Dogfight over Geonosis/Legends

The Skirmish over Geonosis was a battle between Jango Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi in the dangerous asteroid-filled ring around the Separatist controlled planet Geonosis. It took place in 22 BBY.

Prelude
After a small fight with Fett on Kamino, Obi-Wan Kenobi threw a homing device on the departing Slave I’s hull. He tracked them to the Geonosis system, specifically to Geonosis. After a young Boba Fett saw they were being tracked, Jango flew the Slave I into the ring around Geonosis.

The Battle
Obi-Wan followed in close pursuit of Jango, dodging asteroids and the incoming seismic charges. Jango flew through holes in asteroids, but Obi-Wan would not give up. Finally, Jango fired a missile at Obi-Wan. It followed him no matter where he went. Finally, he told the astromech droid R4-P17 to release his spare parts. The missile could not dodge the number of tiny objects and made an explosion, which lead Jango to believe he had destroyed his enemy. Obi-Wan landed on a asteroid until Jango had entered Geonosis’s atmosphere. He then followed the Slave I, ultimately leading to the Mission to Geonosis.
