Star Wars: The Clone Wars Legacy 2 In Search of the Crystal
The journey is often more important than the destination.
Unsolved mystery!
Having travelled to the sinkhole planet of Utapau to investigate the *** of a Jedi...
...Anakin Skywalker and his master, Obi-Wan Kenobi...
...find evidence pointing to a troubling conspiracy between the local Amani and the Separatists.
The surprising involvement of Sugi warriors...
...leads the Jedi to a secret arms deal.
Undaunted by intense pressure to leave the planet at once...
...the Jedi plan their next move.
It looks as though there's a village ahead.
Let's hope it's the right one.
This seems to be the place.
At least they only have primitive weapons.
We can take them easily.
No. Anakin, wait!
Over here.
Precision laser darts.
Yes, I was about to tell you that if these are the Amani that killed Master Twuon...
...they might have precision laser darts.
But as usual, you end rushing in.
Well, at least we know we're on the right track.
On right track but now the question is...
...which track?
These things seem to scatter in every direction.
Did you find something?
Footprints starting here. Then bounding away.
Okay. We saw that.
Yes but this track is significantly larger and deeper than the others. Don't you agree?
Sure.
They clearly belong to the most powerful member of the tribe. Most likely, its leader.
If we follow this track, it'll lead us to the Sugi weapons dealer.
That's gonna be a lot of walking.
Since you rushed in and got our Mounds killed...
Yes. It is going to be a lot of walking.
These things cover a lot of ground.
They slowed to a walk here.
Their base must be close by.
I'll contact Ahsoka, maybe she can...
Anakin?
Forget about it. She's gone.
Anakin, do you want to talk about it?
What's there to talk about?
Nothing I suppose is.
Perhaps we should set up camp. Sound like a plan?
Whatever you say, Master.
Anakin, dwelling on Ahsoka's decision won't bring her back.
I miss her, okay? Is that you wanted me to say?
I still can't understand how she could have left the Order.
It was a surprise decision to all of us.
It was wrong. She's a Jedi. She belongs with us.
She's one of us.
She made the decision, Anakin.
Well, what choice did we give her?
The moment there were any suspicions about her loyalty the Council turned their back on her.
I would grant you mistakes we made but she chose to leave.
Part of the Jedi way is not letting emotion cloud your better judgement.
And that's precisely what Ahsoka did. Even in her most critical moment.
Why don't you get some rest?
I'm not tired.
You can rest, Master. I'll keep first watch.
Well then, I'll accept your kind offer.
You can't take responsibility for Ahsoka's decision, Anakin.
How would you feel if I turned into a major disappointment?
It's not the same.
It's precisely the same.
You took me under your wing and practically raised me.
I'm your padawan. Just like Ahsoka was mine.
How well would you sleep knowing I failed you?
Not very well, I imagine.
Luckily, that isn't true.
And never will be.
Anakin!
Don't bother me!
I'm sleeping.
You were supposed to wake me?
Actually, I thought this would be an effective way to draw them in.
Oh, so this is your idea of a plan.
You intentionally fell asleep and let us get captured?
Well, it's working, isn't it?
Hey, hands off!
He wants your lightsaber, Anakin. Let him have it.
I'm trying to act convincing.
Bravo. Brilliant performance.
Hey, back off!
I'm betting they'll take us to their leader.
I have no idea. This is your plan, remember?
- I just woke up. - You do seem rested.
Wonderful. I'll make a very pleasant captive.
Can they understand what we're saying?
The primitive ones probably not.
Are these?
I'm not sure.
Hey. Hi.
My friend and I were just discussing our escape plans...
...out loud in front of you.
Yup. They're primitive, alright.
I say we take them right now.
No. Easy, Anakin. Trying stay calm.
How can I stay calm? He's pointing a blaster at my head.
Oh, come on! Now they're just playing with my lightsaber.
Let it go.
Hey! Be careful. You're gonna hurt yourself.
No. Oh not that button.
I warned him.
Was that really necessary?
What are two Jedi doing...
...on the revolve plains of Utapau?
Oh. A civilised one.
I asked you a question.
A Jedi was mur-
Weapons. We're here to buy weapons.
We've been told you have what we want.
We have no weapons here.
Oh, I'm terribly sorry. I must have been mistaken.
It appears your reputation on Coruscant as the Galaxy's premier arms dealers...
...grossly overstated.
We'll have to correct that misconception when we get back, won't we, Anakin?
You won't be getting back.
You'll be dead.
You're a liar.
What?
Everyone inside of the Outer Rim knows about your deal with General Grievous.
That's right.
We all know about it.
And we want it.
Yes. We want that nice shiny weapon, too.
And we're willing to pay a lot.
I... I...
I will have to advise my superiors of this situation.
Let's go.
Well, at least now we know where we're going.
I changed my mind.
I thought getting captured was a good idea but maybe we should just make our move now.
Patience. I admit this was a good plan. You just need to give it more time.
I prefer taking action in these situations. You know that.
And I prefer negotiating.
Remember, it's amazing what you can learn just by talking to someone.
Oh yeah.
By the way could you have given me some warning? We're here to buy weapons?
Sorry but I had to think fast on my feet.
Besides, you're not so clever.
Everyone inside the Outer Rim knows about the weapon?
Oh, so I guess you're the only one who can think on his feet.
Apparently.
Where do you think this Sugi went anyway?
I have the distinct feeling he went to get the big man.
Did you say big man?
Don't anger him.
Hello, I am Obi-Wan Kenobi and this is Anakin Skywalker.
Who may I ask are you?
My name is not important.
Well, it's just... normally it helps out a certain decorum to business transactions.
I hear the Republic is interested in buying the crystal.
Crystal?
Yes, we're most definitely interested in buying the crystal.
Oh, crystal.
I thought you said missile.
No. He definitely said crystal. And that's why we're here to purchase the crystal.
Are there any more Jedi here?
On Utapau?
No. Just the two of us.
The Republic trusts us to make the deal.
However, we're in constant contact with the Council.
You have created a problem for me.
I have already promised the crystal to General Grievous.
I assure you there's no problem.
We pay twice what Grievous is offering.
Show me the money.
Show us the crystal.
You're one of those.
Very well. Chung, we're leaving.
What? More walking?
Don't you guys have a speeder or a ship somewhere?
Crystal?
The only crystal I know that you can weaponize is a Kyber Crystal.
It is the fundamental element in the lightsaber.
Yes. Still it's odd.
Are we there yet?
You're not getting tired, are you?
Tired of walking, no. Tired of being a prisoner, yes.
Oh look, another mount. The thrills never stop on Utapau.
Very good, Anakin.
No, no, I mean it. Look at all this grass.
Have you ever been so excited?
Anakin, that's quite enough.
You're right. I prefer the mount to the grass.
They just really stand out.
Wait.
That's no mount.
That's a spaceship.
Count Dooku, we have captured two Jedi.
They know about the crystal, Count.
Kill them before others arrive.
They offered me twice what you're paying.
Reneging on our deal would be most unwise for you.
I am true to my word.
But disposing of two Jedi might require further compensation.
Shall we say?
- Doubles, doubles, doubles. - Kill the Jedi.
When General Grievous arrives, he will give you what you won't deserve.
I bet he pays us triple.
This looks like their base of operations.
Which means the weapon is probably here.
Well, I hate just standing around. Let's get going.
I was thinking the same thing.
Let's get out of here.
I'm not leaving without my lightsaber.
Up there!
Brilliant idea.
This is a much narrowest space.
No room to maneuver, we'll be shot for sure.
Sorry. I thought it would be a good place to hide.
It's never a good place to hide.
We're always in the ventilation duct, every ship we going.
- Should we try it? - Can't spend whole day in here.
Now this is more like it.
I don't think any of these are the weapons we're looking for.
Right now I'm just looking for anything that works.
A bit much, isn't it?
Yeah. You're right. This one is overkill.
Now these on the other hand...
What do you think?
Such a clumsy weapon.
Oh stop being stubborn and pick up a blaster.
That's fine for you. I'll just keep using my mind instead of muscle.
Hang on.
I think they're at the door.
How about a smoke screen?
Now you're talking.
So glad you approve.
Feel free to blast anything that makes it through that door.
Nice shooting.
You haven't seen anything yet. Watch this.
Are you quite done showing off, Anakin? No one's impressed.
Impressive, Jedi.
But without your lightsabers you are defenceless.
Alright, now that was impressive.
Thank you, Master.
The Jedi are loose in the ship. We must regroup.
Get me out of here!
The arms dealer. Don't let him go!
Kill them!
On second thought continue getting me out of here.
We need him alive.
Master!
You better take a look at this.
What is it?
It's a Kyber Crystal.
But I've never seen one this big before.
What do you suppose Grievous wants with it?
Grievous or Dooku.
I don't know.
But it's for something much bigger than a lightsaber. That's for certain.
Let's get out of here!
Without the crystal?
Oh we're taking the crystal...
...and the whole ship with it.
I fire up the engines.
