Prince Astor and Princess Verbina, siblings, are sent by their parents, the rulers of the planet Chrystallis to find the Royal Navy. Their mission goes awry and they wind up on Earth. Jack sees them crash land but some of Aku's minions get to the royal siblings before him.
Astor and Verbina are taken to Aku. They tell him about their mission in the hopes that he will help them. He does not help them. Jack, disguised as one of Aku's troops, rescues the prince and princess. He helps them get back to their spaceship but then he has to fight off more of Aku's robots as the siblings prepare to leave.
Astor and Verbina stick around long enough to help Jack defeat the robots.
Thoughts
There are a lot of nods to the original Star Wars (aka A New Hope) in this episode. They have a robotic companion named Chitron 6, who sounds a lot like C-3PO. There are a number of lines that are either lifted directly or slightly modified versions of lines from the first Star Wars movie.
I don't think this episode would hold up very well if it didn't have the nods to Star Wars.
