Star Wars: Clone WarsHaving stretched out the Republic’s forces along the Outer Rim, Grievous launces a direct assault against Coruscant that includes a space and ground attack. Saesee Tiin takes charge of the Republic fleet while Mace and Yoda assist the troopers planetside. On Nelvaan, Obi-wan learns that most of the tribe’s male warriors have disappeared. The beast that Anakin killed was the quarry in a rite of passage for the tribe’s new would-be champion. When Obi-Wan realizes that their prophecies refer to a “ghost hand,” he suggests that Anakin attempt to find those responsible for the disappearance – a ritual that may also serve as the very last of Anakin’s Jedi trials, the test of his own psyche.
