Chapter 4: Rescuing Jabba's Son
Nadia's ship emerged out of hyperspace, she got her first look at Tatooine.
It was a large planet and it was made completely out of sand. Also, its atmosphere was very hard. In the distance, the planet's twin suns shone brightly.
A curious thought then came to Nadia's mind which made her look at Obi-Wan.
"Master, why does Master Skywalker dislike Tatooine?"Nadia asked.
"This is something you will not under any circumstances talk to him about, got it?"Obi-Wan commanded with a hardened voice.
Nadia nodded. "Yes, Master."
"He and his mother were slaves before my Master Qui-Gon and I found him."Obi-Wan exclaimed. "But his mother did not survive when Anakin found her a few days before the Clone Wars started."
"Oh. I'm very sorry to hear that."Nadia replied sadly and thought. "Who would thought a Jedi like Anakin would have such a sad past. Then again...I don't look like one, who has got that either."
Obi-Wan put his hand on Nadia's shoulder to comfort her.
A few minutes later, Obi-Wan and Nadia landed next to Jabba's palace.
It was a large, brown building made of cylinders.
Jawas ran around the outside and Obi-Wan had to shoo them away from their ships.
Obi-Wan and Nadia put their Jedi cloaks over them and arriving through the castle entrance to Jabba's castle were Jabba's men, along with his translator protocol droid, TC-70.
"We should not keep the wise and powerful Jabba waiting."TC-70 said.
"I wouldn't dream of it."Nadia retorted.
"We'd be here earlier, but we had our hands full at the moment."Obi-Wan said.
"Follow me."TC-70 instructed.
The bronze colored droid lead the Jedi Master and his Padawan into the castle.
Since the inside of Jabba's palace was dark and dirty, there were mysterious shadows everywhere and Nadia felt strangers staring at her making her glare at them in disgust.
TC-70 led Obi-Wan and Nadia to Jabba.
He was in a large room full of bounty hunters and smugglers.
There were a few Twi'leks dancing and music playing.
Jabba sat at one end of the room.
TC-70 introduced them and the negotiations began.
Obi-Wan and Nadia explained to the Hutt of why they took so long.
They even informed Jabba that they already initiated a rescue mission to get his son back.
Nadia looked around the room, which resembled a dirty underworld Coruscant nightclub.
Drunk outlaws stumbled around.
Smoke filled the air.
A few girls were flirting with a group of guys.
Nadia looked in one of the corners of the room.
"Mighty Jabba, a few of our most powerful Jedi are on their way to rescue your son."Obi-Wan said. "We will not let you down."
"And as we were discussing earlier, in exchange to get your son to you back safely."Nadia assured. "We would like access to the yours and the Hutts' territories through the Outer Rim."
"AHHH."Jabba responded. "WOWOGA SLEEMO MAKA PEEDUNKEE MUFKIN."
"The most gracious Jabba has one more small condition."TC-70 translated. "He demands you bring back the slime who kidnapped his little…punky muffin."
"NEECHOOTU TAWNTEE SABEESKA!"Jabba growled.
"Dead or alive."TC-70 informed.
"OH. WOTOKI KA ROTTA, DOOKU DROI SEPARAHTEE WAN."Jabba added while waving his stubby hands.
The protocol droid fixed its eyes on Obi-Wan and Nadia.
"If you do not succeed, Count Dooku's droid army will."TC-70 warned.
Nadia looked at Obi-Wan.
"So it appears Jabba has involved Dooku in this as well."Nadia whispered.
"They probably wants access to the Hutts territories to the Outer Rim."Obi-Wan suggested. "If they succeed, this war will be more difficult to end."
"Master Skywalker and Ahsoka must do everything they can to prevent Dooku from reaching Jabba's son."Nadia commented.
Once Obi-Wan and Nadia were done discussing the situation with each other, they bowed to Jabba and retreated from the throne room.
It was all up to Anakin and Ahsoka now.
A figure shrouded in shadow stood there with a gun in his hand.
That wasn't unusual, except for the fact that he was pointing it at Obi-Wan.
"Master!"Nadia shouted. "Duck!"
Then gunshots filled the air.
The black haired girl shoved Obi-Wan out of the way and the round plate slammed into her shoulder and threw her to the ground and crawled behind the cover of a fallen table.
Obi-Wan was right behind his padawan.
"Nadia, are you okay?"Obi-Wan asked alarmingly. "Let me looked at that."
"No, it's fine."Nadia assured and winced a little. "I can work through the pain."
A bullet splintered the wood of a nearby chair.
"The droid has our lightsabers."Nadia stated.
"Follow me."Obi-Wan ordered.
Obi-Wan jumped up and over the table.
Nadia followed and saw that her Master had jumped the shooter and taken his gun.
The shooter had head-to-foot armour on, so Nadia couldn't see his face.
Before Obi-Wan could unmask him, the shooter fled the scene.
Obi-Wan and Nadia couldn't catch him and he fled the planet in his ship.
"Darn!"Nadia growled in annoyance. "He got away!"
"We'll deal with him later."Obi-Wan responded. "But right now we must finish the negotiations."
So they went back inside to talk to Jabba.
Jabba's room was full of wood splinters and panicked people.
Master Kenobi told Jabba that the shooter had fled, and the negotiations resumed.
Nadia had a feeling that the kind of thing was not uncommon.
After a a few more minutes, the negotiations were done.
Jabba had agreed that if he got his son back in one planetary rotation, the Republic could use the space highways that he controlled.
So Obi-Wan and Nadia thanked him and went back to their ships.
A moment after, Obi-Wan and Nadia contacted Anakin and Ahsoka in their holograms.
Anakin and Ahsoka were in Teth with Rex and the clone troopers.
Also Jabba's little son was in Ahsoka's backpack.
"Anakin, did you locate Jabba's son?"Obi-Wan asked.
"We have him but it looks like the Separatists are behind his abduction."Anakin retorted. "This smells like Count Dooku and Darth Sidious to me."
"I think it's little Stinky you smell, Anakin."Ahsoka stated while holding the huttlet.
"I'll bet Dooku and his Master are using us to get Jabba to join the Separatists."Obi-Wan declared.
"That doesn't sound good."Nadia commented.
"Master Kenobi, we have another problem."Ahsoka informed. "This Huttlet is very sick."
"I'm not sure we can get him back to Tatooine alive, Master."Anakin informed. "This whole rescue may backfire on us, I still don't think dealing with the Hutts is a good idea."
"Anakin, you know they control shipping routes in the Outer Rim."Obi-Wan reminded. "Jabba's cooperation is crucial to the war effort, if you let anything happen to his son, our chances of a treaty with him will disappear."
"Master? We've got trouble!"Ahsoka said nervously.
The two Jedi then saw Separatists Ships coming their way.
Rex glanced at the other Clone Troopers.
"Defensive positions!"Rex ordered.
"Anakin?"Obi-Wan asked.
"What's going on?"Nadia questioned with a hint of worry.
"I'll have to call you both back."Anakin admitted. "We're under attack, we could use a little help here if you both have the time."
"We'll get there as soon as we can."Nadia assured.
"Protect the Hutt, Anakin."Obi-Wan reminded.
Then the holograms went off.
Anakin took out his lightsaber to block the Separatists ship's blasts.
The Separatists battle droids started attacking the duo and the clone troopers.
"We've got spiders inbound!"Rex shouted.
"Get inside!"Anakin ordered.
Ahsoka and Artoo quickly went into the Teth's castle hideout.
The separatists droids were too powerful, which caused Anakin and the clones to retreat.
"Fall back!"Anakin demanded. "Fall back!"
Anakin and the remaining clones quickly went inside and making the door shut in front of Asajj Ventress and the battle droids.
"Mistress, the Jedi have barricaded themselves inside the main vault."A battle droid reported.
"They have nowhere to run."Asajj sneered.
Inside...
"Captain, we'll stay here until General Kenobi and Lieutenant Aomori arrive with reinforcements."Anakin instructed.
Anakin notice Ahsoka giving him a look.
"What?"Anakin asked.
"Master."Ahsoka spoke up. "Do you honestly think we can hold them off? We've got to find a way out of here."
"Our mandate is to protect the Hutt and that's what we're going to do, Ahsoka."Anakin complemented.
"Our mandate is to return the Hutt back to his father on Tatooine in one rotation and time's running out."Ahsoka corrected.
"I suppose you have a plan."Anakin suggested.
Artoo beeped at them.
"Yes, or I think so, Artoo willing."Ahsoka said.
"All right, Snips. I'll trust you on this one."Anakin stated and looked at Rex. "Captain, hold them here as long as you can."
"Will do, sir."Rex responded and looked at the clone troopers. "You heard the General! Get ready to turn those clankers into scrap metal!"
Anakin, Ahsoka and Artoo went into a room.
"If there's a way out of here, Artooie will find it."Ahsoka remarked.
"Make it quick."Anakin ordered.
Artoo beeped at Anakin, who brought his attention on Ahsoka.
"Ahsoka, how did you come to know Nadia anyway?"Anakin asked. "It seems like you two are very close."
"She's my best friend in the galaxy."Ahsoka responded with a smile. "I met Nadia a few weeks after Master Shaak Ti brought her from Corellia to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant."
Ahsoka's smiling expression went a bit sad.
"Plus she needed a friend cause from what I know, she has a very dark past."Ahsoka admitted. "But she wouldn't tell me about it though."
"Sometimes the past leaves painful scars that don't heal and most people don't have the courage to talk about."Anakin replied.
"How do you know about that, Master?"Ahsoka questioned.
The Jedi Knight didn't reply and notice Jabba's son was asleep.
"Finally asleep, huh? Put him down."Anakin instructed. "Get some rest yourself, it's been a long day for you, little one."
"I can hold him, Master."Ahsoka stated. "I'm not tired."
"Okay, suit yourself. I don't see why you won't just listen to me."Anakin said as he sat down.
"I do listen to you, Master."Ahsoka assured. "Me and Nadia just don't like being treated like younglings."
"You must have patience."Anakin reminded. "What are you trying to prove anyway?"
"That I'm not too young to be your Padawan."Ahsoka admitted sadly.
"Ahsoka, Obi-Wan's Jedi Master once said to me, 'Nothing happens by accident.'"Anakin exclaimed as he went next to her. "It's the will of the Force that you and Nadia are at Obi-Wan's and my side, I just want to keep you there in one piece."
Ahsoka smiled at Anakin and put the backpack down.
In Space...
A few ships were activated and came out of a Star Destroyer.
Obi-Wan and Nadia were in one of the ships.
"Skywalker and Ahsoka are in trouble."Obi-Wan said before looking at his padawan. "You know the drill, Nadia."
"Copy that, Master."Nadia replied.
In the Teth Monastery...
"The Jedi warships have arrived."Asajj said. "You must hold them off until I finish my mission. Do you understand?"
"Yes, ma'am."A battle droid corrected and glanced at the other battle droids. "Launch all fighters!"
Above the Sky…
Obi-Wan, Nadia and the Clone Trooper Pilots were fighting the Separatists Pilots.
"Skywalker to Obi-Wan."Anakin's voice informed. "Mark my position, I need a medical ship immediately, do you copy?"
Nadia and the Clone Troopers fired at the Separatists ships and destroy them.
"Anakin, do you read me?"Obi-Wan asked. "Anakin, come in!"
"Master!"Nadia warned as she fired at another Separatist Fighter Ship. "They're jamming our transmissions!"
"I hope Anakin's having an easier time than we are."Obi-Wan stated.
Back in Teth...
"I can't get ahold of Obi-Wan or Nadia."Anakin declared. "I'll see if I can find Captain Rex."
Anakin had the backpack that Jabba's son was on.
Ahsoka looked at him before looking at Artoo.
"Do you copy? Captain Rex, respond."Anakin instructed in his comlink.
"I read you, General."Rex replied. "We're pinned down in the courtyard."
"Do you need help?"Anakin asked and then heard gun shots. "I'll take that as a yes, Captain."
Rex and the other Clone Troopers continued fighting the battle droids.
"Stand by, we're on our way. Skywalker, out."Anakin said and ended the call.
Ahsoka notice the huttlet was beginning to look even more sick.
"Master, Stinky's really sick."Ahsoka warned. "He's turning every shade of green except the one he's supposed to be! Our mission is to get him return to his father on Tatooine alive in one rotation so we can get have access to his family's territory in the Outer Rim to have an advantage over Count Dooku and Darth Sidious."
"Obi-Wan and Nadia will get here eventually."Anakin declared. "Right now, we need Rex to help us find a ship."
Then two destroyer droids rolled in front of them.
"Great, rolling death balls."Ahsoka muttered.
Anakin and Ahsoka took out their lightsabers to deflect the destroyer droids blasts.
"Artoo, the door!"Anakin ordered.
Artoo beeped at him and quickly went to the door.
As the destroyer droids continued blasting at the duo, Ventress came.
But Artoo quickly shut the door in front of the assassin and the two battle droids.
Ventress activated her two red lightsabers to cut the door open.
"I think now's a good time for a retreat."Anakin suggested.
"Retreat?"Ahsoka asked while smiling. "That's a new word for you."
"Maybe into the jungle."Anakin remarked.
The two Jedi looked down and saw two Separatists droids coming up to them.
"Wait, I remember the jungle was a bad place."Ahsoka said.
"So much for going that way."Anakin stated.
Meanwhile…
Rex and the other clone troopers continued fighting the droids.
"We can't hold out much longer, sir!"A Clone Trooper said. "Where's General Skywalker?"
"He'll be here."Rex replied.
Asajj Ventress continue slashing an entrance with her lightsabers.
"Looks like we're out of options."Anakin retorted.
Jabba's son started moaning.
"No, not now, Stinky."Ahsoka soothed and then notice what the huttlet was pointing at. "Master! Another landing platform!"
"With a ship on it."Anakin said.
"Nice work, Stinky."Ahsoka remarked.
Asajj and the droids were getting close.
"So, how are we gonna get over there?"Ahsoka asked.
"Leave that to me."Anakin said with a smirk.
Anakin suddenly jumped off the edge and landed on one of the insects.
"I hope I don't have to learn that."Ahsoka said.
Then Asajj cut the entrance open and then pointed her lightsaber at Ahsoka.
"Where is Skywalker?"Asajj demanded.
"Right here, Ventress!"Anakin called out.
Then one of the giant insect's wings nailed Ventress.
"Time to go."Anakin declared. "Hop on, Snips."
"Like I have a choice!"Ahsoka said.
The young girl then jumped on one of the insects and the two flew off.
Meanwhile...
Obi-Wan, Nadia and the other fighters continued fighting the Separatist's fighters above the sky.
"I'm hit!"Odd Ball warned. "I can't shake them!"
"Just relax, Odd Ball."Obi-Wan informed.
"We're right behind you."Nadia assured.
"Thank you."Odd Ball thanked. "I'm sorry I panicked."
"That's alright, Odd Ball."Obi-Wan replied. "It happens to everybody."
Nadia then spotted a building that looked like a tower.
"It looks like there's some kind of battle on the east side of the palace."Nadia remarked.
"I see it, sir."Odd Ball stated.
"And if there's a battle, Master Skywalker and Ahsoka are probably in the middle of it, right, Master?"Nadia suggested.
"We'll start looking for him there, young one."Obi-Wan admitted and looked at the other fighters. "All ships, follow us!"
Anakin and Ahsoka approached the landing platform the Hutt had pointed out, jumping off the back of the giant bugs to the platform once it was close enough.
Artoo followed them there.
"We're taking this junker?"Ahsoka asked. "We'd be better off in that big bug!"
"Get aboard and prime the engines."Anakin ordered. "Assuming it has engines."
Then Ahsoka saw the droid that she and Anakin saw before was moving amongst the crates by the ship.
"Hey, your the caretaker droid, I wondered what happened to you."Ahsoka remarked with a smile.
"Oh, uh, young one! I mean, soon to be Jedi Knight!"the caretaker droid stated. "I had to get away from that terrible-"
"Okay!"Another droid's voice spoke up. "Everything's loaded! Let's get out of…here."
The second was a Separatist droid coming down the ship's ramp as Ahsoka pulled out her lightsaber.
"Why you, tin plated traitor!"Ahsoka growled.
"Blast her!"the caretaker droid ordered.
Ahsoka used her lightsabers to block the battle droid's blasts and destroying them.
"She's at it again."Anakin muttered. "Let's go."
Artoo beeped at Anakin and looked after Jabba's son.
Then Ahsoka destroyed the caretaker droid as she, Anakin and Artoo went on the ship.
On the sky...
"Commander Cody, prepare the gunships for ground assault."Obi-Wan ordered.
"Yes, sir."Commander Cody responded.
Then gunships came out of the Star Destroyer.
R4 beeped at Obi-Wan.
"Take over, R4."Obi-Wan instructed.
"You too, R6."Nadia stated.
R6-H5 gives a Nadia a beeping respond.
On the ground, Rex and few of the Clone Troopers were surrounded by the battle droids.
"Surrender, Republic dogs!"A battle droid demanded.
"We've got you outnumbered!"Rex warned.
"Outnumbered? Wait, One, two, three..."the battle droid said.
Then two ships blasted the battle droids as Obi-Wan and Nadia came out of them and landed on the floor safely.
Obi-Wan and Nadia activated their lightsabers and started fighting the battle droids.
Then Commander Cody and other Clone Troopers arrived on the ground with the gunships and started helping the two Jedi fight the droids.
"Hi, Rex."Nadia greeted with a wave.
"Where's Skywalker?"Obi-Wan asked.
"Best guess is he's still in the monastery, sir."Rex responded.
"Keep the droids occupied."Obi-Wan ordered. "Me and Nadia will go find him!"
As Obi-Wan and Nadia went to the entrance of the castle, they saw Ventress with her red lightsabers out and two battle droids with her.
"Master Kenobi, always chasing after Skywalker."Asajj commented and then notice Nadia. "And I see you started a daycare. How predictable."
Nadia glared at the Sith Assassin.
"Anakin leaves quite a mess."Obi-Wan stated. "Which always leads me to you, Ventress."
"Take them."Ventress ordered.
The battle droids started firing at the master and his padawan as Ventress ran off.
Anakin, Ahsoka and Artoo were on the old ship.
"Now let's get Stinky out of here."Anakin commented bluntly. "If we can."
When Anakin pressed the button, the ships engine didn't go on.
Ahsoka groaned in annoyance as she held the huttlet.
"Relax, Snips."Anakin instructed and glanced at Artoo. "Artoo, see if you can spark the ignition couplers."
Artoo beeped at Anakin before going to the couplers.
However, when Artooo tried to open the couplers, the ship didn't activate.
"No, that's not it."Anakin stated. "Try opening the fuel lifters all the way."
Artoo beeped at him and when he open the lifters, the ship powered on.
"Good work, buddy."Anakin stated.
Anakin pressed the button and the ship went off into the sky.
"Master Kenobi and Nadia are here."Ahsoka declared. "Now we'll see some real fireworks."
"Excuse me?"Anakin questioned. "What do you call what I've been doing all day?"
"I don't know."Ahsoka replied unsurely. "The word "reckless" comes to mind."
"Very funny, Snips."Anakin remarked. "Back to work, the troops still need our help, charge the main guns."
"How are we gonna help?"Ahsoka asked. "Stinky's getting sicker and sicker."
"But we promised Rex we'd help them."Anakin reminded.
"Master, we've got to get him to the medics on the Jedi Star Destroyer."Ahsoka suggested. "It's our only chance to get Stinky back to his father still breathing."
Anakin was silent for a moment before contacting Rex.
"Captain Rex, this is General Skywalker."Anakin said.
"Yes, General."Rex replied.
"We're not going to be able help you."Anakin declared.
"Don't worry about us, General."Rex assured. "We'll be all right, the mission always comes first, sir."
Back in Teth...
Obi-Wan looked for Asajj as he held his lightsaber.
"Ventress, Nadia and I know you're here."Obi-Wan said. "You can't hide, we feel your frustration. Let us guess, you're after Jabba's young son too."
Asajj jumped from the ceiling and started dueling Obi-Wan.
She then removed her skirt and threw it at Obi-Wan, but Nadia came just in time to slash it.
"You'll have to do better than that, my darling."Obi-Wan stated.
As the two Jedi and the Assassin continued fighting, Ventress used the Force throw Nadia on the floor.
Also, her lightsabers was able to to throw Obi-Wan's lightsaber a few inches away from Nadia.
"Well, now I'm impressed."Obi-Wan complemented.
Obi-Wan started dodging Ventress's blades until the assassin had him trapped.
"Now you die."Ventress said coldly.
Nadia woke up and used the Force to throw the lightsaber to Obi-Wan.
She then went next to her Master.
"Shall we continue?"Nadia mocked.
"With pleasure."Ventress growled.
The three continued duelling using their lightsabers.
Back in the old freighter...
"Master, today I did my best to stay calm, focused and when I did, everything seemed so easy."Ahsoka exclaimed.
Then a large bump came to the ship startling the three.
"Well, get focused, 'cause things just got a lot harder."Anakin stated.
Then three Separatists ship started firing at them.
"All we've got to do is land on that Jedi Star Destroyer."Anakin said.
"But, Master, their deflector shields are up!"Ahsoka warned.
Then the Star Destroyer started firing at them.
"They must think this grease bucket is an enemy ship!"Ahsoka shouted.
"Jedi Star Destroyer, hold your fire!"Anakin ordered.
"Who is that?"the commander asked. "Incoming ship, identify yourself."
"This is General Skywalker."Anakin reported. "We have Jabba the Hutt's son, he needs medical attention, we must board immediately."
"Stand by."the commander said.
"Stand by?"Ahsoka repeated. "That's helpful."
"Hang on!"Anakin shouted.
Anakin started causing the freighter to fly around the star destroyer.
"General Skywalker, we think we can lift the shields on the lower rear hangar." the commander said.
"We're on our way."Anakin informed.
"We've made it!"Ahsoka remarked happily. "We've made it!"
Then the Star Destroyer got destroyed by the Separatists Ships.
"That changes our plans."Anakin complemented. "Looks like we're gonna have to take this bucket of bolts all the way to Tatooine."
The freighter flew away from the battle.
Back on Teth...
Obi-Wan and Nadia continued dueling Ventress.
Then the two Jedi used the Force to jump on the ceiling as Ventress followed after them.
"We know of Dooku and his Master's plot to turn the Hutts against us."Obi-Wan said.
"That plan won't succeed."Nadia declared bravely.
"It will when the truth dies with both of you."Ventress growled as she continued duelling the two Jedi.
The Sith Assassin then placed her lightsabers together.
"The only one who's going to die is you at our hand, Ventress."Nadia retorted.
Then Obi-Wan and Nadia jumped out of the window.
"You two can't run."Ventress informed in a cold tone.
Back on the freighter...
"We're clear to make the jump to hyperspace."Anakin commented and looked at Artoo. "Artoo, program the navicomputer."
Artoo beeped and programmed the navi-computer.
"I don't think he's gonna make it, Master."Ahsoka said as she stroked the huttlet. "There's gotta be something we can do for him."
"Take a look in the back."Anakin insisted. "See if you can find some medical supplies."
"I'm on it."Ahsoka replied as she left the room.
"Don't die on me now, little guy."Anakin retorted. "Just hang in there, if you've locked the coordinates. Aroo, let's go."
Artoo beeped then the freighter escaped in hyperspace.
Back on Teth...
Obi-Wan and Nadia continued fighting Ventress in the bridge of the palace.
"We sense it, too."Obi-Wan commented. "Anakin and Ahsoka are gone."
Nadia smirked. "You failed, Ventress."
"Your Masters won't be pleased with you."Obi-Wan added.
Nadia then used her lightsaber to sent one of Ventress's lightsabers in the ground beneath.
"Jedi scum!"Asajj growled.
Asajj pressed the button of her bracelet.
The two Jedi and the Sith Assassin then continued dueling.
Then Obi-Wan and Nadia used the Force to sent her back.
"The Hutt is safe."Nadia reminded. "There's no point to fighting any longer."
"We've won."Obi-Wan declared. "Lay down your weapon."
Asajj saw her small ship approaching and landed on it as she glared at the two Jedi.
Obi-Wan and Nadia angrily watched as the Sith Assassin escaped as they deactivated their lightsabers.
"Rats!"Nadia growled. "She got away!"
Obi-Wan frowned. "We'll kill her next time."
Back in the freighter...
"Looks like this hasn't been used in a while."Ahsoka commented.
Ahsoka pressed a button and a hologram of a medical droid appeared.
"Hey, Dr Droid."Ahsoka greeted. "Can you hear me?"
"Yes, what seems to be the problem?"the medical droid asked.
"Great."Ahsoka said. "I've got a sick Huttlet, you got a remedy?"
The huttlet was lying on a tray and started coughing.
"Oh, yes I see."the medical droid replied. "You must dispense one of these medical boosters into the infant's mouth. If you have any problems, please call an actual doctor to assist you."
Then the droid disappeared while Ahsoka took the small tablet.
"I hope this works."Ahsoka murmured.
Ahsoka then picked up the huttlet.
"Okay, sweetums."Ahsoka cooed. "I've got some yum-yum for you, you'll take this and like it!"
The huttlet took the tablet and burped.
"There you go."Ahsoka muttered and covered her mouth. "Good boy."
Back on Teth…
Obi-Wan, Nadia, Rex and the Clone Troopers continued fighting the Separatists droids.
"These droids doesn't know when to give up!"Nadia scowled in a bitter tone.
Nadia slashed another droid coming towards her.
"Captain, we understand General Skywalker and Commander Tano escaped."Obi-Wan said.
"Yes, sir."Rex responded. "On some beat-up old space freighter, I'll be surprised if they even make it to Tatooine in that junker."
"If anybody can fly a bucket of bolts through hyperspace, he can."Obi-Wan declared.
"That's impressive."Nadia remarked.
Back on the freighter...
"The medicine, it's working!"Ahsoka admitted as she looked at the almost healthy huttlet. "His fever broke, I think he's gonna live to stink another day."
"Great."Anakin commented in an unhappy tone. "Keeping him alive wasn't as easy as you'd hoped, was it?"
"Master, if you taught me one thing, it's that nothing is easy when you're around."Ahsoka explained. "You think Rex, Master Obi-Wan and Nadia made it out okay?"
"If I know my old Master, he has things well in hand and the little Kitty can take down those droids with her bare hands alone."Anakin complemented.
Ahsoka chuckled at what Anakin just called Nadia.
"Now help me with this."Anakin instructed. "I want the primary systems fully repaired by the time we reach Tatooine."
"You grew up on Tatooine, right?"Ahsoka asked. "So, for you, this trip is like going home."
"Yeah."Anakin said coldly. "Home."
Back on Tatooine...
Ventress has contacted Count Dooku on a hologram.
"The Republic had too many Clone Troopers, my Lord."Asajj reported. "By the time we were able to find Jabba's son, Skywalker and his new Padawan had already killed him."
The people in the castle gasped in horror while Jabba growled in anger.
"Most unfortunate."Count Dooku responded grimly. "This is a very unexpected turn of events, I take it you at least defeated the Jedi?"
"No, Master."Asajj answered. "The Jedi escaped and are headed to Tatooine."
"I'm sure you did the best you could, Lord Sidious and I will discuss your failure and lesson for it later, Ventress."Count Dooku scowled.
"Yes, my Master."Asajj replied.
The Sith Assassin ended the call.
Jabba spoke up causing TC-70 to speak for him.
"Glorious Jabba demands to know why the Jedi would dare come to Tatooine."TC-70 complemented.
"To kill you, Jabba."Count Dooku informed.
The guests gasped in horror.
"The Jedi plot's quite clear now."Count Dooku responded. "They only promised to rescue your son to win your trust. Now Skywalker and his new apprentice are coming here to finish their true mission, to wipe out the entire Hutt Clan as revenge for when your family enslaved him and his mother when he was a child and to start his goal of ending slavery throughout the galaxy forever."
Jabba spoke in anger.
"If it pleases you, mighty Jabba this time I will deal with Skywalker and his new apprentice personally."Count Dooku suggested.
Then two magnaguards appeared behind Count Dooku.
Back in the freighter...
"I was hoping I'd never have to lay eyes on this dust ball again."Anakin muttered.
"Okay."Ahsoka responded. "What happened?"
"I don't want to talk about it."Anakin said simply and changed the subject. "How's Stinky holding up?"
Ahsoka notice the huttlet was asleep.
"He seems to be feeling much better."Ahsoka replied. "His fever is gone, even you have to admit he's cute when he's asleep."
"I admit I like him better when he's quiet, but only a little."Anakin retorted.
Artoo beeped at Anakin.
"No, Artoo."Anakin replied. "I want the cannon operational first, leave the rear deflector shields for later."
"No rear shields, Master?"Ahsoka asked. "That's awful risky."
"A strong attack eliminates the need for defense, Snips."Anakin said.
Then an alarm came on.
"Attack ships closing!"Ahsoka shouted.
Two Separatists fighters were now attacking the freighter.
"Somebody doesn't want Stinky to get home in one piece."Anakin commented.
Then the fighters blasted the ship causing it to be damage.
"Wow!"Ahsoka gasped. "Quite a welcome home party!"
Artoo beeped a respond.
"Set the approach vector and make ready to land."Anakin ordered. "Ahsoka, activate the guns!"
Ahsoka pressed a button, but nothing happened.
"All the guns are locked in the forward position."Ahsoka said. "It's too bad you decided not to repair the rear deflector shields."
"Not now, Ahsoka!"Anakin stated and glanced at Artoo. "Artoo, see if you can unlock those guns!"
Artoo beeped at Anakin.
"Sometimes a good defense is the best offense."Ahsoka remarked.
"Why don't you go secure your little Huttlet friend?"Anakin demanded.
"None of us are secure with you flying!"Ahsoka argued.
The Separatists ships continued firing at them.
"Hang on, back there!"Anakin warned.
Anakin pulled the ship up causing the huttlet to go on Ahsoka's arms and started crying.
"Great!"Ahsoka scowled. "You woke the baby!"
"I'm a little busy here!"Anakin snapped as fired at one of the Separatists fighters. "Got one of them!"
"What about the other one?"Ahsoka asked.
"One thing at a time!"Anakin demanded.
Then the second Separatist fighter destroyed the beneath piece of the ship.
"I think we needed those rear shields after all."Anakin murmured.
"I told you so!"Ahsoka scowled.
Ahsoka, the huttlet and Artoo were then pushed down.
"Artoo, turn those guns around!"Anakin ordered.
Artoo beeped as Ahsoka pushed him to the button that controlled the guns.
"Get him, Artoo!"Anakin ordered.
Artoo then used the guns to destroy the separatist fighter.
"Good shot, buddy!"Anakin praised. "You've been holding out on me."
Artoo beeped at him.
"Ahsoka, strap in."Anakin instructed.
"You've got that "we're in trouble" look."Ahsoka said as she sat down on her seat.
"There's a look?"Anakin asked.
"You can't miss it."Ahsoka chuckled with a smile.
"Very funny, Snips."Anakin replied sarcastically and then contacted Obi-Wan and Nadia. "Obi-Wan, Nadia, come in! Do you two copy?"
Then the holograms of Obi-Wan and Nadia appeared.
"Kenobi and Padawan Aomori, here, Anakin."Obi-Wan answered."Have you reached Tatooine yet?"
"Almost, but we ran into some old..."Anakin stated.
"Anakin, did you get shot down again?"Obi-Wan asked.
"Yes!"Ahsoka said with a smile.
"Well, this is surprising."Nadia sneered.
"This ship is too slow."Anakin declared. "I haven't had time to modify it yet."
"I'm still cleaning up your other mess, but we'll get there."Obi-Wan assured.
Then the holograms disappeared.
"So much for reinforcements."Anakin muttered.
The freighter started going down to Tatooine.
"Hang on, this landing could get a little rough."Anakin warned.
Alarms started beeping in the ship.
"Crashes are rough."Ahsoka said. "Landings are not."
"Then it's a crash landing."Anakin stated.
Then the fighter crushed to the sand of Tatooine.
Back in Tatooine..
"Mighty Jabba, my battle droids have shot down Skywalker's ship."Count Dooku said.
Jabba gave an angry respond.
"Jabba will send out his bounty hunters to see that he and his apprentice are dead."TC-70 informed.
"Allow me."Count Dooku suggested. "I have much more experience dealing with Jedi and my arch-nemesis."
On Coruscant...
Chancellor Palpatine and Yoda were watching the holograms of Obi-Wan and Nadia.
"Anakin and Ahsoka have reached Tatooine with the Huttlet, Master Yoda, but they're still in grave danger."Obi-Wan reported.
"Count Dooku's Separatist droids are desperate to intercept them."Nadia said bitterly.
"We think this whole plot was engineered by Dooku and his Master to convince Jabba we kidnapped his son."Obi-Wan suggested.
"If believe this, the Hutts do, ended will our chance of a treaty with them be."Yoda said. "Join Dooku and the Separatists, Jabba will, yes."
"That would be a disaster."Palpatine declared. "We must have this alliance with the Hutts if we're to regain access to the Outer Rim and win the Clone Wars."
"In Skywalker and Ahsoka is the Republic's only hope."Yoda commented. "Return Jabba's son, they must."
"Anakin's experience with the Hutts should help."Obi-Wan responded.
"He and Ahsoka will come through."Nadia complemented.
Then Senator Amidala came into the room.
"Please excuse me, Master Yoda."Palpatine interrupted. "I must return to the grand adventure of politics."
Yoda and Padme bowed at each other.
"It's wonderful to see you again, Senator Amidala."Yoda complemented.
"Master Yoda."Padme responded with a smile. "So good to see you."
"I'm glad you came."Palpatine said. "Padme, we were to discuss..."
"The new security measures you put into effect on Naboo."Padme finished. "Captain Tytho tells me there are several new battles in the Outer Rim."
"Including a small skirmish with Master Kenobi, Anakin and their new Padawans Nadia Aomori and Ahsoka Tano."Palpatine said.
Padme immediately became concerned at the mention of her husband.
"Anakin?"Padme asked in worry. "Is he in danger?"
"I'm afraid the Jedi's efforts to strike a secret treaty with the Hutts have gone terribly wrong."Palpatine declared. "Thanks to Count Dooku's trickery, Jabba believes Anakin and Ahsoka have abducted his infant son as a warning of how he's going to destroy the Hutt Clan for revenge of when they enslaved him and his mother when he was a child and to start his mission of ending slavery throughout the galaxy."
"A Jedi would never do such a thing!"Padme argued. "Perhaps I can get that treaty signed, I will go to the Hutts and convince them of Ahsoka and Anakin's innocence as a representative of the Senate, of course."
"That's very courageous of you, Senator Amidala, but far too dangerous."Palpatine reminded. "Besides, we've attempted to contact Jabba and he won't accept communication from us."
"Jabba the Hutt has an uncle in the old downtown area here on Coruscant."Padme exclaimed. "Perhaps I can reason with him and reopen negotiations."
"Please, my dear, I beg you to reconsider this."Palpatine suggested.
"Don't worry, Chancellor Palpatine, I've dealt with far worse than the Hutts."Padme remarked.
"Do take care, Senator Amidala."Palpatine declared as Padme left the room and narrowed his eyes. "The Hutts are vile gangsters."
On Tatooine...
The ramp of the freighter lifted down causing Anakin and Ahsoka to come out.
Ahsoka held the huttlet.
"Welcome home, Stinky."Ahsoka informed.
"Jabba's palace is on the far side of the Dune Sea."Anakin stated as Ahsoka put the huttlet on his backpack. "We'd better hurry if we're gonna make it by morning."
Anakin landed on the sand.
"I'm coming."Ahsoka commented.
Ahsoka jumped out of the ship while Artoo beeped at them.
"Oh, Artooie. It's just endless tracts of gritty, abrasive sand."Ahsoka suggested. "I'll clean your servos later, come on."
Then the three started walking to Jabba's palace.
As they walked away, the Jawas came to the freighter.
In a night club on Coruscant...
Padme came into Ziro's club in disguise.
The Senator of Naboo wore a white jumpsuit with an tan utility belt which had her silver political service armband. Her shawl was purple and hooded with a face cover that left only her eyes visible.
"Your Majesty, you have an important visitor."A droid informed.
Padme went up to Ziro.
"Greetings, Ziro."Padme responded. "I am Senator Padme Amidala of the Galactic Senate."
"A Senator?"Ziro asked as he smoked in his pipe. "In this neighbourhood?"
"I know that you are the uncle of Jabba the Hutt of Tatooine and I come to ask a favor of you."Padme stated.
"A favor?"Ziro asked. "Hmm?"
"There has been a grave misunderstanding between Jabba and the Jedi Order."Padme declared.
"How may I serve you, Senator?"Ziro questioned.
"I was hoping you and I could resolve this dispute and broker a treaty between the Republic and the great clan of the Hutts."Padme suggested.
"A treaty? A treaty?"Ziro asked in disbelief. "A treaty is impossible. My nephew Jabba's son has been kidnapped by your Republic Jedi scum."
"But, sir, there's been a misunderstanding."Padme protested.
"There is no misunderstanding."Ziro retorted. "It is the Jedi who have rescued his son."
"If you can put me in touch with Jabba."Padme spoke up. "I am confident, I can convince him of the truth."
"No! No more discussions!"Ziro growled and looked at her droid. "Escort her out!"
"Please, Ziro! Your nephew Jabba is in danger!"Padme warned. "You're being deceived!"
"I said throw her out."Ziro reported.
The droid dragged Padme away.
"Don't touch me."Padme scowled.
Back on Tatooine...
Anakin, Ahsoka and Artoo continued walking in the desert of Tatooine.
"Master Yoda has a saying 'Old sins cast long shadows.'"Ahsoka said. "Do you know what he means by that?"
"He means your past can ruin your future if you allow it."Anakin scowled. "But you forget it was Master Skywalker who said "I don't want to talk about my past."
"Okay, fine."Ahsoka responded, changing the subject. "There is so much more we can talk about out here like the sand."
"The desert is merciless."Anakin muttered coldly. "It takes everything from you."
"That's a happy thought."Ahsoka assumed. "It won't take us, Master. Right, Artooie?"
Artoo beeped in agreement.
Back on Coruscant...
Padme was sent to the elevator with a droid, but she quickly knocked him out in order to spy on Ziro, who was talking to Count Dooku.
"Your plot's coming apart, Count Dooku, a Senator from the Republic was here."Ziro declared. "What if she found out I helped you and Darth Sidious kidnap Jabba's son?"
"Don't worry, I have convinced Jabba that my arch-nemesis and his new apprentice have murdered his son."Count Dooku said. "...and are on their way to kill him for revenge."
"Jabba will slay your arch-nemesis and his new apprentice on sight!"Ziro sneered evilly.
"Then the mighty Jedi Order'll be forced to bring Jabba to justice for taking away their only weapon to kill me and my Master and potential Knights and you, my friend, will be left to take control of the entire Hutt Clan."Count Dooku admitted.
"Then the plot against my nephew Jabba has succeeded."Ziro remarked. "But what about this meddling Senator?"
"If she continues her investigation have her meet with an accident with extreme prejudice."Count Dooku said. "I'll have my representatives in the Senate cover it up."
Padme secretly tried to escape, but got caught by the droid.
"Count Dooku."Padme growled. "So, the poisonous traitor of the Jedi Order rears his ugly head once again."
"I'm equally delighted to remake your acquaintance, Senator Amidala."Count Dooku said.
"I was just leaving."Padme responded.
Padme tried to leave, but a droid stopped her.
"I'm sorry. That cannot be permitted now. Ziro, this particular Senator's extremely valuable to my Separatist ally Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray."Count Dooku stated. "He'll pay a handsome price for her body."
"Hmm, I like the sound of that."Ziro said while smirking. "Take her to the dungeon!"
"You'll regret this, Ziro!"Padme growled.
Padme was then dragged away.
"No, I think I'll become rich with this!"Ziro stated and laughed. "Thank you, Count Dooku, this has been a most profitable alliance."
"I will contact you when the Huttlet has been disposed of your high exalted master of the Hutts."Count Dooku exclaimed.
Count Dooku then ended the conversation.
Back on Tatooine...
Anakin and Ahsoka continued walking as the sunset began to come down.
"We're not alone."Ahsoka said.
"I sense it, too."Anakin replied while narrowing his eyes. "It's Count Dooku."
The huttlet went beneath Anakin's backpack.
"And if I know my arch-nemesis, he's coming for the Hutt."Anakin admitted. "Time to split up."
"We'll face him together, Master."Ahsoka suggested.
"Not this time, Snips."Anakin declared. "I have a far more important mission for you."
"More important than keeping you alive cause I thought Ferus told me that Count Dooku managed to defeat you and Master Kenobi at your first dance with him at the Battle of Geonosis?"Ahsoka asked worriedly.
"Ahsoka, I need you to trust me on this one because even though you proved you're old enough to be my Padawan, you aren't ready to face a Sith Lord with me."Anakin explained. "Besides, I've grown more stronger since my first dance with Count Dooku so if I can kill him, we'll have an easier time in ending the Clone Wars since a rebellion never does well if it loses it's leader and we'll be close to destroying the Sith again and bringing the Force back into balance."
Ahsoka nodded. "Okay."
Back on the Nightclub of Coruscant…
Padme was thrown into the dungeon as her comlink started beeping.
"What's that?"the battle droid asked.
"Don't touch that! Whatever you do, keep away from it."Padme protested. "Please, I beg you, don't turn that on."
"Could be dangerous, I better check it out."the battle droid commented.
The droid answered the comlink that revealed a hologram of Threepio.
"At last, you answered!"Threepio said. "You're not Mistress Padme!"
"I'm being held by Ziro the Hutt!"Padme shouted.
"You're in trouble!"Threepio panicked. "I knew it!"
Then the battle droid destroyed the comlink.
Back on Tatooine...
It was now night time.
Anakin walked in the desert with the huttlet on his back only to meet face to face with Dooku.
The Jedi Knight actiavted his blue lightsaber.
"Surrender the Huttlet or die, Master Skywalker."Count Dooku threatened.
The Sith Lord then used his blue Force lighting only for Anakin to block it with his lightsaber.
Count Dooku then activated his red lightsaber.
"Your Jedi training with Master Kenobi has come a long way, Skywalker."Count Dooku retorted.
The two continued dueling with their lightsabers.
"Ah, now I remember."Count Dooku mocked. "This is your homeplanet, isn't it? I sense your strong feelings of pain and loss of your mother."
Anakin used the Force to create a sand storm around the evil rebel leader but Count Dooku threw him down and slashed his backpack.
"You failed the Jedi again, Skywalker."Dooku sneered. "I have just killed Jabba's son."
"You've fallen for my little trick, Count."Anakin said and revealed what was inside his backpack. "It's nothing but rocks."
"The Huttlet's with my Padawan, safely at Jabba's palace."Anakin sneered.
"I expected such treachery from you, Master Skywalker."Count Dooku said. "I assure you my web's strong enough to catch your insignificant little Padawan."
"She's more skilful than you think."Anakin remarked.
"You deceive yourself!"Count Dooku growled.
Then the two started fighting again.
Ahsoka and Artoo were very close to Jabba's palace.
The Torguta felt a disturbance in the Force and activated her lightsaber.
Then three Separatists magnaguards appeared in front of them from the sand.
Anakin and Dooku continued fighting in the desert.
"Look, I have a message from your Padawan."Count Dooku remarked.
Count Dooku showed Anakin a hologram of Ahsoka fighting the magnaguards.
Anakin kicked Count Dooku in the face causing him to drop the comlink.
"After my droids kill Jabba's son, they'll deliver your Padawan to him for punishment for the Huttlet's murder."Count Dooku informed. "I can't imagine he'll be merciful."
Anakin went on the Count's speeder and went off.
Meanwhile...
Artoo got thrown by one of the separatist guard droids on the sand.
"Three against two?"Ahsoka shouted. "Stinky, you watch my back!"
Ahsoka slipped into the deep part of the sand causing the huttlet to cry.
"I thought you liked to play in the sand."Ahsoka muttered.
Back on Coruscant...
A Republic Ship landed next to the nightclub and a hooded young boy figure came out of it followed by Threepio.
"This part of town is definitely not my kind of town."Threepio said.
"Come on, Threepio."the boy instructed. "We need to go and get Padme!"
The boy then ran to the entrance.
Inside Ziro's Nightclub...
Ziro held Padme as a prisoner in his nightclub.
"You tried to call for help, Senator."Ziro said. "I believe you're too dangerous to be kept alive."
"Killing a Galactic Senator, here on Coruscant?"Padme asked in shock. "Are you out of your mind?"
"I have powerful friends in the Senate thanks to Count Dooku and his Master."Ziro remarked evilly. "I'm not afraid of, huh?"
Then someone blasted one of Ziro's droid.
"Is anybody home?"Threepio asked.
"Threepio?"Padme questioned in confusion.
Then the hooded figure and a bunch of clone troopers came into the room.
The Clone Troopers started firing on the droids.
The hooded figure activated his blue lightsaber to break Padme's cuffs and handed a blaster to her.
He then lifted off his hood, revealing himself to be Ferus.
"Thanks, Ferus."Padme thanked.
Padme used her blaster to blast the battle droids.
"No prob, big sister."Ferus stated as he slashed a few droids.
"Run for it!"Ziro shouted.
"Stop, Ziro!"Padme warned. "Stop right where you are!"
Padme, Ferus and the Clone Troopers surrounded the hutt.
"Mistress Padme, are you all right?"Threepio asked. "Was I too late?"
"No, Threepio."Padme said with a warm smile. "Your timing couldn't be perfect."
"Oh, thank the maker, I'm so relieved."Threepio remarked.
Ferus rolled his eyes and chuckled while Commander Fox glanced at Padme.
"Should we arrest the Hutt, Senator?"Commander Fox asked.
"I had no choice."Ziro said. "Dooku and his Master said they'd kill me if I didn't help him kidnap Jabba's son. You have to believe me! I love that Huttlet!"
"Oh, I believe you."Padme retorted.
"But we'll see what the Senate'll say about this."Ferus stated with a small smirk.
Back on Tatooine...
Ahsoka took down one of the droids and spotted Anakin on the speeder.
"Master!"Ahsoka shouted. "Over here! Master!"
But Anakin didn't hear her and drove off.
"He never listens."Ahsoka scowled in annoyance.
Ahsoka fought the two droids.
Anakin arrived in Jabba's palace and activated his lightsaber in front of the Hutt.
"Okay, stick-tinnies, you're going back to Dooku in pieces."Anakin demanded.
"This is Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker."TC-70 said. "As Count Dooku said, your son isn't with him."
"What? Your son's not here?"Anakin said angrily. "Where's Ahsoka? What have you done with my Padawan?"
"You came here to kill Jabba."TC-70 said.
Anakin looked at Jabba, covering his hatred for the Hutt.
"Mighty Jabba, I came here to negotiate."Anakin corrected.
Outside...
Ahsoka fought the last droid and took it down.
"Being a Padawan is harder than I thought."Ahsoka murmured sadly. "Let's get you home."
In the palace...
Jabba spoke angrily at Anakin.
"You came here to destroy the Hutt Clan."TC-70 said.
The smugglers aimed their blasters at Anakin.
"Stop!"Ahsoka called out.
Ahsoka rushed to the entrance while holding Jabba's son.
The female Torguta gave Jabba his son who happily took him.
Anakin and Ahsoka smiled at them before Jabba growled at the two.
"You are to be executed immediately."TC-70 announced.
"What?"Anakin and Ahsoka said in shock.
The guards got their blasters ready and the two Jedi took out their lightsabers.
"Does this always happen to you?"Ahsoka asked.
"Everywhere I go."Anakin replied.
Then Jabba's comlink started glowing and beeping.
"Your Uncle Ziro is contacting us."TC-70 said.
The droid pressed the button and a hologram of Padme appeared.
"Greetings, honorable Jabba. I'm Senator Padme Amidala of the Galactic Senate."Padme informed."I have discovered a plot against you by one of your own. Your uncle will admit he conspired with Count Dooku and Darth Sidious to kidnap your son and frame Master Skywalker and Padawan Tano for the crime so you can be taken down and he can rule the Hutt Clan."
Jabba angrily confronted Ziro whilst his uncle stuttered to defend himself.
"It was Count Dooku and Darth Sidious!"Ziro blurted out.
Ziro's sentence only made Jabba angrier.
The image went away and Padme returned.
"Ziro will be dealt with by the Hutt Clan most severely."TC-70 stated.
"Perhaps now you will allow the Republic to use your trade routes and hostilities can come to an end."Padme said softly.
Jabba laughed before he spoke and the protocol droid answered for him.
"Jabba agrees."TC-70 stated. "A treaty is in order."
"You will not regret this, Jabba."Padme informed.
Anakin and Ahsoka deactivated their lightsabers.
"The Grand Army of the Republic may move through Jabba's territories."TC-70 translated.
Anakin smiled at his beloved.
"Senator."Anakin interrupted, looking at his beloved wife. "You have my undying gratitude."
"No, Master Skywalker."Padme responded. "It is I and the Republic who owe you and Padawan Tano thanks."
With that, the transmission of Padme ended.
Jabba gives a response.
"Jabba will be most appreciative if you and Padawan Tano also brought Dooku and his Master to justice for their crimes against the Hutt Clan."TC-70 commented.
Anakin gives Jabba a small glare of revenge since he wants Count Dooku to die more than anyone in the galaxy.
"You can count on it, Jabba."Anakin promised darkly.
Meanwhile in Count Dooku's escape pod...
Count Dooku spoke to Darth Sidious.
"It's unfortunate, Master Sidious."Count Dooku admitted. "The Jedi Order'll now have their supply routes to the Outer Rim again, our fight has become far more difficult."
"Allow the Jedi their small victory, my friend."Darth Sidious declared. "You know the engines of this war turn in our favour."
Back on Tatooine...
Obi-Wan and Nadia greeted Anakin and Ahsoka after landing their gunship with Master Yoda.
All five of them turned to look at Jabba and his reunited son.
"I really can't wait for our next adventures."Nadia thought with a bright smile.
Finally finished the movie:)
Next is Season 1.
See you all later!
