This week's episode is the second in a four-part story arc.  D-Squad, led by Colonel Meebur and consisting of five droids including R2-D2, crash land on the planet Afabar.  Determined to complete the mission begun last week, Artoo leads his fellow droids across the wasteland.  Meebur reluctantly tags along.  The most interesting part of the story is an argument between Meebur and droid WAC-47 weighing the value of a soldier's training and intuition against a robot's programming.

WAC-47 is a DUM-series pit droid.  This arc is his only canon appearance.  He is voiced by Ben Diskin.

Next week: "Missing in Action."
