Plot

Following the events of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Rey, Finn, Poe, Chewbacca, BB-8, R2-D2 and C-3PO seek a relaxing summer vacation aboard Lando Calrissian's luxury Halcyon starcruiser. After being separated from the group on Calrissian's starcruiser, Finn talks to the Force ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Kenobi tells Finn of his previous summer adventures. With Lt. Valeria, a younger Obi-Wan Kenobi dressed in a Hawaiian shirt sneaks into Jabba the Hutt's Palace on Tatooine in order to steal coaxium. Kenobi was originally meant to act as a distraction for Jabba but he performs a musical number called "Gamorrean Girls" alongside Jabba's dancer Sy Snootles. Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader go on vacation to Scariff, the Imperial planet that holds the original plans for the Death Star.
