Premise[]
Padmé Amidala and C-3PO are taken hostage by General Grievous, leaving Anakin and Obi-Wan to save the Senator and complete the destruction of the Malevolence.
Synopsis[]
With the Separatist flagship, the Malevolence, badly damaged from its last battle, the Republic set out to destroy the ship once and for all. While forces were rallied, Padmé Amidala and C-3PO were captured by the CIS while onboard their ship, and were trapped on the Malevolence. Upon finding out about this, Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi rushed to save them before the ship was completely destroyed. While Grievous was not killed on the Malevolence, Senator Amidala is rescued from the ship and Grievous' warship is finally destroyed when Anakin sabotaged its hyperdrive to cause the ship to crash into a moon. The loss hurts Grievous's credibility with Count Dooku, the former ending communications to the count due to the shame of the ship being destroyed.
