A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
The Empire has landed near the pole of snowy planet Joetz,
putting a Rebel base in danger.
As the Rebels hurriedly begin preparing to evacuate,
the troop's most eager warrior sets out on reconnaissance
to investigate the enemy's movements...
[wind blowing]
[speeder whooshing]
[beeping]
[♪ funky electronic music playing]
Made it to the coastline.
[R9-TR2 beeps approvingly]
No music while you're doing recon.
And you should slow down.
Your engines are far too loud.
Okay. Tor-Tu?
[beeping]
Remember, Princess, if you sense any danger, retreat.
Enough with the "Princess."
The kingdom's gone now. Forget it.
We're better off if we can leave the past behind us.
Hmm.
In that case, maybe you should upgrade your droid
and get rid of that old royal relic.
-Hmph. -[R9-TR2 beeps disapprovingly]
Easy, Tor-Tu.
Nobody could make me trade you in.
That droid is one of a kind, you know?
The only astromech that can play my music.
They just don't make 'em like that anymore.
Besides,
I've had him since I was a kid.
[gasps, grunting]
[panting]
[♪ funky electronic music continuing]
[whirring]
That village. It must have been destroyed by the Empire.
They have to be close. It didn't happen long ago.
[Admiral Kiucee] Understood. We'll plan to retreat.
Get back here as soon as you can, Princess.
[R9-TR2 whistles, beeps]
-Are you sure? -What's that?
Tor-Tu's picking up a reading from inside the ruins of the village.
There could be survivors.
I'm going in.
It's too dangerous.
And you can't trust that piece of junk's old sensors.
-I must insist you return... -[sighs]

[R9-TR2 beeping]
Hmm.

-[grunting] -[child exclaims]

It's a survivor.
[R9-TR2 beeps excitedly]
[child breathing shakily]
Are you hurt, little one?
[exclaims]
[whimpering]
Hmm. [gasps]
[whimpering]
[gasps]
Oh, wow, these are great.
Did, um... Did you make these yourself?
[whimpering]
Oh!
-[exclaiming] -[♪ serene music playing]
Thought so.
The legends of your kind talk about birds just like these, huh?
A guardian deity.
I think that's beautiful.
[gasps, exclaims excitedly]
My name is Crane,
and that's Tor-Tu.
[beeping excitedly]
What about you? Do you have a name?
[sighs]
Woopas.
[exclaims]
Hello, Woopas.
Nice to meet you.
[grunts]
Something scary happened around here, didn't it?
But, hey, somehow you survived.
You know what that means?
It means there must be a reason you're still alive.
Why don't you come with me.
[chuckles softly]
[whimpers]
[exclaims]
[chuckles softly]
-[R9-TR2 beeps alarmingly] -Huh?
[beeps distressingly]
Are they close?
It's too dangerous to stay here.
Let's go.

-Nice work. -[Woopas yelps]
[cheers]
[Crane grunts] Come on.
-[Woopas exclaims] -[♪ upbeat pensive music playing]
[grunts]
Tor-Tu, get a move on.
[beeps]
Here we go.
[speeder revs, whooshes]
-[Crane grunts] -[Woopas screams]
[Woopas exclaims]
Hmm.
[both] Huh?
[mechanical whirring]
[♪ upbeat pensive music continuing]
[Crane] That's a mining transport.
What would they be digging for out here?
-[R9-TR2 beeps] -[Crane] Oh?
[digital trilling, beeping]
[gasps]
This is no small excavation project.
Admiral, do you read me?
[digital beeping]
Princess. There you are. Are you all right?
Tell me you didn't do anything reckless.
I secured a survivor from the village the Empire destroyed,
and I found something.
I figured out why they came to this planet in the first place.
They're mining coaxium veins.
[Admiral Kiucee] Coaxium?
[Crane] Turns out there's a reserve right underneath the pole.
They had no idea about our base.
They're here because they wanted the hyperfuel supply.
[beeps]
Huh? I don't see anything.
[alarm blaring in distance]
[ice shattering]
[groans]
Walkers.
-[laser cannons firing] -[grunting]

-[Woopas panting] -[R9-TR2 beeps]
[Crane grunts]
[Woopas yelps]
[Crane's mother] I need you to run now, Crane.
[sobbing] I can't.
I don't want to leave you, Mom.
Listen to me.
We're the only ones left here. Go.
You have to live, and grow up to become who you're meant to be.
[sobbing]
[Crane's mother] Take care of her, Tor-Tu.
[♪ upbeat electronic music playing]
[Woopas exclaims]
Woopas.
There is a reason you're still here.
Same as me. There's a reason I'm still around, too.
-Now, come on. Let's go! -[speeder revs]
-[Woopas grunts] -[beeps]
[grunting]
[yells]
[gasps] The armor's too strong.
-Now what do we do? -[grunts]
-[R9-TR2 beeping] -Huh?
Uh... Uh...
Ah!
[whooshing]
-Huh? -[Woopas grunting]
Are you telling me you know how to use thermal detonators?
Okay. Show me what you got!
[Woopas yells]
[detonator beeping]
Nice shot!
That's one down.
[Crane, Woopas exclaim]
[metal creaking loudly]
[mechanical whirring]
-Seismic charges! -[both yelp]
[Crane, Woopas grunting]
-[Woopas screaming] -[exclaims]

Tor-Tu, armor mode!

[♪ upbeat electronic music playing]
[grunts]
[R9-TR2 beeping]
[Woopas exclaims, yells]
[whooshing]
-[beeping] -One shot is all we're gonna need. Now!
[alert blares, trilling]
Huh? The cannons aren't working.
[gasping]
-Tor-Tu, what's going on? -[R9-TR2 beeps]
-Damaged? Tell me you can fix it. -[electricity crackling]
[warbling, whooshes]
-Look out! -[Woopas yells]
[laser cannons firing]
Come on, Tor-Tu, just one shot.
Can't you do something?
Uh...
[exclaims softly]
[crackling]
-[trills, beeping] -You did it.
[laser cannons firing]
Take this!

Just an old song.
The kingdom may be long gone, but it's not forgotten.
Well, you managed to rescue a Gigoran,
-although, it's all on its own. -[Woopas exclaims]
I wouldn't worry about it. He's one tough kid.
He'll grow up to be even stronger.
If you believe it, it must be true, Princess.
[Crane chuckles]
We may have had to give up our base on Joetz,
but thanks to you, the Empire lost
-a major source of hyperfuel. -Hm.
That's quite the military achievement.
Well, I almost didn't pull it off.
My laser cannon was malfunctioning.
They'd have had us if it hadn't fixed itself.
-[R9-TR2 beeps] -Huh?
