Chapter 2 marks the second installment of the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated series. It is also the second episode featured within both Season One and Volume One. Genndy Tartakovsky both wrote and directed this episode, which originally broadcast on Cartoon Network on November 10, 2003.
Obi-Wan Kenobi, aboard an Acclamator-class assault ship, briefs his team of ARC troopers on their objective: swiftly securing the headquarters of the InterGalactic Banking Clan to bring a quick resolution to the ongoing conflict.
Subsequently, Kenobi seeks out Anakin Skywalker, who is occupied with modifications to his starfighter. Skywalker voices his frustration that his abilities are not sufficiently recognized by his fellow Jedi. Kenobi counters by stating that his skills are not in question, but his obedience and recognition of his place are. Before departing and leaving Skywalker with his ship, Kenobi offers a brief "May the Force be with you."
As the Republic fleet emerges from hyperspace above Muunilinst, they are immediately engaged by orbital defense platforms and swarms of Geonosian starfighters, thus signaling the commencement of the Battle of Muunilinst.
Skywalker spearheads the V-19 fighter squadron against the Separatists, while simultaneously, numerous gunships transport Kenobi and his troops to the planet's surface. Kenobi orders the ARC gunship to divert towards the Banking Clan's headquarters. However, before reaching its destination, it is downed by a battle droid, leaving the ARC troopers stranded in an unfamiliar section of the city of Harnaidan.
