Volume 2 of the stylish animated series Star Wars: Clone Wars picks up where volume 1 left off, with General Grievous threatening a group of Jedi. The war between the Republic and the Separatists continues to rage, and due to desperate need, Anakin Skywalker is bestowed the title of Jedi Knight, though he must undergo one final rite of passage by traveling to the frozen planet of Nelvan. The action is at its fiercest when the Separatists launch an overwhelming assault on Coruscant, and Masters Windu and Yoda get to show their stuff to defend the city. However, it's just a diversion from the main goal: Grievious's attempt to kidnap Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. In the series' most dramatic moment, Shaak Ti and other Jedi try to fend off the droid's attack. Clone Wars Volume 2 aired on the Cartoon Network in March 2005, and it's a bit more substantial than volume 1, taking place in five 12-minute chapters (nos. 21-25) rather than 3-minute chapters. And while volume 1 was mostly flat-out action, the developments in volume 2 lead directly to the opening of Episode III, Revenge of the Sith. And you even get small tidbits such as C-3PO (again voiced by Anthony Daniels) unveiling his new gold look, Padme sporting her cinnamon-bun hairdo, and why General Grievous has difficulty breathing. Let casual fans content themselves with the feature films; Clone Wars remains essential viewing for the Star Wars aficionado. --David Horiuchi

Good Segue from Epsiode II to Episode III June 7, 2007

This is a well done animated series, and takes place between the 2nd and 3rd movies. If you were left wondering Who is this General Grievous? Why are they flying into the middle of a space battle in the opening scene? How did the Emperor, who is so powerful, get captured? How did he get rescued? Why do Anakin and Ben not seem to be getting along now? Well these two DVDs answer all those questions, and in fact the end of the series drops you directly into, yes, the opening of the third movie. Highly recommended to complete the story.
