Spoilers ahead

Meeper, Bradford Simonsen, the janitor of an alien pub called the Ale-E-Inn, quietly dreams of something bigger—a chance to shine as a karaoke performer and bring a little joy to the unusual crowd he serves.

After a mishap where he accidentally electrocutes a singer, Meeper is ejected from the pub, feeling the sting of failure and the pull of his aspirations. Outside, an incautious Gungan warns him with a chilling pronouncement:

The ChubbChubbs are coming!

Meeper looks toward the horizon and sees aircraft landing, followed by a parade of large, weapon-bearing monsters stepping from the craft. He jumps to the conclusion that these are the ChubbChubbs, even as confusion and fear ripple through the night air.
