This is a brave issue of Star Wars: Republic. There's no Obi-Wan, no Anakin, no Yoda, no Mace... indeed, besides a brief cameo by Count Dooku and some minor characters from the movies such as Aayla Secura and Dex (that strange looking alien who Obi-Wan visits at the retro diner in Attack of the Clones), this issue tries to stand on the strength of characters we don't often read about. Does it work? To some degree, yes. Would I like to see more issues like this? Short answer, no. Longer answer, I think these issues are necessary to give us a break from the Big Names and it seems that the next issue might be in a similar vein. With Star Wars: Republic rapidly racing towards the events in the next movie release, however, I'm hoping that not too much more Clone Wars time is "wasted" with stories about characters who only enjoy a cult following, if that.
