Rescue mission in Theed

"Good luck Obi-Wan. And may the Force be with you!"

- Asha to Kenobi before the mission

The Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi undertook a rescue mission in the city of Theed on Naboo after escorting the Queen home from her mission to speak to the Galactic Senate. The mission took place during the Invasion of Naboo in the year 32 BBY and was executed under the cover of darkness. Asha, a servant who had become a leader of the Naboo Resistance, contacted Kenobi and asked him to rescue several Security Force pilots who had been captured and were being held in the Palace Observatory.

Kenobi started near the Theed Royal Palace's waterfall and ascended up to the next level. He fought through a group of B1 battle droids and sliced through the alarm system with his lightsaber, disabling it.

Once in the streets, he was pinned down by two repeater cannons. He flanked the cannons and eliminated the droids manning them. Continuing along to the observatory, he faced two E4 baron droids and a squad of OOM security battle droids. He then crossed the bridge connecting the Palace to the Observatory and elimated the battle droids and the two assassin droids. He also used a sniper rifle to eliminate droid snipers at the top of the Observatory. Kenobi jumped up and infiltrated the Observatory through a side window and eliminated the droids guarding the six pilots. He shut down the force field holding them in place, and the squad leader agreed to help him. The pilots held back while Kenobi retraced his steps back to the Palace. On the bridge, Kenobi fought two more assassin droids. The pilots then moved to the courtyard, where Kenobi fought more battle droids supplemented by bomb droids. With those threats taken care of, Kenobi led the pilots back toward the Palace. They then held back while Kenobi dueled 2 more assassin droids and bomb droids. Kenobi then joined up with the Naboo Resistance to fight near the Palace, and helped them take out 2 baron droids. Asha then congratulated the young Jedi.

Behind the scenes
This battle appears in the 2001 video game Star Wars: Obi-Wan during the game's fifth chapter. It contradicts the Episode I movie because it takes place at night, whereas in the movie the Queen returns and liberates the planet in the same day.
