Chapter 14 is the fourteenth installment of the animated television program Star Wars: Clone Wars. It is also the fourth episode of Season Two, and the fourteenth episode within Volume One. Genndy Tartakovsky directed this episode, which was originally broadcast on Cartoon Network on March 31, 2004.
On the frozen world of Ilum, within a hallowed Jedi location, Jedi Master Luminara Unduli is overseeing the ceremonial construction of a lightsaber by her Padawan, Barriss Offee. Barriss uses crystals extracted from the cave to finalize her lightsaber, securing the now-complete weapon.
While Offee is in the process of building her lightsaber, Unduli delivers a traditional chant, which she instructs her apprentice to always remember:
Unduli concludes by saying, "The crystal, the blade, the Jedi: all are connected. You are one," and then she congratulates her Padawan on finishing her training. However, Offee's joy is short-lived, as Luminara uses the Force to sense that something is wrong. Separatist chameleon droids that are camouflaged have made their way into the cave, with the intention of destroying a site that is vital to the Jedi's war efforts.
Although the Jedi succeed in preventing the droids from accessing the crystal-filled section of the cave, their actions cause a cave-in, trapping them inside. Fortunately, help is close by—Yoda, who is near Ilum aboard the royal yacht belonging to Padmé Amidala, senses their plight through the Force and declares that they must travel to Ilum to rescue the Jedi.
