A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away…

In the era of the Galactic Republic, The Clone Wars beckons. The Clone Army, led by General Obi Wan Kenobi and General Anakin Skywalker were combating the fierce Separatist Army made up of Droids.

[Enter Anakin, Obi Wan, Commander Cody, and Captain Rex]

Captain Rex: General Skywalker! General Kenobi! The Battle Droids are retreating!

Anakin: Then we push! Come on troops!

[Obi Wan stops Anakin]

Anakin: What now Obi Wan?

Obi Wan: Something is off.

[Obi Wan looks at the binoculars]

In the distance, a large battalion of droids are approaching the Republic Army.

Obi Wan: It seems the droids are merely regrouping. They mean to lead us away from our line of defense. Cody. Rex. Get the troops back here and take defensive measures.

Rex & Cody: Aye General!

[Exit Rex and Cody]

Anakin: So, those clankers are trying to get the upper hand?

Obi Wan: It seems so. You still have much to learn about the battlefield my Padawan.

Anakin: Hey, as long as the plan has a victory, I'd argue it's a good plan.

Obi Wan: Oh Anakin.

[Exit Obi Wan and Anakin]

[Enter A Tactical Droid with a pair of B-1 Battle Droids designated as B-1012 and B-1013]

Tactical Droid: It seems the Jedi are aware of our strategy. Must calculate alternative offensives.

B-1013: Uh, sir. Tell me again why we are attacking?

B-1012: Don't ask that! That's basically saying you're betraying the Separatists! Stick to your programming.

Tactical Droid: Why? Our programming states that we must occupy this planet for the Separatist Alliance.

B-1013: But why? Our programming states so, but I can't seem to figure out why they programmed us like this.

B-1012: They're totally going to dismantle you.

Tactical Droid: Calculating… Questioning orders? That is not within my programming.

B-1013: Honestly, this is my first day, but I've already seen other droids destroyed into spare parts.

Tactical Droid: Sacrifices are necessary for victory.

B-1013: But what exactly are we sacrificing for? I don't even know what's the point of fighting.

B-1012: You are totally going to be dismantled.

Tactical Droid: Calculating… Must not question orders. B-1012,B-1013, return to the battlefield and await further instructions.

B-1012: Aw man. See what you did now.

B-1013: Hey. I only spoke what was on my mind.

B-1012: We don't have minds. We're droids.

[Exit B-1012 & B-1013]

Tactical Droid: Calculating potential alternative attacks. Calculate… Calculate… Calculate the true purpose of the war.

[Exit Tactical Droid]

[Enter Commander Cody and Captain Rex]

Clones are running back to their line of defense, preparing for an offensive from the Separatist Army.

Captain Rex: Come on! Fall back! Get into defensive positions!

Commander Cody: Come on! You men have got more spunk in you than that! Let's go!

[Captain Rex gives a sigh]

Commander Cody: Okay. What's up now Rex?

Captain Rex: No, it's nothing Cody.

Commander Cody: No, it can't be nothing. Not with you Rex.

Captain Rex: Well, I suppose if you insist. I've been thinking.

Commander Cody (Jokes): Uh oh. That can't be good.

Captain Rex: Ha Ha. Anyway, sometimes I wonder when it all ends. I've seen so many of our brothers fall.

Commander Cody: I understand that feeling. Each time I see a soldier fall. It… It never gets easier.

Captain Rex: But then when the war ends. What happens then? What happens to all of us? We're soldiers. We were made to fight, but what if one day there's a day where we'll need to stop fighting.

Commander Cody: I don't know what will happen then. All I know is that we fight till the very end. Just because the war ends, doesn't mean we stop fighting. Whatever fight comes after the war, I just hope I get to fight it alongside my brothers.

Captain Rex: Yeah. I suppose you're right. Come on now. We have troops to lead.

Commander Cody: Yeah. Come on!
