Synopsis:
This book collects together the following stories from
the Star Wars:
Republic comic series:
- Issues 55, 56, 57 & 58
: Blood and Rain, Thunder and Lightning
THE BATTLE OF JABIIM
General Kenobi and his
First Lieutenant, Anakin Skywalker, find themselves
transferred to a post on the rain-soaked planet
Jabiim. The fighting is fierce, and the vast
majority of the locals have sided with the
Separatists, leaving the Republic's outposts
isolated and vulnerable. In the face of mounting
casualties and shrinking resources, Obi-Wan leads
what he hopes will be a crippling attack on the
enemy. But the environment is against the Jedi and
his clone troops - the rain won't let up, their war
machines bog down in the mud, and air support is
non-existent! This might be Obi-Wan's final mission!
A pivotal battle of the Clone Wars will set the
stage for a young Jedi to become a hero, for others
to become martyrs, and for a decision that will
affect the next generation of Skywalkers. Jabiim is
a rain-soaked world filled with Separatist
sympathizers, and the Republic forces have been
tasked to reclaim it. General Obi-Wan Kenobi and his
First Lieutenant Anakin Skywalker lead the clone
charge against the Separatists, but the elements
themselves turn against the Jedi.
Occurs during the sixteenth month after the
Battle of Geonosis.

Lines
ESCAPE TO NEW HOLSTICE
In the aftermath of a
battle on the desert moon of Aargonar, Anakin
Skywalker finds himself stranded behind enemy lines
with the last person in the galaxy that he wants to
be with: fellow Jedi A'Sharad Hett, from a Tusken
Raider clan on their native Tatooine. For Anakin,
their struggle to make it back to the Republic's
lines also becomes a test of whether he can control
his hatred of the Tuskens and whether or not he can
keep the shameful secret of his murder of the Tusken
tribe...
Occurs during the eighteenth month after the
Battle of Geonosis.
