This boxset of season one of the new TV series, set between films two and three of the second trilogy, is an unmissable treat for all Star Wars fans.
This is Star Wars as it should be -- fast-paced, action-packed, edge-of-the seat exciting, and bursting with space battles and light-sabre duels.
Usually it's Anakin Skywalker and his feisty teenage apprentice fighting sabre-wielding General Grievous, but Padme, Obi Wan, Yoda and Artoo play their part.
Each episode is short -- 20 minutes with just enough plot and characterisation to drive the breathless action -- presented like the cliffhanger serials Star Wars creator George Lucas grew up with.
And in these addictive 22 episodes you soon forget that it's computer-animation rather than live action: the acting and dialogue is actually more realistic!
