I can't believe we found a Kyber Saber crystal here on Takodana.
Naare didn't even know there was one here.
And with any luck, she never will.
- Fire it up, Roger. - Roger, roger.
Ha! Purring like a nexu.
We're good to go.
Some things are finally going right.
Whoa!
But we still got plenty wrong!
It's Naare! How'd she find us?
Naare got the crystal!
Come on! Roger! Get us in the air!
Punch in the coordinates for the leap to hyperspace! Where to?
Aaah! Anywhere but here.
Well, they're gone!
But they're not out of reach.
How did Naare find us?
That planet wasn't on her map.
The crystal was supposed to be on Rodia.
Did she put a tracking device on our ship?
Nah. I don't think so. But she's obviously working with Graballa now.
Somebody on Takodana might have recognized us.
The real problem is I just lost another crystal to Naare.
I'm doing a terrible job of saving the galaxy.
Well, the Kyber Saber can't function without all its parts.
It needs every crystal.
Yeah, and thanks to me, Naare's got most of 'em.
Most... but not all.
If we can just get one crystal, she can't assemble the Kyber Saber.
And we win!
And no one's better at finding crystals than this guy.
There's one on Ningoth.
Water planet. Bad for battle droids.
One on Hoth.
Ice planet. Worse for battle droids.
And one on Naboo.
The battle droid graveyard? Seriously?
So, where do we go first?
Uh, who votes for none of the above? Let's see. Um, one hand.
Anybody else?
Mmm, Naboo's the closest.
And the easiest. Naare will expect us to go there first.
So, we're going all the way to Ningoth.
Fine, but if I rust, it's on your heads.
Okay, okay.
I give you my newest creation,
the ultra high-tech Z-Sub!
Aw! It's so cute!
What? It's not cute. It's rugged!
It's adorable.
It's even got a smiley face.
Okay, that's a tactical underwater geomapper.
I just wanna tickle its chin.
Who's a sweet widdle submarine?
That is not a chin. It's a pressure-resistant hull, watertight to...
I'm gonna call it the Bubbly Subbly.
Aw! Bubbly Subbly.
Come here, little Bubbly Subbly.
It is not cute, and you are not calling it that!
We're here!
I feel the crystal below us somewhere.
All right. Everybody into the Bubbly Subbly.
Ha! You called it the Bubbly Subbly.
It is kinda cute.
Let's do it.
Good luck! No way I would get into that thing.
Okay, Rowan, take us to the crystal.
It's to the left.
No. Right!
No, it's left. Right.
No, no, more... more right.
Upside down!
Now go up. Down.
More down. Up again.
Up! Do a barrel roll!
Rowan! You're all over the place.
Yeah, I'd like to find the crystal before I lose my lunch.
Sorry. Hey, it's okay.
Just take a deep breath and focus.
It's over there.
Yes! See? You just had to let it come to you.
It is coming to us.
Fast!
Fish!
Look out!
Where are you going? We gotta get the crystal from that fish!
If we stay here, the only thing we're getting is eaten.
Yes!
I can't see anything!
Oh. Oh.
Wait! It's going after the other fish.
It must use light as bait.
Our spotlight was drawing away his lunch.
Maybe we could trade him our spotlight for the crystal?
Great idea, except our spotlight's broken now.
I can fix this.
Rowan, you did it!
All right, fish, let's make a trade.
Easy now.
Nice fish! Nice fish!
- Got it! - Yes! We did it!
We got the Kyber Saber crystal!
All right, Roger. Hoist us up.
Hey, you actually made it back. Good for you.
We got our one crystal.
Now Naare won't be able to...
Whoa! What was that?
How'd she find us? Again!
I told you we should've gone to Hoth.
You did not!
She's hooked on to us! Roger, get us out of here!
Right now I got my own problems.
Battle stations!
Roger! You're supposed to be pulling us in.
Never mind that. Release the cable! Release the cable!
- Roger, roger! - No! No!
Oh, yes, yes!
Yeah!
- Roger, come pick us up. - Hang on!
I gotta get the tow cable ready.
Yes! No time. Just open the scoop.
But how are we going to get in without the tow cable? -Leave that to me.
The crystal!
- Got it! - Close the scoop.
What? No!
Not again.
No! Stop!
No.
Sorry, Rowan. We gotta go.
Activate the hyperdrive.
You want me to launch into hyperspace on the surface of a planet?
Just do it!
How many times is Naare going to take a crystal right out of my hands?
I just want to know how she found us again.
It's like she knows where we're going even before we get there.
It didn't help that we went to a planet where we're the only thing on the surface.
- It made us easy to spot. - See that, Rowan?
You're not the only one who's terrible at this.
You always know just what to say, Roger.
I know. It's a gift.
So, seawater in the engines.
Whew! That is not gonna be cheap to fix.
So is that one that you pay for,
or we... we split or what?
I am not concerned with such trivialities.
Oh, who is? Neither am... I'm not!
It's just, you know, this... this operation's getting a little pricey.
I can't help notice that so far, you know,
you're just bringing you to the table,
whereas me, you know, I got men and I got ships,
I got a food bill longer than my tail.
Graballa, relax.
We got the crystal, and those trash pickers actually think they escaped.
Everything is proceeding as planned.
Your plan, lady. But I got my own plan.
I got... Dengar!
Oh! Were we doing that now?
Yes, Dengar, we were doing that now.
Okay. Sorry, sorry. Close the door. Do it again! Do it again!
Nope. The moment is gone.
I'm ready. It's gone!
Naboo.
There's enough people here. We'll be harder to spot.
I'm sensing... the crystal.
It's over there, in that old palace.
Um, I don't think that's a palace anymore.
Drop your credits into the donation box,
and your journey into my museum will be complete!
Drop your credits into the donation box, and your journey into my museum...
Excuse me. Out of the way.
Palpatine's number-one fan coming through!
I'd like the super-deluxe VIP tour, please,
unless there's anything fancier than that, in which case, I would like something fancier.
"The Palpatine Museum"?
