Mungo Baobab and his droids, Threepio and Artoo, are trailing the Rainbow comets of Manda in search of the fabled Roon system. Before they get there, they make an enemy out of the greedy Governor Koong. On Roon, they meet Auren Yomm and join her Umbo racing team in the Roon Games. Mungo takes up his old uncle Ogger's quest of finding the source of the valuable Roonstones. Meanwhile, Koong uses germ warfare against the rebellious province of Umboo and it becomes a race against time to find a cure for the Rooze infection. Written by Il Tesoro

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This film is actually a compilation of four Droids TV episodes from 1985, edited together with new bridging material after the show's cancellation.
The Roonstones were later canonized in the 2014 mobile game Star Wars: Galactic Defense, making this one of the few Expanded Universe elements to survive the Legends purge.
