These are great for those of you who like to know the names of every obscure background character. The fun to be had is watching this first and then the 'Bridging the Saga' short just to see how far Paul Rudish's beard has come along…ĭirectors Commentaries, of which there are two flavours, one of which is the same as the ones given away for Hyperspace members to download from Looking forward to seeing what the stuff between a young Anakin and Qui-Gon is all about – was that Dagobah…?īehind-the-Scenes Featurette, which has been shown on Cartoon Network. There are clips from both, and you'd need to be pretty hard-skinned to not get a little excited by both the plot hints, the clips of the film, and the glimpse of the slightly re-designed 'cartoon' characters from what is being billed as Volume Two of the Clone Wars. As well as the twenty episodes, which run together with varying success as an hour-and-a-bit mini-movie, you get:īridging the Saga: From Clone Wars to Revenge of the Sith, which is a wee featurette which discusses the relationship between the new series of the animated shorts and Revenge of the Sith. If you don't like these, you're not likely to enjoy the series on the disc.

All of the images are dynamic and colourful. The DVD has a split picture of Anakin dueling Ventress and Obi-Wan about to skewer Durge. There's a thin bit of paper inside showing a charging Anakin on one side and chapter images on the other. The exterior art, a front cover picture nicely showing Anakin balanced between light and dark sides of the conflict (though leaning more to the dark side), promises quality within. Judging by the volume one packaging, this is not likely to be the case. This was a DVD that was purchased with some degree of reserve, as the third series of the animated shorts were yet to be broadcast and I was never sure if there would eventually be one collected version of the series released in the near future.
