The cruiser flies towards the main battlefront. Anakin watches from above as clones march from the massive Republic Battleship. More clones are positioned on the ground. Another clone is guiding the cruisers to land.
"Thanks for the ride, Rex." Anakin thanks the clone as he and Ahsoka depart from the ship.
"Anytime, sir." Rex nods.
"Master Obi-Wan. Master Yoda." Anakin greets politely.
Yoda hums as he turns to the young duo, "Trouble, you have, with your new Padawan, I hear."
Ahsoka meets Anakin's eyes.
"I was explaining the situation to Master Yoda." Obi-Wan explains.
"Really?" Anakin hums.
"If not ready for a Padawan, you are, then perhaps, Obi-Wan can—" Yoda starts but Anakin interrupts.
"Now, wait a minute. I admit Ahsoka is a little rough around the edges. But with a great deal of training, and patience, she might amount to something."
Ahoska smiles.
"Then go with you she will, to the Teth system."
"Teth? That's wild space. The droid army isn't even in that sector."
"Kidnapped, Jabba the Hutt's son has been."
"You want me to rescue Jabba's son?" Anakin asks, unsure if he's hearing correctly. Yoda wants to send him of all people, with his history with the Hutt's... clearly they aren't thinking clearly. Why him, of all people?
"Anakin, we'll need the Hutt's allegiance to give us an advantage over Dooku." Obi-Wan informs the heated boy.
"Hmm, negotiate a treaty with Jabba, Obi-Wan will. Find the renegades that hold Jabba's son, your mission will be, Skywalker." Yoda orders.
"Come on, Master, it doesn't sound that hard." Ahsoka encourages. "I'll find Rex and get the troops organised." She runs off and Anakin watches after her.
"Don't worry, Anakin. Just teach her everything I taught you and she'll turn out fine." Obi-Wan suggests.
Anakin narrows his eyes at his old Master, "You know, something makes me think this was your idea from the start." He walks to Ahsoka and the clones.
"Let's just hope Anakin is ready for this responsibility." Obi-Wan turns to Yoda, his arms crossed over his chest.
"Ready, he is, to teach an apprentice. To let go of his pupil, a greater challenge will be. Master this, Skywalker must." Yoda replies.
They watch as the cruiser holding the young Jedi duo flies away.
Obi-Wan turns once more to Yoda, "If I've got to make a deal with Jabba the Hutt, I'd best be on my way."
Obi-Wan walks towards his starhip. Arfour is already seated in the ship. The small droid beeps as Obi-Wan sits in the red ship and the glass cover descends and seals the Jedi inside as the ship rises and flies off.
...
A large building is seen standing on a large hill. Inside, many congregate around a dancing Twi'lek. Others stood around the room, talking, laughing, and gambling. Jabba is seen watching the dancer.
