Chapter 23 Part 2
Chapter 23 Part 2 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.
Saesee Tinn leads his squadron of fighters into the outer atmosphere of Coruscant, where hundreds of Trade Federation cruisers battle with similar numbers of Republic Star Destroyers. Landing in the docking bay of a heavily-damaged Republic ship, Tinn leads the stricken vessel's clone troopers on a spacewalk to take over the nearest Trade Federation cruiser. Taking control, Tinn has the ship fire its cannons on the nearest Providence ship.
In a ritual ceremony, the Nelvaanian shaman, Orvos, tells Obi-Wan of the prophecy of "Ghost Hand"—a stranger who will save their village. Kenobi shows them Anakin's prosthetic arm. Anakin asks what he was doing and Obi-Wan replies that it is what he is doing.
Yoda stands in front the approaching CIS army. Using the Force, he lifts hundreds of approaching droidekas into the air, where they collide with the droid starfighters. He then lifts several C-9979s back into the sky, where they also collide with each other. Hearing that their forces are losing ground in Sector 4, Yoda leaps aboard his kybuck and races to help.
As part of the ritual, Orvos covers Anakin in bruise-leech crawlers, which leave painful geometric tracks over the young Jedi's body. Told to follow the "frozen tears of the Great Mother", Anakin begins his long journey, an undertaking Obi-Wan tells him will be his final trial.
Yoda and Windu bolster the faltering clone troops as the droid army closes in on the Senate building. Using a combination of their combined Force powers and combat skills, the two Jedi Masters begin to regain the upper hand.
In his office, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine watches the distant battle. Three Jedi—Shaak Ti, Roron Corobb and Foul Moudama—arrive and urge the Chancellor to make his way to his secure bunker. As Palpatine declines, saying there is no immediate danger, General Grievous smashes through the window...
