It is a time of turmoil in the Galactic Republic. The taxation of trade routes to outlying systems is under dispute.
The powerful Trade Federation uses their private armies to enforce their extortionate tariffs, placing systems that do not submit under military blockade. Deep in the Core, the Senate endlessly debates the legality of such measures, though this is cold comfort to the suffering people of the Outer Rim.
In secret, the Supreme Chancellor dispatches teams of Jedi Knights, guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, to troubled areas in order to settle the matter directly. In many of these places, this is the first time a Jedi has been seen in generations. Following their negotiations, some choose to remain on assignment for a time, dealing with other problems that have come to their attention...

Heeeee.
(Still - getting back to the palace and checking on Elesse is Anakin's priority, now. She listens for updates from ground control for what's going on on the planet...)
It's an overwhelming victory, seemingly.
No mention of the Jedi, though.

"I am fine, as are the Queen and Obi-Wan. Master Jinn, unfortunately- the Sith killed him."

"Mm." She holds out an arm for Anakin to walk beside her. "We should go see the Queen. You can tell me about your adventure."

She makes sure R2's okay, briefly, then falls in beside Elesse, perking up a bit to talk about the fight and getting inside the control ship and blowing it up.
