I don't understand what you're trying to do. Where does that Darksaber stuff come from, anyway? The second line looks like it could be from the title metadata field, and from what I can see, the groups' second lines (the stuff after the Darksaber) are as one would expect, but I don't understand where the Darksaber in the group results is coming from. What metadata field is that string contained in?
Also, looking at your expression, the last group

Code:

(?:)

isn't doing anything. The syntax is for a non-grouping parentheses, but it's empty. In your second group, using the square brackets is unnecessary. You should use something like

Code:

(\d+)

for any number or, if the series index always has two digits and only two digits, use

Code:

(\d\d)

or

Code:

(\d{2})
