Why Dooku DELETED These 38 Planets from the Jedi Archives

In Attack of the Clones, Obi-Wan walks into the Jedi Archives looking for a planet called Kamino. The Archive tells him it does not exist. Most fans know the answer: Count Dooku erased the file. Far fewer know whose clearance code he used, why the surrounding star systems also went missing, and what canon actually confirms about the famous "38." The deletion was not a hack. The Archive worked exactly the way the Jedi had designed it. The wrong man held the key.
