Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

The Second Mission to Tatooine occurred when Anakin Skywalker was sent to Tatooine, after the Galactic Republic lost contact with their spy, Raala Ponchar. He landed in Mos Espa, where he helped to rid the town of a womp rat infestation. He also fought against Confederate battle droids that had overrun Tatooine and was eventually captured by the bounty hunter Aurra Sing and the Dark Acolyte Saato.

Anakin was imprisoned in Jabba's Palace, where he found Ponchar and learned that the CIS had made a deal with Jabba to produce a new type of battle droid out of lightsaber-resistant cortosis. They escaped and Anakin stole a skiff. Saato went in pursuit of him and they dueled above the Great Pit of Carkoon. Anakin was victorious and killed her.
