Get a first look at Anakin, Obi-Wan and a young Jedi trainee as they prepare to do battle with a new enemy in The Clone Wars
By Adam Hadhazy
When the new computer-generated Star Wars: The Clone Wars film hits theaters this weekend, moviegoers will see some new characters among the saga's familiar faces, as Jedi Anakin Skywalker and evil Sith Lord Count Dooku both take on female apprentices.
Will these new trainees test their teachers' loyalty to their own masters, namely Obi-Wan Kenobi for Anakin and Darth Sidious for Dooku? And how might the presence of another woman complicate Anakin's relationship with his secret wife, Senator Padme Amidala?
These advance images made available by Lucasfilm provide glimpses of a new heroine and a red lightsaber–wielding villainess, along with other Clone Wars favorites in newly digitized form.
