As the fight for control for Control of the Galaxy raged on
and the Clone Wars became more intense, the Separatists Began to develop a variety of
new Battle Droid types which they hoped would surprise their enemy, and give them a massive
advantage on the battlefield. One of these was the highly secretive, and an incredibly effective
Separatist Steal battle droid which had the ability to hide in a variety of locations,
including underwater, where it would stalk its victim before popping at at the final moment to
kill him. So, let's find out how Obi-Wan fared against these crazy battle droids.
Before we get into it, make sure you’re subscribed for more awesome Star Wars Lore content.
The story begins on the very important Outer Rim Republic world of Bandomeer,
which is proving to be crucial in the Grand army’s fight against the separatists.
On Bandomeer, the Jedi rejects who were never good enough to be picked up by a Master
were sent here to live their lives as farmers, to provide food for the very hungry Clone Army.
Obi-Wan is performing an inspection of the facilities in the area, and
is being given a tour by someone who looks suspiciously like his long lost brother.
The commander of the Jedi farming bass then asks Obi-Wan how it feels coming back to his old base…
Obi-Wan tells the commander that it feels very odd and that he was
originally posted here as part of the Jedi Agricorps when he was a Jedi youngling,
because none of the Jedi masters were interested in taking him on as a Padawan.
That was until a man named qui-Gon Jin came along and noticed Obi-Wan's potential in the force,
choosing to adopt him as a Padawan, and thankfully saving him from a life of farming with the other
failed Jedi. On this very world, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon fought side by side against Trade
Federation Battle droids, assuring Qui-Gon Jinn that Obi-Wan was the right choice for his Padawan.
The farming commander then tells Obi-Wan that his control of the Force was always far stronger than
the other Jedi who were stationed here as farmers, so it’s no surprise he was eventually stolen away,
but tells Obi-Wan that the farmers here can use the force to assist them in their farming.
Following this, he also explains that the planet-wide farms on Bandomeer provide a
crucial service to the Republic, and without them, the Clone Troopers across the Galaxy would
Starve to death from lack of Rations. Obi-Wan is humbled to hear this and tells the commander that
everyone plays their part in war, even those who don't think they are having an impact.
Meanwhile in contested space, around one Parsec away from Bandomeer,
General Grievous is meeting with Count Dooku to discuss his new stealth battle
droid program. As Grievous’ prototype stealth battle droids menacingly march alongside the two,
Dooku immediately tells Grievous that Darth Sidious has invested an awful lot into this
stealth droid program, and that operating so close to Bandomeer puts a big risk on everyone involved.
Grievous however doesn’t take this criticism kindly, instead believing that Dooku’s lack of
faith is simply a poor disguise for his jealousy, assuring Dooku that his new Stealth droids will
perform just as he promised. ON top of that he assures Dooku that by this time tomorrow,
the farms of Bandomeer will be burned to a thick ash.
As he says this, a cluster of pods are dropped from the ship,
before they glide into Bandomeer’s atmosphere, and splash down in it’s ocean. After the pods
successfully float back up the surface, the Steal droids inside pop out of their shells,
ready to wreak havoc on the Republic farming facilities.
Very soon after this, the droids activate their primary steal mode,
before lurking just above the water, ready to strike.
These battle droids are highly advanced and know exactly what their targets are.
Meanwhile, back at the farm, Obi-Wan is enjoying lunch with the Jedi he used to be stationed with
on this farming world all those years back, and is shocked at how good the food is,
having forgotten the taste of genuinely fresh food after being stuck in space for so long.
The commander then responds to Obi-Wan by telling him that he tended to the plants
himself, and that based on their age it is very possible that Obi-Wan himself planted the seeds
that they created the food they’re eating, all the way back when he belonged to the agri crops.
Unfortunately, their very friendly conversation comes to an abrupt end only moments later when
The Clone Captain of the 212th bashes down the door and warns Obi-Wan and the Farming commander
that they must come quickly, as an attack on the western perimeter has been detected.
As soon as the two Jedi hear this, they leap out of their seats and run outside to inspect the
attack force, and Obi-Wan is angry that stuff like that always happens just as he sits down to eat.
As usual, make sure to let me know what you think the name of the 212ths captain should be. Since
this is a pretty high ranking member, let's make it something clean and simple, like Cody’s name.
Some time later, after the Steath droids lurked deep in the water waiting to attack,
they eventually come up to the shore, and begin tearing through Clone Troopers of the 212th,
even terrifying the Jedi farmers, leading them to hide in the bushes. The Captain and his men
report that these droids move so quickly that they can’t even get a single hit off on them.
As the Stealth droids fire their heavy duty cannons, obi-wan asks the Captain
of the 212th what the situation is, to which he doesn’t get the response he’s looking for.
Unfortunately, the situation is pretty dire. The new Stealth droids literally appeared
out of thin air and are completely tearing the 212th troopers apart.
After hearing the tragic and saddened tone of his Clone Captain, Obi-Wan leaps into action,
vowing to send these new stealth drones back to the scrap heap, no matter what.
Unfortunately though, it’s not going to be as easy as Kenobi would have hoped.
As soon as Obi-Wan leaps and swings his blade at the monstrous battle droid,
the lightsaber is instantly slapped away and his body is pushed the ground with tremendous force.
He is absolutely stunned and confused at this, wondering how a droid can possibly move so fast.
He calls out to his captain in a daze, wondering if he saw it… but the captain, and the rest of
the troopers are far too busy fighting off these stealth droids to even spare a moment.
Following this, Obi-Wan is again belted right on the shoulder, putting him in massive pain, but for
the sake of both his men and the Republic farming facilities, he gets up and continues fighting.
As he rejoins the fight alongside his Clone Troopers, Obi-Wan remains confused, saying
“three of them! Yet the evaded my Jedi senses and seem to appear out of nowhere…
Obi-Wan wonders how this can be possible, asking “What in the name of the force is going on”...
Just as he says this, The 212th’s captain comes running over to him asking “General,
we’re getting reports from all over. The other farms are under attack and suffering heavy losses.
“The soldiers barely batch sight of the enemy for it disappears.
Out people are dying and there’s nothing we can do”...
Obi-Wan tells his captain that there’s always something they can do…
but they just have to know where to look.
After telling hics captain this, Obi-Wan dives deeply into the force, using it to guide his mind
around the planet, painting a picture of all the life forms that blanket this lush planet.
The force then finally shows him the droids he’s looking for. He can see
the dead shadow of the Stealth drones in the middle all the vibrant life from the farms.
Using this knowledge and his now enhanced connection to the force,
Obi-Wan is able to defeat the stealth droids and declare that their exotic technology
can’t hide them from a Jedi Knight, before he once again leaps into the air
and finally manages to eliminate these very advanced droids.
After Obi-Wan realizes how he can tap into the force to find the location of the stealth droids,
he immediately Orders his captain radio over to the other Clones,
and tells them that the Jedi farmers will see the droids if they tap into the force.
And Heartwarmingly, this plan begins to work and the Jedi farmers who are widely regarded as
useless, jedi rejects and failures by the rest of the order, finally begin to have a true purpose.
They are finally given the chance to fight alongside Clone Troopers, just like all of the
normal Jedi who remained at the temple and became Jedi Knights. Truly an awesome thing to see.
Later that day, the Commander of the farm tells Obi-Wan that the attackers are nothing but scrap
metal now. On top of that, the blockade above the skies of the planet have been strengthened,
so that something like this can never happen again,
and the food supply for the Clone Army will not run dry any time in the near future.
And to end the story, the Farm Commander, who again looks suspiciously similar to Obi-Wan
tells Kenobi that using the force to see beyond normal sight is the sign of a true Jedi Master.
Obi-Wan then tells him in response that life is all
around. It’s the role of the force to ensure that it continues to flourish.
So those were the crazy separatist stealth droids that almost destroyed the Republic’s supply of
food for the rest of the war Thanks so much for watching,
really hope you enjoyed the video. Cheers guys, hope to see you in the next one!
