''Two undercover Jedi discover a Separatist plan to destroy the cloning facility on the watery world of Kamino, thus crippling the Republic's ability to maintain their clone army. Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are part of a Jedi fighter squadron sent to protect the installation, but they learn that there are heroes fighting for the Separatist cause as well as for the Republic, and that Jango Fett, though dead, still has something to say about how this war is fought!

Mace is considered one of the best swordsmen in the galaxy, but can he stand up to the swordmaster who taught him everything he knows&mdash;including the mysterious techinque known as "Vaapad"?''
