Plot summary

The year is 20 BBY. A battle rages on a lunar surface under siege by the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. Amidst the chaos, a voice cries out, urging action instead of retreat.

However, Grand Master Yoda of the Jedi Order counters, acknowledging their bravery but emphasizing the peril of remaining. He instructs the group, which includes Franna and Thernbee, to seek an alternate route. Spotting a formation of battle droids, the diminutive Jedi master directs them to circumvent the threat. One of the civilians inquires about the distance to the transport, just as more battle droids appear.

Yoda instructs the civilians to flee, urging them to prioritize their own safety. The droids then notice the Jedi Master, prompting him to flee.

The droids command Yoda to stop as he continues his escape, leading them away from the civilians. Reacquiring their target, they unleash a barrage of blaster fire.

As Yoda sprints onward, he finds himself surrounded by droids on all sides.

He then ignites his lightsaber, launching into an attack, and by drawing the droids together, they inadvertently begin firing upon each other.

The transport prepares for departure, and Yoda leaps aboard. The Clone trooper captain questions the decision to return for a handful of survivors, to which Yoda responds that it was because it was their home.
