But before you watch Star Wars Rebels Season 1 Episode 1, here's the "Droids in Distress" recap: The crew is low on food and fuel. They are not sure what to do next. Kanan suggests that they steal a weapons shipment. However, they have no idea what types of arms to take from the crime lord. As they reach the spaceport, they ride in the star commuter shuttle and pretend to be strangers.
Sabine and Zeb sit behind an Imperial, Minister Maketh Tua, and her Aqualish companion, Amda Wabo. As there's language barrier between Wabo and Minister Tua, the latter requires the help of a translator. Sabine says she is a Level 5 Imperial Academy student and has the ability to translate. In this process, she is able to know where the "shipment" is situated. It is in Bay 7, she told Ezra to proceed there. Clever as she is, she leads the Imperial to the wrong bay (17).
The group is able to go to Bay 7 and discovers the weapon they will be stealing - T-Z ion disruptors. Banned by the senate, the weapon has the capacity of short-circuiting a whole ship.
Meanwhile, Minister Tua is in Bay 17 and it's empty. C-3PO, who is translating for Wabo, informs the Imperial that the interpreter made a mistake. Minister Tua becomes suspicious, she commands everyone to go to Bay 7 immediately. And then the battle begins as Zeb says whoever wants to get the disruptors must come through him.
They are able to load the crates to the Ghost. C-3PO and R2-D2 join them. Zeb suggests that they do not sell the weaponry but rather take them out of circulation.
What do you think the group will do? What action will Minister Tua do? How will they find the Ghost? Who will help them?
