the death toll rises.
As the battles intensify and
threaten a growing number of
Republic worlds, planets are
left to survive on their own
while the jedi struggle to fight
a war on many fronts.
A series of medical stations
have been established
as a lifeline for those in need,
but the facilities are easy prey
for separatist attacks.
After losing contact with the
medical station orbiting
felucia, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin
Skywalker and ahsoka tano are
sent to investigate.
That's felucia, dead ahead.
But where's the medical
station?
I don't see anything on my
scanners.
Wait, there's something.
Vulture droids.
Hang on.
I guess we know what happened
to the medical station.
That's not good.
They took out the plasma
conduit.
You thinking what I'm
thinking?
Almost certainly not.
Looks like we're doing this
the hard way.
Starting ejection sequence.
How come every time you fly,
we crash?
It's not my fault.
It's the ship.
Ready to eject.
Wait...
Now!
He always...Blames...
The ship.
Ugh! Oh!
You all right there, master?
I'm fine, Anakin.
Where on felucia do you think
we are?
I'm not sure.
I don't like the sound
of that.
And I don't like the look
of that.
We don't want to scare 'em.
We can't just wander around
aimlessly.
We need a plan.
You always taught me to go on
instinct and my instincts tell
me to go that way.
No, that...
That doesn't seem right.
I think we should go this way.
Why do you even ask for my
opinion?
You never do things my way.
We crashed the ship your way.
Very funny.
I see your sense of humor
survived the landing.
It's about the only thing.
Uh, if you two are done
arguing, I think there's some
smoke on the horizon,
which means people
and a way off this planet.
Look, there's a village.
Maybe they have a ship we
can...Borrow.
Hmm, they're growing healing
herbs.
Nysillim, I believe, one of
the most valuable crops in the
galaxy.
This place looks deserted.
I don't believe it is.
The crops are ready to be
harvested.
Tools are lying about.
No, something's amiss.
Well, there's one thing I
learned where I grew up.
If you want to know what
a farmer's up to,
look in their barn.
Beep!
This is an odd ship for
farmers.
Perhaps someone's here to pick
up the sillim.
I still don't get it.
Where is everyone?
Mystery solved.
They're terrified.
It's okay.
We won't hurt you.
Kindly drop your weapons,
jedi.
Take it easy, snips.
We don't want any trouble.
It's not always about the
numbers.
Four on one is hardly a fair
fight, even for a jedi.
Wait a minute, four on one?
You mean four on two.
We don't count you,
knee-high.
Stop! Don't harm them!
Can't you see these are jedi?
We are saved!
Saved?
Need I remind you, casiss,
you already made a deal with us?
But with the jedi's help--
excuse me, but help you
with what?
Pirates.
Simply stated, if we don't give
the pirates a portion of our
crop, they will destroy our
homes, with us in them.
Hmm, I see your dilemma.
Sillim farming is a meager
trade.
Without our herbs to sell,
we will have no money for food,
fuel or equipment.
And yet you can afford to pay
mercenaries?
These bounty hunters drive
a far more reasonable bargain
than the pirates.
Why not just fight them
yourselves?
Easy for you, perhaps.
But look at us.
Even with the bounty hunters'
help, I had feared the worst.
But now, that there are
seven of you!
What do you want, jedi?
We need a ship.
Ours is beyond repair,
I'm afraid.
The one in the barn,
that'll do.
That's our ride.
It doesn't go anywhere without
us, and right now, we're busy.
Busy extorting farmers?
I don't hear you offering to
help.
Unfortunately, we couldn't
help even if we wanted to.
What?
Master, these farmers are in
trouble.
Why can't we help them?
Believe me, ahsoka, I would
like nothing more.
However, we need to report
that the medical station
has been destroyed.
If we stay too long, the
separatists will show up looking
for us here.
But--
better they get robbed by
pirates than attract the
interest of general grievous and
his horde.
Pirates!
Pirates! Pirates!
The pirates are back!
That's far enough.
I speak for the people of this
village.
State your name and business.
My name is my own business.
And my business is taking
what's ours.
There is nothing here that's
yours, unless you're here to buy
it.
Buy it?
Kenobi, Skywalker, I can't
believe you came all this way to
see me.
Hondo...
You know each other?
Of course we do!
Tell them how far back we go,
Kenobi.
Too far, I'm afraid.
Ha ha!
And here I thought we were
friends.
If you're truly interested in
friendship, hondo, might I
suggest you stop threatening
these farmers?
Threatening them?
Oh, please tell me you have not
been listening to this
bounty-hunting scum.
Scum?
We're just here to help them
protect what's theirs.
Oh, come, come, my dear.
How much are they paying you?
Bup, bup, bup.
Does not matter.
Whatever it is, I will double
it, and all you have to do to
earn it is step aside.
We don't break deals.
Steady, everyone.
What is your stake, anyway,
Kenobi?
All we want is a ride to the
nearest Republic outpost, and
i'm willing to pay you
handsomely for it, twice what
you could make selling this
crop.
Well, now, how do you plan
to pay me?
A funds transfer when we
arrive.
Republic credit?
We've been over this before,
Kenobi.
My associates don't accept
that currency.
I'm offering a deal that
benefits us all, hondo.
Don't let your greed blind you
to that fact.
You know, I like you, Kenobi,
but, um, no one leaves this
planet until I get my sillim.
Then I hope you enjoy it
here, because you'll be staying
a long time, parasite.
You know, this crop has not
been harvested.
You better hurry, old man,
before things start to die
on you.
When the attack comes,
it will come from two fronts,
the forest to the South and the
ridge to the north.
Whatever you do, you must defend
both sides.
But there are only four of
them.
Defend against so many?
The farmers are right.
These bounty hunters don't stand
a chance.
We've been over this, Anakin.
You seem to lack confidence
in our abilities, young jedi.
I'm sure you're good at what
you do, but you are in
way too deep.
Said the peacekeeper
who fails to keep the peace.
The rift in the galaxy is not
our fault.
If more worlds would stand up
for themselves against the
separatists, this war would have
been over long ago.
That's it!
We'll just train the villagers
to defend themselves.
But we are just simple
farmers.
Why are we paying bounty hunters
to defend us if we are just
going to end up doing it
ourselves?
Hush, dilanni.
Trust me.
We'll have you ready.
Put it in the barn,
every bushel.
All right, everyone, form up.
Um...
Divide into rows of five.
I told you, we are not
soldiers.
We don't even have weapons.
May I?
Yep, these will do.
What happens if you need the
barn as a fallback position?
With all the sillim here, it'll
be difficult to squeeze the
farmers in.
There's room.
I worry that you care more
for the safety of the sillim
than you do for the safety of
the villagers.
You think I'm only worried
about my profit, is that it?
The thought had crossed my
mind.
So in your mind, I'm just
like any other pirate.
Am I wrong?
Easier to protect the villagers
and the sillim if they're both
in the same place.
Then might I suggest--
you might suggest anything
you like, general Kenobi, but I
know what I'm doing, and I will
keep these people safe my way.
Seripas! It's too heavy!
Seripas?
Don't look!
I'm having a suit malfunction.
Not very intimidating, am I?
You don't have to look tough
to be tough.
I thank you for your help.
The bounty hunter is right.
Every minute you waste teaching
us to twirl these stupid poles
is time you could have spent
beating those pirates yourself.
And what good would that do
you?
Another band of brigands would
inevitably come along, or do you
intend to give away part of your
crop every harvest season?
If you make us do this, there
won't be another harvest season.
All right, everyone,
get back in position.
Let's continue.
Well, what have we here?
Getting ready for a fight,
are we?
There, a scout!
Embo.
Quick work.
Yes, but when this scout
fails to report to hondo,
he'll be coming...Soon.
The scout has not checked in
from the village.
He's long overdue.
Well, well, well.
So it looks like the jedi are
or at least we now know
we can't take these villagers
for granted, but you know what I
always say, speak softly and
the farmers are in position.
Well, the ones who stuck around,
anyway.
Very well, Anakin.
Turn on the fence.
Battle positions, everyone.
Embo!
Embo, can you hear me?
You'll be all right.
We'll get you inside.
Everyone, fall back to the
barn!
That tank is going to tear
the villagers apart.
Get him inside.
We'll hold them off
as long as we can.
Die, jedi scum!
No!
Sugi, watch your flank!
Get off. Get off me.
Your situation is hopeless,
Skywalker.
Welcome back, dilanni. Are you alright?
Fine.
The Captain!
Let's go!
The day is won!
Help me!
Skywalker, let me call off
my men.
This effort is no longer
profitable!
There are crops to harvest,
Fields to till, huts to rebuild.
Now let's get to work.
How can I ever thank you for
saving our village?
We didn't save your village,
casiss.
Your people did.
For the first time in my
memory, my people don't have to
be afraid.
We will never forget you.
I seem to find myself light
on company.
Still need that ride back to the
Republic outpost?
If it wouldn't be any
inconvenience.
On the contrary.
It would be my pleasure.
