A tiny alien with a rocket-sized secret drops into Nobita's backyard, and Doraemon's gadget box turns a summer vacation into an interplanetary rescue mission.

What is Doraemon: Nobita's Little Star Wars about?

Nobita finds a small rocket during summer break, and inside it is Papi, a palm-sized alien who turns out to be the president of the small planet Pirika, fleeing a rebellion back home. Doraemon and his friends are baffled by how tiny Papi is until his handy gadget, the Small Light, shrinks the whole group down to his scale, and friendship follows quickly once they're all the same size. Peace does not last: a whale-shaped space battleship arrives on Earth to hunt Papi down and drag him back by force. Feeling responsible for dragging his new friends into danger, Papi tries to face the invaders alone, but Doraemon, Nobita, and their friends refuse to let him go it alone, launching a journey to Pirika itself to protect both Papi and the home he's fighting to save. It's classic Doraemon terrain: an ordinary afternoon interrupted by the extraordinary, with loyalty carrying more weight than any single gadget.
