Book Description

Publication Date: July 26, 2008 | Age Level: 5 and up | Grade Level: K and up

Since the first time we heard Luke Skywalker ask Obi-Wan Kenobi "You fought in the Clone Wars!?" in Episode IV: A New Hope, fans the world over have been wondering exactly what the Clone Wars were and what clones in combat would look like. On August 15th, 2008, with the theatrical release of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, much will be explained. The Clone Wars take place between Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Lucasfilm is now bringing the wars to life in an all-new CGI animated series.

The theatrical release will launch this groundbreaking computer-generated animated series, which will then debut on Cartoon Network and TNT in the fall. New characters like female Padawan Ahsoka Tano join old favorites Anakin Skywalker, Yoda, Count Dooku, General Grievous, and others as the Jedi cross lightsabers with the dark side yet again.

Bought this and a few others for my nephew. He loves Star Wars, so he reads them. That's the point. Get them something they love and they will read and learn.

This review is from: Watch Out for Jabba the Hutt! (Star Wars: Clone Wars; DK Readers, Level 1: Beginning to Read) (Paperback)

This book is the weakest of the group. Most follow a simplified story lifted from the Clone Wars series. No story here. Just a random assortment of characters and descriptions. Some don't even make sense.
