Odra crisis

Sometime prior to the Battle of Endor, four siblings – the Snow King, the Sun King, the Leaf Queen, and the Flower Queen – established themselves on Endor's forest moon. Utilizing the Season Scepter, a powerful artifact capable of manipulating the weather, the siblings governed the seasonal transitions. The scepter was passed between them during these changes. Consequently, the Flower Queen wielded the scepter during spring, the Sun King during summer, the Leaf Queen during autumn, and the Snow King during winter. The siblings maintained a harmonious relationship, freely exchanging the scepter. Regrettably, this system was on the verge of collapse.

Odra, the Duchess of Sleet, ensnared the Snow King, chilling his heart and bending his will to her own. Odra coveted the Sunstar, a magical gem belonging to the Ewoks of Bright Tree Village. Hoping to leverage the Snow King's power over the Season Scepter to seize the Sunstar, she manipulated him to achieve her aims. Odra persuaded the Snow King to steal the Season Scepter from the Sun King and use its power to plunge Endor into an eternal winter. With all of Endor's inhabitants frozen, Odra and her lover would be free to claim the Sunstar.

Executing their scheme, the Snow King dispatched his forces, the Iceheads, to seize the Season Scepter. While the Sun King was relaxing outside his palace, the Iceheads ambushed him, snatching the scepter and immediately altering the weather. Utilizing the scepter's power, the Iceheads froze the lake adjacent to the Sun King's palace and assaulted him before absconding with the valuable artifact. The Sun King was baffled by these events, unsure of what transpired. The cold intensified with the Snow King in possession of the scepter, and soon, snow blanketed the forest moon.

To prevent the Snow King and his mistress from freezing the planet, the other siblings formed an alliance to stop their brother. Under the Leaf Queen's leadership, the group decided to contact the Ewok Shaman Logray at Bright Tree Village. They hoped that Logray's use of the Sunstar might break Odra's hold over their brother and restore his senses. Using her powers, the Leaf Queen was able to transmit a message through the Sunstar at Bright Tree Village. With her face and voice transmitting through the magical stone, the Leaf Queen pleaded for Logray to save them from the terrible snows, requesting that he come quickly to the siblings headquarters at the Sun King's palace.

However, the message was not received by Logray, but by the young Ewoks, Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka, Wicket Wystri Warrick, Teebo, and Latara, who were also searching for Logray, trying to find an explanation for the large snowfall. Upon hearing the message, young Wicket decided to answer the Leaf Queen's call for help, due to Logray's unexplained absence. The Leaf Queen had sent a flying leaf to shuttle Logray to the palace, and the four Ewoks boarded the craft, which began to carry them back to the siblings' headquarters.

As the Ewoks surveyed the frozen Strutter Village and Mimph village, they were spied upon by Odra and the Snow King, who watched their progress through a transmitting screen in the Snow Palace. Believing that the Ewoks were bringing the Sunstar to the Leaf Queen, the Snow King sent out several Iceheads to stop the group. As the flying leaf soared over the mountains to get to the Sun King's palace, several iceheads jumped from the peaks onto their craft, inciting a struggle. Two iceheads were able to capture Kneesaa, pushing her off the leaf and into the snow below. The other Ewoks were able to fight off their attackers, removing them from the flying leaf. Although Wicket tried to turn the craft around and rescue Kneesaa, the leaf eventually crash landed in the snow outside of the Sun King's palace. While the Iceheads brought their captive back to the Snow Palace, the other Ewoks entered the Snow Palace, hoping that she would help them rescue their friend.

The Leaf Queen explained the situation to the Ewoks and asked for the Sunstar, knowing that it would help them defeat Odra and redeem their brother. However, the Ewoks had left the Sunstar back at their village, and they explained that they had no idea as to the whereabouts of Logray. The three siblings were thrown into a panic over the news, as the snows on Endor were becoming increasingly worse, threatening to freeze the entire moon.

As the Leaf Queen attempted to contact Logray again, the three Ewoks decided to mount a rescue attempt on their own. Using the flying leaf once again, the Ewoks left the Sun King's palace on a course for the Snow Palace. Landing covertly outside the palace entrance, the Ewoks witnessed several Iceheads in formation, on their way back to the Snow Palace. Capitalizing on the opportunity, Wicket and the other Ewoks used the snow to craft disguises, changing their appearance to look like Iceheads. The three Ewoks fell into formation and entered the Snow Palace undetected, using their disguises to sneak into the Snow King's throne room.

The Ewoks watched as the Snow King confronted Kneesaa as to the whereabouts of the Sunstar, eventually freezing her in a block of ice with the Season scepter. Odra praised the Sun King's actions, deciding that they could trade the Ewok Princess for the Sunstar. After overhearing the Snow King's plans, the three Ewoks disguised themselves as ice-on-a-stick peddlers and entered the throne room. The Ewoks succeeded in distracting the Snow King, who dropped the scepter to the ground, but they were unable to steal it from him. With their plot foiled, and the deception revealed, the Snow King used the scepter to attack the Ewoks, and he ordered his Iceheads to capture the intruders.

As a fight broke out in the palace, the Ewoks fought off the Iceheads and incapacitated Odra. In the midst of the fighting, Wicket was able to direct a pushcart at the Snow King, knocking him off his feat, and depriving him of the Season scepter. As Teebo took control of the powerful artifact, it seemed that the battle would be over. However, Teebo's control over the device was amateurish at best, and the scepter began to fire bolts of energy around the room, nearly skewering Latara in the process. As the Ewok struggled to gain control over the device, Odra and the Snow King advanced on Teebo, ready to take back the scepter. Unfortunately for the two lovers, before they could overpower Teebo, Wicket rushed to his aid, helping him to take control of the device.

A powerful blast emitted from the scepter, striking the Snow King and his mistress. Odra began to immediately shrink from the attack, and her influence on the Snow King was suddenly broken. As Odra fled from the Ewoks and the Snow Palace, the Snow King came back to his senses, distraught over the trouble he had caused.

The Ewoks confronted the Snow King, asking him to release Kneesaa from the block of ice he had frozen her in. The Snow King apologized over his actions, unfreezing Kneesaa, and using the Season scepter to return Endor to the summer season. As the snows melted away, the Snow King's other siblings, as well as Logray and Chief Chirpa, entered the Snow Palace, delighted over the turn of events. The Snow King gave the Season scepter back to the Sun King. With the crisis averted, the Snow King gave Wicket a trophy for his Belt of Honor, an Icehead club.

The Odra crisis is the primary conflict in the Ewoks episode, The Season Scepter, written by Bob Carrau. The conflict marks the last appearance of Odra, as well as the Snow King and his siblings.
