Kenobi stood off of his ship that had just landed on Geonosis's surface. The red rustic ground made the planet dim and dusty, and the wind was soft but blew tiny sand-like pieces of rust into Kenobi's eyes. Looking at the entrance where Slave 1 had entered the tunnel, Kenobi crawled into it, only to discover that his old friend, Count Dooku was discussing with the somewhat unknown Separatist leaders. Listening to their conversations, he overheard alit about their plan to find all the jedi and murder them all, but he was caught, because of his sudden shock in hearing that his old friend would do anything like this. Locked in a force field prison, he was not allowed out, unless he subdued to Count Dooku which, after hearing what he had just heard, he was not willing to do. So Kenobi was trialed for treason against Lord Poggle the Lesser, and sentenced to death by execution in the Geonosian arena, which was a traditional way to be executed in the bug's culture.
