As the opening theme music played, clips of previous shows aired, capped with Dooku shaking his head after hitting a Raffi space. The contestant turntable then rotated 180° to reveal the host and the day's contestants.

[These three players are here to be part of the madness! Here is Good Luck on the Trigger with our host, Alan Tuumen.]

"Thanks and welcome to the next quarterfinal in our madness tournament. So far, our games have been action-packed; we hope to say the same again today. Let's meet our contestants for today.

"First, we have our 22nd seed, a skilled bounty hunter in search of credits today, Bossk."

"Thanksss," Bossk hissed slightly. "This sounds like a fun challenge. I should do well."

"Let's hope. Next, we have our 15th seed. She's a former Jedi Padawan who can do anything except maybe make space waffles. Let's greet Ahsoka Tano."

"Thanks, I think," Ahsoka replied. "I'm curious how this works, but it would be nice to win credits today."

"You'll find out more in a moment. Finally, we have our fourth seed. This awesome astromech needs no introductions, so let's meet Artoo-Detoo."

«Your kind words flatter me. Let's hope your game is just as droid-friendly,» Artoo answered.

"With introductions out of the way, let's get started. Everyone gets spins to try to win credits on our game board. Watch out for Raffi, he'll take you back to zero any time you land on his space. Worse yet, four Raffis mean an early exit.

"For our first round, Bossk has two spins while both Ahsoka and Artoo have four each. Because we start with least spins first this round, Bossk starts us off."

"Excellent," Bossk said. "Let's see how lucky I can be today with these spins. Stop!"

"Five fifty. That's a good start. You have one more spin."

"Let's get more of the sssame here. I want a nice score. Stop!"

"Stop on 800 more, giving you 1350. That's not bad for two spins. Now, because we have a tie between Ahsoka and Artoo for spins, we'll start with the player farthest to my left. That's Ahsoka. Go for it."

"Let's see what I can get here to start off. Any credit amount works here. Stop."

"Go back one space to Raffi."

"That wasn't very lucky."

As the audience groaned, Raffi sawed a hole from underneath Ahsoka's score. He popped out of it to laugh until the piece he cut off fell back down and hit him on the head. Afterwards, a Raffi indicator popped up in front of Ahsoka.

"You still have three spins, so let's hope you can get something in the right direction," Alan stated.

"Let's hope, indeed," Ahsoka replied. "Alright, I have three spins, let's get something good. Stop."

"Three hundred and a spin. That makes up for the last one as you still have three."

"Now, we're making progress. Let's get credits again or that big space. Stop!"

"How about our biggest value of the round—1500 credits?"

The audience cheered as Ahsoka pumped her fist.

"Ahsoka, you've taken the lead with 1800 credits—450 more than Bossk—and you have two spins. Play or pass?"

"I have to go one more time," She told Alan. "Let's get more credits here so I can pass this spin. No more Raffi... Stop!"

"Four fifty. That gives you 2250 and a 900-credit lead."

"I want to pass my last spin."

"Bossk, you have to take the spin because you have next-highest score. Let's see if you can close the gap here."

"She doesn't know who she's up against," Bossk replied. "Let's get that big space, too. Stop!"

"Stop on 400 credits. You now have 1750, just 500 behind Ahsoka. Now, we go to Artoo and his four spins."

Artoo chose not to interact and instead silently took his first spin.

"Two hundred credits for Artoo. Three more spins."

Once again, Artoo silently took his next spin."

"Raffi!"

Artoo's dome-like head made a complete revolution as he warbled sadly. Raffi appeared, using a hydrospanner to fix a droid. Suddenly, Raffi electrocuted himself, his tail feathers falling off.

"Apparently, you're not the only droid that dislikes Raffi," Alan quipped. You still have two spins for earning credits."

Artoo took the next spin without hesitation.

"Stop on 300 and a spin. That almost makes up for the last one. You still have two spins."

Artoo opted to spin again, eager to close the gap between himself and his opponents.

"Stop on '100 and one Vulture Gone.' That gives you double benefit; the 100 credits gives you 400 in total, and you lose your Raffi."

Artoo warbled as the Raffi indicator disappeared, indicating he now had none.

"Artoo, you have one spin. You have 400 credits and trail by quite a bit. You can take the spin or pass to Ahsoka."

«I'll take it,» Artoo replied, surprising the audience.

"Go for it."

Artoo waited before stopping the board on what looked to be his final spin.

"Stop on 212. After one round, Artoo has 612. Bossk has 1750. Ahsoka has the lead with 2250 and a Raffi. Stay tuned for the big second round in a moment."

"Welcome back to Good Luck on the Trigger. Our madness tournament has been quite exciting with two players battling with the other not out of it either. Let's get the spin allocation and review the scores," Alan told everyone.

"Bossk has 1750 credits and three spins this round. Ahsoka, you'll play last with 2250 credits and three spins. Artoo, with 612 credits will play first with five spins. We've increased the credits this round, but remember that Raffi lurks when you least expect him."

Artoo, eager to catch up to the others took his first spin quickly.

"One thousand credits. That puts you right back into the game with 1612. You're only 138 behind Bossk for second place with four more spins."

Artoo played his next spin.

"Three fifty more. With 1962 credits, you move into second place—288 behind Ahsoka—with three spins to try to pass her."

Artoo selected an option on his podium to indicate his desire to play again and took another spin.

"Stop on 501. You did it, Artoo. You've taken the lead with 2463 credits. Will you play or pass with two spins."

Artoo quickly calculated his strategy and chose to play again, waiting a bit before stopping the board.

"Stop on 500 and a spin. Artoo, you have 2963 and you still have your two spins."

Artoo chose to play again, drawing cheers from the audience as they looked on in suspense to see what he'd earn next.

"Raffi!"

The audience groaned loud enough it drowned out Artoo's sad warble. Raffi appeared and laughed at the Artoo before an anvil dropped on his head.

"Artoo, the bad news is you lost everything and have a Raffi again. The good news is you have a spin and Big Loot could give you the lead if you hit it at the right time."

Alan hadn't finished before Artoo chose the play option. Eager to get a good value on his last spin, Artoo quickly stopped the board.

"Stop on another Raffi."

Artoo rotated his dome in disbelief. Raffi appeared and pecked at Artoo's display before his beak disintegrated.

"Artoo, it appears Raffi likes droids more than they like him. You have no credits, two Raffis and no more spins. But you never know what else could happen here. Bossk plays next with 1750 and three spins."

"Let'ssss get Big Loot and take the lead here," Bossk replied before stopping the game board.

"Five hundred. That gives you 2250—good for a tie with Ahsoka—and two spins."

"I'm going to pass that former padawan right here with big credits... Stop!"

"Five hundred more brings you up to 2750 with one more spin."

Ignoring half the audience's pleas to pass, Book replied, "Let's finish with Big Loot so I can take a small break from bounty hunting... Stop!"

"Stop on 250. Bossk, you finish with an even 3000. Now, we go over to Ahsoka who has 2250 and three spins. You need at least 750 credits to stay in the game."

"That should be easy to get here. Look at these great spaces. Let's hope I can find one of them now and stop!"

"There's 400 credits for you. Twenty-six fifty now with two spins. You need 350 more."

"I'll definitely play here. Let's get 350 or more on this spin to keep the game interesting. Stop!"

"Three thousand credits! That's the biggest value on the board."

Bossk shook his head in disbelief as the audience loudly cheered and applauded.

"Ahsoka, you have 5650 with a spin. You could take the spin yourself, but a Raffi would mean Bossk advances. Or, you can pass and hope he doesn't get 2650 or more credits."

"Pass," Ahsoka quickly replied.

"Bossk, you either need 3000 credits or something with a spin to help you here. Let's see what happens."

"I'm feeling lucky, Alan," Bossk replied. "Let's get that same space and take the win... Stop!"

"Go back one space to 'Choose A Corner.' Your choices are: 650, 250, 1000, or 500."

Bossk, realizing none of those values would help him, finally answered, "Give me the thousand."

"It's not enough, as you probably realized. So, today's winner with 5650 credits is Ahsoka!"

Ahsoka raised her arms in victory as the board silently updated and the audience cheered.

"Bossk, Artoo, you both played well until the end. We have parting gifts to thank you for joining us. Ahsoka, you advance to the semifinal where you'll play Jabba the Hutt and the winner of tomorrow's quarterfinal between Darth Vader, Princess Leia, and Qui-Gon Jinn."

"Nice," Ahsoka replied, her lekku twitching at the mention of Vader.

"Until then, thank you for watching Good Luck on the Trigger. So far, this has definitely been madness. We'll see you again."
