If you have never watched the Clone Wars animated series, this is a good highlight of the show. Outside of one original story the rest are recaps of episodes

Briar's Reviews

If you love Star Wars, and especially the television show The Clone Wars, then you will absolutely love this little anthology.

This series of stories is set in The Clone Wars timeline, and man is it good. We visit many familiar faces and continue learning more about their stories. Yoda, Padme, Ahsoka, so many good characters are revisited! It's a great way for nostalgic feeling for old fans and a great way to make new ones. It is also an amazing way to dive into some old stories in a new light. Especially with a variety of new authors to check out since they each bring their own spunk to this marvellous universe.

I highly recommend picking this book up if you love Star Wars! I loved sneaking back into the magical world I grew up with. 

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Disney Publishing Worldwide for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

This is rather unfortunate, it just did nothing for me whatsoever. 

Whereas I had praised Disney Press prior on their other short story collections having beautiful art and deeply saturated title cards (that didn't seep through to the other page!) this release fell short on both of those aspects. The art is just digital re-rendering of Clone Wars art that has some water color-esque swirls slapped behind it and the title cards are in blue (one of the others was straight black!) and it shows through on the pages... it was disappointing. 

Now maybe this is on me for not researching enough prior to purchasing, but the fact that these were just rehashed Clone Wars episodes given in the POV of just one character (in an almost From a Certain Point of View styling) really didn't add anything to them for me at all. I get that this is graded as a young reader collection, but what could be a better introduction to The Clone Wars than just WATCHING it?

I loved the show and the stories that came out of it. This could have been so much better if it was just new stories.
