Legend

this was one of the many early battles of the Clone Wars, in which the forces of the Confederacy of Independent Systems used a new form of weapon against the Jedi Knights and the Army of the Republic. During this battle, Mace Windu found himself separated from the rest of his team, in a vast grainfield. In addition to an army of battle droids, Master Windu had to fight his way through the first of the Separatists' seismic tanks. Only Master Windu's incredible skills with a lightsaber allowed him to penetrate the ranks of battle droids in order to reach the seismic tank. Then, Windu relied oni his ingenuity to defeat the tank and eliminate the Separatist threat on Dantooine. Much of the battle was witnessed by a young boy, Paxi Sylo, who documented the events in a series of holovids that many believed were highly exaggerated.
