Unfortunately, due to suspicious members of the Jedi Council, Dyas destroyed the DNA to cover his doings. Dyas stated a force sensitive clone was necessary to combat rogue Jedi. The clone was born in 32 BBY, as one of many clones bred for the Grand Army of the Republic. He spent his training in Mandalorian arts by Fett himself. However, Jack didn't receive any Jedi training on Kamino.
