Anakin Obi-Wan Clone Wars

If you thought that Season 6 (a.k.a. The Lost Missions) of Star Wars: The Clone Wars that debuted on Netflix this past March after last year’s cancellation of the show on Cartoon Network would be the last stories we’d ever see from the critically-acclaimed animated series – think again! Just recently, StarWars.com made four more episodes of the series available to stream online, revealing a four-part story arc with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker on a mission to stop General Grevious from retrieving a powerful weapon for the Separatist Leader (and Sith Lord) Count Dooku. Read on for more!

The catch to this whole thing is that the episodes are technically unfinished “story reels,” so the animation is merely in the previsualization stage (for those of you unfamiliar with this technique, this is an animated version of storyboards used to lay out how the episodes will be paced visually). But before you moan and groan, Kevin Kiner’s musical score, the sound effects, and actual performances from the real voice actors from the show (James Arnold Taylor, Matt Lanter, Corey Burton, etc.) are all in place here.

It may take a minute or two to get past the primitive look of the episodes, since the fans are all used to the incredible animation the show has put out in years past, but this four-part story arc is still definitely worth a watch for those aching for more of The Clone Wars – especially if you’re like me and enjoy seeing friendly banter between Obi-Wan and Anakin at its best. This story has some of the best interaction the fans will ever get to see between these two beloved characters, and is simply a fun mystery/adventure story told in vein of classic Star Wars.

Check out this great introduction video from some of the great minds behind The Clone Wars discussing this story arc (as well as other stories recently published in comic and novel form), and then head on over to StarWars.com to watch!
