Battle of Utapau / Legends The Battle of Utapau was one of the final battles of the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and Confederacy of Independent Systems , and was one of the last battles of the Outer Rim Sieges . It would prove pivotal due to the death of General Grievous at the hands of Obi - Wan Kenobi . This was the last major battle before the destruction of the Jedi Order and the fall of the Republic . Prelude . After three years of fighting , the Galactic Republic began to gain an advantage over the Confederacy of Independent Systems , many of whose leaders were dead , with the most recent being founding Head of State Count Dooku . Republic Clone Intelligence soon managed to discover the location of General Grievous , who succeeded Dooku as Head of State . Jedi General Obi - Wan Kenobi organized a fleet of " Venator " - class Star Destroyers carrying an army of clones large enough to capture three star systems , led by clone Commander Cody . Some members of the famed 501st Legion were among the clones in Kenobi ' s force , tasked to set up perimeter defenses around Hangar 10 . Making contact . Kenobi arrived on Utapau in his Eta - 2 " Actis " - class interceptor under pretense of refueling his ship . He was greeted by Tion Medon , the Port Administrator of Pau City , observed from a distance by one of Grievous ' MagnaGuards . Medon revealed that the city was being used as a hiding place by Grievous and his army of battle droids . Not only that , but the droid army was aware of his presence and had ordered Medon to tell Kenobi of their position here . Kenobi sent the droid R4 - G9 fly back to the forces and inform the clones of the situation , but he stayed in Pau City to engage Grievous . Kenobi commandeered a varactyl beast named Boga as a mount , and rode in secret to the tenth level of Pau City , where Medon had told him the Separatists were hiding . Infiltrating Hangar 10 of the " Lucrehulk " core ship " Unlimited Projection " that served as the Separatists " de - facto " command center , he went to a platform overlooking the hangar where he witnessed a meeting of the Separatist Council . Engaging Grievous . During the meeting with the Separatist leaders , Grievous informed them that he expected an attack by the Republic and was therefore moving them to the planet Mustafar . After the Separatist Council departed , Kenobi revealed himself . Dropping from the catwalk above the hangar , he was immediately surrounded by battle droids and confronted by four of Grievous ' IG - 100 MagnaGuards . Kenobi defeated them quickly , using the Force to dislodge a cargo module hanging from the ceiling and crush three of them , and casually decapitating the lone survivor . Grievous ' troops prepared to open fire on Kenobi , but Grievous called them off . Wanting to challenge Kenobi himself , despite the fact the he was still recuperating from the injury recently dealt by Mace Windu , the cyborg split his arms along their lengths into four separate appendages . Drawing four lightsabers , he then spun them rapidly in a buzzsaw motion and advanced on Kenobi . However , Kenobi slowly retreating before the General before thrusting his lightsaber into the swirling energy blades , engaging Grievous in a spectacular , though brief , display of swordsmanship . Grievous unleashed a flurry of unpredictable attacks and blows , ramping up the attack until he was demonstrating over twenty blows per second . However , he remained unable to penetrate Kenobi ' s defense , so he ramped up his attacks even further . Kenobi , his defense finally beginning to get overloaded , altered the angle of one of his parries . Instead of intercepting Grievous ' blade , Kenobi ' s blade sliced the cyborg ' s left lower wrist . Staring in surprise at his smoking stump , Grievous lunged in another attack . After another brief bout of fencing , another of Grievous ' lightsabers , still clutched in his lower right metal hand , bounced on the deck . At that moment , Cody and the clone army arrived . While Kenobi and Grievous battled , several dozen clones managed to infiltrate the " Unlimited Projection " and they quickly attacked the droid soldiers . The battle . Clone cavalry . Commander Cody led the 212th Attack Battalion in the assault on the Separatist forces in Pau City , aided by native warriors who also wished to drive the Separatists away . Two battalions attacked full force , with the third in reserve to provide reinforcements and cover escape routes . Hailfire droids attempted to repel the clones quickly , but they were destroyed by the clone flagship , " Vigilance " . Troopers of the 501st captured several security posts in the Utapaun cities themselves , linking up with Kenobi in the " Unlimited Projection " hangar . Once they took down two AA turrets , heavy LAAT / i firepower support wiped out droids in the hangar . They dealt a final blow by taking out a large CIS power complex , leaving the troops in Utapau in disarray . Grievous in retreat . When the Republic forces arrived , Grievous prepared to resume the duel , advancing on his opponent , as well as inferring that Kenobi was doomed whether he had an army or not . However , Kenobi Force Pushed the general , sending him flying up and crashing against the ceiling . Dropping his two remaining lightsabers as he plummeted to the hangar floor , an unarmed Grievous was forced to flee . He crawled insect - like to his wheel bike and mounted it , speeding out of the hangar and dropping to the lower levels of the city , crushing everything in his path as he raced towards the docking platform where his private ship waited . Kenobi pursued on his varactyl , Boga , but lost his lightsaber after the jarring impact on the way down , the lightsaber eventually landing at the feet of Commander Cody . Cody later informed the Jedi Council members about Kenobi ' s current pursuit and battle with Grievous . Mace Windu then had Anakin Skywalker deliver the news to Chancellor Palpatine to gauge a reaction regarding the latter party , although he and the other Council members secretly voiced their suspicions regarding Palpatine ' s intentions . Ki - Adi - Mundi mentioned the possibility that Palpatine would have to forcibly removed from office should he refuse to give up his emergency powers . Windu , however , acknowledged that it may be tricky especially when in order to pull that off , the Jedi Council would need to take control of the Senate to ensure a peaceful transition for the resulting new government and leadership for the Republic . Yoda acknowledged they must take grave care since their current plan ' s taking them to a dark place . Kenobi pursued Grievous in a furious chase through the streets of Pau City as the battle raged around them . As Kenobi caught up to the General , Grievous thrust at Boga with an electrostaff he stashed in the wheelbike . Kenobi managed to grab hold of the shaft of the weapon and wrench it from the cyborg ' s hands . Kenobi then attempted to destroy the wheels on Grievous ' vehicle with it before attacking the General himself with it . Grievous managed to regain hold of it , and pulled it back , and Kenobi along with it . As the two grappled for control of the wheel bike , Grievous pulled out a blaster and attempted to shoot Kenobi , though the Jedi evaded the shots . Unfortunately , Kenobi ' s movements off - balanced the wheelbike , causing it to flip as they arrived at Grievous ' landing platform . While they were thrown off , the bike skidded off the platform and fell into the sink hole below . The death of Grievous . The two opponents recovered quickly , Kenobi brandishing the electrostaff against the blaster - wielding Grievous . Disarming the General , Kenobi began unleashing a series of jabs against the cyborg ' s torso , knocking Grievous over . Grievous retaliated with a kick that threw Kenobi across the platform . As Kenobi regained his feet , Grievous closed the distance , engaging Kenobi in a melee . While Grievous ' mechanical exoskeleton provided him with a clear advantage , Kenobi managed to pry apart the armorplast plates protecting Grievous ' internal organs before being thrown to the ground . Kenobi counter - attacked by kicking Grievous ' s leg , but only injured himself against the hard durasteel . Grievous grabbed Kenobi by the collar and threw him across the platform , with Kenobi barely managing to grab onto the edge . Grievous retrieved the electrostaff and advanced on Kenobi to deliver the killing blow . Desperately hanging from the edge , Kenobi used the Force to summon Grievous ' blaster to his hand . Blasting through the gaps in the general ' s armorplast chest plates at the exposed organs , he ignited the tissue . Grievous ' internal organs combusted violently , painfully killing the Separatist general , although Obi - Wan personally felt disgusted that he was forced to use a blaster to do so , citing it as " so uncivilized . " Grievous ' s death was later reported to the Jedi Council , with Mace Windu preparing to go to Palpatine ' s office to inform him of this development in the hopes that he lay down his emergency powers , until Anakin revealed Palpatine ' s stance as not just a Sith Lord , but also the one they had been looking for since the Battle of Naboo : Darth Sidious . Continued fighting . Despite the destruction of the Droid Control antennae aboard the " Unlimited Projection " , the droid army continued fighting . However , they were hammered into submission by the persistent fire of the LAAT gunships . Hangar 10 was secured by the 501st . Anti - aircraft turrets stationed in the hangar opened fire on the incoming LAAT reinforcements dropping off tanks in the hangar , but the 501st disabled the threat . From the hangar , they launched an attack on another Confederate outpost with TX - 130S fighter tanks . The outpost was pelted by LAATs and hover tanks and was destroyed . The destruction of the CIS main ATX energy pillar assisted a rousing Republic victory . Kenobi , astride Boga , rejoined the clones , having his lightsaber returned to him by Cody before charging up a cliff ledge towards the Separatist headquarters . Order 66 . It was then that Cody received a message from Darth Sidious , instructing him to execute Order 66 . Cody ordered an AT - TE walker to fire its main cannon at Obi - Wan , who was ascending the cliff heading up to the Separatist headquarters . Boga somehow sensed the danger and jumped in front of the shot , saving Kenobi , who fell into the sinkhole below . Cody dispatched probe droids to the sinkhole floor find the Jedi ' s body and ascertain whether he was dead or alive . However , Cody ' s probes were devoured by the local cave - monsters , which Kenobi had Force - tricked into believing were actually delicacies . Kenobi then used stealth and discreet violence to make his way up to Pau City and to Grievous ' starfighter . He then fled Utapau . Aftermath . The clones , after a long period of fighting , eventually triumphed in Pau City . However , as the Separatists controlled other sinkhole cities on Utapau — as to control the entire planet — the fighting would continue until the deactivation of the droid army by Darth Vader on Mustafar a short period of time later . Behind the scenes . In the , the Utapau levels of the game totally disregard Boga . Also , Grievous is killed after being stabbed in the gut by Kenobi and roasted as his armor malfunctioned . During the Order 66 level , the clones fire at Kenobi from a LAAT rather then firing an AT - TE cannon at him , which would result in Kenobi retreating through the battlefield , killing many clones and walkers and disabling a Juggernaut . In " " , the battle is almost completely omitted . The only scene depicted in the game from the battle was Obi - Wan ' s duel with Grievous . Obi - Wan lands on the planet and meets up with Cody ; after a long duel , Cody runs up to Grievous in an attempt to shoot him . However , Grievous disarms and subsequently kills Cody . Kenobi is also disarmed . He lunges for Cody ' s blaster and narrowly dodges Grievous ' blow . Kenobi shoots Grievous in the chest , killing him .
