Showdown at Toydaria / Legends A showdown occurred on the planet Toydaria between Jedi Generals Obi - Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker and Count Dooku ' s new Dark Acolyte , Savage Opress . Another duel occurred in orbit between Dooku , Opress and the Nightsister Asajj Ventress , and later , another duel between Opress , Kenobi and Skywalker . In addition , Ventress and Dooku also had another brief skirmish . Opress , under orders from his new master , went to Toydaria in order to kidnap King Katuunko alive . Unfortunately for the Confederacy of Independent Systems , the mission was in shambles when Opress killed Katuunko in a rage and presented the body to Dooku , causing the Dark Lord to get very angry and punish him severely . The confrontation continued over Toydaria aboard Dooku ' s Separatist dreadnaught , where Dooku ' s former apprentice , Asajj Ventress , attempted to exact revenge on her old Master with the help of Opress , who was under her control . However , Opress turned on both Dooku and Ventress , and while Ventress pursued Dooku , Opress dueled with Kenobi and Skywalker , who had arrived to eliminate him . The showdown ended when both Ventress and Opress escaped their pursuers alive , while the Jedi also fled from the cruiser . The battle . On the surface . When Savage Opress arrived , a trio of Toydarian guards was patrolling the landing platform . The moment Opress exited his ship , he ignited his lightsaber and quickly dispatched the first two guards before using the Force to strangle the third , throwing him against the palace entrance . The king was informed of the attack and ordered his palace guards to stop the assailant . Bursting down the door to the throne room , Opress entered the palace and killed all the guards present . Taking an elevator platform , the Zabrak raised himself face to face with the King Despite being alone with the Dark Acolyte , Katuunko stood firm and refused to be intimidated by the brutal show of force , drawing his sword and preparing to fight . Meanwhile , acting on a tip from Mother Talzin , Kenobi and Skywalker touched down on the landing platform . Back inside the throne room , the Toydarian king managed to elude his adversary ' s first few strikes , but Opress quickly slashed the King ' s sword in two . Katuunko , making a bid for escape , attempted to fly over his attacker . However , Savage managed to grab hold of his quarry ' s leg and slam him into a wall , knocking him unconscious . With his prisoner over his shoulder , the Sith turned to leave , only to be confronted by Kenobi and Skywalker , who had entered the palace . The two Jedi sprinted onto two elevators that flanked the kidnapper and were lifted up high about the palace floor . Jumping onto Kenobi ' s platform , Opress made a few quick strikes . Kenobi evaded the attack and leapt backwards onto an adjacent elevator as Skywalker used the Force to ram an unoccupied lift into Opress ' s foothold . The impact , however , succeeded in rousing Katuunko and enabled him to struggle free of Opress ' s grip . Distracted by his prize , Opress turned to recapture him . This momentary lapse allowed Kenobi and Skywalker to leap down and tackle Savage , deactivating his lightsaber . As the Katuunko flew towards the exit , Opress held out his hand , and began to Force choke the king . Despite the Jedis ' best efforts to stop him , the Dark Acolyte was able to strike them both in the face before crushing Katuunko ' s neck , killing him instantly . Summoning his strength , Opress shot to his feet , throwing Kenobi and Skywalker high into the air . At the last moment , Skywalker grabbed the edge of one of the lifts with his former Master dangling from his feet , high above the floor . Opress seized the opportunity and jumped on the same platform , stomping on Skywalker ' s fingers and forcing the two Jedi to plummet to the ground . Savage then attempted to finish the pair off by stabbing the platform and bringing it crashing down onto the men below . At the last possible moment , Kenobi and Skywalker used the Force to slow the elevator enough to soften its impact . Quickly leaving his foes behind , Opress took hold of Katuunko ' s lifeless body and dragged him out to his waiting ship . After throwing the corpse into his ship , Opress used the force to push the shuttle , that had carried the Jedi , over the edge of the landing platform . Opress then boarded his starship and escaped with the King ' s body . Inside the palace , Kenobi and Skywalker pushed the collapsed lift off of them and ran , lightsabers at the ready , to the platform . Once there , however , they found their ship destroyed and the Sith gone . But , not yet giving up , Kenobi spotted Katuunko ' s personal star yacht , " Thief ' s Eye " , which the pair commandeered . Battle in space . Meanwhile , above the planet , a Providence - class carrier / destroyer awaited Savage Opress ' s arrival . The Zabrak landed his ship in the carrier ' s hangar bay and brought the body of Katuunko to Count Dooku . Angered by his apprentice ' s failure to kidnap the king alive , the Sith Lord struck Savage with a bolt of Force lightning . Savage , doubled over in pain , begged his master for forgiveness , to which Dooku replied that forgiveness was not the way of the Dark Side . Shocking the weakened Savage again , the door to the ship ' s bridge opened and Asajj Ventress stood in the doorway . Shocked by the return of the apprentice he thought dead , Dooku ignited his lightsaber and told Savage that he could redeem himself for his failure on Toydaria by killing the witch . Ventress , however , was unimpressed by this and calmly walked up to Savage , placing her finger on his forehead and reawakening his loyalty to her . Both assailants then turned and activated their own lightsabers , preparing to duel . During the confrontation on the bridge , the Toydarian ship piloted by Kenobi and Skywalker streaked towards the Separatist dreadnought . Kenobi speculated that this had been a plot by Dooku to exact revenge on Katuunko for his refusal to join the Confederacy . The pair landed the ship in the hangar and quickly ran to find Savage , dispatching three B1 battle droids in the process . Back on the bridge , Ventress made the first move , lashing out ferociously at her former master . Dooku easily blocked her strikes and kicked her aside . It was then that Savage lunged into the battle . Recovering herself , Ventress stood and attacked with Savage simultaneously , but Dooku was still able to block or avoid every blow before kicking Ventress to the ground again . Attacking alone and with much force , Savage swung wildly at the Sith Lord . Dooku , a master of lightsaber dueling , simply evaded every swing without even parrying . But , on the last downward chop , the Count was forced to block and the strength behind the blow sent him flying across the room , knocking the lightsaber from his hand . Ventress , who had gotten back to her feet , ordered Opress to kill Dooku . However , as Opress raised his blade to strike down the man , Dooku unleashed a blast of Force lightning and threw the Nightbrother across the room . The Sith Lord then attempted to recover his lightsaber with a Force Pull , but his former apprentice managed to pull it as well , sending it flying to another part of the bridge . Without his lightsaber , all Dooku could do was dodge and evade as Ventress hacked and slashed at him with her blades . Opress once again tried to strike down the Sith but was quickly sidestepped and shocked with lightning a second time . As he continued to electrocute the Zabrak , Ventress swung her blades at Dooku , who ducked away and pulled his lightsaber back into his hand . The two continued to duel as Opress recovered . Standing up , the Nightbrother attempted to lunge at Dooku , only to be greeted by another blast of Force lightning . Ventress , disgusted at his weakness , repeatedly ordered him to kill Dooku , but each time he made an attack , he was electrocuted . When Opress admitted that Dooku was too strong , Ventress became even more enraged , saying that his lack of ability would not be her undoing . Dooku responded that a failed apprentice made for an awful teacher . Opress , torn between his loyalty to Ventress and his inability to defeat Dooku , roared in fury and used the force to choke both of them , lifting them off the ground . Dooku and Ventress both struggled helplessly as Opress threw them both across the room , slamming them into the wall . As the pair got to their feet , Opress lunged in and began to attack them both , striking at them and again throwing them about . Momentarily ceasing their duel , Dooku and Ventress retaliated with a blast of lightning and a powerful push . The truce did not last long , however , as the Count attempted to electrocute Ventress , who absorbed the bolts into her lightsaber . Seeing his chance to escape , Dooku opened a hatch in the floor and leapt down it , followed by Ventress who sealed it behind her . Just as Opress was about to cut through the hatch , Obi - Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker ran into the bridge . Planning on attacking together , the Jedi started to approach the Dark Acolyte . Opress turned towards the both of them , charged , and with a load roar , Force pushed them hard out into the hallway . The two Jedi hit the wall and dropped their lightsabers , deactivating them . In the corridors below the bridge , the duel between Dooku and Ventress continued . After a few moments of strikes and parries , Dooku managed to jerk Ventress ' s lightsabers from her hands with the Force , before subjecting her to a blast of electricity . Standing over his wounded foe , Dooku raised his blade and stabbed downward ; trying to finish the job he had failed to do once before . But , just as the blade was about to pierce her , Ventress Force pushed the blade , causing it to miss her by inches and , instead , stab into a steam line . The steam burst forth from the pipe and into the Count ' s face , blinding him for a moment . Ventress seized the opportunity and recovered her lightsabers before diving into an escape pod and jettisoning to safety . Unable to pursue the woman who had escaped him for a second time , Dooku ordered the battle droids on the ship to destroy Savage Opress . Moments after the order was received , Opress and the pair of Jedi , still locked in battle , entered the hangar . The droids immediately began to fire on both sides of the fight , but Skywalker noted that they seemed to be concentrating on Opress . B1 and B2 battle droids , as well as a few Droidekas , encircled the Zabrak and fired on him , scoring numerous hits . In an attempt to escape , Opress let loose a Force Shockwave , knocking back the droids and Jedi . Opress managed to limp back to his ship and take off , leaving behind the Kenobi and Skywalker , who soon escaped as well . Aftermath . Following the battle , Savage Opress returned to Dathomir , where he spoke with Mother Talzin . Feeling that he was betrayed by Ventress and knowing the Jedi were after him , he lamented over his weakness . Mother Talzin , however , reassured him that he would become stronger . At first , Opress did not believe her , pointing out that he no longer had anyone to teach him . Mother Talzin then told him of his long lost brother , Darth Maul , who was living in exile in the Outer Rim . When Opress asked how to find his brother , Mother Talzin gave him a talisman that would act as a compass to lead him to his brother .
