Nearing the end of the first year of the D&D animated series, we get an episode that does something that is somewhat rare in the D&D universe but which has actually happened before. In this episode our party discovers a group of lost children who want to get their ship back, meaning their spaceship. So we have that uncommon fantasy/scifi mix here.

This is not a first, back in 1980 we had the module S3: Expedition to the Barrier Peaks, that already did this, but in a much different way, there the spaceship is actually a dungeon that players get to explore. In this episode the spaceship is about the size of a small truck, so none of that.

We also get a reference to Star Wars in this episode, with one of the party members calling the adult alien a “Wookie”, as a big SW fan myself this is always fun and there aren’t that many intersections between D&D and Star Wars. As usual a fun and really well animated episode that is very much worth tracking down!
