In a desperate bid to end the Clone Wars, the Jedi council sends Obi Wan and Anakin to the forest planet Ruhe to capture the elusive Count Dooku and the cyborg General Greivous. The mission goes awry from the start, and the situation deteriorates further when the two Jedi find a regimen of droidekas waiting for them at Dooku’s citadel.

The action contained in this one-shot takes place immediately after the events described in Star Wars: Obsession and four-and-a-half months before the Revenge of the Sith movie. This story by Miles Lane (Revenge of the Sith) foregrounds the push-pull tension between the Jedi mentor and his conflicted padawan. Michael Atiyeh’s gorgeous colors make a perfect match for Nicola Scott’s dynamic artwork.
