Chapter 23 Part 1
Chapter 23 Part 1 is the third episode in Season 3 of the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated television series. The episode originally aired on Cartoon Network on March 23, 2005.
Master Yoda quietly meditates in his room in the Jedi Temple. Suddenly, he looks up in shocked surprise, using the Force to raise the window blinds. Outside, a massive Confederate battle fleet consisting of Vulture droids, tri-fighters and C-9979 landing craft roars past the window. Mace Windu bursts in, announcing that Coruscant is under attack.
The C-9979s continue to spill their deadly cargo of battle droids and Armored Assault Tanks onto the streets of the city. Saesee Tiin reports that CIS ships were continuing to spill out of hyperspace, and Windu orders him to take command of Coruscant's space defense. The two Jedi board their starfighters, and take off into the meleé.
On Nelvaan, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker and the Nelvaanian tribe ride banthas towards the village. Anakin notices that the village is only populated by women and children. Taken to the very elderly village shaman, Obi-Wan translates the Nelvaanian's language for Anakin. Anakin's killing of the horax had interrupted the young boy's rite of passage trial. A great evil plagues their land, and none of the champions sent out from the village have ever returned.
Back on Coruscant, missiles from some Hailfire droids strike Padmé Amidala's apartment building. Captain Gregar Typho evacuates Padmé and a panicking C-3PO, along with the other occupants of the building.
Jedi Master Saesee Tiin and his troops preparing for their attack.Mace Windu flies through the city, destroying dozens of droid fighters as he goes. Flying into a massive swarm of Vulture droids, his starfighter is torn apart. Ejecting from the canopy, Windu lands on one of the droid fighters, which he cuts open with his lightsaber and hot-wires to ride it through the sky. Three clone pilots in an ARC-170 watch in amazement as Windu destroys the trio of droid fighters on their tail.
