Geonosian style execution is a fictional form of capital punishment practiced on the planet Geonosis in the Star Wars universe. It was featured in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The origin of the term is that it was originally employed by the Geonosians. The scene depicting this execution method takes place in the Geonosian arena. The persons to be executed are chained to a pole, awaiting execution. The beastlike creatures approach from the arena door, and attack and eat the condemned persons in the manner of a wild beast. (This scene appears to reference an execution method employed by the ancient Romans at the Colosseum where lions and other dangerous predator animals were permitted to have their way with condemned prisoners.) Count Dooku sentenced Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Padmé Naberrie Amidala to be executed in this method. However, the executions were nullified by the timely arrival of Jedi reinforcements, led by Jedi Master Mace Windu.
