Star Wars: The Clone Wars Page #2

In my book, experience

outranks everything.

Well, if experience outranks everything,

I guess I better start getting some.

What's that?

Not good. They've got an energy shield.

That's gonna make things

damn near impossible.

If you wanted experience, little one...

...it looks like you're about to get plenty.

What is it?

The clones are pulling back...

...and the lead tanks are now

approaching the city center.

Get to those heavy cannons

as quickly as you can!

The shield generator is

somewhere in this area.

They're slowly increasing the diameter,

and keeping it just ahead of their troops.

Heavy cannons

are gonna be useless against that.

As they get closer, I suppose we could

try to draw them into the buildings.

That might level the playing field a bit.

If that shield's gonna be such a problem,

why don't we just take it out?

- Easier said than done.

- Well, I, for one, agree with her.

Someone has to get to that

shield generator and destroy it.

That's the key.

Right, then. Maybe you two

can tiptoe through the enemy lines.

...and solve

this particular problem together.

- Can do, Master Kenobi.

- I'll decide what we do.

If Rex and I can engage them here...

...you two might have a chance to get

through their lines undetected, here.

They won't have much time.

The droids far outnumber us...

...so our ability to street fight is limited

without the use of heavy cannons.

They will march forward under

the protection of their shield.

...until they are right on top of our cannons,

then they'll blow them away.

We'll figure out a way.

Come on, Master, let's go.

If we survive this, Snips,

you and I are gonna have a talk.

They make quite a pair, don't they, sir?

You think they have a chance?

They better.

If they can't turn off that shield generator

before it reaches the heavy cannons...

...there'll be no escape for any of us.

What's the status?

It looks like those bounty hunters

went up there.

Contact General Windu.

Tell him we found the Hutt.

Yes, Commander?

We've discovered that Jabba the Hutt.

...has also hired bounty hunters

to track down his son...

...and we followed them to

a monastery on planet Teth.

We feel it's where

Jabba's son is being held...

...but it's too heavily fortified for us

to do anything alone, sir.

Commander, stay out of sight

and await further orders.

Will do, General.

Unusual, it is, a problem Obi-Wan

has, subduing the droid army.

I'll take care of it.

Get me Admiral Wurtz.

I need three of his star cruisers.

Yes, General.

Greater than we think,

this mystery may be.

Go with the fleet

to aid Master Kenobi, I will.

So, what's the plan?

I thought

you were the one with the plan.

No, I'm the one with enthusiasm.

You're the one with the experience, which

I'm looking forward to learning from.

Well, first, we need to get behind

that shield, then get past their tank lines.

Why don't we just go around?

Outflank them?

- That'd take too long.

- Sneak through the middle, then?

Impossible.

Unless you can turn yourself into a droid.

All right. You win.

My first lesson will be to wait

while you come up with the answer.

Well, the wait's over. I've got a plan.

That shield is certainly putting

a crimp in my day.

It's no use, sir! Even at full power

the cannon doesn't affect it.

All right, Rex. It was worth a try.

Tell the men to fall back!

This is a stupid plan!

We should fight these guys,

instead of just sneaking around.

Except for the fact that their deflective

energy shield just passed over us.

If you can't cross their lines,

let their lines cross you.

If you say so.

We're inside the shield.

Just stay away from those tanks.

A Jedi?

- Where's the General?

- I don't know, sir!

Fall back!

I think we made it past all of them,

Master. We may pull this off yet.

We still have a ways to go before

we get to the generator station.

Do we still need this thing?

I can't take it anymore.

I have to stand up.

You have got to be careful!

You never know

what you're gonna run into.

See what I mean?

- We can't beat its shield.

- Run!

- What? Jedi don't run!

- I said, run!

- Ahsoka, stop!

- Make up your mind!

I said, stop!

Good. You take direction well.

They're right behind us, sir!

They wiped out most of my unit.

We had to pull out of there.

The shield has almost reached

the heavy cannons.

We're not gonna be able to stop them, sir.

Move your troops back

to the heavy cannons.

Do everything you can to protect them.

I'll delay the droids.

- But...

- That is an order, Captain!

There it is. Come on.

You must be

the infamous General Kenobi.

I surrender.

Now, Master Kenobi,

order your troops to stand down.

General, have a seat.

Have you gone mad?

I've conceded the battle.

Now we simply have to

negotiate the terms of surrender.

Don't try any of your tricks, Jedi.

Surely there's no reason

we can't be civilized about this.

'Tis a rare honor to be able to meet

one's opponent face-to-face.

You're a legend

throughout the Inner Core.

Thank you. The honor is all mine.

I'm so glad you decided to surrender.

Well, at some point, one must accept

the reality of the situation.

Might we have some refreshments?

You! Bring us something liquid.

Thank you. This shouldn't take long.

We are approaching Christophsis, sir.

The Separatist blockade

is holding position.

Deploy the fleet.

Have the cruisers protect the transports.

Yes, sir.

Admiral, hurry, we must,

if we are to aid General Kenobi.

It will not be easy to breach the blockade,

Master Yoda.

It's what stopped our relief ships before.

Last time, not as many ships did you have.

Get past it, we must.

Get past it, we will.

Stay close. We've gotta be careful.

- Come on!

- Wait!

Why? We're almost there. It's right...

I said, wait!

Forget about the droids!

Set those charges!

Sorry!

Whose side are you on, anyway?

Setting the charges.

Sir! General Kenobi's been captured!

There's no one else left.

We've got to hold out! We can't

let that shield reach the cannons.

Keep fighting!

I could use a little help!

Skyguy, don't move!

What? No, no, no!

- You could have gotten me killed!

- I know what I'm doing.

- I had everything under control.

- I just saved your life.

There's too many of them!

Fall back, fall back!

Man down!

Medic! We need a medic here!

And, of course, once you've

taken custody of my troops...

...arrangements will need to be made

for their food and shelter.

- Tell me, do you have enough supplies...

- Enough of this! You are stalling!

Nonsense. General, there are

numerous details to be discussed.

Seize him!

Unless you call off your troops right now,

I will have no choice but to destroy you.

Truthfully, I was hoping your shield

would be knocked out by now.

- Did you get the charges set?

- Yes.

Then what are you waiting for?

Uh-oh.

Oh, well.

Don't fire!

Something appears

to have happened to your shield, General.

All cannons, fire on those tanks!
