During the Great Jedi Purge, Emperor Palpatine's Clone troopers attack the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. As the Jedi Purge rages, Palpatine remarks that this is his best birthday ever. On Kashyyyk, Jedi Master Yoda and the Wookiees flee several Clone scout troopers intent on executing Order 66. Yoda manages to commandeer an AT-RT walker and warns Obi-Wan Kenobi that the Clone army has turned on them.

Now that Darth Vader has recovered the Jedi holocrons, Luke Skywalker and his rebel friends are on the run. Stormtroopers march into the Mos Eisley Cantina. One of them hands the droid-hating Wuher a 1970s still photo of Luke, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Chewbacca. The bartender denies seeing them.

On Dagobah, Yoda and the Force ghost of Obi-Wan Kenobi contact the former Sith clone Jek-14 by hologram. Jek, who is on Naboo, warns them that Darth Vader has recovered the Jedi holocrons. Kenobi fears about the terrible things that the Emperor can do with them.

Jek-14 has been attacked by Darth Vader while on his way to retirement. Following a brief pursuit, Jek uses his droid arm to destroy the pursuing TIE fighters. He then transforms them into a giant baseball bat and whacks Darth Vader's TIE Advanced fighter away.
