Chancellor Palpatine • Darth Sidious
- Chancellor Palpatine: We must help Jabba. This is the opportunity we've been looking for. The Jedi must rescue Jabba's son.
- Mace Windu: Hmm, I don't like it, dealing with that criminal scum. This is a dark day for the Republic.
- Chancellor Palpatine: I agree, my friend, but what choice do we have? The Hutts control the Outer Rim, and we'll need their space lanes in order to move our troops.
- Mace Windu: There is more to this kidnapping... than it seems.
- Chancellor Palpatine: Then you must send as many Jedi as you can.
- Mace Windu: Impossible, Chancellor. The droid General Grievous has our forces spread thin. The only Jedi we can spare are Skywalker and Kenobi. They just captured the planet Christophsis.
- Chancellor Palpatine: Then contact them immediately.

- Count Dooku: It is unfortunate, Master. The Jedi armies will now have their supply routes to the Outer Rim. Our fight has become far more difficult.
- Darth Sidious: Allow the Jedi their small victory, my friend, for the engines of this war turn in our favor.
