The Clone Wars:Animated Series
This article is about the TV series. For the fictional conflict, see Clone Wars (Star Wars). For the video game, see Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Star Wars: Clone Wars is an American animated television series set in the Star Wars galaxy. The series chronicles the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic under Chancellor Palpatine, and the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS) under Count Dooku.
Chronologically, the series takes place during the three-year time period between the films Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, i.e. 22 BBY and 19 BBY. The original television series was produced by Cartoon Network Studios, aired 25 chapters from 2003 to 2005. A 3D CGI version set in the same time period is expected to be produced by Lucasfilm Animation and debut in 2007.
Original series
The original series consists of 20 three-minute installments for Seasons 1 and 2 (later known as Volume 1), and five 12-to-15 minute installments for Season 3 (later called Volume 2). The 25 episodes are mostly comprised of energetic set-piece battles. Since much emphasis is placed on action, the story and plot is less developed than in the films. Despite this, it can be argued that the third season focused more on Anakin Skywalker's story.
The series follows the Jedi on their exploits fighting Dooku's separatist confederation. Many characters from the films are also featured prominently in the series, such as Anakin, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Mace Windu, Chancellor Palpatine, Count Dooku, General Grievous, C-3PO, R2-D2 and Padmé Amidala. Other episodes feature minor players from the films, such as Kit Fisto, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Shaak Ti and Aayla Secura.
Seasons
Season One (Episodes 1-10)
The first season spent more time on various events of the war, occurring closer to the time of Attack of the Clones, while still focusing on Obi-Wan and Anakin's struggles.
Season Two (Episodes 11-20)
The second season continued the first's style of showing multiple battles, but focused more on an overall story arc.
Season Three (Episodes 21-25)
Season three delved deeply into, and focused mostly on, Anakin's story and the relationship between him and Obi-Wan Kenobi, while also showing their struggles during the war. It builds up many of the events leading to Revenge of the Sith, taking place closer to the timeframe of the film, and is an immediate lead-in to Episode III, the opening scene of which takes place only moments after the end of Episode 25. Note that this season tells essentially the same story as the novel Labyrinth of Evil. Although the series and the novel focus on the same story, and are considered equally canonical by Lucasfilm, there are slight differences between the two.

Release
(November 7, 2003 - March 25, 2005)
The pilot series, produced primarily with traditional animation, originally ran on Cartoon Network. In addition to being shown on television, the episodes were released online simultaneously at the Star Wars and Cartoon Network websites. The series was heavily advertised by Cartoon Network, and was originally shown immediately before their popular Friday night lineup.
Production
The series was produced by Genndy Tartakovsky and employs a similar animation style to Tartakovsky's Samurai Jack and Dexter's Laboratory.
Awards and acclaim
The series won an Emmy award for "Outstanding Animated Program" in 2004. In 2005, it again won an Emmy award in the same category. The series received strongly positive critical reviews, some reviewers believing the show to be better than the first two prequels of the film series.
Continuity errors
The third season of the series shares its storyline with the novel Labyrinth of Evil. However, there are several inconsistencies between the series and the novel:
- In the series, a trio of Jedi Masters made up by the Togruta Shaak Ti, the Ithorian Roron Corobb and the Talz Foul Moudama attempt to rescue Palpatine. However, in the novel, several different Jedi, led by Shaak Ti and Stass Allie, attempt to rescue the Supreme Chancellor.
- In the series, Mace Windu fights alongside Yoda against droids. However, in the novel, Windu fights on a train against Grievous.
- In the series, Anakin and Obi-Wan investigate a possible base for Grievous on frigid Nelvaan, and Anakin goes on a spiritual journey. However, in the novel, Anakin and Obi-Wan search for Darth Sidious. [This was explained by stating that their mission to Nelvaan actually happened before the novel, even before they attack Cato Nemoidia, which is their first mission in the novel. This is very similar to how the episodes with Dooku meeting and training Asajj Ventress happen quite a while before Anakin and Kenobi's assault on Muunilist.]
Trivia
- Series producer Genndy Tartakovsky revealed in his Hyperspace commentary tracks on http://starwars.com and on the Volume I DVD that he purposely animated C-3PO with eyes that sort of move around to pay homage to the animators of and the animation style of Nelvana, the production company behind the animated segment from The Star Wars Holiday Special and the 1980s Star Wars cartoon series.
- If you go to the options menu and key in 11, 3, 8 on your remote control, credits will play of everyone who worked on the DVD.
- Chapter 20 introduced General Grievous, and Chapter 25 explains why he wheezes when he talks. The Grievous in Clone Wars is depicted as larger, far more aggressive and acrobatic than his movie counterpart. While the Grievous of the film is described as a coward and repeatedly flees until cornered, the Grievous of Star Wars : Clone Wars appears anything but, repeatedly taking on numerous Jedi singlehandedly.
- The show has the unique position of being the only show released on the Internet to win an Emmy Award, due to the fact that it was released on TV and the Internet at the same time. On the Internet, it was released the same day episodes aired on http://starwars.com's Hyperspace section, which is for subscribers only, and was released the next day to Cartoon Network's website and http://starwars.com for non-Hyperspace members.
- It is hinted in Chapter 22 that the encounter of Anakin with Padmé, following the battles of that episode, was the time when Luke and Leia were conceived, and the DVD commentary by Paul Rudish also implies this.
- Homages to other science fiction shows include an original Battlestar Galactica Cylon Centurion hidden in a crowd on Coruscant. Also noticeable in this same scene is a "Woolie" from Tartakovky's series Samurai Jack.
- Durge's look was designed by the Skywalker Ranch art department, the same artists that developed the concepts that appear in the feature films.
- In Chapter 22 Obi-Wan and Anakin lead an assault on a rebel city. Anakin leads Obi-Wan through a secret passage to the city that goes through a sewer and Obi-Wan quips, "What an incredible smell you've discovered," which is identical to a line said by Han Solo to Chewbacca in A New Hope during the scene in the garbage masher. This is only one of many references that are made to the original trilogy. Another is in episode 21, where C-3PO shows off his gold plating. An astonished Anakin remarks, "Impressive...most impressive...," a line he would later use as Vader in Empire Strikes Back. Another is in episode 11, while in pursuit of Asajj Ventress, Anakin upon locking her in target alludes to the Darth Vader "I have you now!" line.
DVD release
Volume I
- Chapters 1-20 of the series were released March 22, 2005, as "Star Wars Clone Wars: Volume I". The episodes were edited together into one continuous feature. The set featured English subtitles, and commentary tracks on all the episodes, as well as art galleries, behind the scenes information, and the featurette "Bridging the Saga: From Clone Wars to Revenge of the Sith," with interviews with George Lucas, Genny Tartakovsky, and the Clone Wars production crew. The disc also featured a glimpse of Star Wars: Clone Wars - Volume Two, an Episode III game trailer, and a playable level of the Xbox game Star Wars: Republic Commando.
Volume II
- Chapters 21-25 of the micro-series were released on December 6, 2005. The release was an edited together compilation of the five chapters, similar to the Volume I release. The set featured English subtitles, and commentary tracks on all the episodes. Features included a Revenge of the Sith movie trailer, art galleries, trailers for the Star Wars games Battlefront II and Empire at War, an Xbox demo with two levels from Battlefront II, and the LEGO short film Revenge of the Brick. Also included was the featurette "Connecting the Dots", which highlighted the creative process that Genndy Tartakovsky and his team used to link Clone Wars to Revenge of the Sith.
- The second volume of Clone Wars series was released significantly later than the DVD release of Revenge of the Sith. According to Van Ling, the producer of both DVDs, the Volume II disc was released at such a late date due to an extremely tight schedule in producing the DVDs. According to http://starwars.com, both DVDs were produced at exactly the same time, but the Clone Wars DVD couldn't be finished in time for the DVD release of Revenge of the Sith. Ling apologized to fans for this.
3-D CGI series
A continuation of the series has been planned. Lucas said the series might return, but as a 3D animation series. At April 2005's Celebration III, Lucas stated that, "you know we are working on a 3-D continuation of the pilot series that was on the Cartoon Network, we probably won't start that project for another year." Genndy Tartakovsky will not be involved with the production.
At Comic-Con 2005, several announcements were made on the work on the series. As of July 15, 2005, preproduction had begun on the series, according to Steve Sansweet, head of Lucasfilm fan relations. Sansweet referred to the series as "the next generation of the Star Wars saga, a cutting edge 30-minute, 3-D computer-animation series based on the Clone Wars that take place between Episode II ... and Episode III." This will mean after Anakin Skywalker has achieved the rank of Jedi Knight. Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda, Count Dooku, Palpatine and General Grievous are expected to appear. Sansweet described the look of the new series as "a melding of Asian anime with unique 3-D animation styling."
According to another statement by Sansweet, "Over the next several years, Lucasfilm Animation will be hiring a total of about 300 digital artists and others in both California and Singapore locations to produce not only the series, but animated feature films in the years ahead." He said about the series, "to get the series underway, Lucasfilm Animation has hired key production and creative talent to lead the development of its first animation project." Sansweet has said that "a large component of the future of Star Wars and Lucasfilm is digital animation." Gail Currey, the Vice President and General Manager of Lucasfilm Animation, has stated that she felt the early treatments for the series were amazing, and that she couldn't wait to share it with Star Wars fans.
At a press conference for Revenge of the Sith, Frank Oz confirmed that he is involved with the series. Many of the actors from the original series are expected to return.
The series is expected to premiere in 2008.

List of minor Clone Wars battles
The following is a list of the various minor battles that occurred during the Clone Wars, primarily in the fictional Star Wars: Clone Wars cartoon miniseries, short stories, and the various Clone War comic books. All of these battles took place during the Clone Wars conflict. Battles occurring during video games or novels will be higlighted in their respective articles.
Audition on Rattatak
The Audition on Rattatak, also known as the Mission to Rattatak, is a battle depicted in episodes six and seven of the miniseries. It was an opportunity for Count Dooku to seek a new ally with the power to defeat the Jedi. On the planet Rattatak, he encounterd a mysterious fighter who dominated every opponent in the combat ring. She introduced herself to him as Asajj Ventress, a Sith warrior. After denouncing her claims to be a Sith, Dooku challenged Asajj in combat and defeated her. He was so impressed with her skills that he presented her to Darth Sidious, who gave her an important assignment—assassinate Anakin Skywalker.
Battle of Axion
The Battle of Axion occurred in Timothy Zahn's short story, Duel. Anxion was a planet of endless sulfur fields which gave off a great steam, shrouding the planet in darkness. The CIS used this cheap form of power to create capital ships for the Separatist fleet. Yoda was sent to the planet with a large clone force, and the Galactic Senate thought the battle would be over soon. But what the Senate didn't now was that the steam surrounding the planet was purposely contaminated to disrupt the sensors of the clones' sensors. Using the shroud of steam, assassin droids were able to pick off the clone troopers one by one. After the true battle, Yoda and Commander Brolis were only 2 of the few on the Galactic Republic side left. Then, a Hailfire droid attacked Yoda and Brolis. Yoda was able to single handedly destroy the droid, and saved Brolis.
Battle of Dantooine
The Battle of Dantooine was depicted in episodes one, twelve, and thirteen of the miniseries. Attempting to strike back at the Republic incursion on Muunilinst, the Confederacy of Independent Systems used Dantooine as a staging point to launch an attack against the assault ship blockade around the Banking Clan headquarters. However, Jedi Master Mace Windu learned of the Confederate presence on Dantooine, and left with a force of clone troopers to halt the progress of the Separatists.
War erupted on Dantooine as clones and droids clashed in a vast, open field. The clone troopers used blasters and missile launchers to counter the massive numbers of battle droids they faced, whereas the droids used missiles to shoot down many gunships and overwhelming firepower to cause many losses in the clone ranks. However with Mace at their side, the clones started to gain the upper hand. However, the battle was suddenly turned upside down with the arrival of the deadly seismic tank.
The tank used its large seismic driver - once used in peace-time for mining operations - to blast a huge swath through the clone trooper ranks, either crushing them outright or sending soldiers flying from the shockwave. In the confusion, Windu lost his lightsaber, and was forced to fight a number of droids unarmed. Retrieving his lightsaber amid another seismic shockwave,Mace leapt towards the enemy tank. Breaching the hull, Mace entered the core, and disabled the seismic driver. Battling his way to the bridge, Mace destroyed the tank's droid crew, and knocked out the controls. Leaping clear, Mace watched on as the seismic tank smashed into the ground and exploded. The battle was won.
Battle of Duro
The Battle of Duro was one of the many battles in Operation Durge's Lance of the Clone Wars. At 0221 local time, Operation Durge's Lance had broken through the outer system defenses of Duro, destroying four Golan Arms battle platforms, and three Acclamator-class ships- Anvil, Coronet, and Bolide. Also destroyed were two Dreadnaught-class heavy cruisers- Prominence, and Atrisian Iron.
One of Duro's largest space cities, Jyvus City, had surrendered to the Confederate Navy. Divisions of battle droids transformed the floating city into a field command station for the Office of the General. At the same time Duro Chief Representive Officer Hoolidan Keggle had gone missing. Intelligence speculated that Keggle fled the city down to the planet below. Though in the system there was still four more Acclamators, a Victory-class Star Destroyer, and another Dreadnaught.
The First and Third Fleets of the Confederate Navy, the original task force launched from Yag'Dhul, had been provisioned by supply lines from Sullust and Thyferra. Techno Union ships had launched Seismic EMP countermines to clear the way for an easy attack.
To counter the Confederate fleet, the Republic sent a squadron of Jedi starfighters and two wings of V-19 Torrent starfighters. But Vulture droids and Tri-fighters easily broke through the Republic counter-attack. The Confederate forces were then positioned to cut off all Republic reinforcements from Kuat or Nubia.
After capturing Jyvus City, the Confederacy was able to drop the planetary shields protecting Duro. Separatist drop-fighters began orbital bombardment of planetside industrial factories.
The bombardment let the troops land and during a week of hard fighting, city after city began to fall to the Confederacy until Hoolidan Keggle signed General Grievous' capitulation to the Separatists.
Aftermath of the Battle
Following the battle, the Senate Bureau of Intelligence investigated causes of the defeat. A month later, in a report issues by Agent Inglemenn Barezz, it was revealed that the three Venator-class star destroyers that were to have been assigned to protect Duro had been reassigned to "shakedown cruises" by the Senate Action Subcommittee for Corellian Trade Spine Defense. It was also revealed that, in reality, the Committee's chairman, Rodian Senator Onaconda Farr, had reassigned the ships to Iseno after being bribed with contracts for rebuilding on Ando by the Isenese senator, Ronet Coorr.
After the release of the report, both Coor and Farr resigned from the Senate. A public backlash against both the Senate and Rodians in general was provoked, with calls for giving the Supreme Chancellor full power to conduct the war and for giving humans command of fleets stationed around rival planets. A full investigation of Senate Action Subcommittees was launched with the goal of restructring, and possibly even eliminating, them.
Is is possible that this political restructuring also could have been one of the events that lead to the Sector Governance Decree.
Operation Durge's Lance
Battle of Hypori
The Battle of Hypori was depicted in episodes twenty and twenty-one of the miniseries, as well as the Clone Wars Adventures. Essensially, the battle was a defeat for the Republic in which several Jedi were stranded on the eponymous planet where they encounter the mysterious General Grievous, who first revealed himself. The only surviving Jedi were Ki-Adi-Mundi, Shaak Ti, Aayla Secura, and K'Kruhk (supposedly died but survived due to his ability to heal wounds). This battle was principally depicted in the Clone Wars micro-series.
The battle opened as the Republic fleet approached the foundry world, and they were caught unawares by the minefield lain around the planet by Grievous' forces. The trap was sprung. The entire Republic fleet was destroyed in space, or as soon as they landed. Only the Jedi survived. They were trapped inside the ruins of an Acclamator cruiser that had been felled. They were surrounded by Super Battle Droids.
Daakman Barrek managed to make contact with General Obi-Wan Kenobi, who was fresh from victory on Muunilist. Barrek was killed during the transmission by General Grievous, which prompted Kenobi to send a crack team of ARC troopers to Hypori to rescue the stranded Jedi knights. The troopers managed to infiltrate the perimeter, and kill General OOM-9, and succeeded in fending Grievous off in enough time to save Ki-Adi-Mundi, Secura and Ti. They also managed to destroy some of the super battle droids surrounding the wrecked ship, but seeing as how there were still many more thousands of droids on the planet these casualties were tiny for the Separatists.
The Cerean Tarr Seirr and the human Jedi Daakman Barrek and Sha'a Gi were all killed. It was believed that the Whiphid Jedi K'Kruhk was killed as well, however this contradicted with other Expanded Universe sources in which he appeared that occurred later on. This continuity error was fixed by the explanation that Whiphid physiology allows them to go into a coma-like state, during which they are able to heal major wounds.
Battle of Iktotch
The Battle of Iktotch occurred in episode one of the Star Wars: Clone Wars series. Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Saesee Tiin—himself an Iktotchi—managed to defeat the droid forces of the Separatists, although they had to find a way to destroy an oversized super battle droid that the Separatists had created. The two Jedi used a combination of speed and strength, coupled with the power of the Force, plus a piece of a Hailfire Droid, to crush the giga-droid and to defeat the droids to free Iktotch.
Battle of Ilum
The Attack on Ilum, also known as the Battle of Ilum, was highlighted in episodes one, fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen of the miniseries.
Swarms of droid starfighters and V-19 Torrent Starfighters engaged one another in the skies of Ilum. During the aftermath of the battle, Count Dooku dispatched CIS chameleon droids to destroy the lightsaber crystal temple on Ilum. At the time of the attack, Jedi Master Luminara Unduli and her newly knighted, former apprentice Barriss Offee, were in the temple. Master Unduli was guiding Barriss through the construction of her lightsaber and refining her attunement to the Force. The two Jedi defended the temple valiantly, letting the Force guide them in eliminating their invisible enemies. The Temple eventually succumbs to heavy damage and collapses upon them. There they are trapped until Master Yoda, directed by the Force, comes to their rescue with Senator Amidala. Some of the temple survived.
Battle of Bomis Korri IV
The Battle of Koorivar was a skirmish briefly seen in the mini-series. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker were tasked with attacking a Koorivar fortress, and with a combination of bombardment from their star destroyers and ARC fighters they were able to take the base.
Bio-Droid Threat
The Bio-Droid Threat took place when the Separatists ordered thousands of deadly bio-droids, machines with organic components that were resistant to blaster fire. Masters Obi-Wan Kenobi and Kit Fisto were sent to Ord Cestus, a planet where the bio-droids were being made, and tried to convince Cestus Cybernetics not to deal with the Separatists.
While Master Fisto was encamped, the ARC troopers (namely Jangotat) asked the Jedi to attempt to teach them force techniques. This heightened the ARC's mental status, giving Jangotat more empathy.
When the negotiations began to fail, the only alternative was orbital bombardment, which could kill millions. Eventually Kit and Obi-wan found and confronted Ventress, who revealed that the Separatists had no desire to buy the bio-droids and were only meaning to trick the Republic to kill thousands with the orbital bombardment of the bio-droid factories, thus meaning that more worlds would join the Separatists. She also revealed that she had changed the coordinates of the bombardment to an earthquake fault line, which would cause a massive earthquake and effectively destroy the capital.
Obi-Wan defeated Ventress in a duel, and then an ARC trooper named Jangotat sacrificed himself to relocate the orbital bombardment to a place were casualties would not be so high. However, Ventress escaped.
Mission to Devaron
The Mission to Devaron is a battle seen in the comic Jedi: Aayla Secura. It was undertaken by five Jedi: Kit Fisto, Aayla Secura, Tholme, T'ra Saa and the Dark Woman. Ships were being brought out of lightspeed close to Devaron, and then pirates would attack the cruisers, destroying them and killing the clones. This caused major concern to the Jedi Council, as the forces further out, such as Jabiim and Drongar, were running low on supplies.
The Jedi team was dispatched, and after the assassination of T'ra Saa's olf friend Elsah'Sai'Moro, the Jedi investigated Devaron, staying at the home of Senator Vien'Sai'Mallock. Vien however, was in league with bounty hunter and Jedi hater Aurra Sing, who, once learning of the Dark Woman's presence on Devaron, along with that of Aayla and Tholme, vowed to kill her former master. While Tholme and Dark Woman explored caves looking for the pirates, Aurra laid a trap, and after writing her name from the temple, 'Nashtah' on the wall, trapped Dark Woman and Tholme in the caves. Vien, who was growing worried about the facts of her double dealing with the Republic and Confederacy, gave Aayla the pirate base location. After sending the information to T'ra Saa and Kit Fisto, she went to save Tholme and the Dark Woman.
Kit and T'ra dealt with the pirates, and while Kit finished dealing with the pirate base, T'ra also went to look for Tholme, with clones in tow. Aayla was confronted by Aurra, and the two duelled, Aayla remembering several of the lessons the renegade Quinlan Vos had taught her. Tholme and the Dark Woman realised they were being used as pawns by Aurra, who was exploiting Aayla's connection to them. They went into a death-like trance to help Aayla defeat Aurra.
Aayla used the force to look into Aurra's heart. The new insight allowed Aayla to slice off Aurra's antennae, cut her cheek and defeat the bounty hunter. T'ra found Tholme and Dark Woman and transported them back to the cruiser in orbit. Kit and T'ra then talked with the Devaronian president, who had discovered Vien's treachery, and ordered the senator to be fed to the native quarra. Tholme and Dark Woman recovered on the ship as it left Devaron. Aurra Sing was taken to the prison on Oovo IV, where she made a deal with the warden Fenn Booda. Aayla took one of Aurra's captured lightsabers, a souvenir from the murder of the Jedi J'mikel, to his former apprentice Xiaan Amersu. After that, all the Jedi returned to the front. Aurra escaped prison a few months later.
Battle of Muunilinst
The Battle of Muunilinst is a fictional battle appearing in the Star Wars universe, taking place four months after the Battle of Geonosis. It was first shown in the first episode of the cartoon microseries Star Wars: Clone Wars.
The battle was arranged when Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Yoda and Chancellor Palpatine were in a meeting. Anakin and Obi-Wan were enlisted by Palpatine to lead an assault on Muunilinst, home of the Intergalactic Banking Clan. The Intergalactic Banking Clan was a heavy monetary and battle droid contributor to the Separatists.
The Republic fleet, led by Commander Anakin Skywalker and General Obi-Wan Kenobi, encountered resistance as it entered the orbit of the planet Muunilinst. The Separatist fleet was large and well-prepared for the Republic assault, and droid fighters scrambled to intercept the fleet led by Anakin Skywalker. However, in little time, the clone warriors, and especially Skywalker proved their martial superiority over the droid forces as Acclamator cruisers dealt devastating broadsides to Confederate battleships, and V-19 fighters found their marks. This provided sufficient cover to land the army.
The Republic's attack gunships took small losses from Hailfire droid rockets on their approach to the Banking clan city and managed to land on the planet, where they encountered a Droid Army of the Separatists. ARC troopers were deployed on a special mission within the city, but their ship was shot down behind enemy lines. The ARC troopers, who had been cut off from their original drop zone, made their way to an enemy command center. Along the way, they faced off against the Droid Army in a tricky urban battle zone, taking at least one casualty to droid sniper fire. Eventually they got to their objective: the Separatist control tower in the city centre. They destroyed the cannon at the foot of the building and then took position at the top of the tower.
The IBC leader, San Hill, panicked as the Republic Army advanced. The firepower of the Grand Army was greater and it outranged the Separatist forces. But Count Dooku had sent his bounty hunter, Durge, to Muunilinst as reinforcement. This vicious bounty hunter led an army of IG lancer droids toward the heart of the Republic's forces. The Republic Army faced a challenge greater than ever imagined against this tenacious villain and his forces.
Suddenly, Durge's army was turning the tide in favor of the Droid Army on Muunilinst. Durge's contingent inflicted heavy losses, especially to the AT-TE and SPAH-T Walkers. Fortuantely for the Grand Army, General Kenobi's leadership rallied the Republic lines and checked Durge's advanced with Lancer Swoop Bike cavalry of his own. Both contingents destroyed each other until only Kenobi and Durge were left. Kenobi himself was challenged to single-combat by Durge himslf. From this, after a gruelling match, Kenobi emerged the victor.
Kenobi and the ARC troopers raided the Intergalactic Banking Clan's Command Center, nearly killing General OOM-9 and taking San Hill into custody. Despite all odds, Durge returned, now fully unveiled in his bulbous Gen'Dai flesh, wounding and killing a large number of clone troopers. However, Kenobi and the ARC troopers managed to overwhelm the bounty hunter and, for a second time he was defeated. The Droid Control system was shut down, and the majority of the Separatist Army completely immobiilized.
Anakin Skywalker was leading the clone army in a fierce space battle above Muunilinst when a mysterious ship arrived, taking out an entire squadron of Republic fighters, and engaged him.
