The three Vulture droids were destroyed during the Republic mission; Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano mounted one in a station's hangar, causing a second to fire upon it before Tano mounted the second and decapitated it. The third was destroyed when a fuel canister was thrown by Tano's Jedi Master, Anakin Skywalker, with the Force and Clone Captain Rex firing on it, exploding and eliminating the remaining Separatist forces.
