[edit] Publisher's summary
Behold, the long-awaited prequel to the Tag & Bink saga! Many a Star Wars fan has lain awake at night, plagued by suspense and wondering just how this infamous Rebel pair came to be. Well wonder no more, faithful readers! Your plague has ended with this tell-all issue that caps the space-opera legend, courtesy of fan-favorite Star Wars creators Kevin Rubio and Lucas Marangon.
The origin story of our hapless heroes begins on their respective planets, Alderaan and Corellia. These future soldiers of the Rebel Alliance are sized up for Padawan potential, and we are treated to a rare inside look at the rigorous mental and physical training undergone by aspiring Knights in the Jedi Temple! Mace Windu, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the elder Fett each have a role in the miseducation of Tag and Bink, but despite all this schoolin', the two decide that spying on Padmé and "the Chosen One" is a pretty good idea . . .

[edit] Behind the scenes
- Jango Fett's armor is incorrectly colored and instead looks like that of Boba Fett.
- The title is a play on words of the titles of the three prequel movies: Revenge of the Sith, Attack of the Clones, and The Phantom Menace.
There are a number of references to Earth pop culture:
- It is said that Plagueis's midichlorian manipulation caused the explosion of the planet Krypton (from real-world DC Comics).
- Coruscant has advertisments for musicals such as "The Phantom Menace", "Annie", "The Gungan King" and "Wicked".
- Buzz Lightyear is shown in Dex's diner, as are Crow T. Robot, Tom Servo, and Gypsy.
- During the attack on the Jedi Temple, the monk William of Baskerville, Sean Connery's character from the film The Name of the Rose (based on the novel by Umberto Eco), is shown running, clutching his glasses and the copy of Aristotle's lost second book of the Poetics (significant in the book and film).
- The Characters 'Jay' (Jason Mewes) and 'Silent Bob' (Kevin Smith) are responsible for the recruiting of Tag and Bink on their respective homeworlds.
