Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 TV series)



Series Summary(As of Nov. 14)

The series begins with Yoda and his clones facing off against Asajj Ventress and her droid army to prove the Jedi are worthy of protecting and allying with a key planet, which ultimately agrees to side with the Republic.

Afterwards, the Republic learns of General Grevious' new weapon, an ion cannon, which he uses to disable ships before destroying them and all survivors, leaving no witnesses. Grievous then sets upon a medical base, but is intercepted by Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano and a clone team, substantially disabling Grevious' ship, the Malevolence. However, as the massive ship starts to limp away, Padmé Amidala inadvertently becomes a pawn, halting the attack and requiring Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi to attempt a daring rescue. Though they rescue the Senator and destroy the Malevolence, Grievous escapes.

While defending an outpost on the Rishi moon besieged by Grievous' droid commando army, a unit of rookie clones, with the assistance of Commander Cody and Captain Rex, manage to destroy the base and alert the Republic of Grievous' presence. The Republic fleet rushed to Rishi and drive Grievous' fleet away.

Anakin attempts to lure Grievous into a trap, but instead loses R2-D2 in a dogfight. Because he never wiped R2's memory banks of crucial information that can be exploited by the Seperatists, Anakin attempts to find him, motivated primarily by the close bond he shares with R2. He is paired with replacement astromech R3-S6, a seemingly incompetent droid who later turns out to be a saboteur and Separatist spy. Fortunately, Anakin retrieves R2 and destroys a Seperatist listening post, while R2 destroys the treacherous R3.

NOV 21st.

Padmé is again captured by the Seperatists led by Nute Gunray, leading Jar Jar Binks to stage a rescue.
