"It's too big a job for you to do by yourself. Fortunately, Nevarro has attracted the best droidsmiths of the Outer Rim. They'll have IG back to his old self in no time." Greef tells them, stopping outside a building. Din stops the cart he pushed with Grogu and the remains of IG-11. 

"Are you sure they're up for it? I don't think we can handle him with all his limbs if things go scud. We've got two kids to protect." Din says.

"Why don't you ask 'em for yourself?" He suggests.

"Who?" He asks.

"The Anzellans." Greef answers, gesturing to the building. Cordelia looks over and spots the tiny doors, a small Anzellan standing in the smaller of the two.

"What do you want?" He asks, looking at them.

Cordelia passes Pandora to Din before climbing through the door. He passes their daughter back before letting Grogu walk inside. He gets the parts inside before joining her, taking a seat beside her.

Din explains their quest and the Anzellans get to work looking over the parts as Grogu wanders around, looking at all the tools and projects laying around. Cordelia chuckles and leans into Dins side, looking down at Pandora in his lap, who babbles as she plays with her Wookiee doll.

"No. Can't fix. No. No, no. The broken." The Anzellan, introduced as Babu Frik, says.

"Uh...Okay." Din replies.

"The broken. It broke." He continues, also speaking Anzellan.

"We don't quite understand you. Do you speak any other languages? Huttese maybe?" Cordelia asks him.

"He said he can't fix it." Greef says. She looks over and spots him crouched at the door. He glares at her as she bites her lip, trying her hardest not to laugh.

"That's no good, we need this one. This one is our friend." Din tells Babu.

"It not friend anymore. Memory circuit broken." He replies and spits. Pandora blows a raspberry, trying to copy the sound she heard. Din chuckles at her, wiping the spit from around her mouth and shifting her to sit up higher so she can see the Anzellans in front of her.

"He says the memory circuit is shot." Greef adds.

"Well, put in a new one." Din says.

"Don't make new one. Very hard to find." Babu tells him.

"He said they don't make 'em anymore. They're very hard to find." Greef adds.

"I think we got it, Greef." Cordelia says, chuckling as she rolls her eyes.

"Buy new droid. This one poodoo." Babu tells them.

"He says you should get a new one." Greef adds. Cordelia sighs and shakes her head as Din turns to glare at him. Greef gets the hint and moves out of the doorway.

"Can you fix it without the memory circuit?" Din asks.

"Yes, but IG no think." Babu answers.

"What if we find the part?" He asks.

"Okay, now. Then no problem. We fix." He says.

"If you can get a new part, he says he can fix it." Greef adds, crouching in the doorway again.

"Greef, we love you but we also want to kill you right now so I suggest-" Cordelia begins. She's interrupted by shouting.

"No! No! No! No! No! No, down, down!" Babu shrieks as Grogu lifts him into the air, hugging him tightly. Pandora giggles loudly, shouting happily as she watches her brother.
