Obsession 2, a comic book issue, represents the second installment in the Star Wars Legends miniseries titled Star Wars: Obsession. Dark Horse Comics initially released it on December 29, 2004, featuring the writing of W. Haden Blackman and the illustrations of Brian Ching.
This particular issue is integrated within the broader Clone Wars multimedia project. The narrative unfolds around 20 BBY, which is roughly five months preceding the storyline of Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.
Obi-Wan Kenobi, gripped by the firm conviction that the dark Jedi Asajj Ventress is still alive, has temporarily set aside his duties in the Clone Wars. He enlists Anakin Skywalker to aid in his relentless pursuit of Ventress.
However, Anakin remains skeptical, believing that Obi-Wan is chasing a mere phantom—a belief rooted in his own supposed killing of Ventress. Anakin's doubts intensify when their investigation into rumors of Ventress' continued existence leads them directly into a carefully laid trap by their familiar adversary, the bounty hunter Durge!
Obsession 2 falls within the Rise of the Empire era and is officially recognized as part of the Clone Wars multimedia project. The issue's introductory material explicitly states that the events depicted occur "approximately five months before the events in Revenge of the Sith," placing them around 20 BBY.
