Star Wars the Clone Was Season 1 Volume 3
It’s a shame that Warner Bros. did not release this series all at once
because the wait was excruciating. This computer animated series is not
only well written but features some beautiful state of the art graphics
which simply look amazing and match that with some great voice acting
and this is easily the best thing to come out of Star Wars in a long
time.
Continuing from the previous instalment, the series revolves around
Anakin Skywalker, his padawan Ahsoka and Obi-Wan Kenobi as the war
between the Separatists and the clone army heats up. Featuring 6
episodes, many of the stories are linked to previous events in the
mythology or they may contain various chapters, such as episode 11 and
12 which is a two “parter”.
Episode 11 begins with Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi kidnapping
the nefarious and dangerous Count Dooku in an attempt to end the war,
however as fate intervenes, all three are kidnapped by space pirates. To
compound the situation, all three must work together to escape their
captors which causes a rift between Skywalk and Kenobi.
Although the series can be quite top-heavy with action, the drama is
actually quite intriguing and it’s usually those episodes which are the
best. For example, in episode 13, Anakin is injured on a distant planet
and his padawan Ahsoka and another Jedi Master, Aayla Secura ask the
peaceful inhabitants of this planet to help them, however they feel that
their involvement will only cause the wrath of the Separatists. These
internal struggles and politics makes the series quite realistic at
times and actually ensures that it can be watched by everyone.
This volume finishes with Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi uncovering
a traitor among them as light sabres begin to fly and the action heats
up and when it’s someone close to their council, what path will they
choose? The best aspect of this series is that it’s officially part of
the Star Wars lore and you can really see Anakin slowly change in this
series, until of course he eventually becomes Darth Vader in Episode
III. With six episodes in this current volume, Star Wars the Clone Was
Season 1 Volume 3 is the perfect animated series that comes highly
recommended from Impulse Gamer!
