I'm sorry I'm late. I just heard about the briefing. 39 00:02:10,587 --> 00:02:12,464 We're going to rescue Master Piell, right? 40 00:02:16,343 --> 00:02:18,595 You two have much to discuss. 41 00:02:21,098 --> 00:02:23,433 Ahsoka, I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, 42 00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:26,019 but you won't be coming along on this one. 43 00:02:26,103 --> 00:02:29,398 Not coming? But you're breaking into the Citadel! 44 00:02:29,565 --> 00:02:30,941 No one's ever done it. 45 00:02:31,024 --> 00:02:33,735 The Citadel wasn't designed to hold common criminals. 46 00:02:33,777 --> 00:02:37,114 It was created to hold Jedi if any of us lost our way. 47 00:02:37,864 --> 00:02:39,449 It's not a place for Padawans. 48 00:02:40,117 --> 00:02:42,119 You're just being protective again. 49 00:02:42,536 --> 00:02:46,582 That's not fair. How am I supposed to learn if you won't let me share the risk? 50 00:02:46,999 --> 00:02:50,294 This isn't a mission for learning. You either do or die. 51 00:02:51,545 --> 00:02:53,297 And that's not a risk I'm willing to share. 52 00:03:03,473 --> 00:03:07,769 Artoo! Look out! Behind you! You're being followed by battle droids! 53 00:03:10,022 --> 00:03:13,317 These are your troops?

We're flying right into the heart of Separatist territory. 62 00:03:44,014 --> 00:03:45,599 Droids won't be detected. 63 00:03:49,937 --> 00:03:51,188 Artoo. 64 00:03:51,271 --> 00:03:53,065 Make sure they don't stray from the flight plan. 65 00:03:54,024 --> 00:03:55,943 It's all under control, sir. 66 00:03:56,026 --> 00:03:58,028 I was talking to Artoo. 67 00:04:03,033 --> 00:04:05,202 Master Plo?

Master Skywalker doesn't want me to go. 70 00:04:13,210 --> 00:04:15,546 That is his choice. 71 00:04:17,756 --> 00:04:21,176 I know. But I think he's being overly protective. 72 00:04:21,552 --> 00:04:24,721 He's picking and choosing which assignments I can be a part of. 73 00:04:25,472 --> 00:04:27,349 He is your master. 74 00:04:28,225 --> 00:04:31,895 Yes, but it's not for him to decide 75 00:04:31,979 --> 00:04:34,398 when and how I should put my life in danger. 76 00:04:34,898 --> 00:04:36,358 That should be my choice. 77 00:04:40,404 --> 00:04:42,698 I've never been carbon-frozen before, General. 78 00:04:43,073 --> 00:04:44,866 It's the first time for us, too. 79 00:04:48,078 --> 00:04:50,747 This is your idea? Carbon freezing? 80 00:04:51,081 --> 00:04:54,251 Hey, you wanted to shield us from the life-form scanners. 81 00:04:54,877 --> 00:04:57,504 Are we sure this thing is safe? 82 00:04:58,171 --> 00:05:00,090 I don't want to end up a wall decoration. 83 00:05:00,340 --> 00:05:03,760 Try to relax.

They'll know we're here. 130 00:10:23,413 --> 00:10:26,250 I suppose that means we free-climb it. 131 00:10:42,558 --> 00:10:44,226 You hanging in there, Snips? 132 00:10:45,102 --> 00:10:46,603 Couldn't be better. 133 00:10:48,105 --> 00:10:49,940 I could do without the wind, though. 134 00:10:56,947 --> 00:10:59,408 The entry point is just a few more meters. 135 00:11:42,242 --> 00:11:44,953 They locked the door!

Let's get out of here. 185 00:17:55,741 --> 00:17:57,618 I hear something. 186 00:18:11,256 --> 00:18:12,382 General. 187 00:18:12,549 --> 00:18:13,884 Captain Tarkin. 188 00:18:14,509 --> 00:18:16,553 I never thought I'd see you again. 189 00:18:16,678 --> 00:18:18,555 And you brought friends. 190 00:18:18,597 --> 00:18:22,226 Tarkin, this is Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. 191 00:18:23,060 --> 00:18:25,896 Well, now that you've found us, how do you expect to get us out? 192 00:18:26,021 --> 00:18:29,524 If they've locked this fortress down, there's at least ten squads on their way. 193 00:18:29,733 --> 00:18:31,985 It's going to be impossible to escape. 194 00:18:32,527 --> 00:18:35,781 What if we split up? My team will create a diversion, 195 00:18:35,906 --> 00:18:39,701 while Anakin leads the others away. That way, if one of us is captured, 196 00:18:39,785 --> 00:18:43,121 the enemy will only have part of the information and not all of it. 197 00:18:43,622 --> 00:18:47,084 General Kenobi, I think it's better if we stick together. 198 00:18:47,417 --> 00:18:49,378 A stronger force would have a better chance 199 00:18:49,419 --> 00:18:52,756 - of protecting the information. - Not in this situation. 200 00:18:53,090 --> 00:18:57,553 But surely we'd have more strength in numbers, rather than divide us. 201 00:18:58,053 --> 00:19:02,474 Obi-Wan has a point. I'll go with him, you go with Skywalker. 202 00:19:28,083 --> 00:19:29,334 They escaped, sir. 203 00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:37,009 Captain, show this droid what happens when we use that word. 204 00:19:42,764 --> 00:19:45,142 Sir! They've been spotted heading for the upper levels. 205 00:19:45,559 --> 00:19:47,644 They're trying to steal a transport. 206 00:19:48,270 --> 00:19:52,608 Seal the landing platform and send all battalions to their positions. 207 00:19:52,774 --> 00:19:55,360 Bring them back alive. 208 00:20:00,991 --> 00:20:02,117 Hey! 209 00:20:37,861 --> 00:20:38,987 Everybody in. 210 00:20:50,832 --> 00:20:53,043 This is one of the original fortress tunnels. 211 00:20:53,377 --> 00:20:55,921 The advantage of old archive data. 212 00:20:59,424 --> 00:21:00,759 The tunnel's clear! 213 00:21:01,385 --> 00:21:05,222 Looks like Obi-Wan's distraction worked. Things seem to be going as planned. 214 00:21:05,889 --> 00:21:09,059 It's when things do not go as planned that concerns me. 215 00:21:09,434 --> 00:21:11,937 - What then? - It's when things don't go as planned 216 00:21:12,104 --> 00:21:14,982 that we Jedi are at our best. Trust me. 217 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:20,070 I reserve my trust for those who take action, General Skywalker. 218 00:21:20,571 --> 00:21:23,782 Then let me remind you, we rescued you back there. 219 00:21:23,949 --> 00:21:25,409 And I reserve my trust 220 00:21:25,450 --> 00:21:28,912 for those who understand gratitude, Captain Tarkin.
