Hello There
This week I have been presented the opportunity to participate in Tartakovsky Thursdays and cover one of my all time favorite episodes of this show, thank you so much @ArtooD2 for giving me this chance. We will be covering the start to the battle of Coruscant ,and the beginning to Anakin's Trials on Nelvaan, let us begin.
You can watch the episode here .
Here is the Archive for Tartakovsky Thursdays.
We open on the planet Coruscant with Jedi Grandmaster Yoda meditating as he feels a disturbance in the force he opens the blinds to find the droid army has begun invading Coruscant. Master Windu rushes in to warn Yoda, then we get a view of the droids destroying parts of the city and mobilizing. Mace Windu and Master Saesee Tiin Jump into their Jedi Interceptors and fly into the battle.
On Nelvaan we see Anakin and Obi-wan riding with the Nelvaanian tribe. They ride past a small village and Anakin makes the discovery, that there are only women and children left in the village. Anakin and Obi-Wan sit by some villagers and discover that Anakin must venture into fire for part of his Trial.
Back on Coruscant we see Padme and 3po leave to Evacuate the city, we then see Windu in his Jedi Interceptor attack multiple droids then after narrowly avoiding an attack from behind he accidentally flies into a wave of Vulture droids and his ship becomes disabled. He only has one choice leave his starfighter and find a new one, he jumps from his ship and lands on a Vulture Drioid, he uses his Lightsaber to cut open the Drioid and find the wires to manually control it.
After coming very close to crashing Windu pulls the Vulture droid up and uses it to assist a couple clones.We then cut back to Saesee tiin as he enters the space above Coruscant and sees absolute Chaos. He lands in his venator and meets his Clone Commander who briefs him that their current ship is going down, Saesee infroms him "Then it is time to get a new one".
Saesee's Clone Battalion prepares to board a Separatists Cruiser, as the ship comes into range Saesee give the command to attack. Saesee and his Clones jump onto the Separatists Cruiser and begin to shoot at the turbolasers and enter the ship. After a small scuffle they manage to deactivate the ship and turn the turbolasers to take down another unsuspecting Droid Starship.
We cut back to Nelvaan as the Shaman prays and asks "The Mother" to show them the stangers purpose. The mother answers back "Ghost Hand" , Obi-Wan realizes they are talking about Anakins Cybernetic hand. Curious Anakin asks Obi- wan "What are you doing", Obi wan Responds " No its what you are doing".
We then see Yoda holding off a battalion of Droidekas, Tri Fighters and Droid Dropships. After defeating each droid in sight Yoda recives a call from Captain Fordo who informs him "Alert we are losing ground on sector 4" Yoda hops into action and rushes to get to sector 4.
On Nelvaan Anakin recives his Tattoo's from the village shaman and learns of what he must do. He then packs his things and after a breif conversation with Kenobi he Leaves to fulfil his mission. He promises Obi wan he wont fail, as Obi Wan tells Anakin "No Anakin don't fail yourself."
We then see Fordo still calling for backup as all of the clones he had left are gunned down behind him. He uses his DC-15A to Blast one droid down then uses it to bash another droid over the head and blast it into pieces. He throws his blaster at another Super battledroid ,and pulls out his Commando Pistol to finish it off he then picks up another DC-15A and uses to kill all the droids approaching on his left and his Commando pistol to kill all the rest. Then he issues the command to fall back, as he does Yoda arrives just in time to halt the retreat. Yoda then charges into the fight, along with Yoda Mace Windu arrives and crashes his Vulture Droid right in the middle of the B2s He then uses his Shatterpoint to destroy mutiple B2s with his hands . They both join next to each other and use a Force Push to destroy all remaining droids on the bridge, then they and all the clones charge into the larger force of droids behind the bridge.
Lastly we see Palpatine drinking some tea and watching as the battle ensues far away. Shak Ti and a small force of clones and jedi arrive to get Palpatine to safety, but he refuses to leave. As they talk they hear a loud metallic thumping. Shak Ti soon relizes what the sound is, but nothing happens then after a joke from Palpatine the glass shatters and General Grevious shows himself.

I really love this Episode, I love how you can truly see how much Obi wan and Anakins relationship has improved since the first season. I also really enjoyed the Saesee Tiin space battle sequence and especially loved the Captain fordo Sector 4 Part. I really love how this show portrays each person's unique abilites and power like Windu and Yoda . I also like how you can feel the battle of Coruscants scale here and just how immense the battle really was. From me this episode and most of this show will always be a 10/10.
Thats it for this week ,and May The Force Be With You.
