Plot summary

Assault on Dathomir

On the planet Dathomir, rancors battle against the First Order AT-M6 and AT-ST walkers. The rancors rip apart several walkers, causing them to topple. A stormtrooper on the ground tells Captain Phasma they need to fall back because they are taking many casualties. Phasma orders them to press on with the attack since they must retrieve that Jedi starfighter. As a rancor devours a stormtrooper, Phasma spots the Jedi starfighter with her macrobinoculars. She remarks that Roger's autobiography is horribly written but that it is accurate. She boasts that Kylo Ren will soon have his prize.

Leaving Canto Bight

Back on Canto Bight, Moxie says she is not sure how they are going to help the Resistance if they can't even find their way off Cantonica. Roger proposes taking a show because it is important to keep the arts alive in these dark times. He says they can also get discounted tickets for the Max Rebo Band. Ka Pao bashes Roger on the head for the frivolous suggestion.

Moxie says that there must be something they can do. The trio find the Abednedo businessman Slowen Lo arguing with a tow truck operator about the cost of moving Finn and Rose's Resistance transport pod. When the tow truck operator refuses to move the pod for six credits, Moxie convinces him to let them get the ship of his hands free of charge. Moxie, Roger, and Ka Pao rebuild the damage transport pod and depart Canto Bight. Roger says that if they survive this, he wants to come back and see the Max Rebo show.

Claiming the Jedi starfighter

As the battle rages, the rancors inflict heavy casualties on the First Order walkers and stormtroopers. Phasma manages to collapse a large pillar on top of a rancor and charges forward with a spear. She knocks out two rancors with her spear and reaches the Jedi starfighter before a third rancor can grab her. Phasma then flies the starfighter into a hyperspace transport ring and flies away, leaving her troops behind. As she leaves the planet, she remarks about the things that she does to please Kylo Ren.

Infiltrating the Supremacy

Exiting hyperspace, Moxie and her team find the Raddus under attack from the First Order fleet. They witness the Resistance evacuating the Raddus in U-55 orbital loadlifters. Ka Pao says they should fight but Moxie counters that they are outgunned and need something that will change the equation. Just then, Phasma exits hyperspace in Anakin Skywalker's Jedi starfighter, narrowly avoiding colliding with them.

Roger recognizes it as the Jedi starfighter. Moxie counters that it once belonged to her grandfather and that she is taking it bad. She tells Ka Pao that a ship like that could help the Resistance and that they need it. Roger points out that Captain Phasma is about to land it on a First Order Mega Star Destroyer. Moxie counters that they if they don't do this they will be destroyed anyway. She tells them that they have nothing left to lose. Roger agrees with her reasoning while Ka Pao is enthusiastic.

Moxie crash lands their Resistance pod in one of the Supremacy's hangars and are surrounded by stormtroopers. When the First Order stormtroopers inspect the pod, they find it seemingly empty. Two stormtroopers guard the pod while the others go to retrieve a scanner. Moxie and Ka Pao knock out the stormtroopers and steal their armor. They then hand the ship to their "comrades." Roger emerges from his hiding place behind the tail fin and opines that was the easy part.

Moxie and Ka Pao pretend to be escorting Roger as a prisoner. They run into an officer who asks them where they are taking this droid. Moxie mumbles and Ka Pao speaks in the Drabatese. Moxie claims that Ka Pao's helmet took a bad hit on Takodana and that they will take this Resistance droid for interrogation. The officer tells them that interrogation is the other way and tells Ka Pao to get his helmet mike fixed.

While walking down a corridor, Moxie thinks that she sees a disguised BB-8 moving past them but rules it out. Descending down the lift, Moxie says that this turbolift will lead them straight to the Jedi starfighter. They exit only to find themselves in Supreme Leader Snoke's throne room. Kylo Ren and Rey are fighting against Elite Praetorian Guards. Roger asks why Kylo Ren is joining forces with Rey to fight against the praetorian guards. Moxie says she has no idea and they leave the floor on the lift.

Narrow brush with death

Moxie realizes she read the map wrong but Ka Pao throws it down in frustration. They enter the starfighter hangar only to find themselves surrounded by stormtroopers. The First Order officer says he recognizes Drabatan when he hears it and removes Ka Pao's helmet. He also removes Moxie's helmet and asks if they were trying to steal Kylo Ren's latest acquisition. Moxie says yes.

The officer taunts them that their luck has run out. Moxie tries to distract the officer but it doesn't work. When he asks what she is doing, Moxie says she is hoping that a stampede of fathiers runs them over but says I guess not. Two executioner troopers ignite their laser axes.

At that moment, Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo rams the Raddus into the Supremacy at lightspeed, fragmenting the Mega Star Destroyer. A screaming stormtrooper is hurled into the vacuum of space. When the First Order officer asks what is happening, a stormtrooper says that the Resistance rammed them at lightspeed.

Moxie says it is not farthiers, but she will take it. She knocks out the officer and a stormtrooper. Meanwhile, BB-8 hijacks an AT-ST and chases stormtroopers while Finn duels with Captain Phasma. Ka Pao shields them from stormtroopers by shooting down several docked TIE fighters in the rack above. Climbing over the wreckage, Moxie spots the Jedi starfighter and tells them to get to it fast.

Dogfight above Crait

They climb into the starfighter with Roger sitting in the astromech socket. They escape in the Jedi starfighter but are pursued by several TIE fighters. Unable to maneuver, Moxie detaches the ship from the hyperspace docking ring and swoops behind the TIE fighters, taking them out. She shoots several down and remarks that she now understand why Kylo Ren wanted it. Ka Pao asks for a turn but Moxie says now is not the time.

Roger fires several shots but misses the TIE fighters. They then witness the Millennium Falcon being pursued by several TIE fighters. Moxie realizes that without a fleet the Falcon is the best hope the Resistance has. She contacts Chewbacca via comlink and tells him that they have gotten the TIEs on the Falcon's tail.

The Jedi starfighter takes out two TIE fighters but two more swoop behind it and managed to shoot off one of its vents. Ka Pao tells Moxie they are being pursued but Moxie is unable to shake them off. Roger is unable to shoot straight. With the ship losing power, Roger tells Moxie that for three generations he has protected this family and he is not quitting now.

Roger's courage

Against Moxie's protests, he ejects himself from the astromech socket and flies into the path of the TIEs. For once, Roger manages to hit a _target and take out a TIE fighter. That TIE goes up in flames and its solar collector collides with the second TIE fighter. Roger is hit by debris.

To honor Roger's apparent sacrifice, Moxie takes out the two remaining TIEs pursuing the Falcon, allowing Chewbacca to fly unhindered into Crait's surface to evacuate the Resistance. Moxie resolves to go save the Resistance but their engines are too damaged. She tells Ka Pao that they don't have enough power to land on Crait and depart the planet. She proposes jumping away before the First Order finishes them.

Ka Pao reminds her of the hyperspace docking ring. Moxie flies the Jedi starfighter toward the hyperspace ring and says that is why she is a fan of the built-in hyperdrive. A damaged Roger, who is flying in space, asks for a ride and Moxie picks him up with the Jedi starfighter. Roger says he feels a little better this way. Several TIE fighters approach them but they dock with the hyperspace ring and jump into hyperspace in time.

Continuing the Resistance

Exiting hyperspace, they crash-land on an asteroid orbiting a moon. Moxie contacts General Organa, but is unable to get through. Roger, who has been working on the Jedi starfighter's engines with Ka Pao, tells him to try it now. However, the fighter releases exhaust fumes. Moxie tells them to turn it off.

When Roger asks why they are trying to fix the Jedi starfighter, Moxie replies that the Resistance is going to need it. Roger points out they have heard nothing from the Resistance and speculates that they did not make it off Crait and are gone. Moxie says they would still need that starfighter for themselves even if the Resistance is gone because they are now the Resistance.

Just then the buzzer rings and they receive a message from General Leia Organa calling all members of the Resistance and asking if anyone is there. Moxie introduces herself and her crew and ship. General Organa says that the situation is desperate and that if they are to rebuild they will need all the help they can get.

Moxie says that her family knows how to build. General Organa tells them to meet at a rendezvous point and says "May the Force be with you" before ending transmission. Roger says they need to fix that starfighter. Moxie tells them to reroute the power coupling and to bypass that vector plate. Ka Pao agrees. The episode ends with a wide shot of the moon orbiting the asteroid.
