Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Strange Allies

Set during the events of the animated series, this 2011 one-shot from Dark Horse follows a Jedi Padawan and her droid companion as they navigate the chaos of the Clone Wars. Written by Ryder Windham with art by Ben Dewey, the issue explores an unlikely alliance between Republic forces and a mysterious group. It’s a tight, character-focused sidestory that expands the era’s lore without overcomplicating the war’s larger conflicts.
