Bridging the gap between Star Wars Episode II and Episode III, Cartoon Network premieres the 20th mini-episode of Genndy Tartakovsky’s The Clone Wars animated shorts. The Clone Wars shorts return – in a slightly less short format – in the spring of 2005, running up to the theatrical release of Episode III; on DVD, this is also the end of Volume One. This installment marks the first appearance of General Grievous. 
Anakin returns to Muunilinst, where Obi-Wan is overseeing mop-up operations. Kenobi receives a distress call from a number of Jedi on the planet Hypori, who are under siege from a ferocious new droid general.
