Wondering where it was going , they climb a giant tree and notice a recently built , heavily guarded Separatist communication base . Anakin notices a shuttle , but the base is too well guarded . Also , they see the Separatists deploying some form of artillery , which Rex and Bly decide to scout up . Lok announces to his droids that he had developed a defoliator , capable of destroying organic life while leaving non - organics unharmed . The weapon is test - fired , leaving the droids assigned to the test intact , but destroying the local vegetation in a wide area and almost Rex and Bly as well . Lok declares the test a success , but Dooku suggests that it would be best to test the defoliator on living targets , like the Lurmen . Anakin predicts that the Separatists are headed for the Lurmen , so he tells everyone that they will take out the communications station , steal the shuttle and then return to help the Lurmen .

However , Tee Watt Kaa refuses to fight , holding onto their people ' s beliefs even if it means their death , despite Wag Too ' s pleas that they must at least defend themselves . The Jedi and clones use giant pods to build a barricade around the village and set up the shield generators , despite Tee Watt Kaa stubborn protests . A defoliator round is fired at the village , but the shield protects the village , which forces Lok to send his troops forward . The Jedi and clones then go outside to meet their foes . They manage to fend off the first wave , but the second wave of droids gets behind the shield and destroys the generators . Defying his father , Wag Too and his friends engage the droids , toppling them down to be decapitated . Meanwhile , Anakin destroys the defoliator cannon and slices his way to Lok , capturing him through levitation . As Anakin and his companions prepare to leave , Wag Too and Tee Watt Kaa offer their thanks . However , the elder says , " I still wonder , at what cost ? " as the " Resolute " and two other Republic cruisers appear in the sky .
