History Recap / StarWarsTheCloneWarsS1E14DefendersOfPeace

* OutrunTheFireball: During the first Defoliator test, Rex and Bly end up having to flee the advancing wall of fire and shoot grappling lines back into the tree they climbed earlier. Rex manages, but Bly trips on a stick on the ground just as he's firing his line and has to be rescued by Aayla.
* PyrrhicVictory: The heroes defeated the invading Separatists and saved the Lurmen village with help of Wag Too and the younger villagers. However, Tee Watt Kaa can't help but wonder "at what cost?" as Republic ships appear in the sky.

There's no more time to waste. Come nightfall, the Jedi and clones attack the Separatist base, destroy all of the battle droids there, and steal the shuttle and shield generators. They return to the Lurmen village and explain the situation to Tee Watt Kaa. He refuses to let them defend the village, so they ignore him and set up a barricade and the shield generators anyway.

* DramaticIrony: The droid commander tells Lok Durd that the search of the village found no weapons or Republic contraband. If the Separatist droids had been a few minutes faster...

* HandicappedBadass: Anakin is somewhat slower than usual because he hasn't completely recovered from the injuries he sustained last episode. However, he's still plenty badass.

* SuicidalPacifism: Tee Watt Kaa refuses to fight, even under the threat of his village's destruction. His son and the other younger residents of the village don't share this view.

Still recovering from his injuries, Anakin, along with Ahsoka, Aayla Secura, Captain Rex and Commander Bly, are forced to leave the Lurmen village in a hurry due to the sudden arrival of Separatist forces. Village leader Tee Watt Kaa tells the Separatist general Lok Durd that the villagers won't fight the droid forces because it isn't their way. Durd has the village roughly searched by his droids anyway.

'''Anakin:''' This battle is inevitable. You can stand by your beliefs. But let us stand by ours.

Still recovering from his injuries, Anakin, along with Ahsoka, Aayla Secura, Rex, and Commander Bly, are forced to leave the Lurmen village in a hurry due to the sudden approach of Separatist forces. The village leader Tee Watt Kaa tells the Separatist general Lok Durd that the villagers won't fight the droid forces because it isn't their way. Durd has the village roughly searched by his droids anyway.

While they're debating what to do about the Separatist forces, the Jedi and Clone Troopers run into a probe droid, prompting a hasty chase to destroy the droid before it can report their presence. Afterwards, they climb one of Maridun's huge trees to get a look at the base. They see an unusual tank exiting the base that is accompanied by Separatist droids. Rex and Bly are sent down to scout closer and find out what this new Separatist toy is.

On the base, Durd is preparing to test-fire his new weapon, the Defoliator. It's designed to destroy organic matter, but leave droids unscathed. Two Battle Droids are sent to stand a ways away from the base and the weapon is fired. Rex and Bly, while out in the tall grass, have to make a run for it out of the blast zone before they get broiled. Bly nearly doesn't make it due to tripping on a stick, but Aayla rescues him. The group then witnesses Durd leave the base in a procession with his Defoliator, the other tanks, and most of the Separatist droids in the direction of the Lurmen village. The Defoliator needs to be tested on more than plant life.

They return to the Lurmen village and explain the situation to Tee Watt Kaa. He refuses to let them defend the village, so they ignore him and set up a barricade and the shield generators anyway.

In the ensuing Defense of Maridun, the Battle Droids are defeated, the Defoliator is destroyed, and Lok Durd is captured by Anakin with some help from the younger members of the Lurmen village, including Wag Too (Tee Watt Kaa's son). Republic cruisers then arrive to the planet in order to pick up the Jedi and Clone Troopers up.

* CallingTheOldManOut: Wag Too, before going to help the Jedi and Clone Troopers, chews out his father for his SuicidalPacifism and essentially points out that no matter how well they fight, their village is still being defended by a grand total of ''five'' people and that eventually the villagers might have to defend themselves.

* DramaticIrony: The Battle Droid commander tells Lok Durd that the search of the village found no weapons or Republic contraband. If the Separatist droids had been a few minutes faster...

* ArmorPiercingQuestion:

* UnwantedRescue: Tee Watt Kaa doesn't want the heroes protecting his village against a Separatist attack. Of course he has no say in the matter.
