Filling the gap between Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, this epic nine-volume series follows Anakin Skywalker on his path to becoming Darth Vader. Obi-Wan Kenobi does his best to control his pupil, but Skywalker’s destiny awaits him. Other famous Jedi also feature in the series including Mace Windu and Yoda; while a good chunk of the books also feature some heroes you may not have heard of - Quinlan “Flirt with the Dark Side” Vos and Aayla “Blue Beauty” Secura.

These stories continue to fill the gap between episodes II (Attack of the Clones) and III (Revenge of the Sith) - the last two Star Wars movies. As a result, we’re in the thick of the Clone Wars and see a little bit of Anakin and Obi-Wan action, alongside a few of the characters we [...]

If the previous book in this series seemed to be doing little to take the story on, it’s not a criticism you can level at Last Stand on Jabiim. This third volume continues to explore the Star Wars mythology’s Clone Wars, during which the Jedi of the Republic try to stop their enemies taking over [...]

While we mentioned that the last volume in this Clone Wars series ended on a cliff hanger, it isn’t addressed in this book. The series is following an interweaving pattern of concurrent stories through the various volumes and, as a result, we don’t see anything of Anakin and Obi-Wan here. Instead we get a good [...]

One of the great things about the Clone Wars series has been spotting the subtle changes in Anakin Skywalker’s personality before the tumultuous events of Episode III. However, the best stories in the series have been following back characters, showing the Clone Wars from the point of view of a collection of people who don’t [...]

The penultimate volume in the Clone Wars series marks the end of Quinlan Vos’s undercover mission to the dark side of the Force. But is it possible to skirt so close to evil and return unscathed?

The final book in the Clone Wars series draws a line under the books, expands on the plot of Revenge of the Sith and explains what Quinlan Vos and Anakin Skywalker (now Darth Vader) got up to next. It’s useful closure for a series that has characters you know will carry on to pastures new [...]
