Star Wars: Clone WarsClone troopers lead a rescue mission to Hypori, where only Ki-Adi-Mundi still stands against General Grievous. The reinforcements’ heavy firepower turns the tide of the battle, but despite Ki’s urgings, they are unable to pursue Grievous – the wounded need medical care too badly. Yoda has a vision of Qui-Gon Jinn and a boy Anakin preparing to face a psychological trial. Anakin and Padme continue to hide their marriage, much to Anakin’s frustration. Months later, the war continues, and the Council faces a shortage of Knights to lead the battles. Obi-Wan suggests that Anakin be knighted despite not having faced the formal Jedi trials, arguing that the events of the war have tested him enough. Mace Windu has reservations, but eventually Obi-Wan’s suggestion is accepted. Anakin Skywalker becomes a Jedi Knight.

Star Wars: Clone WarsThe newly-knighted Anakin and Obi-Wan lead the Republic to several victories, but the Clone Wars are still locked in stalemate. Mace and Palpatine send the pair to Nelvaan, a world that may hide Grievous’s base. Once they arrive at the frozen world, their efforts to track Grievous lead them into the path of a stampeding creature. Anakin defeats the creature, but that may not make the planet’s natives happy.

Star Wars: Clone WarsHaving stretched out the Republic’s forces along the Outer Rim, Grievous launces a direct assault against Coruscant that includes a space and ground attack. Saesee Tiin takes charge of the Republic fleet while Mace and Yoda assist the troopers planetside. On Nelvaan, Obi-wan learns that most of the tribe’s male warriors have disappeared. The beast that Anakin killed was the quarry in a rite of passage for the tribe’s new would-be champion. When Obi-Wan realizes that their prophecies refer to a “ghost hand,” he suggests that Anakin attempt to find those responsible for the disappearance – a ritual that may also serve as the very last of Anakin’s Jedi trials, the test of his own psyche.

Chapter 24

  • March 24, 2005

Star Wars: Clone WarsOn Coruscant, the battle rages as the Jedi urge Chancellor Palpatine to retreat to his bunker. The Chancellor seems unconcerned – until General Grievous breaks into his office. On Nelvaan, Anakin finds a series of cave paintings that recount the legend of the “ghost hand” – a warrior who, in the fight against a dark power, was eventually consumed by that power. The paintings inspire a vision that suggests Anakin’s own future. Unnerved, the young Jedi continues his search – and finds members of the Techno-Guild conducting experiments to mutate and mechanize the Nelvaanian warriors.

Star Wars: Clone WarsThe Jedi fight an all out battle to protect Palpatine – but Grievous and his droid bodyguards are too powerful and too numerous. Anakin frees the captured Nelvaanian warriors and exacts vengeance against the Techno-Guild scientists. After their mission is completed, Mace summons them back to Coruscant, as the battle continues . . .

Notes: The events of Clone Wars: Volume II are meant to lead directly into Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Anakin’s knighting, the beginning of the Battle of Coruscant and Palpatine’s kidnapping are also recounted in the prose novel “Labyrinth Of Evil.” Those attempting to reconcile these two accounts are advised to stock up on the headache medication of their choice.
