This series is inspired by the Cartoon Network’s Clone Wars cartoons. While these stories are really for kids, Star Wars junkies of all ages can read them. Go ahead, I won’t tell anyone. With stories by Haden Blackman and art by Ben Caldwell and the Fillbach brothers.
Published in trade paperback by Dark Horse Comics.

Cute! It was nice to get three short action packed stories. The first one is about Anakin and Obi-Wan realizing that they can't always trust their eyes and must rely on the force.
The second is Windu and Tiin working together and comparing methods. Tiin say, "The rapier versus the broadsword. I've heard that argument before."
"But you still prefer the broadsword," Windu says.
"I'm hard-headed. It's my greatest strength," Tiin jokes.
In the end they decide that working together is best.
The third story is Kit centric! He's trying to find the Quarren leader. He finds out that the Quarren are taking telepathic orders. Then he finds some Moappa. When several Moappa form together and attack him he realizes that they are another sentient lifeform sharing the ocean. He escapes and urges the Mon Cala to find a way to share the planet with the Quarren and the Moappa.

A bit difficult, but not impossible, to follow without prior knowledge of the characters. Each story had a clear-cut moral, which I liked, but the book as a whole felt insubstantial. I also wasn't crazy about the artwork - it was very angular, in the same vein as the artwork from Salt Water Taffy. I liked some aspects of the art - like when creatures or objects glowed. That was a cool effect. Overall, though, I was pretty underwhelmed by this book. I would recommend it pretty much strictly to Star Wars fans, not people who are looking for a great comic book to read.

I remember pulling this off the family bookshelf thinking I was just gonna read a few pages (just to see what it was about, of course). No surprise that I completely lost track of time while reading it.
Nine years later and I still lost track of time when I read it.
Two things I enjoyed:
1). Seeing Anakin and Obi-Wan interact as master and apprentice. That isn’t a vibe we get in Dave Filoni’s Clone Wars.
2). I just love and appreciate Mace Windu in general.
However (just like when I was younger) I’m still not a fan of this art style because:
- What the f*ck happened to Anakin’s chin? It doesn’t even look close to Hayden Christensen. Sometimes it’s a butt chin? Sometimes it’s square-ish and sticks out from his face? Who’s responsible for this?
- Obi-Wan looks alright in the design department, but why does he always look super cranky? He looks like a battle-weary dad who hasn’t gotten a full night’s sleep for a week. That actually makes sense now that I think about it.
- They really should’ve worked harder at not making Kit Fisto into Aquaman.

All three stories were very appropriate for the intended age group (ages 8-12), though just not enough for me. I had hoped for more story, more dialogue, more action, etc. Of the three I enjoyed "Fierce Currents" the best because it was a scene very different from those we've enjoyed in the Star Wars movies: underwater on Mon Calamari!

This book I have read in one sitting. And that's the first time in a long time.
The pictures in here was amazing.
There wasn't a lot of words. Just amazing pictures.
All of my favorite characters in the star wars saga was in this one!(:

It was a cute start and aimed at younger audiences. It sets the ground work for the Galaxy wide adventures.
