Synopsis:

The episode begins with Lobot bringing the kids to Coruscaunt. When they land at Coruscaunt, Yoda senses danger afoot so, he tells C-3PO to take care of the padawans. When Yoda turns his back, however, the padawans start to attack C-3PO but, R2-D2 stops their shenanagins. Meanwhile, while all of this is happening, a kid called Ian tries to sneak into the Jedi Temple. But, Ian is caught by a security guard, but Ian throws a mouse droid near him, causing the guard to be distracted. Ian gets a helmet and a name tag and blends in but, he overhears that security guards are looking for him.

Meanwhile, Assajj Ventress is planning a surprise attack on the jedi. But, her call goes short because Darth Vader comes in suddenly until George Lucas tells him to get out of the scene. Meanwhile, Ian and the padawans are hearing the Chancellor have his special speech. Ian sees the security guard on the middle story so, he takes action. He moves the disk that they are on, therefore causing it to bump into the chancellor's disk causing a full on fight in the speech room.

Yoda and Commander Cody are about to see the chancellor's speech until they get hit with a disk, causing Assajj to get caught. Yoda and Assajj fight causing a battle droid to get the secret plans. The Battle droid gets away but, that's not stopping Yoda, Yoda and Commander Cody get into their ship, chasing the Battle Droid. C-3PO and the padawans are thrown into the action, escaping on the bus. While in space, the bump into Savage Opress' ship, causing a dogfight. Yoda and Cody are in this dogfight too, and somehow, Ian got into their ship. Yoda's ship bumps 3PO's bus, therefore causing the bus to go into Obi-wan Kenobi's starfighter and going into hyperspace.

The Padawans land on the desert planet of Tatooine where their ship got taken by Jawas. Meanwhile, Yoda and gang crash land on the planet of Hoth where he talks to the jedi temple about the Battle droid. After the call, Yoda gets stomped on by an AT-AT and Cody either flies to a different part of Hoth or flies into a bunch of snow and dies. So, Yoda and Ian walk until Darth Vader suddenly comes in. But, Darth gets taken out of the scene by George Lucas again.

C-3PO and the padawans walk all the way to Mos Eisley where they almost get ran over by a podracer. When they near the Cantina, C-3PO tells the padawans to occupy themselves, they immideantly bring out their lightsabers. Before C-3PO enters the cantina, however, R2-D2 adresses that droids are not allowed in the cantina. C-3PO dresses up as a jedi and enters the cantina. When he walks in, the droid alert rings and he says that R2-D2 should get out of his way. C-3PO says that his name is C threemos eco of Egoul and gets a drink. Unfortunatly, he could get the drink until the bar tender puts the drink in his hand.

Meanwhile, Yoda and Ian were about to stick their head into a death Tauntaun. But, the battle droid with the secret plans was already there! Yoda slices the battle droid, retreiving the plans. Then, Yoda makes a speech about the force but, because of his speech, the Droidekas spotted him. Meanwhile, C-3PO is talking to a Duros, after his talk, he sees that his padawans have joined the cantina band. He tries to get the padawans out of the band and return them to the entrance of the cantina. However, his cape gets torn off, and everybody sees that he is indeed a droid. While escaping, C-3PO bumps into Jabba the Hutt and Jabba wants C-3PO to pay.

Meanwhile, Yoda and Ian have bigger problems. Somehow, Ian gets onto a droideka and defeats all the other droids. Then, he rides the droideka like a horse and then, Yoda hops on. They both ride to the ship until Ian notices that the ship is broken. But, Yoda uses the force to make this ship brand new again. While repairing the ship, more droidekas come, they both escape to the ship. But, they escape Hoth with Ian driving the ship.

Meanwhile, C-3PO is said to fight R2-D2 on Tatooine. Of course, C-3PO couldn't fight his best friend but, R2-D2 was ready for this day. While in space, Yoda gets a message from Shaak Ti to rescue the padawans on Tatooine. While running away from R2-D2, C-3PO talks to padawans and said that he has failed them. One of the padawans (Bobby) says that C-3PO is not a failure and to break the bars of Jabba's overhead. He does that and gets guns and shoots everybody. Then, the Rancor comes out unexpectedly and C-3PO is not a hero anymore. But, Yoda's ship comes and scares the Rancor, C-3PO thinks he scared the Rancor. Then, he gets sucked onto a metal contractor and flies away with the padawans and R2-D2.

When they get back to Courscaunt, they have a big celebration. It is revealed that Ian is actually a young Han Solo. Darth Vader makes another unexpected appearance but, George tells him it's the end. Then, the episode ends.

When the bus gets taken by Jawas, R2-D2 says to rebuild it and gives C-3PO instructions. These instructions are actually instructions to build the ship.

When C-3PO and the Padawans are in Mos Eisley, there is a sign that says "Welcome to Mos Eisley: Home of the wreched scum and villiany-Obi wan Kenobi" which is a line that Obi-wan says in A new hope.

C-3PO uses Star Wars Name generator to come up with his fake name.

Errors:

R2-D2 shows C-3PO a scene from A new hope where they weren't allowed into the cantina. However, this short and The Yoda Chronicles are set in the Clone Wars so, how could R2-D2 have shown C-3PO the scene?

When the padawans are playing in the cantina, Bobby uses R2-D2 as drums. But, droids aren't allowed in the cantina so, how did R2-D2 get in there without the droid detector going off?
