Zeb, Chopper, and AP-5 encounter a seemingly harmless protocol droid that ends up turning into a major threat while the rest of the Rebels are on a training exercise.
Zeb draws the short straw and is left behind at Chopper base while the rest of Phoenix Squadron heads out to engage in a drill. Chopper and AP-5 are left behind with him, and in short order, the three of them are getting on each others nerves. Then a strange and unidentified droid is found on the outskirts of the base. Naturally, they bring it back to base, but a message from Fulcrum reveals the droid is more than they thought it was initially.
In this fully armed and operational episode, we discuss:
- The story evolution of “Warhead,”
- The developing chemistry between Zeb, Chopper, and AP-5,
- The inspiration of the infiltrator droid,
- How Zeb, Chopper, and AP-5 overcome the infiltrator droid, and
- Thrawn’s reaction to the final outcome of the infiltrator droid returning to the Empire.
