The republic is the democratic state power of several planetary systems, led by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine . Your seat is on the planet Coruscant. The Jedi Order is also located on this planet. From there, the Jedi strive to always uphold justice and peace in the galaxy.

The Supreme Chancellor Palpatine sends the two Jedi Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to Muunilinst, a fortress of the separatists. From there they are to lead an attack on this fortress. While Obi-Wan Kenobi prepares for the upcoming mission and provides an army of clone warriors, Anakin says goodbye to his secret love, Padmé .

The Republican fleet, led by Anakin and Obi-Wan, encounters resistance as it enters orbit on the planet Muunilinst. After some turbulence, the Republican troops manage to land safely on the planet. From there, the clone troops have to find a way to the enemy command center, as they were unable to land on their landing zone as planned. The separatist commander is concerned as the Jedi advance with their clone troops. But Count Dooku , the leader of the Separatists, has found a strong ally who can hold his own against the Jedi. It's Durge, a vicious bounty hunter with an army of mercenaries. The villain with his soldiers seems more dangerous than the republic first thought.

Meanwhile, the Jedi master Kit Fisto leads a dangerous attack against the separatists on the water planet Mon Calamari . In the underwater offensive, Fisto manages to drive the armed droid army to flight with the help of amphibious clone troops. Count Dooku is now looking for a new ally with enough stamina to defeat the Jedi. On the planet Rattatak, Dooku finally discovers a powerful fighter. The warrior Asajj Ventress, a representative of the Dark Force, believes she can defeat the stubborn Jedi. Count Dooku doubts her Sith talents (talents of the representatives of the Dark Force) and challenges her to a fight in which Ventress' real strengths are to be tested. Although she fails against Dooku, Dooku is so impressed that he gives Ventress the important task of killing Anakin.

Meanwhile, Obi-Wan and some clone warriors on Muunilinst face a great challenge. Durge and his mercenaries turn out to be tough opponents. Durge is even against attacks a lightsaber immune. At the same time, clone troops storm the enemy command center on another part of the planet. Anakin Skywalker now leads his own mission. In a turbulent space battle, he has to assert himself against numerous enemy ships when suddenly an unusually nimble ship appears. It's Asajj Ventres. Contrary to Obi-Wan's orders, Anakin pursues the mysterious ship on an alien planet.

Anakin is in pursuit of the dark Jedi Asajj Ventress, who circled the Muunilinst battlefield several times together. Anakin stubbornly defies the instructions of his mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi, who forbids persecution. Ventress leads Anakin into a fierce aerial battle, they switch to the speed of light and set course for the planet Yavin. Concerned, Obi-Wan sends a force of clone troops to Anakin's support. On another battlefield on the steppe planet Dantooine , Jedi master Mace Windu leads his armed force into battle. With the help of a huge vehicle, which rams a kind of giant stamp into the ground and in this way triggers large seismic shock waves, the separatists manage to destroy Windu's entire clone army. Without a lightsaber, Mace now has to assert himself against a large army of droids. He has to concentrate fully on the power that dictates his actions.

Meanwhile, chameleon-like droids try to blow up a sacred ice grotto on the Ilum ice world with a load of explosives. In this grotto the holy crystals that are necessary for a Jedi lightsaber are mined. Jedi Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee attempt to stop the droids, but fail and are buried in an explosion. Yoda , who is very close on board Padmé's ship, can sense the difficulties of the two Jedi and decides to help them. Padmé's security officer, Captain Typho, believes it is too dangerous to travel to Ilum. But Padmé is worried for the lives of the two buried Jedi himself and together they travel to Ilum to save Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee. On Ilum, Yoda must first destroy a unit of droids before he can enter the sacred grotto.

Padmé is worried about Yoda, who went to the ice grotto all by himself. Together with the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO, she decides to leave the ship and find Yoda. As they approach the grotto, a group of droid soldiers comes towards them. Yoda has now penetrated the grotto and freed the trapped Jedi.

Asajj Ventress sneakily destroyed Anakin's ship and his cloning unit. Finally Anakin finds his assassin and a turbulent lightsaber duel begins. Ventress proves to be a worthy opponent of Anakin. His nerves start rotating. Anakin attacks his opponent in a rage. The fight comes to an end at the Massassi Temple when Anakin drops Ventress down the cliff. On Muunilinst, Obi-Wan and his troops celebrate the successful field march against the separatists. When Anakin returns, Obi-Wan reprimands him for disobeying his instructions.
