Clip 1: Count Dooku defends against Obi-wan and Anakin until :32 seconds in when he kicks Obi-wan, momentarily throwing him off balance, goes on the offensive against Anakin until 50 seconds in when Obi-wan rejoined the fight. At 1 min the fight is paused while a discussion occurs among all present. At 1:37 the other group started shooting at Dooku, he blocks then throws a force push at Obi-wan and Anakin, then rushes the other direction towards another group of aliens shooting at him. At 1:43 Anakin and Obi-wan throw a dual force push at Dooku who sees it coming and jumps out if the way. Killing the leader of the aliens shooting a him, he backs up towards the edge of the platform, shuts down his lightsaber and steps off, landing on top off a passing ship. Obi-wan force throws Anakin on to the ship where a brief dual commences, before Dooku damages the ship so he can jump on his ship to escape.

Clip 2: Mace Windu and Jar Jar are trying to rescue the Gungan Queen from Mother Talzin's ritual. Mace and Jar Jar arrive and while Windu distracts and occupies Mother Talzin, Jar Jar uses a weapon of sorts to incapacitate the cultists, while Windu engages Mother Talzin in a duel. Jar Jar manages to free the queen, and in their attempt to escape, one of the cultists grabs Jar Jar and tussles with him, and just before the ritual is to begin, the queen tackles Jar Jar out of the way and the cultist is caught in the ritual, falling backward Jar Jar knocks over the stand holding a green orb that is part of the ritual, causing it to fail. Mace disengages from Mother Talzin in enough time to jump away from the resulting magical explosion.

Clip 3: Yoda enters a dark area of a forest where he starts to hear a voice like his but more sinister. His shadow manifests into a dark side version of himself. Yoda then attacks his dark self, they fight, each punching, kicking and throwing the other around until Dark Yoda gets the upper hand and continues to thrash Yoda around before throwing him on to a branch where Yoda states that he recognizes the the other self of him is his dark side, saying that the dark side holds no sway over him and that he regects the dark side destroying his dark side.

Clip 3

Yoda is lured into an area where a dark entity continually mocks him, but hides in the shadows. Eventually the darkness manifests into a shadow clone of him, and the fight becomes physical. Yoda attempts to use the force on the shadow, but it comes back just as strong. The two begin a melee fight in which Yoda appears to be getting hurt, meanwhile the shadow clone is goading him the entire time. The answer as to the identity of the clone comes to Yoda, and he confidently identifies the clone as his own dark side. Showing mastery of his triumph over the dark side, he draws the clone into reaching distance and destroys it, resisting temptation and proving his path is the light side all along.
