First Battle of Geonosis

TheFirst Battle of Geonosis, known most commonly as simply theBattle of Geonosis, was the first battle between theConfederacy of Independent Systems and theGalactic Republic in the conflict that would become known as theClone Wars. It would be the first major combat of theGrand Army of the Republic, as well as the first major battle theJedi would fight in years.

Prelude[]

In22 BBY, theGalactic Republic was in the midst of a crisis. Thousands ofstar systems and conglomerates including theTrade Federation,InterGalactic Banking Clan,Techno Union,Commerce Guild and theCorporate Alliance, had seceded and joined theConfederacy of Independent Systems under the guidance of former-JediCountDooku as terrorist strikes hit thecapitalplanetCoruscant. The RepublicSenate planned to meet that year to discuss theMilitary Creation Act. Three months before the vote, angry showdowns occurred between planets' inhabitants and among the two opposing governments while theRefugee Relief Movement tried to help where possible.^[4]

The day of the vote,SenatorPadmé Amidala ofNaboo arrived on Coruscant to vote against the Act, but faced anassassination attempt. She was then assigned Jedi protectors—Obi-Wan Kenobi and his youthfulPadawan,Anakin Skywalker. Kenobi followed the trail of thetoxic dart whichended the life of theassassin while Skywalker escorted the Senator back to Naboo.^[1]

Kenobi followed the tip from his friendDexter Jettster to the planetKamino, which had been erased from theJedi Archives by forces unknown. There he discovered thatten years earlier,Jedi MasterSifo-Dyas had placed an order for aclone trooperarmy. During the tour, he met thebounty hunterJango Fett. Kenobi reported back to theJedi Council and decided to pursue Fett, suspecting that he was involved in the assassination attempt. They battled on a landing platform, and Kenobi was able to plant ahoming beacon onFett's ship.^[1]

On his way to Geonosis, Dooku encoded a message toGeneralSev'rance Tann telling her he foresaw a great battle was about to happen. He also ordered her to prepare for his swift departure.^[7]

Kenobipursued Fett toGeonosis. His ship barely avoided ahoming torpedo, and he landed on the surface. He snuck into a facility and watched a meeting ofSeparatist leadership, where it was revealed thatViceroyNute Gunray of the Trade Federation was behind Amidala's assassination attempt. Kenobi reported back to the Jedi Council but was captured bydestroyer droids. His signal was rerouted through Amidala'sship onTatooine, as she and Skywalker had traveled there in afailed attempt to rescuehis mother. Meanwhile, Dooku met with the captive Kenobi to try to turn him to his side, even revealing that theevents on Naboo years prior had in fact been orchestrated by aSith Lord namedDarth Sidious, and also strongly insinuated that Sidious wasone of the high ranking officials of the Republic's government. Kenobi refused, and Dooku suggested it would be difficult for him to secure his release.^[1]

Skywalker and Amidala traveled to Geonosis to rescue Kenobi but were captured in theGeonosis droid foundries. The two were sentenced to death in thePetranaki arena along with Kenobi. When Kenobi enquired them as to why they were present, Skywalker explained Amidala's idea to rescue him, with Kenobi sarcastically congratulating them for the failed objective. They narrowly escaped their executions, which involved anacklay, anexu, and areek.^[1]

In response to Kenobi's report about the Separatists' conspiracy, the Galactic Senate, at the suggestion ofRepresentativeJar Jar Binks, granted Supreme Chancellor Palpatine "emergency powers" to deal with the crisis.^[1]

JediGrand MasterYoda brought the secret clone trooperarmy into use, and sent them to Geonosis right behind a Jedi strike force.^[1] The rapid nature of the deployment off Kamino left "Cuy'val Dar" sergeants such asKal Skirata reeling at waking up to discover the commando squads they had trained gone.^[15]

The battle[]

Penetrating the defenses[]

Agroup of 200 Jedi,^[27] led by Jedi MastersMace Windu,Coleman Trebor,Eeth Koth,Kit Fisto,Plo Koon,Shaak Ti,Even Piell,Luminara Unduli andKi-Adi-Mundi were sent to Geonosis by theJedi High Council to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi and investigate reports that Separatists were constructing an army on Geonosis.^[1]

Upon entering the system, the fleet ofJedi starfighters were fired upon byAnti-orbital cannons, taking several casualties. Mace Windu and Luminara Unduli slipped past the firing range of the cannons and pilotedTX-130S fighter tanks, and employed communications jamming to stop any CIS forces from calling for reinforcements. They set off to disable the orbital cannons. The droid defenses, consisting ofGATs,Hailfire droids, andSTAPs, attempted to hold them off, but were destroyed by the Jedi. The power nodes were destroyed, causing the cannons to explode.^[20]

The last cannon, however, was housed in aGeonosian base. Windu set out on foot to disable the cannon. He penetrated the droid defenses and destroyed the last power nodes with hislightsaber. With the orbital defenses disabled, a landing zone had to be made. The Jedi strike team landed in a captured Confederate outpost and moved toward the arena in a convoy ofRTTs. Windu and Unduli cleared the way in their tanks. They reached the perimeter of the arena, where they destroyed tunnel catacombs deployingbattle droids. The Jedi deployed into the arena quietly.^[20]

Also around this time, theAcclamator-class assault shipAken was traveling to Geonosis through itsasteroid belt.Aken was escorted by Jedi starfighters lead byAdi Gallia, who had traveled fromNod Kartha, andSiri Tachi. After they were spotted bydroid starfighters, the Jedi had to defend theAken from twoC-9979 landing craft and twoTrade Federation Missile Frigates that appeared behind them along withGeonosian starfighters from the surface. The Separatist forces pushed the Republic group forward until theAken reached the edge of theasteroid ring. There, ablockade of Missile Frigates arrived to trap them. Gallia led the starfighters and destroyed a pair of thefrigates in their line. This allowed theAken to escape and eventually reach the surface of Geonosis.^[2] Eventually, the rest of theAcclamator-class Assault ships penetrated the atmosphere, and proceeded to make pre-emptive strikes against the Geonosian beak-wing facilities, which resulted in the few fighters remaining unable to make headway against the Republic's orbital blockade.^[18]

Republic Strategic Command, including theZilkinMeebur Gascon, was involved in planning the battle and analyzing maps to direct Republic forces.^[11]Gaba-18 airspeeders providedreconnaissance.^[19]V-19 Torrent starfighter prototypes also fought in the battle.^[21]

Arena battle[]

The three captives, Skywalker, Amidala and Kenobi managed to avoid the beasts that had been set upon them long enough for Master Windu's rescue mission team to arrive. However, Count Dooku revealed the Separatist's new secret battle droid army, and a heated battle took place.^[1] At one point in the battle, the PadawanTu'ala, taking after hermaster, sacrificed herself to save Anakin Skywalker from a Geonosian soldier.^[28]

Though outnumbered, the Jedi fought to the end. As the Jedi appeared throughout the arena, many Geonosians fled the arena.^[1]

It was during the heated battle that followed that bounty hunter Jango Fett attempted to fight and kill the legendaryKorun Jedi Master, Mace Windu. However, during the fight, the reek nearly trampled Fett and damaged his jet pack. After killing the reek, Fett was charged by Mace Windu; at the last second the Mandalorian attempted to activate hisjetpack, but failed. The Jedi closed in on Fett, initially slashing his left hand and cutting it off before decapitating the infamous bounty hunter. His battered helmet was soon found by his "son"Boba Fett. However, Dooku's forces held the upper hand.C-3PO had accidentally lost his head in a droid factory, and his head was attached to a battle droid's body, while his own body walked onto the assembly line and had a battle droid's head attached in turn. Both incarnations of C-3PO were defeated in the arena and were re-attached byR2-D2. Eventually, Dooku signaled for a cessation of the fight. He offered the chance to surrender, but Windu refused, saying the Jedi would not become hostages. Dooku then remorsefully signaled the surrounding droids to execute the Jedi.^[1]

Meanwhile, huge Republic assault ships penetrated the upper atmosphere and dropped a fleet ofgunships, carrying thousands of clone troopers and dozens ofAT-TEs as well asJedi General Yoda, to the surface. By the time the fleet reached the arena, the Jedi had already suffered heavy casualties; all but just over 20 had been killed.^[29] Yoda ordered the clones to form a perimeter around the survivors as they evacuated. As they left, the empty stadium was littered with droid parts as the opening battle of theClone Wars began.^[1]

AJedi joined the strike team, cutting down numerous battle droids. As the battle spread past the arena, the Jedi continued to fight.^[30]

Desert battle[]

Around the time of the arena battle, a group of clone troopers lead by Jedi Master Adi Gallia and Jedi Knight Siri Tachi attacked a power plant that fueled the droid foundries in the surrounding area. After having escorted theAken to the surface of Geonosis, Master Gallia and Siri Tachi led several LAAT/i gunships at their command to deploy troopers near the power plant. The two Jedi defended the clones on the ground and in the air from Separatist forces which included battle droids,Armored Assault Tanks, and droid starfighters. Along the way, Gallia had the gunships destroy a nearbyTrade Federation Core Ship. Clone troopers eventually reached the power plant and set up explosives inside it. After the plant was detonated by the clones, Adi Gallia and Siri Tachi took to space to prevent Separatist transports from escaping.^[2]

After the rescue of the Jedi, the droid and clone armies engaged one another in a complex series of engagements on a number of different fronts. The Republic army landed in twelveAcclamator-class assault ships,^[18] off-loading infantry, armored vehicles, artillery, and air support. The Separatist army consisted of droid infantry of varying strength and larger droid-controlled vehicles.

The Battle of Geonosis was primarily a ground campaign. However, the Republic's crucial use of aerial bombardment of the Separatists' fighter craft allowed the Republic's gunships to have air superiority throughout much of the battle, giving the clone forces a crucial advantage. And although the clone troopers were vastly outnumbered by droids, the droids were heavily exposed to attacks from the air by Republic gunships. The Republic gunships were instrumental in clearing away the Hailfire droids and allowing the AT-TEs to establish superiority on the battlefield, although the Hailfires were able to shoot down a number of LAATs, and a few were destroyed by lucky shots from laser emplacements.^[1]

Clone trooperCT-1226'sregiment was deployed near the arena. A wave of droids headed toward the force. One of the Republic walkers launched a projectile which created a crater, and CT-1226 fell into it. A Hailfire droid passed over his head. AB2-HA series super battle droid swatted aside B1 battle droids to target one of the walkers. CT-1226 was able to target the B2's heat exchangers, and a missile the droid launched hit a Hailfire instead. CT-1226 disabled the B2 with anelectromagnetic pulse grenade and destroyed the droid with his blaster. The clone was then helped inside the walker as it plowed through the hole in the droid's defensive formation CT-1226 had formed.^[22]

Separatist General Sev'rance Tann was ordered to clear the way for Count Dooku. Along with a force ofB2 super battle droids, she proceeded along a canyon where Confederacy forces engaged Republic forces. Tann took control of surviving units, includingMortar Super Battle Droids,Repeater super battle droids,heavy dwarf spider droids to battleClone Scout Walkers andClone Personal Walkers, and OG-9 spider droids to duel AT-TEs. At least oneBlurrg trooper fought in those skirmishes. A trooper kept Tann updated with Count Dooku's status. Near the end of the canyon, Tann dueled and defeated threeJedi Knights. When Dooku arrived at the end of the canyon, he congratulated her for her efforts.^[7]

Republic reconnaissance troopers mounted theirspeeder bikes and raced across the battlefield, gathering vital information about enemy activity. Elsewhere, Geonosian-trained acklays and nexus devoured unfortunate clone troopers.^[4] A group of the airborne infantry, includingBattalion CommanderCRC-09/571, led the frontal assault on the Separatist Core Ships.^[9] Jedi Master Mace Windu, who was fighting on the ground, made his way to a LAAT/i and used it to destroy severalHardcell-class interstellar transports before landing and defending in a TX-130Saber-class fighter tankSPHA guns bringing down Core Ships. In this way, another three Core Ships were taken down, before Windu was informed that contact with Master Yoda had been lost. Windu raced off to find the Grand Master but was intercepted by a trio of Dooku'sSith Acolytes pilotingEnforcer hovertanks. Windu was able to defeat the trio.^[20]

Having beaten the droid army into retreat, Yoda noted that much of theConfederate Navy was still grounded receiving shipments of droids when the Republic attacked. Lightly armored and vulnerable Techno Union starships attempted to withdraw immediately, but many were destroyed in the first wave of attacks from the Republic gunships. The Jedi Master now ordered the army'sartillery to attempt to take down as many of the heavily armored Trade Federation Core Ships as possible,^[1] as they each held millions of deadly battle droids, and managed to bring down at least one.

Despite taking control of the surface of the planet, the Republic was unable to capture the Separatist leadership and stop the war before it began, and most of the Confederacy's battle droids and heavy equipment escaped aboard Core Ships.^[1]

Meanwhile, Jedi MasterEchuu Shen-Jon and a team of other Jedi, including Plo Koon, destroyed several Core Ships and Techno Union vessels. They received reinforcements in the form of 10GAR Energy Pummels carried aboardAA-9 freighters while a nearbyRepublic Starship andGunship Bombers engaged targets of opportunity.Corporate Alliance Artillery Regulars were among the Separatist forces. The Jedi team then set off to pursue Count Dooku. However, they were delayed by Sev'rance Tann, who killedStam Reath, Echuu's apprentice, angering Shen-Jon. Tann then escaped.^[7]

In the midst of battle, the Republic'sHawkbat Battalion was ordered to march directly into the line of fire of a column ofspider droids. The battalion was almost completely annihilated, butCaptainDeviss, leader ofK Company, stayed behind in a shallow crater to tend to two critically injured troopers at great personal risk. Surrounded by spider droids, he defended their position for three hours until thecasevac team arrived. His heroic acts had not been in vain, as the two men under his command were rescued.^[12]

Elsewhere,ARC trooperJangotat, previously having studied power cell recharge cycles, recognized when a Hailfire droid was about to enter a reflux pattern. The whine of the droid's capacitor was barely audible, but CT-96/298 leapt from cover and eliminated the Hailfire before it could explode, thus saving the lives of five of his cohorts.^[31]

Deep within theGeonosian catacombs, the SeparatistKaleesh/cyborg GeneralGrievous had his first combat deployment during the battle. He killed MasterUr-Sema Du and a battalion of clone troopers with anelectrostaff, claiming the Jedi's lightsaber as part of what would soon be his gruesome "collection."^[8]

Later, above a crevasse, theRepublic Commando squadTheta Squad rappelled in and placed charges on a Geonosian door, whileDelta Squad held off OG-9 homing spider droids nearby. After the door was blown, Theta and Delta entered the Geonosian caverns and split up. Heading for a droid foundry, Theta squad leaderTaler orderedDarman to stay behind and hold a position while the rest moved forward. 1136, or Darman, lost contact with his squad and pulled out. He was the only survivor of Theta.^[16]

Delta Squad managed to kill Geonosian Separatist GeneralSun Fac as he attempted to flee the planet in his personal Geonosian fighter. They also spotted General Grievous'sSoulless One. The acquisition of the codes allowed the Republic artillery and fleet to take down the rest of the CIS fleet. Along the way, Delta Squad also eliminated significant numbers of droids, Geonosian warriors, and an anti-aircraft turret.^[10]

A LAAT/i gunship deployed the four members of Delta Squad into a canyon relatively close the Core Ship access way. They proceeded into the canyon, and fought through a series of ambushes. They finally reached the entrance to the Core Ship, but they were unable to penetrate the shield, so theirClone advisor,01/425, ordered them to blast through a rock wall to reach a nearby exit.Boss led his three commandos towards the second door, and the defending droids were destroyed in short order.^[10]

Suddenly, however, anA-DSD advanced dwarf spider droid came through a different doorway, and began firing its cannons at the stranded squad. After several intense minutes, the droid was blown up, and a gunship blasted the shield protecting the Core Ship's entryway, allowing access for Delta Squad.^[10]

The squad split up, tasked with sabotaging various crucial systems. Boss stormed through the B2 battle droid storage racks, rapidly finishing off any of them that were activated. Boss found Sev in a corridor just before three destroyer droids rolled by, but they easily destroyed them using EC detonators, proceeding to save Scorch and Fixer, who were under heavy fire. Now together Delta Squad encountered abattle droid dispenser, then severalGeonosian elites and a second Advanced dwarf spider droid. Entering a lift, the squad prepared for their ultimate objective, the theft of the Core Ship launch codes, which were housed on the bridge. At that moment, a battle droid announced over a loudspeaker that all primary systems would overload in five minutes.^[10]

Delta Squad charged through multiple corridors, meeting dozens of droids on the way, and finally entered the bridge with only about one and a half minutes to spare. They brought down three auto-turrets and a squad of B1 battle droids, and Fixer began extracting the codes from a console as droidekas and B2s began swarming onto the bridge. After a minute, Delta Squad, gravely injured and being constantly hit by laser bolts, retreated through a corridor to a waiting LAAT/i Gunship just as the Core Ship began to explode. Delta squad was one of only a handful of Republic Commando squads not to lose any members during the Battle of Geonosis.^[10]

501st Mission[]

During the battle, a portion of the501st Legion engaged in combat. A clone trooper was assigned to secureCheckpoint Alpha. He encountered three B2 super battle droid scouts, but managed to destroy them before they called in reinforcements. Blowing a Hailfire droid to pieces with his thermal detonators, he then secured the wreckage of a nearbyHardcell-class interstellar transport.^[14]

The events soon became a full scale battle between the Geonosians, droids, and clones. A clone engineer was deployed to repair thePower droids andFX-series medical assistant droids, ensuring ammunition and medical supplies would aid the battle. During the course of the engagement, two Spider Droids arrived on the battlefield. The clone engineer was then ordered to the recently-deployed AT-TE. The Republic force soon destroyed the droids to prevent the balance of power from swinging.^[14]

A Geonosian soldier was shot and killed, which resulted in him dropping aSith holocron on top of the wreckedHardcell. Aclone jet trooper was called in, and managed to get theholocron to Checkpoint Alpha. The troopers then used the AT-TE to mount an assault on a nearby hill fortress, soon securing it. Aclone sniper was deployed, and picked off Geonosians and droids alike. Aclone heavy trooper came into play, using his rocket launcher to destroy a Spider droid.^[14]

General Windu arrived shortly after and led an assault that secured the Northern CIS bunker against droids includingAssault battle droids,engineer battle droids. andIG-100 MagnaGuards.^[14]

Spire Mission[]

Master Yoda then sent a group of clone troopers, an AT-TE, and a couple of LAAT/i gunships into battle. Their mission was to secure the Spire council chamber, and wipe out the remaining droids in the area. They first destroyed the Techno Union Transport ships, denying the droids escape. The clone troopers then wiped out the remaining droids, and successfully captured the spire. The droid defenses includedbattle droid assassins, B2 battle droids, and destroyer droids.^[32]

Space battle[]

Following an initial raid on a Geonosian power plant, Adi Gallia and Siri Tachi flew into orbit in their Delta-7 starfighters, intending to intercept escaping droid transports. Navigating through the asteroid ring, the Jedi received a hyperspace transmission from thepirateNym, warning thatCaptainCavik Toth ofSabaoth Squadron was en route to Geonosis with his Hex fleet. With the power of the biological weaponTrihexalon, Toth intended to level the battlefield on Geonosis, under the orders of Count Dooku.^[2]

Galia and Tachi led the fight against Toth's 8Hex Deployers and 12Bombers alongsideZeta Squadron, a squadron of Jedi pilots, includingA'Sharad Hett,Bant Eerin, andAn'ya Kuro. The Hex threat was summarily defeated under Jedi firepower, though the pilots were soon outmatched with the arrival of twoSabaoth destroyers and complements ofSabaoth starfighters andDefenders. Fortunately, Loyalist aid arrived in the form of Nym and theLok Revenants with threeG-400 starfighters and Nym'sHavoc soon joined by threeMere cruisers capable of taking down Toth's capital ships. Nym and his forces dealt with thecapital ship turrets on thedestroyers while the Jedi attacked the waves of fighters.^[2]

After one warship was destroyed, a third Destroyer emerged from hyperspace—Toth'sflagship. TheMere cruisers, led byAntilles on theTritus, directed their fire on the second vessel while all starfighter forces then began to target the flagship's capital turrets before they could cripple the Mere cruisers. Developments on Geonosis forced Master Windu to call back Zeta Squadron leaving Gallia and Tachi with only the Revenants for support. Nym sustained critical damage to his craft during the fight, and was forced to leave the battlefield. Nevertheless, the Revenants penetrated the flagship'sdeflector shields, and the Destroyer's main systems went critical. Toth himself fled his flagship in apersonal starfighter, and engaged Adi Gallia in single combat. Toth's weaponry could not overcome the Jedi's mastery ofthe Force, and his fighter was destroyed moments before his flagship exploded.^[2]

Confrontation with Count Dooku[]

In the confusion of the battle, the Separatist leader Dooku tried to flee to ahangar where hisstarship was docked. A Republic gunship carrying Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Padmé Amidala, and clone troopers pursued him. Dooku's wing guard of fighters piloted by Geonosians opened fire on the gunship; the resulting attack on the gunship led to Amidala and a clone trooper falling to the desert below. While Skywalker protested that they should not leave Amidala behind, Kenobi persuaded him that they had a mission. The gunship continued to pursue, deploying Kenobi and Skywalker into the Count's hangar shortly before being destroyed by laser fire.^[1] Trailing Dooku and the Republic gunship was General Mace Windu in afighter tank, who was intercepted by three of Dooku'sDark Acolytes in front of the hangar. They engaged Windu in combat, and all three were killed by the Jedi Master's TX-130S fighter tank, but not soon enough to allow the Korun master to involve himself in the fight.^[20]

Kenobi vs. Dooku[]

Upon arriving at Dooku's hangar, Kenobi and Skywalker challenged the Count. As Kenobi began to strategize, Skywalker, his anger getting the best of him, charged at Dooku. Dooku released a barrage ofForce lightning and blasted Skywalker aside before turning to Kenobi. Kenobi began to circle Dooku as the Count attempted to blast Kenobi with another bolt of Force lightning, demanding the Jedi Knight's surrender. Kenobi grounded the blast on his lightsaber and calmly stated that he would not withdraw. Drawing his lightsaber and angling the blade into a guard position, Dooku awaited Kenobi. Kenobi promptly charged at Dooku and attacked, but Dooku quickly deflected Kenobi's initial attack and his subsequent jab. After a quick flurry of bladework, Kenobi slashed at Dooku's legs. Dooku overleapt the attack and flourished his blade to drive Kenobi back as he landed. As Kenobi fell back, Dooku calmlytaunted him, telling him that he had expected a better performance from someone who was held in such high esteem by Yoda.^[1]

Kenobi attacked again, attempting to regain the offensive, but was forced into retreat by Dooku's elegantForm II bladework. Dooku quickly seized the offensive, the precision bladework of his Makashi style wearing away at Kenobi'sForm III defense. Despite the energy efficiency of Kenobi's defense, Dooku's precision was so great that most of Kenobi's defensive slashes missed Dooku's blade entirely, forcing him to awkwardly scramble to fend off Dooku's attacks and quickly tiring him.^[29] Eventually Kenobi, straining to keep up, was pulled into a bladelock. Dooku, a wide grin on his face, pushed Kenobi's blade aside, and suddenly jabbed at Kenobi's arm, cutting it across the side. As Kenobi fell back in pain, the Count stayed on him, slashing the Jedi across the leg and bringing him down. Despite his wisely shown restraint against Dooku, Kenobi, fatigued by the battle, wielding an unfamiliar lightsaber, and outmatched by Dooku's skills, was defeated.^[1]

As Dooku raised his lightsaber to kill Kenobi, Skywalker recovered from the blast of Force lightning and saw Kenobi's predicament. Leaping across the hangar from the corner in which he lay, Skywalker reached the two in time to block the Count's blow. As Dooku turned to regard Skywalker, Kenobi used the Force to retrieve his fallen saber and tossed it to Skywalker.^[1]

Skywalker vs. Dooku[]

Skywalker, taking up the second blade, began to unleash of flurry of broadForm IV attacks, briefly taking the Count off his guard. While initially surprised, Dooku was able to recover his guard and drive Anakin back. Owing to his little practical experience withdual-wielding, Skywalker was forced to revert to his standardForm V practices when Dooku masterfully disarmed him, flicking his second blade out of Skywalker's hand and destroying the hilt in mid air. Warding off Dooku with two rapid strikes, Skywalker quickly retreated, regaining his composure.^[1]

Slashing a power cable connected to Dooku's ship as he raised his blade into a high guard, Skywalker caused a short circuit that briefly caused the hangar lights to flicker. As the chamber dimmed, the two advanced on each other. As they stared at one another, blades at the ready, Skywalker attacked. The two engaged in a flurry of swordplay, seemingly equally matched.^[1] Briefly breaking off, Dooku quickly reassessed Anakin's strength before quickly attacking, and the duel resumed.^[29] Despite holding his own against Dooku for much of the duel, Skywalker was finally brought down when Dooku twirled and slashed off his arm with a sudden undercut. As Anakin cried out in pain, Dooku blasted the Jedi aside with a Force push. Skywalker eventually landed at Kenobi's feet.^[1]

Yoda vs. Dooku[]

As Dooku briefly caught his breath, he noticed the sound of footsteps and the clack of a cane, as well as the characteristic panting. Turning to the hangar entrance, Dooku and the newly-arrived Yoda regarded one another. Dooku attempted to kill Yoda by telekinetically ripping wall fixtures out of the hangar sides and hurling them at Yoda. When the ancient Jedi blocked, Dooku countered by ripping chunks of stone out of the hangar ceiling, a dangerous proposition as the hangar was carved out of a cavern and doing so could cause a cave-in. Yoda caught the chunks and threw them aside, turning to Dooku and acknowledging his power, but noting that he sensed thedark side of the Force in Dooku. Dooku, affirming his apparent superior power, unleashed a barrage of Force lightning at Yoda. The Jedi effortlessly caught the lightning and deflected it back at Dooku, who again deflected it into a nearby wall. Dooku proceeded to unleash a second blast against Yoda, but as a show of his mastery, Yoda absorbed the bolt completely, with no need for deflection, showing Dooku the clear futility of this assault.^[1]

Dooku brandished his lightsaber, stating that this contest would not be decided by their mastery of the Force, but rather by their skill with a lightsaber. As Yoda drew his own weapon, Dooku leapt into action, unleashing his full Form II mastery against Yoda. However, Yoda's own mastery of Form IV allowed him to hold off Dooku's relentless attacks, and seize the offensive. Realizing both that he would not be able to defeat Yoda and that Republic reinforcements would soon arrive, Dooku distracted Yoda by using the Force to topple one of the hangar's power columns onto Kenobi and Skywalker. As Yoda broke off the duel to telekinetically catch the power column, Dooku was able to quickly boardhis ship and escape.^[1]

Aftermath and legacy[]

The explosion of Toth's flagship was seen from the surface. Master Windu contacted Master Gallia for a status update. Gallia confirmed her mission was successful, and Windu informed her that the battle was over, although Dooku escaped and Skywalker had been wounded. The two later had a private meeting in theHigh Council Chamber.^[2]

By the end of the battle, only Republic soldiers remained. However, the victory had not come easy.^[4] When the Republic assault shipImplacable was extracted from Geonosis toOrd Mantell, med triage on board estimated 12,000 seriously injured men and 8,000 walking wounded. Approximately 72,000 clones were deemed combat-fit.^[16] Thousands of clone troopers had died in the fighting, and most of the Confederacy's army had been safely evacuated aboard Core Ships during the battle.^[4]

GeonosianArchdukePoggle the Lesser had fled along with the rest of the Separatist Council, and his warriors had retreated into the catacombs, where they resisted the Republic's every effort to dislodge them.^[4]

Darth Tyranus arrived on Coruscant to meet with his master, who was settled in anabandoned executive building inThe Works, not far from theSenate District and theJedi Temple. Meanwhile, the Grand Army of the Republic was mobilized throughout the galaxy as the Clone Wars began.^[1]

Grievous remained unknown to the Republic, for he killed off any of the Jedi or clones he encountered,^[8] while Sev'rance Tann escaped Geonosis after killing Shen-Jon's Padawan, Stam Reath.^[7]

Cuy'val Dar sergeant Kal Skirata lost nine commandos that he trained in the battle, namely the casualties from Theta Squad,Teroch Squad, andNiner's squad. He, Walon Vau, Niner, and Fi would later reflect that this had been due to the Jedi's ill-advised usage of the commandos as infantry rather than special forces.^[15]

While back at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, Masters Kenobi and Windu both expressed their mutual belief that the battle would not have been won without the clones, but Master Yoda retorted at the irony of Obi-Wan's use of the word "victory." The battle was but the first of many in what became known as the Clone Wars. They also decided to investigate the Sith Lord that Dooku had mentioned to Obi-Wan Kenobi during the latter's imprisonment, Darth Sidious, in case Dooku was truthful about this revelation. It would not be untilthree years later, nearing the end of the Clone Wars, that they would eventually identify Sidious as being none other than the Supreme Chancellor, Palpatine. Skywalker, meanwhile, escorted Senator Amidala back to Naboo, where they werewed in a secret ceremony.^[1]

After the battle, a collection of reports known as theGeonosian Debriefings was compiled, and for his role in the battle, CT-1226 was given a medal at the insistence of the Republic generals.^[22]

Jango Fett's son Boba buried his father and then took hisship to the moons ofBogden, where he engaged in afirefight.^[3]

The pirate Nym was later offered the post of commander of theKarthakk system, although he declined. Gallia then volunteered to be his personal "Jedi advisor."^[2]

In the months following the battle Mace Windu would regret his decision not to strike down Count Dooku when he had the chance, and killing Jango Fett without a second thought.^[9]

JediDepa Billaba would later state to Windu onHaruun Kal that by simply bombing the arena on Geonosis, the Republic could have prevented a war that destroyed billions of lives at the expense of only a few hundred Jedi.^[9]

As the Separatists and Republic built up their forces, they engaged in harassment tactics.^[4] Shortly afterward, the two opposing governments fought theDecimator campaign^[7] and theDark Reaper crisis.^[20]

Months later, the Republic occupation force was defeated, necessitating anotherplanet-wide invasion.^[33]

One year after the battle, the Geonosians began construction of theDeath Star above Geonosis under the orders ofDarth Sidious.

Bytwo years after the battle, the Republic had built onCoruscant amemorial listing the names of every clone trooper that died during this first battle.^[34]

Three years after the battle, when Skywalker and Kenobiconfronted Dooku for what was ultimately the final time aboard theInvisible Hand above Coruscant, Kenobi told Skywalker that they are to fight him together this time around, referring to Skywalker's earlier brash attempt at attacking Dooku head-on that got him blasted with Force Lightning, with Skywalker admitting he was going to suggest the exact same thing.^[35]

Behind the scenes[]

The First Battle of Geonosis continued theStar Wars saga's tradition of huge battles in the2002 filmStar Wars: Episode IIAttack of the Clones.

A scene where Plo Koon and Ki-Adi-Mundi raid aLucrehulk-class Droid Control Ship was originally going to be included, but did not appear in the final cut.^[50] Another cut scene was the appearance of theCorporate Alliance tank droid.

At one point in the arena battle, Ki-Adi-Mundi can be seen wielding a green lightsaber, unlike his customary blue lightsaber. In the arena battle, one of the Jedi in the strike team can be seen using a blue and a green lightsaber.

In the 2013 mobile card gameStar Wars: Force Collection, players had the chance to take part in two large-scale "quests" known as the Geonosis Battlefields. The participation was optional, although this article assumes the player did so. The quest featured bosses such as B1 battle droids and Yoda, regardless of the player's alignment.

Samuel L. Jackson requested George Lucas that his character be given a purple lightsaber because he wanted to be able to find himself in the Geonosis battle scene inAttack of the Clones. He reasoned that, since Windu is the second most powerful Jedi after Yoda, Windu should have a lightsaber of a different color from the customary red, blue, and green.^[51]

Non-canon content[]

InLEGO Star Wars: The Video Game andLEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga, Padmé Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Anakin Skywalker face a battle droid firing squad rather than the three lethal beasts, and Anakin is seen wielding a green lightsaber.

In the2012 young-readers bookLEGO Star Wars: Anakin to the Rescue, Kenobi is captured by a trap set by Count Dooku—cookies. During the execution, the three captives manage to subdue the beasts but are surrounded by battle droids. The Jedi then appear and battle the droids. Amidala and Skywalker ride the Reek, while Fett fights Windu. AJawa carrying aprobe droid in a net bumps into him and drags him away. Yoda and Kenobi corner the Count, but he distracts Kenobi with more cookies and escapes. The Jedi then celebrate with a roller coaster.
