    • As the Clone Wars scorches its destructive path across the galaxy, it is the Jedi who bring order to the chaos. Though as the war progresses, the number of Jedi have declined and new younglings are harder to find.
    • When younglings are located, they brought to the Jedi Temple and learn quickly that their true family is now the Jedi Order. The trials are hard and tests must be passed, but none is as important as "The Gathering." It is then that a Jedi's path will truly begin.
    • On Coruscant, six younglings of different ages -- a human boy, a male Wookiee, a female Rodian, a male Nautolan, a Tholothian girl, and a male Ithorian -- run excitedly towards an impressive Jedi cruiser, the Crucible. They join Ahsoka Tano and R2-D2 who stand at the foot of the ship's entry ramp. These top students are about to undergo "The Gathering," a great challenge and honor to be faced by prospective Jedi.
    • The Crucible soars towards the sacred Jedi planet of Ilum. The ancient vessel lands in the frigid wilderness, and the six younglings emerge, bundled in cold weather gear. Ahsoka and R2-D2 lead the children to the apparent dead-end of a frozen cliff face.
    • Ahsoka instructs the students to concentrate together in the Force. With their hands outstretched, the younglings cause sheets of ice to fall from the cliff-face, exposing a temple entrance ahead. Ahsoka notes that the sun is starting to rise on Ilum. They must hurry.
    • Inside the temple sits Jedi Master Yoda, who welcomes the younglings. Yoda explains that "The Gathering" is the ancient Jedi ritual that sees the harvesting of living crystals from the Ilum caverns to become the heart of a new lightsaber. Using the Force, Yoda opens a large metal door overhead that lets a shaft of sunlight into the chamber. The beam points towards a large iced-over doorway, and begins to melt the obstruction.
    • Ahsoka tells the younglings that once they find their crystal, they must leave the tunnels. Should the sun set, the door will freeze over and seal the entrance for an entire rotation -- the equivalent of 19 days. The children had best find the crystal uniquely suited to them before becoming trapped inside.
    • Within the caves, Petro, the impulsive Corellian boy, is determined to be the first to find a crystal. He runs into the darkness, leaving the other younglings behind.
    • The remaining younglings decide to split up, relying on their instincts and attunement to the Force to tell them which way to go. The timid Ithorian child, Byph, is terrified at going it alone, but his friends encourage him to continue.
    • Inside a chamber filled with dramatic icicles, Petro finds a gleaming crystal. He plucks it from its icy perch and pockets it with a sense of pride.
    • Inside a cliff-lined cavern, Katooni the Tholothian girl sees the glint of a crystal. The Nautolan boy, Zatt, can't see it -- but such is the way of an Ilum crystal: it calls only to the Jedi that will bond with it. Katooni begins climbing towards the glimmering shard while Zatt continues to search for his. Katooni is uncertain she can make such a climb, but she keeps reassuring herself to continue.
    • In another cave, filled with a frozen lake, the Wookiee boy Gungi senses his crystal, but the ice is too thin to tread upon. He must be patient, and wait until the sun moves past this chamber, and the lake fully freezes.
