I've been watching the STAR WARS films recently. I haven't seen the prequels since they were in theaters, so I don't remember them well at all, and watching Episode II last night, I was actually pretty confused about a major plot point. When Obi-Wan arrives at the cloning facility on Kamino, he's told that he's expected, and that the clone army was originally commissioned years ago by a Jedi. But the Jedi that was supposed to have originally requested the clones was actually dead at the time. Jango Fett, the template for the clones, says he was hired by Tyranus. But Tyranus, who we discover to be Count Dooku, leads the separatists, who are fighting AGAINST the republic. So who really asked for the clones, and why? If this is something that is answered in Episode III, just say so without going into details and I'll find it out when I watch that one in a couple of days. But even if it IS explained in the sequel, it seems like a pretty big hole in the plot of Episode II and left me perplexed at the end of the movie. Or did I just miss something?
