When the two Jedi Generals are abruptly called away to the Battle of Coruscant, Skywalker splits the 501st Legion and gives Tano a new division, including the 332nd Company.

Fearing that Anakin's children will be hunted down because they could pose a threat to the Emperor, the Jedi Masters Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi, as well as Senator Bail Organa, agree to hide the whereabouts of the Skywalker twins.
