Plot summary

Imperial stormtroopers are closing in on Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa, C-3PO, and R2-D2 when they are saved by the elemental powers of Fire, Rain, Wind, and Earth. While the Imperials are distracted, the Rebels and the elemental children flee deeper into the Keeper's Temple, where they come face to face with The Keeper, a powerful mass of computerized technology. The Keeper chastises the children for allowing her presence to be discovered, and despite the protests of the children she strikes the Rebels with a powerful energy beam.
