Plot summary
Inside the Twilight, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his droid R2-D2 are working on a Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor. While altering the appearance of the Delta-7B, Skywalker says to R2 that the damage must look as realistic as possible, due to the fact he wants to infiltrate the frigate of Confederate head of state Count Dooku. As he continues his work, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi tells him that he is good at damaging ships, as well as, repairing them. Skywalker's Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano reports that they're approaching to an ice field on schedule. Tano reveals that she thinks that it is a dumb plan and the Separatists will never fall for it. Skywalker calms her down and tells her that the stupid battle droids of the Separatist Droid Army will fall for anything. Skywalker then releases the fighter and some other trash out of the Twilight and into space. On a Confederate Munificent-class star frigate, a B1 battle droid informs the captain of the ship that they have found the remains of a Jedi starfighter and that they are picking up a life-sign. The battle droid captain orders to tow it aboard and have a security detail standing ready. In a hangar, battle droids orders the Jedi to come out of the fighter, because they are aware of his presence inside the fighter, due to the life-form scanning. Skywalker complies and tells the droids that he is just waiting on an invitation. Skywalker then begins to fight the droids with a fraud lightsaber, destroying several of them, before a B2 super battle droid shoots and destroys the lightsaber. Skywalker surrenders and the droids inform him that they are the best of their series, because he is on Count Dooku's frigate. Meanwhile on the Twilight, Kenobi picks up Skywalker's real lightsaber and orders Tano to take the ship back to the fleet, while he dons a spacesuit to rescue Skywalker.
