Season 2 Episode 3

“The first step to correcting a mistake is patience.”

Cad Bane has stolen a Jedi holocron which holds the secret locations of the galaxy’s Force-sensitive children. Bane is tasked by Darth Sidious to kidnap several of the children to train as Sith spies. On one such kidnapping attempt, Bane is captured by Anakin and Ahsoka and brought before Obi-Wan and Mace Windu to have his mind probed. Unable to resist the combined Force powers of the Jedi, Bane agrees to lead Kenobi and Windu to his hidden base while Anakin and Ahsoka venture to Mustafar to save the stolen children from Darth Sidious’ evil plot.

Concept Art and Trivia

The holographic mobile hovering over the Gungan toddler’s crib includes a colo clawfish and a sando aqua monster, two of the massive underwater beasts that plagued Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon’s submarine in Episode I.

Admiral Yularen’s line, “No! Lock them all down, hurry!” is a reference to C-3PO’s line, “No! Shut them all down, hurry!” in A New Hope, when R2-D2 is attempting to shut down the trash compactors aboard the Death Star.

After Bane escapes from the Resolute, Anakin angrily holds his arms behind his back, and walks away, much like Darth Vader does at the end of The Empire Strikes Back after the Millennium Falcon escapes.
