"Star Wars: The Clone Wars" (television show)
season 1, episode 6 - Downfall of a Droid
"Trust in your friends, and they'll have reason to trust in you."
Obi-Wan tells Anakin to retreat from Grievous' impending arrival, but Anakin won't abandon the people. So far, I haven't been too happy with a lot of things that Obi-Wan has said and done. He's pretty quick to just abandon people that they're supposed to be protecting. Ahsoka agrees with Obi-Wan but she's stuck with Anakin.
Anakin has plans for a sneak attack on the droid forces - they've landed the ground troops on the asteroids that the battle droids think serve as protection against being attacked by ships. Great plan, Anakin! But Grievous escapes ... again.
But there's one casualty - Anakin's ship is attacked, and when he wakes up from his rescue, he discovers that R2 is missing. He finds his damaged ship, but no R2. Ahsoka convinces Anakin to accept a "temporary" replacement in the form of an R3 droid, nicknamed "stubby" and "goldie", but this droid is pretty incompetent. Anakin goes to a salvage ship in search of R2 but comes up empty. He doesn't know, though, that the salvage ship owner has hidden R2 away and has already made a deal to trade him to Grievous. Anakin hadn't wiped R2's memory banks so R2 has a bunch of information about the Republic that Grievous could use against them.
As Anakin and Ahsoka were making their way through the salvage ship, they came across some assassin droids that R3 accidentally activated. They had Ahsoka for a minute, but Anakin was able to save her with a Force push. See, Force push! Great ability, right? Would be handy to use more often.
R2 knocks off his restraining bolt by banging it against a wall corner. Hmmm, that seems pretty easy, and I guess because it's metal, you don't have the same risk of tearing skin like you'd do with human flesh? Still seemed too easy, though.
