I hope I am better at telling stories than 3PO or it would be downright boring. On the other hand this page is not about interesting stories so please bear with me. What this page is about is the battles of the clone wars, if you want the interesting version then go buy the source, which I will have listed. I know for a fact that there are very few people who buy every piece of Star Wars literature-myself included. I have tons of books but when it comes to comics I have almost none. The purpose of this page is to give a brief overview of every battle. So if you want to know what happened in the battle Geonosis without watching Attack of the Clones you can just come here and read about it. Although If you haven’t seen Attack of the Clones or are at least planning to see it then you probably have no business on this site. Any way I do hope to have a brief summary of every battle. As I said I don’t read everything myself so I might be asking you people to e-mail summaries to me. And don’t worry; you will be credited for anything of yours that I put on this site.

Setting the Stage

A bounty Hunter named Zam Wesel attempted to assassinate senetor Padme Amidala. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker cought her but before she could tell who hired her she was shot by a Kamino Saber Dart. When Kenobi found out where the dart came from he went to Kamino to investigate. There he discovered a Clone Army being built for the republic, which supposedly had been ordered by Jedi Master Sifo Dyas ten years ago-records show, however that he died before that. Obi Wan questioned the Bounty Hunter who was the clones template-Jango Fett. Jango who has a ten tear old son Boba(really an unaltered clone of himself) claimed that a man called Tyranus recruited him. Upon contacting Jedi Masters Mace Windu and Yoda Obi-Wan aprehend to capture Jango. This led to a fierce battle both planetside and in space. Kenobi followed Jango to Geonosis where he discovered a large concentration of Trade Federation ships, the production of huge droid army, and Seperatist leaders: former Jedi Count Dooku, Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray, and members of the Techno Union, and the Banking Clan. After transmitting a message to Coruscant via Anakin he was captured.

After retransmitting the message from Tattooine Anakin went to rescue Obi-Wan. Padme Amidala was with him because he had been on Naboo protecting her until he decided to find his mother on Tattooine. He ended up finding his mom just in time to watch her die in his arms. He then slew the Tusken Raiders who had been holding her prisoner. Arriving on Geonosis Anakin and Padme faught their way through the the droid foundries only to be captured. C-3PO and R2-D2 were also with them. R2 alone evaded capture. 3PO was not captured but his head wound up on a battle droid body and vice versa.

The Battle

Anakin, Padme, and Obi-Wan had their hands tied to pillars in the Geonosis Arena. Three vicious beasts-Reek, Nexu, and Aklay were sent out to kill them. With cunning and a little help from the force they defeated the beasts. The Nexu was killed, the Aklay was hurt and the three of them were riding the Reek. Just then a group of Destroyer druids surrounded them.

In the mean time Mace Windu and Luminara Unduli cleared the way for several hundred Jedi to land. Using Jedi Speeders they escorted the Knights to the arena. They snuck in and Mace Windu snuck up to the box where the leaders were gathered. Boba and Jango Fett were there as well as Count Dooku and Nute Gunray who had been anxious for Padme to die. Mace pulled his lightsaber on Jango and told Dooku that the party was over. At that moment Dooku gave the signal and thousands of battle druids came pouring out from all sides. Fett used his flamethrower to knock Mace off the edge and down into the arena. A fierce battle of Jedi verses droid ensued. Later in the battle jingo decided to get into the action. He took on Windu and wound up getting decapitated. Ten year old Boba looked on in horror. During the battle many Jedi were killed, and R2-D2 with a little help from kit Fisto and another Jedi put 3PO back together. The Jedi found themselves surrounded by battle druids on all sides. Dooku told the droids to cease fire. He asked the Jedi to surrender but they refused.

Out from the sky cme Republic Gunships filled with clone troopers. Leading them was none other than Yoda. He had gone to Kamino to inspect the army. Now he had arrived with tons of what seemed to be prequel versions of the Star Destroyer, the AT-AT, AT-ST, and Stormtroopers. It was really Clonetroopers, Republic Assault ships, AT-TE’s, SPHA-T’s, and other vehicles thrown in with the trops by the Kaminoans. All the Jedi left in the arena were rescued and the druids there in destroyed.

A massive ground battle followed. With the Jedi giving directions to the clones they were able to stop most of the Trade Federation and Techno Union Starships from taking off. During the battle Anakin, Obi-wan, and Padme were in a republic gunship with a few clones. They spied Count Dooku leaving in a speeder. He was being escorted by two Geonosian Starfighters. Their gunship was out of missiles after destroying a Techno Union ship but they followed anyway. The Geonosian fighters circled around hamering the gunship. Padme fell out and Anakin almost ordered them to stop and get her. Kenobi convinced him to let them keep following Dooku. They followed to a Large hanger. Anakin charged at the count brandishing his lightsaber. Dooku knocked him into a corner with force lightning. Obi-Wan fought the count furiously but was defeated. His lightsaber was lying next to him and Dooku was about to administer the killing blow when Anakin jumped up. Kenobi used the force to throw his own sword to Anakin giving him two blades. Dooku eventually beat him, disarming one blade then cutting off the arm in which Skywalker held the other. In walks Yoda. Yoda catches Dooku’s force lightning, easily shoves aside the rocks thrown at him, then shows dooku who the sword master really is. Dooku uses the force to throw something at Anakin and Obi-Wan. While Yoda is pushing it away he escapes. Yoda senses that Dooku is using the dark side.

Outcome

Geonosis is retaken by the republic. Chancellor Palpatine is given emergency powers in the Senate. Many Jedi die. The Clone Wars begin. Anakin marries Padme. We find out that Yoda can Kick some…
