Anakin, Padmé, and Obi-Wan fight for their lives against the monsters of the arena on Geonosis, and then the Jedi cavalry arrives.
Despite the Jedi Council’s instructions to stay on Naboo and protect Senator Amidala, Anakin joined Padmé in an attempt to rescue Obi-Wan Kenobi. Their rescue attempt was short lived, and now the pair finds themselves in the arena with Anakin’s mentor against three monsters. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we find ourselves in the heart of act three of Attack of the Clones as Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padmé fight for their lives. When Mace Windu and the Jedi Order arrive, the tide of the battle begins, but it is short lived.
