Clone Wars Chapter 19

"Chapter 19" is the nineteenth episode of the Star Wars: Clone Wars animated television series, the ninth episode in Season Two, and the nineteenth episode in Volume I. Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, the episode originally aired on Cartoon Network on April 7, 2004.

Synopsis
With the raindrops sizzling on their lightsabers, Anakin Skywalker and Asajj Ventress stand motionless in the driving rain of Yavin 4. Anakin makes the first move, leaping to the top of the Massassi temple where Ventress stands. They trade blows for several seconds until Anakin Force pushes Ventress off the temple into the ruins below.

Following her into the temple building, they resume their battle using their lightsabers and Force powers to hurl masonry and each other around the chamber. Throwing Ventress through the wall, the two ascend the stairs to the very top of the temple building. Ventress knocks the lightsaber from Anakin's hand, but he grabs her arms, blocking her killing blow. His mechanical arm squeezes hers until she drops one of her lightsabers, which Anakin grabs using the Force. Filled with rage, Anakin furiously attacks Ventress, driving her to the edge of the temple roof. He strikes and strikes and strikes&mdash;with each blow a vision of Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Yoda appears. These visions symbolize Anakin's passage to the Dark Side of the Force. Finally, the ledge under Ventress's feet collapses and she plunges screaming into a massive chasm. With a final scream of rage, Anakin tosses Ventress's lightsaber into the chasm as well.
