In space above the Galactic Republic's capital Coruscant a REPUBLIC ATTACK CRUISER and two jedi starfighters head toward a separatist battle cruiser both starfighters maneuver at the same time dodging flack and enemy laser fire. R2-D2 is on Anakin's ship. R4-P17 is on Obi-Wan's ship. A giant space battle is revealed as the tiny Jedi ships continue their assault in a synchronous ballet. Obi-Wan's starfighter bounces through the flack Obi-Wan has a frown on his face. His ship rocks violently. Inside Anakin's starfighter Anakin smiles as she blasts a Separatist droid drop fighter.Anakin said to her husband "There isn't a droid made that can out fly you, Master, and no other way to get to the Chancellor . . ." Obi-Wan said to his wife "Look out, four droids inbound . . ."

The 2 Jedi starfighters swerve in unison as 4 separatist droid drop fighters attack. After several clever moves by the Jedi, two of the separatist droid drop fighters collide with each other in a ball of flame. Obi-Wan struggles to maintain control of his ship. Obi-Wan told his wife "We've got to split them up." Anakin told her husband "Break left, fly through the guns on that tower." Obi-Wan flies to the left of a huge tower on a republic cruiser. the two droid drop fighters -Wan said and asked "Easy for you to say . . . why am I always the bait?" Anakin said to her husband "Don't worry. I'm coming around behind you." Obi-Wan deftly maneuvers around a large Starship's superstructure, but the two droid fighters stay on his tail, blasting him with intense laser fire. Obi-Wan complained to his wife "Anakin, they're all over me!" Anakin said "Dead ahead! Closing . . . lock onto him, Artoo . . ." R2 beeps his reply as Anakin swoops in for the kill. Anakin blasts one of the droid drop fighters. The droid explodes. Anakin said "We got him, Artoo!" Anakin blasts away at the second droid drop fighter as R2 beeps an angry replied to her droid "I copy, Artoo." Obi-Wan said "I'm going down on the deck." Anakin told her husband "Good idea ... I need some room to maneuver." Obi-Wan dives toward the surface of one of the larger separatist battleships and is forced to fly through a maelstrom of laser flack. She skims the surface, followed by the droid drop fighter, which is followed by anakin. She said to her husband "Cut right. Do you hear me?! Cut right. Don't let him get a handle on you. Come on, Artoo, lock on! Lock on!" R2 beeps. The crosshairs merge on the droid drop -Wan yelled at his wife "Hurry up! I don't like this!" Obi-Wan flies through a narrow gap between two towers on a Battleship. The droid drop fighter hits one of Obi-Wan's wings with a laser blast, and parts of the ship go flying around Obi-Wan's Astro Droid, R4-P17. "Ouch!" R4 beeps a blue streak. Obi-Wan said "Don't even try to fix it, Arfour. I've shut it down." Anakin said "We're locked on ... we've got him . . ." Anakin drops in behind the Droid Drop Fighter and blows him apart. R2 squeals with delight. Anakin said "Yeah! We got him . . . good going, Artoo." Obi-Wan told his wife "Next time you're the bait . . . Now let's find the Command Ship and get on with it …" R4 beeps a blue streak. Anakin said "Lock onto them, Artoo. Master, General Grievous's ship is directly ahead." R2 beeps a reply, and it reads out in Anakin's cockpit. "The one crawling with vulture droids."

Obi-Wan said "I see it. Oh, this is going to be easy". Ahead of them is a separatist Cruiser with batlike droid vulture fighters stalking around on the hull. The vulture fighters transform into flight configuration, lift off the cruiser, and attack the Jedi Starfighters. Anakin said to her husband "Come on, Master."Obi-Wan told his wife "Not this time. There's too much at stake." Obi-Wan then asked one of the Clone Trooper pilots "We need help. Odd Ball, do you copy?"

Odd Ball said "Copy, Red Leader." Obi-Wan told him "Mark my position and form your squad up behind me . . ." Odd Ball said "We're on your tail, General Kenobi. Set S-foils in attack position." The protective ray shield lowers on the main hangar of the separatist cruiser, and six new droid tri-fighters emerge and join the droid vulture fighters heading toward the Jedi. The Jedi starfighters extend the stability foils on the ends of their wings.

Anakin said "This is where the fun begins." Ten Vulture Droids straight ahead, coming down the left side. R2 beeps a worried message. Obi-Wan said "Add five Tri-fighters on the right ." Anakin told her husband "I'm going head to head. See you." Obi-Wan told his wife "Take it easy, Anakin." Four Clone Fighters move into formation behind the Jedi. Odd Ball said "I'm on your right, Red Leader." Anakin shouted "Incoming!" R2 squeals as five droid tri-fighters pass by at high speed on the -Wan said "Five more on the right!" Four more vulture droid fighters pass at high speed from the left. All hell breaks loose. Obi-Wan and Anakin continue to fly in unison, backing up each other. R2 said "Here we go."

The Jedi ships split up and make a quick loop around the droid tri-fighters, ending up behind them. They blast the droid tri-fighters and the separatist droids explode. Obi-Wan told his wife "I'm going high and right." Anakin said to her husband "Hang on. There are four more of them." Obi-Wan told her "Stay with me . . . swing back and right . . . help me engage. Back off ... Let them pass between us." Anakin told her husband "I'm coming around. I'm coming around on your tail." Obi-Wan told his wife "All right, engage . . . and hurry. These droids are all over me like a rash." In one incredible move, Anakin swings in behind the droid tri-fighters, blowing them away one by one until there is only one left. R2 chirps. R2 lets out a howl as Anakin accelerates past the last droid tri-fighter, slams on her brakes, flips the Fighter around, and destroys the Fighter from the front. R2 beeps frantically as they fly through the debris of the destroyed ships. Anakin looks behind her. Anakin asked her droid "How many back there. Artoo?" Artoo beeps Anakin said "Three . . . Four . . . that's not good." Obi-Wan told his wife "Anakin, you have four on your tail. Anakin told her husband "I know. I know!" Obi-Wan told her "Four more closing from your left." Anakin told him "I know. I know!" Obi-Wan said "Break right and go high." Anakin told her husband "I'm going low and left." Obi-Wan shakes his head. Obi-Wan said to himself "She still has much to learn." Anakin swoops low and skims across a separatist battleship, dodging flack as R2 bounces along, trying to get out a sentence. Anakin said "Hang on, Artoo. Obi-Wan, do you copy? I'm going to pull them through the needle . . ." Obi-Wan told his wife "Too dangerous. First Jedi rule: 'Survive.'" Anakin told her husband "Sorry, no choice. Come down here and thin them out a little." Obi-Wan drops in behind the droid vulture Fighters chasing Anakin. R4 beeps to Obi-Wan. Obi-Wan said "Just keep me steady . . . hold on ... not yet. . . now break left."

Obi-Wan fires as he swings across the back of the vulture droids, blasts four of them away. Anakin heads for a trench along the surface of one of the separatist battleships. He flies into the trench, which ends in a conning tower with a small slit between two main struts. Obi-Wan told his wife "You'll never get through there, Anakin. It's too tight." R2 Beeps nervously. Anakin told her droid "Easy, Artoo . . . we've done this before."Obi-Wan told his wife "Use the Force, think yourself through, the ship will follow." R2 squeals in a panic. On the view screen R2's squeal reads out, "WE'RE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT." Anakin told R2 "Wrong thought, Artoo." Anakin slips through the narrow gap. The trailing vulture droid fighters crash. Anakin said "I'm through." Obi-Wan continues to fire on the vulture droid fighters, driving them into the explosion. A Clone fighter is hit and explodes, spewing debris. The Clone pilot spins off into space. Finally, Obi-Wan peels off and swings around, pulling up alongside Anakin. Clone fight squad seven battles the droids.

Odd Ball said "There are too many of them." Another Clone pilot said "I'm on your wing. Break left. Break left. They're all over me. Get them off my . . ." Anakin stated "I'm going to go help them out!" Obi-Wan told his wife "No, no! They are doing their job so we can do ours. Head for the Command Ship!" The Command ship is The Invisible Hand. Another Clone fighter is hit, bursts into flames, and spins off into space. A vulture droid fighter raises its head to locate its target and fires missiles at them. Anakin said "Missiles! Pull up!" Anakin and Obi-Wan break right and left, and the missiles follow them. Anakin does a barrel roll spin, causing the missiles following her to collide and explode but missed her. Two missiles continue to chase Obi-Wan. He banks sharply to the right, then to the left, causing one of the missiles to overshoot. Obi-Wan said "They overshot us . . ."The second missile streaks next to Obi-Wan's Fighter and EXPLODES. Obi-Wan's ship rocks, and R4,screams as the Starfighter rips through the explosion. Debris flies all around them. Anakin told her husbands "They're coming around!" Obi-Wan said "All right, Arfour. No, no. Nothing too fancy." Anakin said "Surge all power units. Artoo! Stand by the reverse thrusters." Anakin spins her starfighter. The missiles spin and collide. Anakin said "We got 'em. Artoo!" Obi-Wan said "Flying is for droids." Suddenly, Obi-Wan shudders, and his ship starts to plummet toward the surface of the separatist Cruiser. The trailing missiles fly into what looks like debris, and detonate. Five silver balls fly out of the debris and attach themselves to the ship. The balls pop open, revealing small buzz droids that begin to crawl across the surface like spiders. Obi-Wan told his wife "I'm hit! Anakin?" Anakin told her husband "I see them . . . Buzz Droids."

The buzz droids crawl across Obi-Wan's ship and start to tear it apart. sparks erupt where the buzz droids break into the wiring. One of the buzz droids goes after R4-P17. Obi-Wan "Arfour, be careful. You have one . . ." R4-P17's head gets ripped off and flies away. Obi-Wan said "Oh dear. They're shutting down all the controls." Anakin said "Move to the right so I can get a clear shot at them." Obi-Wan said "The mission. Get to the Command Ship. Get the Chancellor! I'm running out of tricks here." Anakin moves into position just off Obi-Wan's left side and angles his ship so his guns are pointing at the droids crawling over Obi-Wan's Starfighter. Anakin fires and vaporizes the two buzz droids, along with the left wing of Obi-Wan's ship. Obi-Wan said "In the name of …" Anakin said "Steady . . . steady . . ." Obi-Wan said "Anakin, hold your fire . . . hold your fire. You're not helping here." Anakin said "I agree, bad idea. Swing right . . . ease over . . . steady . . ." Obi-Wan said "Wait . . . wait . . . I can't see a thing! My cockpit's fogging. They're all over me, Anakin." Anakin told her husband "Move to the right." Obi-Wan told his wife "Hold on, Anakin. You're going to get us both killed! Get out of here. There's nothing more you can do." Anakin said "I'm not leaving without you, Master."

Anakin moves his ship next to Obi-Wan's and tries to physically knock the buzz droids off. There are five left. He manages to get one off, but badly dents Obi-Wan's ship in the process. One of the buzz droids tears a piece off of the front of Obi-Wan's ship. Flames burst out, and more smoke billows out, obscuring the Jedi's view. Anakin knocks off three of the buzz droids and the fourth crawls out onto Anakin's ship and starts attacking R2-D2. R2-D2 fights the buzz droid. Obi-Wan said "Blast it ... I can't see . . . my controls are gone." Anakin said her droid "Get 'em, Artoo. Watch out!" Obi-Wan told his wife's droid "Artoo, hit the buzz droid's center eye." r2 extends an arm and aims a stream of electricity at the swerving buzz droid. The buzz droid is hit squarely in the eye and falls off the ship. Anakin said "Yeah, you got him!" Obi-Wan said "Great, Artoo." Anakin told her husband "Stay on my wing . . . the General's Command Ship is dead ahead. Easy . . . pull up ... Head for the hangar." Obi-Wan said "Have you noticed the shields are still up?" Anakin said realizing that the shields were still up "Oh?! Sorry, Master." Anakin streaks ahead of Obi-Wan's disintegrating Jedi Fighter and blasts the shield generator. It sparks and explodes. Obi-Wan said "Oh, I have a bad feeling about this."

In the main hangar of The Invisible Hand (yes that was the ship's name) The shield door drops away, and Obi-Wan crashes on the deck of the hangar bay, engulfed in a fantail of sparks. A set of blast doors starts slamming shut across the hangar opening, as material is sucked into space. Anakin maneuvers around the oncoming junk and flies into the hangar just as the blast doors slam shut. Obi-Wan ignites his lightsaber and cuts his way out of the cockpit. He jumps dear just as his ship lands. battle droids rush at him from all directions. Anakin jumps out of her ship and cuts her way through the battle droids to where her husband (Obi-Wan) is fighting. R2 pops out of the ship and follows Anakin. Obi-Wan told his wife's droid "Artoo, locate the Chancellor."

Anakin said "Tap into the ship's computers." They cut down the last of the droids and follow R2 over to a computer wall socket. The two Jedi fight off Four more droids as R2 tries to find the Chancellor. Finally, a hologram of the separatist ship -Wan said "The Chancellor's signal is coming from right there. The observation platform at the top of that spire." Anakin told her husband "I sense Count Dooku . . ." Obi-Wan told his wife "I sense a trap." Anakin asked "Next move?"Obi-Wan said "Spring the trap." The two Jedi start to leave; R2 follows. The Jedi stop and turn to R2. Anakin told her droid "Artoo, go back. I need you to stay with the ship." Obi-Wan told his wife's droid "Here, take this, and wait for orders." Obi-Wan tosses the comlink to R2.
