Jedi younglings Lys, Kai, and Nubs are on a training mission, dropped into a swampy wilderness by Master Yoda and tasked with a scavenger hunt. The younglings encounter a series of ever-more-fantastical monsters and come up with creative (and nonviolent) solutions to each encounter. This was a reasonable introduction to this all-ages series, although much like Marvel's old Ewoks series, the creatures felt more like generic fantasy monsters than something with the flavor of Star Wars. Still, this was fun and easy to get into and follow.
The backup story is an Avatar: The Last Airbender story featuring some interesting variations on existing characters. Their battle against Fire Nation soldiers in a ramen shop is fun, but the ending is (intentionally) a bit of a cop-out.
Rating: 5.5
