Writing over at StarWars.com, Dan Zehr takes a look at the journey of Anakin Skywalker, a downward spiral that is shown in even more detail during the final days of the Clone Wars, looking at his legacy as a mentor, a brother in the Force and a harbinger.

A long time ago in a movie theater far, far away, Obi-Wan Kenobi first shared with audiences that he fought in the Clone Wars and was once a Jedi Knight, like Luke’s father, Anakin Skywalker. And while Star Wars: The Clone Wars brought so much richness to the Star Wars story, it also gave us an expanded picture of Anakin’s legacy. The Clone Wars provides many examples of Anakin’s loyalty and compassion, as well as the danger brewing beneath the surface.
