shot description preview
01 Gunships rise from arena and fly towards canyons and plains to the SW. Several Acclamators in the air also face SW.
02 Six evacuation gunships fly over canyon south of the arena. One Acclamator is on the ground facing south, disgorging walkers and troops. Another Acclamator is in the air west of the arena. Smoke blows eastwards from the mouth of the arena.
03 Inside the hold of Yoda's gunship. Vertical rock surface is off the staboard side.
04 Six evacuation gunships heading south are fired upon from the ground. They turn to starboard, round a Geonosian tower on a promontory and head out across a floodplain with 1 TFcs and at least 6 TUs. One Acclamator near the promontory is disgorging walkers and troops near a dry riverbed.
05 Interior of Kenobi's gunship. Some rocky features are glimpsed passing on the starboard side.
06 At least three of the evacuation gunships fly low towards the groups of TUs. One TUs lauches. One TFcs is in the background. Blaster fire is exchanged between the gunships, droids on the ground and clones on the ground.
07 Interior of Kenobi's gunship. Skywalker orders a targeting "right above the fuel cells."
08 LAAT/i fly with a cliff on the starboard side, towards the TUs. There is a hill on the plateau above the cliffs.

12 Opposing forces assemble on different sides of a vast plain. Two Acclamators are in he camera view, several LAAT/i, Jedi lead columns of clones. On the separatist side there are Trade Federation and Techno Union starships, several kilometres behind an advancing mass of battle droids and "spider" droids. A smoke pillar already arises from behind the Separatist lines.
13 Separatist leaders observe a realtime holographic display of an area of one battle front. On one side there are three Techno Union starships plus numerous battle droids and "hailfire" hoop-wheeled droids. On the other side there are two SPHA-T artillery pieces, several AT-TE walkers and numerous clone soldiers.
14 Evacuation gunships pass over hilly landscape near Geonosian towers. An unseen enemy shoots at them.
