It's the early 1960s and fifth-grader Scott Smalls has just moved into town with his folks. Kids call him a dork - he can't even throw a baseball. But that changes when the leader of the neighborhood gang recruits him to play on the nearby sandlot field.

Fleeing the evil Galactic Empire, the rebels abandon their new base on Hoth. Princess Leia, Han Solo, R2-D2 and C-3P0 escape in the damaged Millenium Falcon. Later, on Bespin, they are captured by Lord Darth Vader. Luke Skywalker, meanwhile, follows Ben Kenobi's posthumous command and receives Jedi training by Yoda on Dagobah.
