Narration; "Downed on Tatoinne! Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Clone forces were ambushed by General Grievous on a distant planet! Having been seperated from most of his forces, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Clone Trooper Bolt seek help on Tatoinne, so they can return to the Jedi Temple!"

Obi-Wan Kenobi and CT-554, nicknamed "Bolt" walk through the sreets of Mos Eisley. Obi-Wan advises Bolt, "There are many thugs in this area. Keep an eye out. Stay alert!" and Bolt replies "Yes, General". Obi-Wan and Bolt continue walking until they reach the entrance to the Mos Eisley Cantina. Obi-Wan halts Bolt, before saying, "There are many criminals who come here. We'll split up, and look for someone who can help us". Obi-Wan and Bolt walk inside. Bolt slips off to the far side of the Cantina, while Obi-Wan helps himself to a drink. A few moments later, Bolt returns, sliding over to where Obi-Wan is standing, and whispers, "General! No leads on anyone who can help us. But I saw something you might want to see. Several thugs were tormenting and torturing a Wookie over there". Obi-Wan follows Bolt over to where the Wookie is being tortured. Bolt makes to draw his DC-15 blaster, but Obi-Wan stops him, whispering, "No! If they see your weapon, they'll be able to tell you're a Clone Trooper. Then they could bring Dooku here!". Obi-Wan sneaks up to the thugs, who continue to torture the Wookie as if Obi-Wan wasn't there. Obi-Wan calmly asks, "What are you doing?". The chief torturer turns angrily to Obi-Wan and snaps, "My name is Dr Evazan, and I do what I want to!". Bolt comes out of his hiding place and punches out two of the thugs. Obi-Wan force pushes Evazan and the others away, before quickly untieing the Wookie, and as Evazan looks on in rage, Obi-Wan and Bolt help the Wookie escape.

Obi-Wan and Bolt bring the Wookie to they're little camp outside of Mos Eisley. As Bolt flashes a torchlight across the Wookie's face, the full extent of the torture Evazan gave it comes full into focus. Several slashes of the flesh having been sliced open are just parts of it. Obi-Wan gets a bigger shock when he recognizes the Wookie, who he knows as "Chewbacca". Obi-Wan whispers to Chewbacca, "Chewbacca?" and Bolt says "What's that, Sir?" and Obi-Wan replies "It's the name of this Wookie, Chewbacca". Chewbacca grunts in pain as he wakes up. Chewbacca notices Obi-Wan, recognizes him, and smiles. Chewbacca looks questioningly at Bolt, and Obi-Wan says "This is Bolt, one of our Clone Troopers. We had to disguise him so he would not be recognized". Chewbacca nods in an understanding way. Chewbacca says to them both, *That evil git who was torturing me, has been rounding up the locals here, and imprisoning them. I tried to free them, but was captured and tortured*. Obi-Wan says "Do you know where?" and Chewbacca replies *Yes, in a prison block not far from here. Crawling with Womp Rats*. Bolt asks, "Can you get us a ride away from here?" and Chewbacca replies, *Yes. But on one condition*. Obi-Wan says as Bolt doesn't know Wookie, "What is this condition?" and Chewbacca replies, *We free those locals*. Obi-Wan, Chewbacca and Bolt get up and leave. Bolt whispers to Obi-Wan, "How do you understand Wookie?" and Obi-Wan replies, "When you have a Master like mine in Qui-Gon Jinn, you learn a good deal" as they head off towards the prison block.

At the prison block, Evazan is overseeing the arrival of new prisoners, which include Owen and Beru Lars, and Padme Amidala's family (Ruwee, Jobal and Sola). Owen is tired after a hard days work, and stumbles, falling to the ground at Evazan's feet at one point. The mad Evazan just yells, "Come on you maggots! On your feet and move on!". Evazan turns to several Tusken Raiders and says, "Guard this place well! That escaped Wookie might try something again!"

Later in the night, Obi-Wan, Chewbacca and Bolt run for the prison block, and hide behind a bit of cover as Tusken Raiders look their way. Obi-Wan signals and Bolt peels away around the other side of the Tusken Raiders, before opening fire on them, and shooting down a couple. While the Tusken's are distracted, Chewbacca shoots at them with a Wookie bowcaster. While the Tusken's turn on Chewbacca, Bolt breaks cover and shoots some more Tusken's, before Obi-Wan jumps behind them and slices down the rest. As Womp Rats head their way to attack, Bolt says to Obi-Wan, "Keep going, General! Chewbacca and I will handle these!" and Obi-Wan replies "Alright, Bolt!" and he runs into the prison block.

One of the Tusken Raiders guarding the prison cell here's a clanging noise. The Tusken Raider goes to investigate, but doesn't come out alive because Obi-Wan slices his head off. The remaing three Tusken Raiders charge at Obi-Wan, who calmly defeats, and kills them. Obi-Wan then uses his lightsaber to cut through the prison cell door, and the cell door falls down and opens as the story ends!
