Dark Helmet had to save President Skroob from the Druidians before the New Sith Empire they were building was destroyed and he was blamed for it!

To save President Skroob, Dark Helmet needed to steal something to rescue him with and escape from the Juraian Empire at the same time before anyone noticed what he was doing!

To his credit no one thought Dark Helmet would steal hot air balloons to smuggle himself across the planet into the hands of the Rebellion fighting the Earth Governments that welcome the Juraian people to their planet!
