Summary: The final days of the Clone Wars have come. As the Republic and its Jedi order hurtle inevitable towards their tragic and unforseeable end, hope remains alive in those who refuse to forsake their duty, and who would not see their beliefs perish,nor their friends abandoned. The Last Siege, the Final Truth Beneath the cratered surface of Saleucami, the Dark Jedi Sora Bulq has begun cloning an army of Morgukai assassins. Unwilling to leave this grave new threat unchecked, the Republic soon finds itself entrenched in a five-month siege. Now, time and resources have run out, and it's up to Jedi Quinlan Vos and Aayla Secura to infiltrate the Separatist base and defet Sora Bulq before his plans are complete. Review:   Wow... yeah... We heard a slight mention of this battle in ROTS when Obi-Wan is telling Anakin about the meeting on how the Outer Rim sieges were going. Now we get to actually see this battle. Unlike the implication of the movie Quinlan was not in charge at first. Originally it was led by Master Rancisis but after his death, Quinlan, his second-in-command, takes charge. For a time we are stillunsure whose side he is on. He claims to be working for the Republic and the Jedi and his actions seem to agree but his anger continues to grow. In the end it comes down to a major decision for Master Vos and his decision could have dire consequences for all the Jedi on Saleucami. SPOILERS: Here we see the ends of the last of Dooku's dark Jedi. Both Skorr and Sora Bulq are killed by Quinlan Vos. Now there are only Dooku and Sidious left for ROTS. We also see the end of Bok, last of the Morgukai warriors at the hands of Aayla. Back to the Rise of the Empire Era. Back to Star Wars Eras.
