Chapter 25-Part 2
Chapter 25 Part 2 is the fifth episode in Season 3 of the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated television series. The episode originally aired on Cartoon Network on March 25, 2005.
The Nelvaan warriors reach the planet's surface, where the waiting battle droids are destroyed at the planet's ice age comes to an end. An enraged Skywalker clambers to the surface, where he kills the Techno Union scientists trying to flee in their ship. Seeing Anakin's ravaged arm, the Nelvaan mutants worship him as "holt kezed"—"ghost hand"—their savior, and in solidarity they tear the implanted weapons from their own arms. Anakin and the Nelvaanians return to the village. The women are at first horrified by the mutants, but when a child recognizes her father, the familial bonds are restored.
On Coruscant, Foul Moudama and Roron Corobb manage to get Palpatine into his secure bunker. Once they are locked inside, they realize that General Grievous has beaten them to it, and the two Jedi leap forward to defend their leader, who sinks, seemingly unconcerned by the danger, into the shadows. As the Moudama and Corobb manage to get Grievous in a saber-lock, his arms split along their lengths into four. His extra two arms then grab the remaining two lightsabers on his waist, and Grievous lunges forward.
Shaak Ti continues to fight off Grievous's MagnaGuards, but when the droids suddenly retreat, she realizes they've been keeping her busy while Grievous reaches the others. As she races to the bunker, Grievous finishes off the other two Jedi, before turning to and threatening Palpatine. Palpatine calmly replies that Grievous wouldn't dare hurt him, for fear of his master's wrath. Grievous venomously replies that Palpatine is lucky he's wanted alive.
Just then, Shaak Ti arrives. Horrified to see the bodies of her comrades, she charges Grievous. Grievous easily grabs the exhausted Jedi by the throat, relieves her of her lightsaber, and activates snaking cables from his wrist, announcing he has other plans for her.
The droids on Grievous's ship open fire on the gunship with Mace Windu on board. Windu jumps to safety, and as Grievous ignites four lightsabers, Windu uses the Force to squeeze the chest plates protecting the General's organs. Grievous turns and flees on board, coughing furiously. Windu tries to leap after the ascending ship, but the vessel's blaster barrage forces him to defend himself, thus robbing him of the power behind the leap, and the ship blasts into space. He rushes into the bunker to find the two dead Jedi, with Shaak Ti trussed and tied to the ceiling, devastated by her failure to protect the Chancellor.
R2-D2 is helping Anakin repair his arm, when an urgent message is received from Mace Windu on Coruscant—the planet is under siege and the Chancellor has been abducted. They are to return immediately and attempt to rescue Palpatine. As Anakin orders the cruiser into hyperspace, the Battle of Coruscant continues to rage around the planet-city...
