Connects the Dots
3 of 3 found this helpful The Star Wars animated series fills in the gap between 'Revenge of the Sith' and 'A New Hope.' Star Wars - Clone Wars Vol. 2 in particular connects the dots leading up to Revenge of the Sith movie. Like, it explains why General Grievous acts like someone with asthma. Don't be mislead, the fact that this medium is animation it doesn't necessarily mean it's for kids. Directed by the creator of Samurai Jack (an action packed animation geared towards the young and middle aged adult male audience), Genndy Tartakovsky. He's able to apply the same astounding action sequences and great screen stop sequences as he did with Samurai Jack. Working in a Star Wars motif even made his work so compeling. I hate to say this, but if he directed the last Star Wars trillogy, with George Lucas's blessings of course, I bet the last part of the saga would have been so much non-boring.
Volume 2 reveals the path that made Anakin prone to the influences of the dark side. It chronicles his Jedi training and the events leading up to the Revenge of the Sith.
If you are a Star Wars fan or just curious about certain things in Star Wars Episode 3, the animated series will help shed light.
Again, don't squirm if this is an animation. Watch it, and you'll be amazed.
This is no powerpuff stuff!
