During the battle, the clones are led by Jedi Master Ki-Adi Mundi, who helps them significantly in succeeding with their mission.
However, unknown to Ki-Adi Mundi or any other Jedi, Palpatine has ordered the legion to collect the remaining samples of the generator to help power his future space station, the.
