PART 4: STAR WARS: CLONE WARS

SEASON 1 EPISODE 4: DESTROYING MALEVOLANCE 

The screen lights up once more. The starry space is revealed behind the large yellow words: STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS.

"This is so cool," Luke mumbles with a wide awe-filled smile and wide eyes as he stares at the screen transfixed.

Next to him, Leia sits impatiently with crossed arms and a frown. She doesn't want to be here, she doesn't see the point of her being involved in this wack-job mess. She just wants to go home.

"Cheer up, princess." Han smirks arrogantly, spotting her foul mood.

Leia scoffs, "Fuck off." She glares at him.

"Ouch." Han hisses with a smile as beside him Chewie releases a loud bellowing laugh.

Leia rolls her eyes at the two and huffs, choosing to ignore their existence. She already can't wait for this to be over so she can go home in peace. Well, not in peace considering the state of the galaxy but you know what she means.

A large broken droid down ship is revealed with clouds of smoke ascending into space. "Grievous in retreat!" A male voice narrates.

Behind the droid ship are three Republic cruisers pursuing the wrecked vessel.

"Before the battleship Malevolence could destroy an Outer Rim clone medical base," The hulking frame of General Grievous is revealed as he stares out a window watching as the medical base is attacked. Five Republic fighters defend the base valiantly. A droid flips a switch and outside, a large energy orb charges at the sides of the battleship.

"...A Republic strike force under the command of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker..."

Luke's eyes widen when he hears the last name. Skywalker... Could it be?

The Republic Fighters fly past the battleship dodging the red plasma bolts shot at them from the gargantuan ship. Then, a close-up of Anakin follows as he expertly pilots the ship with his bold blue eyes narrowed in determination.

Luke awkwardly glances over his shoulder at the man the screen is referencing. Now that he's looking at him properly, he does notice they share some features. The chin, for instance, Anakin has a small cleft on his chin similar to Luke; and the shape of his nose, they match. Both their eyes are blue but Anakin's looks darker. Stars, they even share the same last name. Hope blossoms in his chest. He knows he's in the past so it's possible the man he's looking at now is the younger version of his father. But... Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru said that his father was a simple navigator on a spice freighter. Could he have been lying? Could Anakin be his father?

Anakin turns his eyes to where he can feel a stare piercing the side of his face and his eyes meet Luke's. His brows furrowed and his eyes narrowed as he stared back wondering why the boy was looking at him like that.

Luke, embarrassed to be caught, quickly shuffles back into his seat as a small flush stains his tan skin.

Anakin's thumb presses down a red button and torpedo's launch into the battleship. "...Crippled the warship, disabling its dreaded ion cannon." The cannon explodes and the warship trembles at the force of the explosion.

Inside the medical facility, a Kaminoan doctor dressed in white stands beside a clone dressed in white. They watch through the window as the evil warship's cannons explode.
