As the intense battle of Aridka raged on in the early days of the Clone Wars, the Republic
forces on the planet were quickly degraded down until only 9 brave men remained, stationed
in a very tight trench, protected by only a single energy shield which was very quickly
weakens.
So, I’m going to breakdown how their heroic Jedi General jumped out of a Republic gunship
to save their lives.
So before we get into it, make sure you’re subscribed with the bell button on to be notified
as soon as I release more awesome Star Wars lore content!
The story begins on the mid rim planet of Aridka, where one red trimmed ARC Trooper
Commander is stationed along with a Blue trimmed ARC and the rest of his men.
The red trimmed commander looks over the top of the narrow trench with his electro-binoculars
and reports to his brothers that the separatists have overtaken the border post, wondering
where their reinforcements could be.
In response, the Blue ARC trooper tells his commander that he sent the call out for reinforcements
not long ago, but unfortunately the magnetic storm in the area cut the transmission to
pieces, meaning that they will be stuck in the trench without any backup.
Blue ARC does however prepare to activate their tiny defence shield, but warns his fellow
men that the shield won’t take much damage at all, and will soon degrade to nothing.
Following this, one of the other clone Troopers walks up to his commander and asks him if
they should fall back behind the city walls for extra protection against the impending
separatiast advance, but before he can even finish his point, his commander cuts him off
and firmly tells him “No-- We make our stand here.
We can’t let the separatists take the city, before demanding that the group put out another
support call, and to mark it urgent.
The commander also demands to know how much longer they have before the shield completely
collapses and exposes them to the separatist forces, and is told that they don’t have
long at all.
Despite being issued with an incredibly strong energy field from Republic commond, the sheer
amount of blaster fire coming from every direction, from the droid forces is simply going to be
too much.
On top of that, the shield is also absorbing the enormous blasts coming directly from the
droid tanks, making it even weaker as time goes on.
And as usual, let me know down below what you think what Red Trimmed ARC Commander and
Blue Trimmed ARC trooper should be called, since we unfortunately are never given a name
for these two awesome troopers.
After this, the massive hoarder of Separatist B-1 battle droids, flanked by hover tanks
begin to march towards the Clone’s Trench, putting them only moments away from a horrible
end.
These brave Clone Troopers are willing to give their lives to protect the sacred temple
city which is towering behind them.
Moments later, one of the separatist tanks fires a massive, high energy bolt of energy
directly towards, the shield, causing the Red ARC commander to warn his men frantically
to brace for impact.
As the devastating bolt hits the shield, it completely shatters, exposing the Clone Troopers
to the full brunt of the droid forces.
Soon after, one of the troopers lobs a grenade towards the B-1 Battle droids, but Red ARc
warns his men to not even wait for the smoke to clear, but instead to send the filthy clankahs
to the trash compactors.
These brave men are now in their most desperate moment.
At this point, they believe that no one is coming to rescue them, and that their only
way to escape from the savage horde of droid forces is to run straight into them and pray
to the gods of Kamino.
Let me know down below right now would you prefer to go out rushing towards the enemy
in a blaze of glory, or would you prefer to hide in the trench and hold on, hoping that
some good luck will come your way.
The brave Clone Troopers fire a flurry of blaster bolts towards the battle droid forces,
fighting valiantly and knowing that any moment now they will be completely overwhelmed by
the sheer number of droids marching towards them.
Despite knowing that their death is about to come, the thought of giving up never even
enters the minds of these Clone Troopers as they know their duty.
One by one, the Clone troopers in the trench are slowly being picked off by thermal detonators
coming from the droid forces, and precise blaster bolts to the chest.
Fear of course rushes through the minds of these brave men, but they have been trained
since their birth on Kamino to give their lives for the Republic, and carry out any
order given to them, no matter what the risk is to their life.
One Clone Trooper even pulls a dead B-1 battle droid up, using him as a shield to block the
incoming blaster fire as he leaps out of the trench.
Soon after, as athe battle droid forces simply become too much, one Clone Trooper calls out
to his commander and frantically say “we’re in trouble”.
The B-1 Battle droid forces then demand that the Clones surrender, but before they can
press the issue andy further, a single, lone republic gunship zooms through the air above
them, before instantly being shot down, and torn to shreds in mid air.
Every clone on board the gunship will unfortunately meet their end once the gunship crashes into
the surface, but the troopers in the trench quickly notice a mysterious figure falling
from the flaming gunship.
As the mysterious figure hits the ground, the Clone troopers are left in shock, seeing
the heads of B-1 battle droids flying all over the place, with arms, and legs soon following.
The clones are even more confused as bright flashes of light are absolutely tearing the
droids in front of them to pieces.
It is of course, General Plo Koon.
Red ARC commander is of course relieved to see Master Plo arrive at the trench, and tells
him that his men have held out as long as they could, but their requests for reinforcements
were cut off.
Plo Koon then responds to red arc, but strangely he responds in his native Kel Dorian language.
Red arc is of course left shocked by this and says “Sir, I don’t under-stand”.
Plo Koon then continues speaking in Kel Dorian, but this time points at one of the separatist
hover tanks, ensuring that Red arc gets the message.
He then immediately fires his grappling gun towards the tank, providing a path for Plo
Koon to balance himself on, while dodging and weaving around the barrage of blaster
bolts, and eventually slicing a massive cut into the tank.
Plo then circles the entire tank with his lightsaber plunged deep into it, ensuring
that it goes up a huge burst of smoke and fire.
Plo koon then hops from tank to tank, doing the same, and each time killing a large of
B-1 battle droids along with the tank.
Eventually, Plo Koon gets *just a bit* too close to the Clone’s trench, leading them
to have to jump to cover.
Following this however, Plo Continues slicing, dicing and chopping through every single droid
tank he sees, lighting up the sky with an intense wave of light as thousands of B-1
battle droids are destroyed.
Soon after, Red Commander and his men move out of the trench to greet their general and
thank him for his heroic actions.
For some strange reason, Plo Koon again decides to speak in his native Kel Dorian language
to the Clones, but because these men have served with Master Plo for so long they are
able to work out a small amount of what he said.
One of the regs in the group asks Red Commander “What did he say, sir?
To which the Red Commander is only able to workout a small amount, but relays that General
Plo Koon said “One battle, one Jedi”.
Red Commander has no idea what it means, but can’t argue with it as his general just
saved him and his men from certain death at the hands of the droid army.
The reg is of course very confused at this, but Plo Koon simply leaves them with that
one final message, before jumping into a nearby cavern for some unknown reason.
I’m sure he’s on his way to rescue another group of Clones somewhere on the planet, or
maybe even some of the locals.
But let me know down below
why you think Plo Koon chose to speak to his men in his native language, leaving them confused
at exactly what he said.
Maybe he trusts so greatly in his Clone troopers that he doesn’t even have to use words they
understand to convey his message and still achieve the objective.
So that is the Jedi who jumped out of a Republic Gunship to save his men, Plo Koon.
