Things looked pretty hopeless. Anakin, Rex, Fives, Cody and Obi-Wan were in the Rancor pit in Jabba's palace. The negotiations had started well according to Anakin. According to Obi-Wan, Anakin used his lightsaber to speak too much. Now, they were in the Rancor pit and the huge beast looked like it hadn't been fed for a while. Their lightsabers were in another room entirely, and too far away to reach. Jabba and his crime lord friends sat above the pit, waiting for the entertainment to start. Obi-Wan had an idea, just before the Rancor decided which order it would maul them in.
"Anakin, remember on Geonosis when we were tried up for the beast's dinner?" Obi-Wan asked.
"Now may not be the best time, master!" Anakin replied.
"I tamed one of the beasts with the force!" Obi-Wan said.
Anakin stopped and smirked. The two Jedi started to move towards the Rancor slowly, hands outstretched with confused clones behind them. The beast looked like it was about to lunge, but something stopped it. Anakin's hand was on the creature along with Obi-Wan's, and it looked like it was calming down. Anakin took his hand off the Rancor and force jumped on top of it, leading it upwards towards the hatch of the pit. The Rancor took a swing at it and the tiles closing them in fell to the ground.
"Good work, Anakin." Obi-Wan replied.
Anakin jumped out of the Rancor pit, putting a force field around the exit as Obi-Wan force-lifted the clones out of the pit. The pair pulled their lightsabers to them and the five of them escaped.
"Don't mess with the republic!" Anakin yelled back.
The clones, still slightly confused, voiced their question.
"Sirs," Jesse started. "How did you tame that beast?"
"The force." Anakin replied. After the force healing question, he figured Jesse knew what he meant.
"The force can do a whole lot more then I previously thought, Sir." Rex said.
Anakin smirked. "It takes around 20 years to learn enough to become a knight. And this is just the light side."
