"Citadel Rescue" is the twentieth episode of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series' third season. It is currently set to air on March 11, 2011.

Official description
"After their ship and only way off the planet is destroyed, Anakin and Obi-Wan must lead the escaped prisoners across Lola Sayu's perilous landscape as Plo Koon commands a task force of four cruisers and their fighters through the Separatist defenses in a daring rescue. Even Piell is ravaged by anooba tracking beasts, but before he dies, he passes on his Nexus Routes coordinates to Ahsoka. When the survivors return to Coruscant, Ahsoka knows half the intel, and refuses to disclose it to anyone but the Jedi Council, while Tarkin refuses to hand over his half to anyone other than the Chancellor."

Plot summary
After finding a temporarily safe refuge in the caves, Even Piell and R2-D2 contact the Jedi Council. They learn that Master Plo Koon is already on his way to retrieve them, but that there is only a small window of opportunity in which the rescue party can get to them; the rendevouz point is a small island situated in a lava lake surrounded by a mountain ring. right after the call of made, a squad of commando droids attack them, forcing them to move on. In the meantime, Osi Sobeck is contacted by Count Dooku and reprimanded for his failure to recapture the prisoners so far, though Dooku decides to give him another chance until success or failure are a certainty.

The Jedi team reaches the lake, but are attacked by a large battle droid force. While R2's droid team holds off the enemy for as long as they are able (and are ultimately destroyed), the Jedi, clones and Tarkin descend the cliff down to the lake's shore and flee into a set of tunnels.
