Following the abduction of Zinn Toa from his home on Glee Anselm, Cad Bane traveled to Rodia to find his next target, Wee Dunn. His mission was part of his larger agenda during his work for Darth Sidious to capture four of the children listed in the contents of the kyber memory crystal. Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, Yoda, and Obi-Wan Kenobi traced the pain the bounty hunter was causing through the force, and so Kenobi was sent to Rodia to protect the child.

The bounty hunter, disguised as a Jedi, failed to convince the child's mother, Mahtee Dunn, that it was time for her son to begin his Jedi training that Master Bolla Ropal had promised her. When she refused to give him the child, Bane resorted to using a hypnogazer to force her to give into his demands. By the time Kenobi had arrived to protect the child, the bounty hunter was already on the run. After a brief chase, Bane escaped in his starfighter, the Xanadu Blood.

Prelude
Darth Sidious began to rely on Bane for his own personal use, tasking Bane with stealing a holocron in the Jedi Temple and the capture of Bolla Ropal and the Kyber memory crystal on Devaron. The bounty hunter succeeded in stealing both, and manipulated Anakin Skywalker into combining them, unlocking the information held within them: a list of every single Force-potent child in the galaxy. During a struggle with the clone trooper Denal over the planet Devaron, Bane appeared to be killed. In reality, Bane had killed Denal and took his armor, and used the disguise to escape the doomed frigate in the same shuttle the Republic forces used to escape.

After the shuttle regrouped with the rest of the Republic force on board the Resolute, Bane's disguise was compromised and he made his escape in a V-19 Torrent starfighter. Bane was rewarded with the advanced starfighter, the Xanadu Blood, for his actions, and Darth Sidious gave him a new mission: capture four of the Force-sensitive infants on the list and deliver them to the remote planet of Mustafar, where Sidious planned to use them as test subjects in his experiments for the alteration of Force-sensitives to build his own personal corps of spies.

Bane's first target was Zinn Toa, a Nautolan who lived on Glee Anselm. Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Yoda detected his work on Glee Anselm through the force and decided to not send a Jedi peacekeeper to defend the child, since Bane most likely already accomplished his goal. Skywalker and his Padawan Ahsoka Tano were sent to Naboo to protect Roo-Roo Page, while Kenobi was sent to Rodia to defend Wee Dunn, Bane's next target.

The mission
Using the Xanadu Blood, the heavily-modified and well-equipped Porax-38 starfighter that had been gifted to him by Sidious, Bane traveled to Rodia, where the bounty hunter donned a Jedi robe and met with the Rodian Mahtee Dunn, mother of the Force-sensitive Wee Dunn, in her home in Kay-Tap square. Bane deceived the elder Dunn, stating that Jedi impostors had been roaming the galaxy and stealing Force-sensitive children. Receiving resistance from Mahtee, the Duros used a hypnogazer to temporarily alter her memory and force her into complying with his demands.

Leaving one of his blasters behind and preparing to depart with Wee Dunn, Bane witnessed Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi&mdash;who had been dispatched to prevent the kidnapping&mdash;enter the room and learn of the child's capture from Mahtee. Bane activated his rocket boots and soared to the platform where the Xanadu Blood was parked. Kenobi pursued the bounty hunter, but arrived too late to prevent him from escaping with the Rodian infant.

Aftermath
Cad Bane was able to escape with the second out of the four children he needed to complete his mission, and brought Dunn to the Sith's secret stronghold on Mustafar. His next target was Roo-Roo Page, a Gungan child who lived in the Gungan city of Jan-gwa on Naboo. The Jedi had already taken the necessary precautions to ensure the child's safety, and laid a trap for the bounty hunter. Bane was caught in the trap and captured.

The secret base on Mustafar's location was compromised when Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano found traces of volcanic ash on Bane's starfighter. Though he had wiped his ship's navigation records, he had forgotten to wipe his fueling records, which confirmed that the bounty hunter had visited Mustafar during his mission. Dunn, along with the Nautolan child Zinn Toa, was rescued by Skywalker and Tano on Mustafar. Since the Jedi were unsure of the full extent of what the children were subjected to on Mustafar, the Jedi Council chose not to return the children to their parents and instead to raise the children in the Jedi Temple.

Behind the scenes
New technology introduced during production of season two of Star Wars: The Clone Wars made it possible to fit Rodia and several other planets depicted in "Children of the Force" into the timespan of a single episode. Though the scenery and design of Rodia was already developed for the season one episode "Bombad Jedi", Rodia was redone for "Children of the Force" to make it look better.
