Synopsis

Plot
Brightstar learns to fly the Crimson Firehawk under the guidance of Nash Durango. Due to his inexperience, he causes some damage to the starship. Back at the Tenoo Jedi Temple, Master Zia sends Brightstar, Solay, and Nubs to collect Jedi Vector trainers from the Mon Calamari Zepher on Tenoo's largest moon. Durango flies her friends there and takes them on a test flight. During the test flight, Brightstar awakens a space slug while attempting a "throttle buster" manuever. After the slug swallows his friends, Brightstar under Durango's guidance leads the space slug on a chase and frees his friends. Master Zia decides the younglings are ready to start flight lessons.
