About the Show
This show takes place between Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi. It's about a family of three siblings called the Freemakers. There's Rowan, the youngest boy, his sister Kordi, and their older brother Zander.
They make a living by finding parts from broken spaceships. Then, they build new ships to sell from their shop on a space station called the Wheel. They also have a friendly battle droid named R0-GR.
The Freemakers get pulled into the big fight between the Galactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance. This happens when Rowan finds a piece of an old, powerful artifact called the Kyber Saber. Rowan soon learns he has a special connection to the Force. He meets a mysterious Force-user named Naare.
Rowan and his siblings go on an adventure. They meet new and familiar faces from the Star Wars universe. In the second season, the Freemakers join the Rebel Alliance. They are looking for parts to build a super-strong ship called the Arrowhead. Rowan saw this ship in a vision. It's powered by a special kyber crystal and might help defeat the Empire.
But their mission is tough! They are chased by MO-C, a droid built by Emperor Palpatine to capture Rowan. Darth Vader is also after kyber crystals. He needs them to power the Empire's new battle station, the Death Star II.
