Star Wars the Clone Wars: Stories of Light and Dark

This is rather unfortunate, it just did nothing for me whatsoever.

Whereas I had praised Disney Press prior on their other short story collections having beautiful art and deeply saturated title cards (that didn't seep through to the other page!) this release fell short on both of those aspects. The art is just digital re-rendering of Clone Wars art that has some water color-esque swirls slapped behind it and the title cards are in blue (one of the others was straight black!) and it shows through on the pages... it was disappointing.

Now maybe this is on me for not researching enough prior to purchasing, but the fact that these were just rehashed Clone Wars episodes given in the POV of just one character (in an almost From a Certain Point of View styling) really didn't add anything to them for me at all. I get that this is graded as a young reader collection, but what could be a better introduction to The Clone Wars than just WATCHING it?

I loved the show and the stories that came out of it. This could have been so much better if it was just new stories.

Several stories pulled from the Clone Wars TV show. A nice mix of characters and well narrated.
