Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Invasion!

Separatist leader, Wat Tambor, has taken control of the planet Ryloth

and subjugates its people through a brutal droid occupation.

In a daring surprise attack,

Jedi Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano,

defeated the space blockade guarding the planet.

Now, Jedi Generals Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi

lead a massive invasion to liberate the starving people.

The first trick will be getting our troops on the ground.

If you take the city of Nabat first, we'll have our landing zone.

Well, it's time to meet the natives.

You must not allow the clones to reach the surface.

Our new proton cannon are in the optimum position

to prevent that, sir.

What?

What if they focus the attack on your cannon?

I am utilizing the prisoners from this village as living shields.

I calculate the Jedi will not risk the prisoners' safety with a direct assault.

We need to remember why we're here.

We came to aid the Twi'leks, not destroy their home. Cody.

That means we'll be taking it back the hard way.

Minimal destruction with blasters and droid poppers only.

No rockets or detonators. Check your aim. Keep an eye out for the locals.

-Am I understood? Sir, yes, sir.

If we're here to free the tail-heads, the least they can do is get out of our way.

-Sir, the enemy is in range. -Fire at will.

General, the enemy fire is penetrating our shields!

Get me Kenobi.

We can't risk landing the larger transports until you take out those guns.

Pull back. We'll take care of it.

Who's up for a challenge?

We're not getting any reinforcements until those guns are out of commission.

Here we go again.

Commander, the Republic transports have turned away,

but the gunships are still heading toward us.

Just as I calculated.

Prepare for their ground assault.

-I think I see movement in the trees. -Fire! Fire!

Come on, men. Let's go! Go, go, go!

That bunker's gonna be a problem, General!

Leave the bunker to me! Bring in your troopers on my signal!

-You two wanted action. Follow me. -You heard him, Waxer.

Let's take them out. Now!

-We've got to get closer to the wall. -Try again. I'll give you some help.

Ghost Company, let's move.

Sir, I've lost contact with our outer defenses.

The Republic troops have overrun the village perimeter.

-Find out how the Jedi plan to attack. -Roger, roger.

The wall is secure, sir. Are we moving on to the guns?

We need to know what the droids have in store for us.

-Send your best men to scout ahead. -Will do, sir.

-Boil, Waxer, come with me. I guess we're the best.

Buildings are just buildings.

What really makes a city are the inhabitants that live in it.

So, where are they?

We'll check out the courtyard.

You two take the south sector. Be back at command by 0620.

Yes, sir.

I tell you, Boil, this is creepy.

-Do you think they killed all of them? -Well, there are no bodies.

They were driven from their homes. I don't think they had a...

Had a what?

(SIGHS) Choice.

Not gonna be easy getting to those guns, sir.

There is always a way, Wooley.

Wait. Twi'leks!

They're holding all the survivors hostage. We have to report this to General Kenobi.

We found the guns. They're in the courtyard here and here.

But there's a complication.

They've taken the locals hostage and they're using them as shields.

The Twi'lek prisoners will make this difficult but not impossible.

I still have a good plan for taking out those guns.

Getting the villagers out of harm's way is our first priority.

I have faith in you, General Kenobi.

Cody, we'll go in with everything we have. Clear those hostages.

So, it's General Kenobi who is leading this assault.

-He is known for his deceptive maneuvers. -Roger, roger. Download his file.

-Ah! It's just a little girl. -Well, what are we gonna do with her?

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why do we have to do anything?

-We've got a mission to finish. We should do something.

I say we take her with us.

You can't be serious. She'll only slow us down.

-Look, she's afraid of us. -Not us. Quick, hide!

That was a recon unit. We better get moving.

We can't leave her here. - (SIGHS) Fine. We'll take her.

Be careful.

Don't worry, Waxer, I don't think she's armed.

-The little tail-head bit me! -Stop, stop. You're scaring her.

She probably thinks we're droids.

It's all right. See? I'm flesh and blood, just like you.

-She looks half starved. -Here.

Nerra, nerra.

No, I'm Waxer. He's Boil.

Nerra, nerra.

Oh, you made a friend. Mission accomplished.

Can we go now?

Come on, kid. Come on.

Look, she doesn't even want to go.

The little monster was fine before we came along, so let's move.

-Sergeant, are the creatures ready? -I starved them like you ordered, sir.

-Are you sure they will not attack us? -I need a test to verify my theory.

Sir, what are you doing? Oh, no.

Not my motivator!

As I calculated, the creatures require organic meat.

-Well, that's a relief. -It will not be for the clones.

They will provide a most generous supply.

I wonder what happened to her family.

They're probably dead. Hopefully, she'll survive this mess.

So, what happens to her? I mean, after we leave.

I don't know. Don't get any ideas. We're not taking her with us.

-She's gone. -I'm sure the little biter will turn up.

Hey! There you are.

How'd she get in front of us?

Nerraa! Nerraa!

No, don't go that way! That's where the recon droid went!

-Waxer, let it go! -I'm not just gonna let the droids get her!

I'm just trying to keep you alive.

Darned if I know why.

Where's she going?

Wait! Hold on there!

-Hey, there you are! - (SIGHS) Good, you caught her.

You know, I have binders if we need them.

What?

What are we doing here anyway?

I guess this was her home. Poor little thing, she lost it all.
