your datapad.
Everything you need, you already know.
You prepared for today.
Plus, your ancestors never had a datapad.
- We'll figure out something together. - [speaking Poobian]
Wait.
- Huh? - [speaking Poobian]
My ancestors used kao reed flutes to befriend zaba wolves.
Yeah, but where are we gonna find kao reeds?
We went the wrong direction.
In my research, I learned they grow near ice lakes.
Like that one over there.
[sniffing]
[whimpers]
Except, the zaba wolf is in our way.
That's why I need you to distract it, so I can find a kao reed and make a flute.
[groans]
- Hmm. - [both gasp]
- [Lys exclaims] - [zaba wolf growls, barks]
It found us. We gotta move now.
Ready?
Uh, right.
Distract the giant growling wolf looking right at us.
- [lightsaber ignites] - Huh?
- [groans] - [speaking Poobian]
Nubs, what are you...
[Nubs laughing]
- [barking] - [Nubs screaming]
[Kai, Lys] Nubs!
[panting]
- [Nubs speaking Poobian] - [barks]
Come on. There's got to be some kao reeds around here.
Aha!
[gasps]
- [barking] - [screaming]
[panting]
[whimpering]
[snarls]
[exclaims]
[speaking Poobian]
[screams]
[Force rumbling]
[speaking Poobian]
[growls, whimpers]
[both straining]
[speaking Poobian]
[barks]
[speaking Poobian]
- [strains] - [zaba wolf barks]
I don't know how much longer we can keep this up.
- [speaking Poobian] - [zaba wolf barking]
- [flute whistles] - [whimpers]
[groaning]
[gasps]
[speaking Poobian, chuckles]
[zaba wolf sniffs]
[growls]
[gulps]
[growls, barking]
[growling continues]
[sniffs]
[gasps]
[exclaims]
Uh, thank you.
[speaking Poobian]
[chuckles, sighs]
Gumar, you befriended a zaba wolf, just like your ancestors.
[Nubs groaning]
[whimpers]
[chuckling]
[chuckles]
[whimpers]
- [Gumar chuckles] - Okay.
- [Kai, Nubs exclaim] - Whoa.
The sun hasn't gone down.
We can still finish the circuit.
We got the fruit, the heat stones, and the kao reed flute.
- Wanna help us? - [barking]
[chuckles] I think that's a yes.
We'll get the wellagrins and the sled.
Lead the way, Gumar.
[zaba wolf groans]
- It's sunset. Where are those kids? - [zaba wolf howls]
[chuckles] Yeah!
[all cheering, laughing]
[Jam chuckles]
- Hi, everyone. - [wellagrin bellows]
- We made it. - [speaking Poobian]
Son, you found a zaba wolf and befriended it?
They haven't been seen since the time of our ancestors.
And we completed all the challenges.
The heat stones, the snowfig, and…
The kao reed flute.
[zaba wolf groans]
Excellent work.
You were right, Dad. I couldn't plan for everything.
There were definitely unexpected moments.
But thanks to my friends, we were able to finish.
- [speaking Poobian] - [Jam chuckles]
[laughing]
Son, I know the circuit meant so much to you.
I'm very proud of you.
Proud of you all.
[Nubs chuckling]
[speaking Poobian]
- Oh… [chuckles] …you too. - [zaba wolf groans]
- [all laughing] - [wellagrin bellows]
