" To sabotage a powerful Separatist weapon , Obi - Wan and a small clone force enter an occupied town , and discover that its residents are being used as a living shield . " Plot summary . Aboard an " Acclamator " - class transgalactic military assault ship , Mace Windu tells Obi - Wan Kenobi as he boards the " Crumb Bomber " that when he takes the city of Nabat they ' ll have their landing zone for the ground assault forces . However , Wat Tambor anticipates this , and Tactical droid commander TX - 20 readies his five proton cannon s , while using captive Twi ' lek s as a “ living shield ” to further protect them , estimating that the Jedi will not risk a heavy attack . Obi - Wan and Clone Commander Cody brief Ghost Company on their mission , and while they must retake the city , they cannot destroy the Twi ' leks ’ home , and are only allowed to use blasters and droid poppers only . Above , the " Acclamator " assault ships are attacked by the proton cannons below , Commander Ponds states to Windu that the fire is penetrating their shield . Windu tasks Obi - Wan with taking the cannons out so that the larger transports can land . The " Crumb Bomber " lands with the other gunships , and Obi - Wan and Ghost Company move towards Nabat . Droid gunners on the outskirts of Nabat pin down Ghost Comapany . Obi - wan and two troopers , Waxer and Boil , utilize droid poppers to take out the droids in the bunkers . After losing contact with the droids on the village ’ s outer perimeter , TX - 20 sends two recon droids to find out the Jedi ’ s plan , while Obi - Wan dispatches Cody , Wooley , Waxer and Boil to scout ahead . Waxer and Boil head south , while Cody and Wooley go to the courtyard . The latter discover the Twi ’ leks being held hostage in the cannons ' immediate vicinity . Obi - Wan , saying to windu via hologram , that the hostages will make this difficult but not impossible , hits upon a plan to disable the guns without letting the hostages come into any danger , but unfortunately a recon droid broadcasts their conference to TX - 20 , who recognizes Kenobi and begins researching his opponent who is known for deceptive movements . Waxer and Boil stumble across the young Twi ’ lek orphan Numa , who at first is fearful of them . After they remove their helmets , Numa relaxes a bit ; she calls them both “ Nerra ” , and takes a ration bar that they give her . Waxer and Boil move out to finish their scouting , Waxer doing so reluctantly , but Numa follows the two clones . Waxer is still worried about her , while Boil tries to keep him focused on the mission . Numa somehow gets ahead of them and leads her to a shattered building that was once her home . Waxer and Boil , moved by the losses the war has inflicted upon the child , take it upon themselves to keep her safe . TX - 20 reveals his plan : to use starved gutkurr s to take out the Republic forces . Back at the Republic camp , Cody has noticed Waxer and Boil ’ s absence , and broadcasts a transmission to contact them . Seeing the Republic troops on the move , TX - 20 orders the gutkurrs released . The two clones receive the transmission , and realizing that they are severely late , they try to brainstorm possible excuses . However , the gutkurrs suddenly appear , and the two clones and Numa rush back into the house . Numa shows the clones an escape passage , and they run into the underground tunnels just in time . Meanwhile , Ghost Company is attacked by the gutkurrs . Obi - Wan uses the Force to lure the creatures into an alley bordered by a bridge . Cody and his men fire at the bridge , and the gutkurrs are trapped , while Obi - Wan leaps out . Though the clones defeat the creature , TX - 20 knows that they are very thin . Suddenly , Waxer and Boil emerge from a hatch in the street nearby , with Numa in tow . Obi - Wan converses to Numa in Twi ' leki , who agrees to lead them to the prisoners while Cody and his men create a diversion , with Obi - Wan , Waxer and Boil freeing the Twi ’ lek prisoners . After Obi - Wan frees the prisoners , Numa is reunited with her uncle , Nilim Bril . However , a battle droid reports the rescue attempt , and TX - 20 turns his AAT around . Obi - Wan takes control of a proton cannon , and with the help of Waxer and Boil , he manages to destroy the other cannons . However , a blast from TX - 20 ’ s tank destroys their cannon and knocks the three to the ground . Numa runs to her clone friends and huddles close to Obi - Wan , even as he tries to push her out of the line of fire . TX - 20 targets Obi - Wan and Numa , laughing evilly and gloating that Obi - Wan has lost . Incensed by the threat to Numa , the Twi ' leks rush out of hiding , swarm over the tank and tear TX - 20 to pieces with their bare hands - a possibility the hyper - intelligent droid has not foreseen , as evidenced by its last words , " does not compute . . . does not compute . . . ! " The " Acclamator " transports land , and Mace Windu commends Obi - Wan on his victory . However , their new objective is much harder : to take the Ryloth capital of Lessu and free this world . Waxer and Boil say goodbye to Numa . As the army heads toward the capital , Numa calls “ Nerra ! ” out to Waxer and Boil again , and Obi - Wan translates : “ Nerra ” means “ brother ” . Smiling , Waxer and Boil turn and wave back at Numa , before moving out toward the sun , intent on freeing this world . Behind the scenes . Production - wise , this is the first episode to feature the Tactical droids , which were created to provide a non - organic commander that would then need to be eliminated later , such as the likes of Whorm Loathsom , Lok Durd and Mar Tuuk . The Tactical droids were also featured in " Jedi Crash " , " The Hidden Enemy " and " Liberty on Ryloth " , as well as the comic " " , in which they made their first appearance . TX - 20 ' s laugh before he is about to kill Obi - Wan is very much like the " Terminator " theme . When Obi - Wan Kenobi orders Cody to send in Waxer and Boil to destroy the bunker , Boil is sitting next to Obi - Wan Kenobi , but when he is saying " let ' s take them out " , a clone trooper with no markings on his armor is sitting next to Obi - Wan Kenobi instead . Commander Cody hands Obi - Wan his lightsaber after he defeats the Gutkurrs , just like he did during the Battle of Utapau in " .
