Mission to Kamino ( Separatist Crisis ) / Legends In 22 BBY , Jedi Knight Obi - Wan Kenobi went to the planet Kamino on a mission to find the bounty hunter responsible for the plot to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo . Kenobi was informed by the Prime Minister of Kamino , Lama Su , that a bounty hunter named Jango Fett lived in Tipoca City , the capital city of Kamino . After Kenobi questioned Fett about the plot , Fett attempted to escape from Kamino with his clone son , Boba Fett . Kenobi confronted Fett and engaged him near " Slave I " , Fett ' s starship . During the duel , Kenobi managed to knock both twin blasters out of Fett ' s hands . Kenobi , however , lost his lightsaber , and as he used the Force to pull it back to him , Fett used his whipcord launcher , to yank Kenobi ' s hands away . The two fought hand - to - hand on the wet surface platform until Kenobi kicked Fett , which caused the bounty hunter to lose his footing and fall off the platform . Kenobi , who was still tied to Fett ' s whipcord , was pulled off the platform behind him . Fett disconnected the whipcord that held Kenobi , and the Jedi fell down towards the ocean as Fett retreated back to his ship . The Jedi used the Force to secure himself with the cable Fett released , and swung towards a door below the platform they had dueled on . Fett boarded his ship as his son took off , while Kenobi rushed back out onto the platform . Kenobi located his lightsaber and ignited it , but " Slave I " had lifted off from the platform . Kenobi took out a tracking device from his belt and threw it onto the hull of the ship . Soon after , Kenobi tracked the pair to the Outer Rim planet of Geonosis , in his Delta - 7 Jedi Starfighter and engaged Fett once more in the asteroid field above Geonosis . Prelude . In 22 BBY , the Jedi High Council gave Jedi Knight Obi - Wan Kenobi a mission to find the bounty hunter responsible for the plot to assassinate Senator Padmé Amidala of Naboo . While his Padawan , Anakin Skywalker , had been given an assignment by the Council to protect Amidala on Naboo , Kenobi went to see his old friend , the Besalisk Dexter Jettster — nicknamed Dex — in Dex ' s Diner , to find more information about a toxic dart that the Jedi had taken from the body of Clawdite assassin Zam Wesell , who had been shot with the dart and killed before she could release information about the plot to assassinate Amidala . Dex told Kenobi that the dart belonged to the Kaminoans , a species who lived in the Wild Space , beyond the Outer Rim . After he left the diner , Kenobi , with the assistance of Jedi Librarian Jocasta Nu , used the Jedi Archives to find the planet of Kamino , which was missing from the archives , suggesting that it didn ' t exist . Troubled , Kenobi decided to discuss the issue with Jedi Grand Master Yoda . Yoda was instructing Bear Clan , a group of younglings . One of them , J . K . Burtola , suggested that Kamino had been erased from the archives , and Yoda told Kenobi to travel to the coordinates . Kenobi found Kamino where the coordinates said it should be , near the Rishi Maze . He landed on the rainy , oceanic planet and was greeted by Kaminoan Taun We , who took Kenobi to the Prime Minister , Lama Su . Su told Kenobi about a clone army that they had created for the Republic and to tell the Jedi Master Sifo - Dyas that the order will be shipped on schedule , confusing Kenobi as the Jedi Master had been dead for a decade . The two Kaminoans revealed that the host was a bounty hunter named Jango Fett . Taun We took Kenobi to Fett ' s living quarters in Kamino ' s capital , Tipoca City . Fett ' s genetically unaltered clone child , Boba Fett , allowed Taun We and the Jedi to enter . Jango soon approached the group , and We introduced the Jedi . Kenobi subtly interrogated Fett about the plot to assassinate Amidala , but Fett did not reveal any information . Fett , however , told Boba to close a closet door which contained his Mandalorian armor before answering his questions . He also denied knowledge of Sifo - Dyas , stating that he had been recruited by a man named Tyranus . As We and Kenobi exited Fett ' s quarters , Fett and his son prepared to leave Kamino immediately . Kenobi contacted Yoda and Jedi Master Mace Windu , and reported his discoveries , including that Sifo - Dyas had somehow managed to order a clone army for the Republic despite being dead . Yoda demanded that Kenobi bring Fett back to the galactic capital of Coruscant for further investigation . Windu also asked another Jedi to assist Kenobi . Duel . While loading cargo onto their starship , " Slave I " , the Fetts prepared to leave Kamino , but Kenobi ran out onto the landing platform where " Slave I " was docked . Kenobi ' s presence alerted young Boba , who shouted to his father that the Jedi found them . Kenobi ignited his lightsaber , which forced Jango to pull out his twin WESTAR - 34 blaster pistols and open fire on the Jedi . As Kenobi deflected Jango ' s blaster fire , the bounty hunter ignited his jetpack and hid himself on top of a lighting fixture . Unbeknownst to Kenobi , Jango fired the jetpack ' s missile at the Jedi , which exploded nearby , causing Kenobi to lose his lightsaber . Inside " Slave I " cockpit , Boba activated the starship ' s heavy twin blaster cannons and fired towards Kenobi . The shots hit nearby , and Kenobi was thrown backwards across the platform . Jango reemerged from the fixture and flew towards Kenobi , who Force Jump ed and kicked Fett , knocking the bounty hunter to the ground , and causing him to loose both of his blasters . As the two engaged in hand - to - hand combat , Jango tried to grab onto the Jedi . With a quick kick at the bounty hunter ' s helmet , Jango was forced to release Kenobi . Upon regaining his feet , Fett stood up and head - butted Kenobi with his helmet , causing Kenobi to fall back onto the platform . The Jedi noticed his lightsaber near the edge of the platform and tried to call it to him . Jango shot his whipcord launcher at the Jedi , and the cord wrapped around the Jedi ' s outstretched hand and yanked him away from his lightsaber , dragging him across the platform . Kenobi tangled the whipcord around a lighting fixture , causing Jango to crash onto the platform . The jetpack was released from his armor and exploded nearby . Standing up , the bounty hunter grabbed onto one of his fallen blasters and fired at Kenobi , who was running towards Jango . Kenobi kicked Jango off the platform , and then realized that he was still connected to the whipcord around his hands . Kenobi was flipped onto the side of the platform and slid down towards Jango . Desperate to save his life , Jango activated a series of grappling tools on his arm and dug them into the platform to slow down his fall . Kenobi , however , slid past Jango and off over the edge of the platform , where he dangled , held by the whipcord . As Jango ' s grappling tools were failing due to the added weight , Jango released the whipcord , causing Kenobi to freefall down towards the ocean . Using the Force , Kenobi managed to throw the cord and attach it onto a structure below the platform . After making sure that the Jedi was nowhere to be seen , Jango used his grappling tools to crawl back to the top of the platform . Meanwhile , Kenobi flipped onto a ramp and reentered the city to catch up to Jango , who was boarding " Slave I " . Kenobi reemerged onto the platform and quickly recovered his lightsaber . Both Fetts , however , were aboard " Slave I " , which was now lifting off , and Kenobi to threw a homing beacon onto the side of the starship ' s hull . Aftermath . After Jango and Boba Fett left Kamino , Kenobi boarded his Delta - 7 Jedi Starfighter and tracked " Slave I " in the Geonosis system . Once more , Kenobi engaged Fett over the asteroid field above the planet . After the conflict , Kenobi learned more of the assassination attempt on Amidala on Geonosis when he intercepted Jango and Count Dooku . Kenobi tried to contact his padawan , Anakin Skywalker , however he was not on Naboo . After he found out that Anakin disobeyed him , he contacted his apprentice on Tatooine and told him to redirect his message to Coruscant . Kenobi told Windu , Yoda and Supreme Chancellor Palpatine about how he tracked Jango Fett to a Droid foundry on Geonosis . The newly formed Separatist Council , and Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray is behind the assassination attempt on Amidala . Kenobi was then captured by Dooku ' s Geonosian workers and was held captive until the arrival of Skywalker and Amidala , whom attempted to rescue him , though they were captured as well . The First Battle of Geonosis , the first battle of the Clone Wars , began after the arrival of Windu and his Jedi strike team . Fett engaged Windu during the battle , and was killed after the Jedi Master used Sai cha to decapitate the bounty hunter .
