Battle of Gwori The Battle of Gwori was a battle during the Clone Wars in which Anakin Skywalker had to pinpoint the location of a Confederate shipyard on Gwori . Once there he had to call on a bomber strike to destroy it . However , his Padawan , Ahsoka Tano sneaked aboard the mission when she wasn ' t supposed to . Together , and with help from Obi - Wan Kenobi , they not not only had the bombers destroy the shipyards , but they freed a number of experienced ship builders . Prelude . After suffering a major defeat at Nexus Ortai , the Republic decided to attack the shipyards at Gwori , under the command of the Muun overseer , Juhm . However , there was a problem , the planet was protected by a blockade of Munificent - class star frigates . The droids had also developed a machine that scanned all ships and eradicated any biological lifeforms on - board , meaning only droids could pass through harmlessly . To get round this Anakin Skywalker proposed that he , Obi - Wan Kenobi and a small squad of Clone troopers freeze themselves in carbonite in order to bypass the Separatist blockade and survive the eradication beam , as they would not register as life - forms on the droids scanners . R2 - D2 would pilot a transport ship containing the frozen team . Against Skywalker ' s instructions his Padawan Ahsoka Tano also had herself frozen in carbonite to join him on the mission . Once there , Anakin and the attack group would deliver the shipyard coordinates to Jedi Masters Plo Koon and Saesee Tiin so they could lead a bombing run on the shipyards . The battle . Upon arriving at Gwori R2 - D2 piloted the Freighter VX - 391 , via a hacked battle droid and joined a convoy of other transport ships approaching the shipyards . Using the battle droid as a puppet to communicate with the scanning gate , R2 successfully piloted the ship through . Unfortunately at that moment Juhm contacted the scanning gate about an irregularity in the convoy . The droids had just assumed that they extra ship was just a miscount by a Plunk Droid , despite being warned of a Jedi attack . The droids suggested destroying all of the freighters as they could not identify which ship was the extra one . However this would cost too much and instead all the transport ships were ordered to change course to platform A - 61 , which all of the freighters did , expect R2 - D2 ' s as he did not know the way . Soon the freighter was attacked by Vulture Droids , luckily R2 was able to eject the frozen clones and Jedi and escape himself before the ship was destroyed . In order to bypass the Separatist blockade , the 2 Jedi masters and the Republic bombers would have to perform a Precision hyperspace jump . Little did they know that the shipyards were full of slaves . In the meantime , Skywalker , Kenobi , Tano , and Rex were captured . However , with the help of R2 - D2 , they escaped . Once the bombers arrived , the Jedi decided to escape on a Separatist frigate . However , the bombs took out their shields . Moments after Skywalker led the stolen frigate away from the shipyards , Tiin was about to blast it until Kenobi contacted him and told him not to . Plo Koon then ordered the bombers to strike the construction supports . Once they were done , the shipyards collapsed . The stolen frigate reached the blockade , but it was too big for an immediate hyperspace jump , and it was unable to fight its way out because it hadn ' t been fitted with armaments when it was stolen . Because their shields were disabled , Skywalker and Kenobi couldn ' t risk attracting the attention of the Vulture droids that were patrolling the area , and they had to obey the orders of the traffic controllers . The frigate was directed into the scanning station , but Juhm found out where it was and ordered the station to activate the radiation beam . However , Koon and Tiin opened fire on the station , putting the beam out of action . The frigate accelerated through just before the station exploded . Aftermath . The Jedi had escaped , the shipyards were destroyed , and Count Dooku ordered Asajj Ventress to kill Overseeer Juhm . Darth Sidious said that it was no major loss however . Back on Coruscant , Supreme Chancellor Palpatine had once again been impressed by Anakin ' s work . The ex - slaves now could build warships with fair pay and happiness . Behind the scenes . Note that Rex ' s armor lost its blue touch as Juhm tries to kill him and Ahsoka
