KW: What kind of mission are the Clones on?
CL: The clones follow the same story as our Jedi heroes, like in the show the clones and Jedi work together and so players will also be able to experience that in game by helping each other out as they uncover the story. Like I mentioned before the story begins at the end of season one, it also leads up to and bridges the gap into season two which starts this fall.
