Hate and Fear represents the 60th installment within the Star Wars: Republic collection of comic books. Dark Horse Comics released it to the public on January 28, 2004.
Though Obi-Wan Kenobi yet lives, his survival is uncertain. He finds himself, alongside Alpha, the ARC Trooper, captive within the fortress of the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress. Unaware of the state of the Republic's forces on Jabiim, and uncertain as to Anakin's fate, Obi-Wan and Alpha attempt to escape their confinement. Their sole opportunity for success hinges on General Kenobi briefly abandoning his Jedi principles, engaging Ventress with a similar degree of mercilessness that she employs in combat!
