302: ARC Troopers: Episode Guide

"Fighting a war tests a soldier's skills, defending his home tests a soldier's heart."

Preview: The Republic learns of an impending Separatist attack on Kamino, and Anakin and Obi-Wan hurry to the planet. After the Republic repulses the Separatists' diversionary assault, the real attack begins. Asajj Ventress, General Grievous and an army of droids rise out of the oceans, bent on destroying Kamino's clone production facilities. Rex, Cody, Fives and Echo lead the clones in a desperate defense of their home planet. 

Greatest Scene: When the clones fight the droids in the barracks. As 99 provides ammo, the clones take out the droids one by one. When the droids are in position the clones begin the ambush. The clone cadets begin to battle the droids from behind while Commander Cody, Capitan Rex, Fives and Echo battle the droids from their forward position. When the clones run out of ammo 99 tries to get some more but gets shot by the droids. 99 sacrifices his life and proves himself a real soldier.
