R2 Come Home
- Part 2 of 3 part story that introduces Boba Fett
- Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu investigate the wreck of the Endurance looking for survivors; they are unaware that Boba Fett and other bounty hunters have already beaten them to the punch, captured a few of the survivors, killed the rest, and left a booby trapped Mandalorean helmet on the bridge
- Anakin falls for the traps and they only survive thanks to Windu's quick thinking, but still wind up trapped on the bridge beneath lots of rubble; Anakin sends R2 for help but first he has to deal with Boba Fett, Aurra Singh, and another bounty hunter who are looking for evidence that Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu are dead
- Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu try using the force to free themselves but quickly realize they risk bringing the whole ship down on themselves
- Windu killed Boba Fett's father, Jango Fett, which is why Boba Fett is so determined to kill him
- in the end R2 manages to get to Ahsoka Tano and others to come retrieve Anakin and Windu; but the bounty hunters escape with the other prisoners
- so far, by far the best story of the back third of season 2; kind of good to see Anakin humbled
