Unidentified space battle (Saesee Tiin)

During the third year of the Clone Wars, Jedi General Saesee Tiin participated in a battle somewhere in space. Aboard his starfighter, the Jedi Master engaged three Confederate tri-fighter droids in the midst of the conflict. The droids overwhelmed Tiin, forcing the Jedi to stay on the defensive. Tiin was saved from death by the timely arrival of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, who destroyed the droids with his starfighter's laser cannons.

The battle
During the Outer Rim Sieges of the Clone Wars, Jedi General Saesee Tiin participated in a space battle in 20 BBY. Tiin&mdash;along with a Republic battle group that consisted of Venator-class Star Destroyers and ARC-170 starfighters&mdash;fought against Confederate Providence-class carrier/destroyers and tri-fighter droids. In the midst of the battle, Tiin, who was aboard his personal Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor, was the target of three tri-fighter droids. Despite engaging the droids, Tiin was forced to stay on the defensive, as the droids' blaster fire was overwhelming the Jedi.

Tiin struggled to maneuver his Eta-2 away from the pursuing droids' laser fire, but he was saved by the timely arrival of Jedi General Anakin Skywalker, who destroyed all three attacking droids with his starfighter's laser cannons. After saving Tiin, Skywalker, along with flanking ARC-170 starfighters, took out other tri-fighter droids near the Venator-class Star Destroyers.

Behind the scenes
The space battle involving Saesee Tiin first appeared in the twenty-second chapter of the Star Wars: Clone Wars television series, which aired on March 22, 2005.
