Story[]
In a galaxy fur, fur away, Princess Kitty and her friends unite to save planet Caturn and the entire kitty universe from the purr-fectly clawed clutches of Darth Catnip. It's a high-flyin' sci-fi adventure!
Plot[]
The story begins in a faraway galaxy where Princess Kitty is returning to her home planet of Caturn. During her journey, she and her crew are pursued by the evil Darth Catnip and the Panther Ship. Lieutenant Grinder informs her that they're closing in, and she orders him to fire at will. Grinder attacks, firing a supercharged flea beam at their spaceship. C-3Seal0 informs Master Fluke and Princess Kitty that Hop2-D2 reports they've been hit by the beam. They are hit again, causing Hop2 and C-3 to fall on top of each other. C-3, unable to understand Hop2's beeps and whistles, refuses to help her up, so she gets up on her own. Kitty tells C-3 to stop fooling around and raise the deflector shields, but C-3 explains that the fleas have infested the main computer, and nothing will work for the next few seconds. Fluke remarks that at least there are no fleas inside the ship, but immediately regrets his words as fleas manage to get inside, causing everyone to itch. C-3 still refuses to help Hop2. Suddenly, they realize no one is piloting the ship, which spins out of control. Lieutenant Grinder reports to Darth Catnip that they've succeeded; the princess's ship is completely off course. With Princess Kitty away from Caturn, Darth Catnip seizes the opportunity to take over her planet. The Panther Ship then jumps into hyperspace.
Meanwhile, Kitty hopes that they would be by her home planet by now, as Fluke tells her to not worry and think of this as a slight detour. As the two robots try to evade a swarm of fleas, Hop2's left ear gets caught on the Gravity Control switch, turning it off. C-3 tells her to pull the lever back up before they lose gravity, but it's too late for that. Everyone tries to reactivate it as they float around to try to get to it, but to no avail as the ship plummets to another planet.
Down there, Hobi Catnobi was enjoying the peace and quiet to refresh the inner spirit, as the ship crashes into the river and soaks him, to which he calls "refreshing." He sees the sinking ship and uses all the powers of the Fur to lift it out and set it down to land. Fluke thanks him, wondering how he managed to do such. Hobi tells him that it wasn't easy, recommending to try crashing in a lighter ship next time. Kitty apologizes for causing him any trouble, and before she could introduce herself, Hobi tells her that he knows who they are and why they're here. The special powers given to him by the Fur allow him to know and do much, even get rid of fleas. Fluke is impressed, asking if those coats come in any other size, as Kitty interrupts and asks Hobi how they're going to get out of here.
Hobi and the group arrive at the 931 Flavors Ice Cream Parlor, where he remarks it as the perfect place to relax while their ship is in the repair shop. Kitty suspects that they're not wanted as a large group of space creatures surround them, but Hobi tells her not to worry and to just show them that she wants to make a friend. C-3 says hello to one of them, but the creature growls at him and scares him off and runs into the line and bumps another one. Their ice cream is served as Fluke states that this was a great idea, until the creature angrily splats him with ice cream. C-3 says that he doesn't like the way he holds his spoon, so Hobi retaliates by using the Fur to do the same and splat him with ice cream. The saddened creature runs away and Hobi threatens to do it to them if they cause any trouble, so they all go back to being natural.
Meanwhile at the palace in Caturn, Darth Catnip tells the lieutenant to think of it; she is now the ruler of Caturn, the planet that put the milk in the Milky Way. The universe must obey her every command, or never get another pleasure of milk and ice cream. The lieutenant gives a toast to Darth Catnip, Empress of the Universe.
Back at Hobi's planet, Hobi tells them to hurry back to Caturn if they want to stop Darth Catnip. Kitty thanks him for everything and Hop2 tells him the same. Hobi sees Fluke is sad and asks him what's wrong. Fluke doesn't want to go, thinking that he might only mess up the mission as a pilot and put Kitty in harms way. Hobi hands him his coat to help him meet the challenge ahead, then he tells him to remember that "the power of the Fur really comes from within him." Fluke is amazed and suddenly feels like he can do anything. He says goodbye and thanks, as Hobi says, "May the Fur be with you." The ship blasts off and hyperspace jumps to Caturn, but Hop2 detects a meteor shower, so Fluke activates his defenses to keep them safe.
Back at the palace, Darth Catnip remarks how everything is going perfectly, saying of who would dare challenge her now. A monitor drops down showing Princess Kitty and her crew arriving. She orders him to round up the other pilots and give the princess a welcome she'll never forget.
A group of Star Fighters take off, as Kitty can see that Darth Catnip has already taken over the planet. The fighters begin firing flea beams, as Fluke activates the now working deflector shields to fend them off. They all cheer, but the party is broken up as more fighters close in. C-3 worries that the shields could never hold out that many at once, so Fluke turns the ship upwards as the beams backfire onto the fighters, making Lt. Grinder and his troops itch as they fly out of control. Kitty owes Fluke an apology, remarking that he's quite a pilot. C-3 sees Darth Catnip in the Panther Ship coming towards them, as she attempts to stop them with a mid-air collision. Fluke decides to take evasive action by crashing straight into the cockpit. Kitty takes back her apology as Fluke shamelessly tells her that nobody's perfect. The Panther Ship looses control and everyone evacuates by parachuting down to land. Master Fluke and Darth Catnip now come face to face in a flea blade duel. He tells her that the Fur is mightier than she thinks, until she pushes him on a tree and the coat gets caught on a branch, losing his power of the Fur. He then remembers Hobi Catnobi's advice of where the power comes from, and so he wraps a string of fleas on Darth Catnip and flees, itching and jumping, saying that she'll get even with him soon.
With Princess Kitty in control of Caturn again, she awards Master Fluke with the Honorary Flea Collar to the kingdom for bravery beyond the call of duty. Though not much of a pilot, he is one heck of a hero. Master Fluke thanks Princess Kitty and says, "May the Fur be with you."
The story ends and before the actors could bow, Tuxedo Sam asks Catnip about the fur coat, but she refuses to hand it over. He then decides that she can have the fleas too, as fleas infest Catnip once again and runs off itching with everyone laughing.

Trivia[]
- Hello Kitty said, "Once upon a meow in a galaxy fur, fur away," parodying the famous Star Wars opening quote "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away…."
- Darth Catnip ironically imitates the well known heavy breathing of Darth Vader.
- The quote, "May the Fur be with you," clearly parodies the quote, "May the Force be with you."
- Originally, R2-D2 had one tread-fitted leg on his base, but here, he has two as Hop2-D2. The tread-fitted legs also had their colour changed from white to blue and are never retracted.
