So Padme, Anakin, and Obi Wan have just been taken captive and are to be executed in this arena {which is set up like the games, or gladiator arenas}. A rally of Jedi {the ones with the lightsabers} have come into the arena to save the three captives when they are over taken by the droids {the bad guy robots}... The Jedi have fought their best and it looks like there is no way out.              Here is a video to refresh your memory: At 22 seconds, Master Windu refuses to surrender to Count Dooku. He knew he had others on his side that he could trust to come through for him. As we have Christ on
