Short summary

Obi-Wan fakes his own death and goes undercover as his own 'killer', Rako Hardeen so he can infiltrate Moralo Eval's plot to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine.

Whilst undercover in this story arc, Obi-Wan uses the code name Ben; the name he will go on to use in the events of Star Wars IV: A New Hope.

The Jedi Fortune Cookie "All warfare is based on deception" is from The Art of War written by 5th Century B.C. Chinese General and philosopher Sun Tzu.

The sign outside the building from which Rako Hardeen launches his sniper attack reads 'Noodle Bar' in Aurebesh. All the prison uniforms have the word 'prisoner' written on it's sleeve in Aurebesh lettering.

Rako Hardeen's helmet design is based on a rebel trooper concept originally designed for Return of the Jedi.

(#4.15) and it's plot is inspired by the John Woo action film Face/Off (1997). In that film, John Travolta stars as FBI agent Sean Archer whom goes undercover in a prison as terrorist Castor Troy (Nicolas Cage) whose identity he assumes when Archer undergoes a revolutionary face transplant procedure.

    This is one of the best episodes of this season yet!At first,I almost thought that Obi-wan Kenobi was really dead.But then I remembered that he lives to train Luke Skywalker for a little while.I do not want to give away the plot,so all I can say is:get ready for one heck of a ride!It does have some great action and mystery in it and a hint to Anaikens dark-side.The plot is awesome but tiny parts of it were a little boring.Thats why its only a eight star and not a ten.It is a key episode in the series so I suggest to watch it and not skip it.You do get a look at what a courscant jail kooks like and.....its a lot cleaner than what you would expect!Some parts may seem creepy but I am not going to say which!You are just going to have to watch and find out for yourself.I highly recommend this to any one that is a fan of the series,like myself.
