Flying to the planet of Mandalore on his own, Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi landed the Twilight
on one of the planet’s docks. Knocking out a Super Commando, Obi-Wan took a speeder to
the cell of Duchess Satine. Despite their best efforts for the escape to go unnoticed,
Obi-Wan and Satine are chased by Maul’s commandos. Managing to make it back to the
Twilight, they try to fly away, but the firepower of the Commandos causes the ship to explode,
and leaves Obi-Wan and Satine dangling, and useless. Dropping out of the wreckage, Obi-Wan
and Satine are captured by Maul and Savage Opress, and taken to the throne room. Obi-Wan
refuses to give into his anger as Maul choked Satine, and the Zabrak impaled the Duchess
with his darksaber. But what if Satine had somehow survived? How would this affect the
occupation of Mandalore? Would Obi-Wan leave the Order for Satine? As you are about to
see, Satine’s survival will impact the fate of an entire galaxy…
Obi-Wan could look on hopelessly, as Satine was lifted into the air and force choked by
Maul. The Jedi Council member refused to give in to his anger, but Satine’s death looked
inevitable. Suddenly, there was an explosion just outside of the throne room, causing the
glass to shatter, and the room’s occupants to duck for cover. Maul was forced to release
his grip on Satine, and Obi-Wan reacted the best, pulling Satine to his arms and leaping
out of the window. Bo Katan and the Death Watch help with Satine’s escape, and distract
Maul and Savage for long enough to allow their path to Coruscant. With Mandalore lost for
now, Satine stays on Coruscant with Senator Amidala, until Bo Katan can mount another
attack. Inevitably, Padme and Anakin reveal their secret marriage to Obi-Wan and Satine,
but Obi-Wan refuses to leave his duties of the Jedi at that moment. Following the bombing
of the Jedi Temple, this changes. Satine cannot stand for the Jedi Council and the Republic’s
treatment of Ahsoka, and she pushes Obi-Wan to block her expulsion from the Order. Obi-Wan
can only be one voice amongst many, and his best efforts cannot stop Ahsoka being expelled.
Agreeing with Satine, Barriss’ confession does not change his mind, and along with Ahsoka,
then subsequently Anakin, leaves the Order. Watching the three Jedi leave the Chamber,
Yoda watches with sadness in his eyes, and knows the Order have been making mistakes.
Holding a Council meeting, they all try to meditate to find answers, but the absence
of Obi-Wan looms over them. For now, they can do nothing but allow the Force to guide
their path. Outside of the Temple, Padme, Satine, Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ahsoka walked
back to Padme’s apartment, when Satine received a transmission from Bo Katan. With Maul being
humbled by the mysterious Sidious, now was the time to strike back. All of them go to
the Jedi Temple hangar to take their ships, but to their surprise, the 212th Battalion,
and the 501st Legion are waiting for them. They had become so attached to the Generals,
that their Republic ties had been slightly severed. Boarding Obi-Wan’s Venator class
star destroyer, they all make it to Mandalore, and use the element of surprise to their advantage.
The members of Bo Katan’s Death Watch utilise their jetpacks to descend to the central city
of Sundari, whereas the clone troopers and Jedi uses their Low Altitude Assault Transports.
Their firepower is a complete surprise to Maul’s group of commandos, and they are
soon overwhelmed. The Jedi walk into the throne room and see Maul sitting upon his throne.
The Zabrak is visibly angry at Obi-Wan, but still shaken from Sidious, he is no condition
for a duel with 3 former Jedi. Maul uses the corpses of two of his upper commandos to cause
a distraction, but Anakin sees through this plan and blocks his path. Clashing blades
with the Jedi knight, Anakin pushes Maul back with his ferocious power. From the side of
Maul, Obi-Wan finds a weakness and comfortably disarms him with a precise strike. Anakin
and Ahsoka lifted Maul into the air, and the leader of Mandalore promised them information
that could help the Jedi against the Sith. Releasing their grip, several clone troopers
tie him up, before Bo Katan, much to Satine’s disgust, traps Maul in a Mandalorian cage.
Leaving Satine and Bo Katan to re-establish Mandalore, the former Jedi and Padme fly back
with Maul to Coruscant. Presenting him in front of the Council, Windu initially tries
to block their path to the Council Chamber, but Yoda allows them in. Maul is freed from
his cage and the Jedi’s persuasion does not work, so they began to torture him. Maul’s
eyes start to dilate from the pressure exerted, and he manages to reveal that the Republic
was under the control of the Sith, mirroring what Dooku had told Obi-Wan on Geonosis. Releasing
the torture on Maul, they fail to extract any other relevant pieces of information,
and lock him back to his cage, to be sent to the Republic’s military prison. With
Maul gone, Windu ushers Obi-Wan, Anakin and Ahsoka out of the room, and they go to Padme’s
apartment. The group discuss Maul’s clue and starting from the top, all except Anakin
are willing to suspect Chancellor Palpatine. Just the Anakin received a transmission from
Palpatine, and it was time to prove where his loyalties lay.
