The Senate War Rally, intended to bolster support for the conflict, took place during the Clone Wars. The Galactic Senate of the Republic, under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, organized this event.
Anakin Skywalker visited Palpatine's Statue Garden a few hours prior to the rally to tell the Supreme Chancellor that he couldn't attend, due to his and a Jedi team's assignment to locate the Sith Lord known as Darth Maul.
