R2-D2 is lost during a space battle, and Anakin is determined to find him. They destroyed the crystal caves on Ilum, and nearly dispatched two Jedi Knights in the process.

So named because of their ability to seamlessly blend in with their surroundings, these modified probe droids launched devastating sabotage and sneak-attack missions across the galaxy. On Ilum, her sharp eye and keen mind - along with a thermal detonator - saved her from an ambush by a squad of heavily armed chameleon droids. Quick-thinking and brave, Padme made a career out of snatching victory from the very jaws of defeat. This uptight protocol droid, sworn to serve and protect Senator Amidala, provided a much needed distraction. Though foul weather and cold can sometimes endanger astromech droids, Artoo did not hesitate to rush to his mistress' side and warn her of an impending attack. The Jedi temple there was subject to a vicious Separatist attack that might have dealt irreparable damage to the Jedi Order had it not been for the timely intervention of Padme Amidala. Nearly every Jedi made a pilgrimage there at least once during their training to receive visions in the Force-rich caves and construct a first lightsaber. The frigid ice world of Ilum was one of the most sacred locatoins of Jedi power in the Republic.
