- "It must have been your father whom my uncle spoke. Apparently this Skywalker saved his life at the Battle of Sedratis."
- ―Taneetch Soonta, to Luke Skywalker
The Battle of Sedratis took place during the Clone Wars,[1] a conflict that pitted the Galactic Republic against the Confederacy of Independent Systems.[2] Jedi Generals Anakin Skywalker and Huulik led the forces of the Republic Military to victory in the battle. Luke Skywalker learned of the battle and his father's involvement in it decades later during the Galactic Civil War.[1]
The battle
Anakin Skywalker (pictured during a piloting operation) took part in the Battle of Sedratis.
The leaders of the Republic forces included the Jedi Knights and ace pilots Anakin Skywalker and Huulik, onboard their Jedi starfighters. At some point during the battle, the Jedi found themselves swarmed by Confederate droid fighters, and the energy shields of Huulik's starfighter were depleted, making him vulnerable to the enemy ships' attacks. However, Skywalker flew in-between him and the next blast from the droid fighters, saving the life of his fellow Jedi. The battle ultimately resulted in a victory of the Republic. Following their adventures at Sedratis, Skywalker and Huulik came to fight together on several other occasions.[1]
Aftermath
About two decades after the event, Huulik's niece Taneetch Soonta shared a brief account of the Battle of Sedratis with the son of Skywalker, a trainee Jedi called Luke.[1]
