Those animated episodes, essentially a feature. The final four episodes of The Clone Wars allude to scenes from the movie, but we never see Anakin slaughter younglings in the Jedi Temple or the Separatist leaders on Mustafar. With flawless timing, Disney+ dropped the final four episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars just ahead of the 15th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith. Yet, we don’t see his true fall to the dark side in the series - that heartbreaking storyline is reserved for Revenge of the Sith. Throughout The Clone Wars, which follows young Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka, and other heroes and villains during the war, we see many of Anakin’s most heroic exploits as well as his dark side tendencies.

Master Yoda even pairs him with his first padawan, Ahsoka, a young Jedi who will become one of the greatest heroes in the galaxy. Not only do we see the horrifying events of Order 66 from Ahsoka Tano’s perspective, the Republic turning on the Jedi Order and assuring a victory for the Sith, but we witness in a stunning cameo in the series finale how Anakin Skywalker has changed.įrom Republic hero to Dark Lord of the Sith, much of Anakin’s Jedi journey in the Star Wars saga takes place during the Clone Wars, the galactic conflict that saw the young hero go from padawan to full-fledged Jedi Knight and military commander, leading his own army of clone troopers. The finale of The Clone Wars ties into Revenge of the Sith in a few very tragic ways. This Star Wars: The Clone Wars article contains spoilers.
