The episode commences with an introductory segment by Jedi Master Kelleran Beq, who provides a summary of the Jedi's history. Three teams of Jedi hopefuls are tasked with demonstrating their prowess, wisdom, and valor to attain the rank of Jedi Knights. We are first acquainted with Zakai and Siena, representing the Purple Team, who share a close bond of friendship. Following them are Paeyton and Paige from the Blue Team, who are sisters. Lastly, we meet Addison and Bryson, the Orange Team, who are also the closest of friends.

Beq elaborates that the team members must face three distinct trials: the strength trials on a faraway planet, the knowledge trials aboard a Jedi star cruiser, and a Jedi Temple challenge trial, all in pursuit of becoming Jedi Knights.

Master Beq then presents his droids, AD-3 and LX-R5, to the children. AD-3 proceeds to examine their data files. Ten-year-old twins Paige and Paeyton declare their team's resilience and intention to overcome their competitors. Addison and Bryson, also ten years old and best friends, express their competitive spirit and determination to excel in the competition. Siena and Zakai, twelve-year-old best friends, emphasize their extensive experience, strong teamwork, and commitment to dominating the competition. AD-3 reminds the children of the essential qualities of a Jedi. The children then collectively chant: strength, knowledge, and bravery.

Beq introduces the children to the Strength Trials, a series of obstacle courses designed to secure the components necessary for constructing their lightsabers. AD-3 explains that the "Leap and Lift" assesses their jumping ability, the "Power Pull" evaluates their strength, "Saber Stability" tests their equilibrium, and the "Swing of Strength" measures their power. Each successful obstacle unlocks a part of their lightsaber hilt. The first two teams to successfully navigate the obstacle courses and retrieve their lightsaber hilts will advance to the subsequent trial.

Beq activates the floating rocks, instructing the children to place their foot on the platform before embarking on their initial trial. The Orange Team begins with the "Swing of Strength," where they must acquire a circle. The Blue Team tackles the "Power Pull," utilizing their token to unlock their hilt piece. The Purple Team engages in the "Leap and Lift," which involves jumping on a machine to reach Meiloorun fruit.

The Orange Team swings across, successfully obtaining their first set of parts. The Purple Team also secures their parts. The Orange and Purple teams are running neck and neck in the lead. Zakai and Siena participate in the "Saber Stability" trial, which involves navigating over moving kids. Paeyton and Paige obtain their parts, catching up with the other two translators.

Addison and Bryson successfully complete the "Leap and Lift" challenge. AD-3 expresses her satisfaction with the teams' remarkable sense of balance. Beq adds all Padawans should have.

Working in unison, the twins Paeyton and Paige retrieve their parts from the "Swing of Strength" obstacle course. They transport their hilt pieces back to the assembly stone. Bryson obtains a portion of his hilt from the Saber Stability challenge. Zakai and Siena obtain their second pieces, with the three teams neck in neck.

Team Purple heads to the Power Pull while Team Orange obtain their third set of pieces. AD-3 thinks this is a tight challenge while LX-R5 beeps. Blue Team also brings their third set of pieces. Team Purple obtains their third set and races to get their final piece. Team Orange obtain their fourth set while the Blue Team navigate the "Saber Stability" challenge.

Zakai and Siena race Addison and Bryson to find their fourth sets of lightsaber parts. Addison and Bryson struggle with their bag packs, which AD-3 remakes are filled with rocks. Preyton and Paige struggle with the "Saber Stability" challenge while Siena and Zakai work together to obtain their fourth set of lightsaber parts. Orange Team obtains their final parts. Blue Team falls behind when one of the twins loses her balance and falls onto the trampoline. She makes a second attempt and gets the device.

Siena and Zakai are the first team to reach the assembly stone and assemble their lightsabers. Addison and Bryson follow shortly and race to assemble their hilts. Paeyton and Paige arrive third place.

As Master Beq announces that the challenge is complete, the team members high five each other. Master Beq congratulates the Purple and Orange teams. He thanks Blue Team for their valiant effort but sends them back to the Jedi Temple to continue their training and hopes to see them again. Paeyton and Paige recall that it was challenging and difficult but fun. Paige advises other Padawans not to give up.

Master Bey guides Teams Blue and Orange aboard the Jedi cruiser Athylia, while AD-3 departs to acquire some oil for her legs. LX-R5 beeps. Bey welcomes the Padawans aboard the Athylia and explains that, as part of the knowledge trial, they are required to listen to a story and subsequently answer questions and locate story-related objects throughout the ship. All answers are to be placed into holocrons. The team that correctly answers the questions first will be awarded these holocrons, which will be needed inside the Jedi Temple.

AD-3 begins the tale. On the rugged planet of Enujut, Peacekeeper Evor Haris extended a welcome to all visitors, most recently a vessel carrying one-legged gray Zemerin, a species of single-legged beings with expertise in repairing anything from starships to food replicators. Later, within the town, Haris intervened in a dispute between a long-eared smuggler and an Ugnaught merchant. Shortly thereafter, he stepped in to resolve a disagreement between a technician and her assistant concerning a purloined orange and white data unit.

Subsequently, two Ewoks engaged in an argument over their respective heights, and a cantina brawl erupted over the palatability of food capsules. Haris, incensed, felt an urge to resort to physical violence. However, a blue protocol droid informed him that these trivial conflicts had arisen immediately following the arrival of the Zemerin. The blue protocol droid told Haris that the Zemerin were telepaths who fed on negative energy and were only there to cause trouble.

Haris, losing his composure, pursued the droid into a transport, hurling insults under Enujut's three suns. The Zemerin trailed behind, eager to feast on the negative energy like scavengers. Abruptly, the transport door slammed shut, and Haris leaped from an emergency hatch. The blue droid departed with the ship and the Zemerin aboard. Observing through macrobinoculars, Haris grinned as the ship vanished from sight. As they blasted off toward their home planet, the Zemerin were going to be hopping mad when they realized that they were tricked.

Beq praised AD-3's storytelling before instructing the teams to divide into pilots and engineers. AD-3 reminds the engineers to obtain items from the cabin and place them on the console while pilots have to press the correct button on the cockpit.

Beq initiates the quiz with the engineers, inquiring about the type of ears possessed by the smuggler. Padawan Bryson is the first to select an object depicting a humanoid with elongated ears. Beq confirms his answer before posing a question to the pilots regarding the number of Ewoks involved in the argument. Seina responds that two Ewoks were arguing. Beq tells the Padawans they were correct, complimenting them for their knowledge.

For the third question, Beq asks the engineers what did Peacekeeper Haris use to watch the Zemerin. Zakai correctly chooses a pair of macrobinoculars, taking the Purple Team to the lead. For the fourth question, Beq asks the pilots what color was the protocol droid. Padawan Addison correctly answers that it was blue, bringing the two teams neck in neck.

For the fifth question, Beq asks the pilots and engineers about the Zemerin's special power. Zakai answers correctly that they had telepathy, bringing the Purple team to the lead. For the sixth question, Beq asks the pilots how many suns did Enuju have. Siena correctly responds that the planet had three suns, giving the Purple team a four to two lead over the Orange Team.

Addison tells Bryson that they have to get this question right. Bryson remarks that he is nervous. For the seventh question, Beq asks the engineers what type of landscape did Enuju have. Bryson correctly replies that Enuju had a rocky landscape, raising the Orange team's points to three against the Purple team's four. AD-3 encourages the Orange team.

For the eighth question, Beq asks the pilots how many legs did the Zemerin have. Siena replies that they had one leg, bringing Purple team to the lead with a tally of five questions to the Purple team's four. Master Beq congratulates the Purple team for their victory while AD-3 remarks that she could not remember the answers to the questions. LX-R5 beeps in the background.

Master Beq tells Bryson and Allison that they should be proud of their accomplishments. While their path to becoming a Jedi Knight is not over, he tells them that they need to return to the Jedi Temple for training. AD-3 tells them to have fun at the Jedi Order and to tell them that she said hi. Addison says that they did the best they can while Bryson says that he is looking forward to the opportunity of doing it again.

Subsequently, Master Beq instructs Siena and Zakai to gather their team's holocrons in preparation for their journey to the Jedi Temple. After placing them in their pouches, the two Padawans enter the cockpit, engaging the hyperdrive to navigate to the Jedi Temple's coordinates.

The Athylia emerges from hyperspace above a rocky planet with two moons. Upon arrival at the Jedi Temple, Master Beq extends a welcome to Siena and Zakai for the Temple trial, prompting AD-3 to inquire about the number of attempts it took him to complete the Jedi trials. Beq dismisses the question as irrelevant and insists on resuming their work. LX-R5 quips.

Beq informs the Padawans that the Jedi Temple lies before them and that they must utilize their acquired knowledge to overcome the mysteries within, ultimately obtaining the kyber crystals necessary to power their lightsabers. He cautions them to exercise patience, as the dark side will tempt them with an easy path forward. While the decision rests with them, he warns that it may impact the later stages of their Temple trial. He urges them to trust in the Force, assuring them that his connection to the Force will enable him to share in their experiences.

Siena and Zakai enter the Temple, ascending to the Galaxy Globe, where they are tasked with matching colors. The two collaborate to align the colors with the machine before separating to slide into the garbage masher. There, they must locate objects that correspond to the glyph patterns on a table. The two work together to find the objects while Beq warns them about the dark side.

While Zakai searches for the objects, the dark side tempts Siena, asking her to touch the panel. Later, Zakai recalls that the dark side was annoying and speaking loudly. In the present, Zakai tells Siena to pick an object with a triangle while the dark side doubts her judgment and claims that time is running out, saying that they will never be Jedi.

While Zakai tells Siena to look for a triangle-shaped object, the dark side goads Siena, telling her to give in to her anger. He tells Zakai to give in to the dark side. Growing frustrated with the trial, Zakai gives in to the dark side and touches the dark side object. The dark side taunts them for falling into his trap. Later, Zakai recalls that Siena would have preferred that they do it the honest way but that he decided to give in to the dark side because he thought it would be shorter.

In the power connector challenge, Zakai and Siena enter a darkened chamber, where they have to connect all the power cables to matching power connectors. The dark side voice tells them to have fun connecting the cables and power connectors in the dark. He taunts them during the trial as the Padawans attempt to connect the objects. He taunts them for Zakai's earlier choice. Despite the dark side's taunts, they manage to complete the challenge, much to the dismay of the dark side.

After the lights return, Zakai and Siena abseil over the frigid ridge as time runs against them. The two of them then navigate the bridge of balance which involves balancing on bridges to light the path across the bridge. Zakai struggles to get his disc to light up however they run out of time. Later, Zakai expresses disappointment at not completing the trials and getting the robe and the lightsaber.

Upon returning to the Temple's exit, Zakai and Siena are greeted by AD-3, who assures them that they were close to completing their trials. Master Beq informs the Padawans that, regrettably, he sensed that the dark side had influenced their judgment during the final trial. While succumbing to their frustrations cost them the trial today, he advises them to cultivate patience. The voice of Yoda reassures them that they will still become Jedi Knights.

Following the trial, Siena reflects that they did pretty good on the Trials of Strength, saying that it was pretty fun. Zakai adds that being athletic and tall gave them an advantage. Siena opines that the questions at the Trials of Knowledge were pretty random and that the some parts of the Temple trials were easy while others were hard. Siena and Zakai say that they were so close. Yoda tells them may the Force be with them always.
