Episode 3 heavily features the devious Cad Bane who was definitely the standout character for me in the show. While he doesn't wield a lightsabre, his intelligence and planning make him more than a worthy adversary and a serious threat to the jedi. This plus the battle of Ryloth story at the beginning makes for the best episode yet.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars tells a universal story of war between good and evil, and in that turmoil the daunting challenge to not become that-which-you-fight in Anakin's efforts to stop the Dark Side. A scope that cries out for feature-length presentation on the big-screen.

The storytelling gap between Star Wars Episodes II and III is big enough to fly a Star Destroyer through, the Corellian type. Clone Wars fills that gap.

Smudger9's selection of story-arcs remains outstanding. These are the gems of the series, even if they aren't always easy to integrate. It might be easier to integrate one or two filler stories with one strong story, but then Smudger9 would be making Clone Wars movies for many years. So thumbs up for sticking with the most important narrative, even if that means storylines in an edit can feel like twin suns vying equally for attention.

If you haven't the time to watch the feature film plus 6 seasons, settle in with Smudger9's movies instead.
If you want to find out why (and how) the clones turned on the Jedi, insert these Clone War stories in your Star Wars movie line-up.
If you enjoy animated Star Wars and are sad that Rebels is ending, watch Smudger9's Clone Wars.

Another winner in this ongoing series from smudger9. This one combines two narratives rather seamlesslly. While the 2nd film is the most exciting, this one has plenty going for it. The usual qualms I have about the Clone Wars I've mentioned in other reviews; suffice it to say they still exist her, but that's not our intrepid editor's fault....those battle droid voices, basically, are what bother me. And, also.....why does Bane have to be such a Leone clone?

The strongest, most resilient point made in this and the other edits is, as I have mentioned, the perfectly realized character of Anakin. He starts here to show the barest signs of not having a good handle on his own identity with the force. By the 4th film this has started to slip again for him as it did in AOTC. The relationship between Anakin and Ashoka is quite strong by now, and it's the emphasis on those relationships, as well as the one between Anakin and Windu/Obi-Wan, that bring the entire series' weight back to your favorite ROTS edit.

IF, that is, you can abide by seeing Hayden take back over the role.

Another triumph for smudger 9 who manages to fuse two interesting storylines to create a wild ride with plenty of action, mystery and tension.
Children of the force is a complicated arc but here all the best moments shine seamlessly and leave a bittersweet taste kwowing what's coming for those future jedi initiates.
The sieges of the outer rim also become more devastating and intense than ever, truly giving the Clone Wars an epic scope they never reached anywhere else.
