Star Wars: Shatterpoint (film)

Star Wars: Shatterpoint is a 2003 computer-animated epic space opera film directed by and written by  and  from a story by. The film centers on Jedi Master  as he attempts to rescue his former Padawan, Depa Billaba, from his homeworld of Haruun Kal. Caught up in the Summertime War, Mace found himself dealing with, among other things, the religious consequences of war and the toll it takes on people. However, he was too late to save the one person who was like a daughter to him. Lured to the dark side of the Force by Kar Vastor, Depa attacked and was defeated by her former master. Upon being returned to Coruscant, Billaba remained floating in bacta in an insane status. Though her physical wounds would heal, she would remain comatose until her end.

Plot
Mace Windu's former Padawan and fellow Jedi Master Depa Billaba has been sent to Haruun Kal to start a revolution against the Separatist-allied government two months after the Battle of Geonosis, which started the Clone Wars; however, all contact has been lost with her. Four months after Depa is shipped to Haruun Kal, a message is found on a voice chip that indicates Depa has fallen to the dark side of the Force or even lost her mind. Since Windu taught her, he knows he is the only one who can intervene, and is sent by the Jedi Council by himself to his birth world.

Mace lands on planet, and is apprehended by Lorz Geptun, Security Chief for Haruun Kal and leader of its offworlder militia faction. After negotiating with the Chief, Mace is let free into the planetary capital of Pelek Baw. He duly meets up with his supposed contact, Phloremirlla Tenk, who is shot and killed in a subsequent incident. Mace is rendered unconscious, and is acquainted with Nick Rostu, a young Korun and his associates, Besh, Lesh and Liane Trevval, who also goes by the name Chalk. Rostu reveals that Tenk was a Separatist agent, and that he and his cohorts saved Master Windu from detention.

Nick leads Mace into the harsh jungles of Haruun Kal on grasser-back, where Depa is apparently at large. Nick tells Mace of the Summertime War, a seasonal conflict between the natives of Haruun Kal—Korunnai—and the offworlders—Balawai—over materials and ways of life. The Balawai are also now affiliated with the Confederacy of Independent Systems. A Balawai gunship attack menaces the party, and soon after, Lesh is killed by wasp-larvae from contaminated thyssel bark and the young Korun is euthanized by Mace. Besh is also lost a short time later.

Further on, Mace and the party encounter Kar Vastor, a dangerous lor pelek (lord of the jungle) and volatile Force-user who leads a cadre of elite men known as Akk Guards. After a conflict, Vastor allies with Mace, and the Master rendezvouses with Depa Billaba, who has fallen to the dark side of the Force. He arrests her after learning that she has been responsible for several atrocities.

The assault ship Halleck, which Mace has standing off near Haruun Kal, is summoned to the planet to extract Mace and Depa, but comes under attack from droid starfighters. Mace orders the ship to jump outsystem and deploy its landers. The acting commanding officer of the ship complies with doubt.

Soon after, Mace and Kar Vastor defeat a Balawai militia attack using grassers and akk dogs, and Mace manages to defeat the droid starfighters using a militia gunship and some clever sensor modifications. The landers from the Halleck land at Pelek Baw Spaceport, and the clone forces take the facility. However, Mace is forced to surrender to Geptun, whom he later enlists to help him stop the battle, which is reignited by turncoats Depa and Vastor. Mace defeats them both, sustaining serious injury, and Nick is critically wounded by an Akk Guard. Mace stands triumphant, despite the campaign's many downfalls.

After the affair, Master Billaba is taken to the Jedi Temple, where she is detained. Kar Vastor is tried for war crimes. Nick, having been awarded the brevet rank of major during the fight, convalesces in a medical center in the capital. Throughout the mission, Mace keeps a journal, which he finishes by hoping that Anakin Skywalker, as the "Chosen One," will bring balance to the Force.
