For Obi-Wan, the prospect of such wholesale slaughter only serves to fuel his growing suspicions about the sinister path the Republic seems to be taking. But the brash Jedi Master Kit Fisto and the detachment of clone soldiers assigned to the mission are ready and willing to do the Supreme Chancellor’s bidding. As the leaders of Ord Cestus refuse to capitulate and Palpatine rapidly loses patience, Obi-Wan’s hopes of a peaceful resolution are dwindling. Now, facing a crisis of conscience, Obi-Wan must find the wisdom and strength to prevent a bloodbath and safeguard the Republic— while abiding by the ancient code to which he has pledged his life.

"When we get back, you can ask your mother," she continued, not knowing quite how to answer her. "Maybe she’ll be able to answer all of your questions." "Why don’t we just call her?" asked Jenny. "Because it’s too far," replied Roma. "She couldn’t hear us from this distance." "No..... no....." interrupted Jenny, "I mean by phone." "What’s a phone?" asked Roma. Jenny fell silent.
