Plot summary[]

The Star Destroyer Decimator approaches Tatooine, carrying 12-4C-41's Droid Army. 12-4C-41's assistants question his plans, but persist towards the desert planet. Meanwhile, planetside, the bikers Big Gizz, Spiker, and Twitch wait in Ben Kenobi's hut. There, a group of Jawas investigate the threesome's swoops, but are warded off. Big Gizz decides to go to Mos Eisley for a drink, before returning to Jabba's Palace.

At Chalmun's Cantina, however, 12-4C-41 ("Wuntoo") and his Droid Army attack, seeking the location of Jabba's palace. The bikers, however, prepare to fight back. They defend the cantina, but one of the bikers realizes that Wuntoo has stolen a swoop, headed for Jabba's Palace. Tracking the droid to Docking Bay 94, the biker is unable to stop it heading for the Palace, but instead continues tracking Wuntoo on his swoop. The chase eventually ends at Beggar's Canyon, where Wuntoo is defeated. However, his army, aboard the drone barge, rescues him and captures the biker. The biker escapes, however, and contacts Jabba's Palace, warning them of the impending attack, before they are confronted by Wuntoo. Jabba's security forces attack and drive off the barge, while the biker safely escapes. Big Gizz, Spiker, and Twitch tell Jabba that the droids intended to assassinate the crime lord, blurring the truth somewhat. Jabba, enraged, orders Bib Fortuna to recall all bounty hunters and send them after Wuntoo's army.
