Water wars.
Tensions run high on the ocean world of Mon Calamari,
where two separate peoples...
the aggressive, squidlike Quarren
and their peaceful neighbor, the Mon Calamari...
struggle to maintain a fragile coexistence.
Adding to this strife,
the King of the Mon Calamari
has been found mysteriously
murdered, leaving his young son,
prince Lee-Char, to guide
his people alone.
But the Quarren race will not accept the new ruler
as their King.
Senator Amidala and her
jedi bodyguard have arrived
to help resolve the matter
and to avoid plunging the planet
into civil war.
The world prospered
under our rule.
It's time for a change!
The prince's rule has been preordained.
Down with this monarchy!
We'll defend our right
for a Mon Cala King.
We want a Quarren King.
Down with the Mon Cala.
Power to the Quarren!
I am dedicated to serving
the Quarren as well as
my own people, the Mon Calamari.
Silence!
You haven't earned the right
to speak at this gathering.
You have no say in the matter, ambassador.
You are only here as an observer
for the separatists.
Do not forget I am here
at the request of the Quarren
because you, captain,
demanded the presence
of the Republic.
Such a disgrace...
I'll give you a lesson in manners.
Prince Lee-Char will bring
the planet to ruin.
The boy has neither the
experience nor the knowledge
to lead.
Please.
You're here to find a compromise.
What can the Republic do to help keep the peace?
This is a matter between
the Quarren and the Mon Cala.
Yeah, who asked you?
The Republic has no place here.
Down with the Republic!
We refuse to support the coronation
of another Mon Cala King.
I'm sorry.
Ambassador?
It is my opinion
the Quarren have no further business here.
Come on, captain Ackbar. We have to contact Master Yoda.
Your father was my trusted friend.
I am sorry for your loss.
This civil war, is it inevitable?
Sadly so, Master Yoda.
The separatist ambassador came here to stir up the Quaren
and that's exactly what he did.
It's only a matter of time
before the Quarren withdraw from the Republic.
I suspect behind this,
Count Dooku is.
The Mon Calamari system
is still part of the Republic.
This planet must not fall into separatist hands.
I'll dispatch Master Fisto and your padawan Tano
along with a company of clones.
They'll be at your side by day's end.
In the meantime, captain, assemble the Mon Cala troops,
and prepare for a Quarren assault.
The toops are being assembled, senator.
Let's hope we don't need them, captain.
I'm entrusting the safety
of prince Lee-Char
to your hands.
You must remain at his side
at all times
as his personal bodyguard.
Senator, if the boy is...
we are on the verge
of a civil war, captain,
and that boy
is the supreme commander
of Mon Cala's military.
It's up to you to see
that he remains safe
and that he can handle the job.
With due respect, senator,
the prince is not ready to lead an army.
He needs training.
You have your orders, captain.
You are right, captain.
I am not trained to lead an army.
Come on, your highness.
We have a war to win.
The army has assembled, Count Dooku.
Well done, Tamson.
What about the Quarren leader?
The Quarren leader
is on board 100%.
He will deliver the planet into your hands,
just as you said he would.
Very good, commander.
In the end,
control of this planet
will be in your hands.
Proceed as planned.
In this time of crisis,
our King has something to say.
I know many of you agree with the Quarren
that I am too young to rule.
But I assure you I will use
all my strength
and all my abilities to lead us
through this challenge.
We are a great people,
and I will do all I can to negotiate peace
without bloodshed.
I do not believe the Quarren will attack.
Attack!
It's an attack. Take cover.
{pub}The prince. The prince is here!
He's joining the battle.
Captain.
What are your orders, your highness?
Stay where you are, and hold the line.
If I may suggest, captain,
we should take the prince to a safer place until the Republic reinforcements arrive.
That's impossible.
That is a decision only the prince can make.
He is our leader.
This is horrible.
Your highness, this is not a wise decision.
And you know it.
Forget your tradition. This is war.
Majesty?
I have to stay here with my people.
Press your attack, captain.
Soldiers of Mon Calamari, this is your home.
Do not let it fall.
I need to get some troops behind those separatist droids.
Come on; I know a shortcut.
We should come out right behind them.
Good plan.
Look out!
What do we do now?
Well, we got to come up with another plan.
Any ideas?
Our only choice now is to wait for the jedi reinforcements.
- Blue leader standing by. - Red leader standing by.
All squadron are in position, general Fisto.
You may deploy when ready.
Commencing deployment.
Three.
Two.
One.
Mark.
Reinforcements. Finally.
Anakin, I'm going to look for senator Tills.
Hopefully, she's still alive.
Be careful.
Look out!
Stay down, and don't move.
Hear that? They're cheering for you.
They're cheering for them.
Then make it for you.
Come on.
Lead.
You called for backup?
I had it under...
Control, snips.
I knew you'd say that.
Anakin, I need you down here.
It's senator Tills.
I need help getting her to safety.
We're at the base of the palace.
And hurry.
Ahsoka, cover the prince.
I'm going to the senators.
Got it, Master.
- Grab on! - Good idea.
Get us out of here!
Hang on.
I am. I am.
I'm slipping.
Look out! They're coming right at us.
I'm letting go.
Look out! Behind you!
As long as we're in the tube, we're safe.
Look, the prince.
Hurry.
{pub}They are returning to their ships.
We seem to have won this one.
We are lucky to have survived the first assault.
They could have easily overrun us with their droids.
The droids are taking up position in the coral,
probably amassing for another assault.
Why would they hide in the coral?
Your aqua droids are no match for the Mon Calamari.
What makes you think
these secret weapons you've brought from your home world
will fare any better?
They are half machine, half monster.
We call them hydroid medusas.
They are invincible.
- Prince Lee-Char. - Senator Tills.
I'm glad to see you're safe.
You must prepare to dictate terms
for a Quarren surrender.
Surrender?
Not so fast, senator.
I know the Quarren.
They won't surrender.
We may have won the first battle, your highness,
but it won't be the last.
It's only a matter of time
before they launch another assault.
I sense the real battle is about to begin.
We have no defense against those.
This isn't gonna be easy.
All troops, battle stations!
Do not fire until the prince gives the command.
Steady. Steady.
Not yet.
- Now, your highness. - Attack!
Asoka, find a way out of here.
Prince,
where's somewhere safe?
We can't retreat, not now.
We've got to be brave.
There's a time to attack and a time to retreat,
and now is not the time to be brave.
The safest place is in the caves.
I agree, your highness.
Follow me.
Anakin, go. I'll hold them off.
Come on. Keep going. Don't stop.
Search the area for survivors.
Secure the perimeter.
What took your squids so long?
I didn't think you and your separatist droids would need backup.
Your reputation is a little exaggerated.
Exaggeration is a weapon of war.
It's what helped deliver the enemy into your hands.
Then let's be thankful this is our day,
a victorious day that...
disobey a command from Count Dooku again,
and I will kill you where you stand.
Thanks to you padawan Tano, and to these brave soldiers.
I wish I could have done more for my people.
Maybe then we would have been
spared all of this,
the illusion that I could actually lead in my father's place.
Your father would be proud of you.
Proud?
We lost.
Today you learned the hardest lesson a commander can learn:
how to live to fight another day.
