All stories are episodes of animanted clone wars
These are all stories from the clone wars tv show from the point of view of a different character, no new stories from the Clone Wars era. Its interesting, but not what I was hoping for. it's like listening to the audiobook of the novelization of the animated TV show, lol wow I just read that back and it sounds amusing but it's entirely accurate depiction. If you liked "From a certain point of view" you will enjoy this.

Definition of JOYLESS CASH GRAB
Grew up with clone wars and watched every episode possible. I admit I'm having troubles putting into words my disappointment. Since the Disney take over it seems that they put out, one ok or good book and then 3 cash grab books. Honestly this one felt like management called the authors in and said heres your episode aim for 20 or 40 minutes of content. I understand this is aimed at a lower age bracket. That being said there are solid rumors that at least 2 full seasons were fully written at the time the show was put aside for whatever reason. The book Star Wars: Dark Disciple was crafted from a small portion of those unused materials and is great. The fact that the decision was made to simply regurgitate used material while theres still stories untold is greatly disappointing. Expecting Clone Wars fans new and old to pay full price for a rerun because its been repackage is disgusting and disrespectful. Clone Wars fans starved for new materials have rode a roller coaster of hope and disappoint. Fans like me hoping for a new story will only find a small taste of a new story in the end of the book that reads like the first chapter of a story that leaves you hanging. Clone Wars fans will be left heartbreakingly disappointed.........again!

A bland retelling of stories you already know.
I was pretty disappointed by this book. As a longtime Star Wars fan, I was excited at the prospect of a Clone Wars anthology that would expand upon the lore and offer new perspectives on familiar events like “A Certain Point of View” did. Instead, we get several Clone Wars story arcs told from the perspective of a main character that beat-for-beat retell the story from the show. If you’re enough of a fan to be looking at this book, you probably already know these stories well enough that the book won’t add anything for you. The production quality was high, as always. The one original story was actually exactly what I was hoping for, but it’s not strong enough to carry the rest of the book. Overall, this book can be safely skipped. Spend your credits elsewhere.

Big fan of the Clone Wars TV show. This expands on various moments from it, with narration by several of the voice actors, making it more interesting. 10/10.

"Star Wars: Stories of Light and Dark"
In this book, various authors have been brought together to retell some of the more memorable and familiar tales from TV series "Star Wars: The Clone Wars", from fresh perspectives through specific characters’ points-of-view. The short stories are fairly faithful retellings that anyone who’s sat through the 130+ episodes has already experienced, although they’re now in prose form and told from an intriguing-enough variety of points-of-view and tenses. In general I’m not the biggest fan of written adaptations derived from movies and/or TV shows I’ve already seen, and this collection didn’t really impress me enough to change my mind. I would much rather have seen an assortment of original stories like the last entry, “Bug” that take a noteworthy cue or event from The Clone Wars and run with it, adding to the overall narrative rather than simply regurgitating parts of it.

Very uneven
Some stories are too much just a retelling of the episode (they all do it to a degree, but some are too much). Some I think are taken from the wrong character’s POV. The Umbara one is taken from Rex’s POV but Krell’s would have been much more interesting. The Maul and Cad Banes ones are good though. So, it’s ok but not as good as I had hoped. Kinda like the prequels. And sequels.

Fantastic experience as always
Star Wars has the best short story anthologies, y’all. If you’re at all a fan of the universe, all of these anthologies are worth buying especially on audiobook as they’ve the music & sound effects Star Wars should always have. Every author & narrator are expertly chosen & it’s definitely a family friendly anthology - perfect for holidays or road trips with all ages present!

Like Upscaling 4k Content for A 5K Display
If you upscale 4k content on a 5k display, it should be difficult for most people to identify what's change or what they are missing. In the same vein, Stories of Light and Dark take the 4k content of The Clone Wars and tries to upscale it for a 5k display by adding a fresh perspective. In other words, this book is a collection of episodes from the animated series that are being retold from a different perspective than the one in the show. What's added is subtle at best, but it's paired with telling some stories that are multiple episode arcs in less time and significantly less detail than the show. If you're into YA books and haven't seen the show, this is a great introduction. If you've seen the show, this is just an average repackaging of existing content. The voice acting is great and the episode selection is phenomenal, but it's nothing like the From A Certain Point of View titles. This just made me wish they'd novelize some of the unaired shows that were being developed. There's some great new content to add without rehashing already well told stories.

The last story is worth it
So most of these stories you will already know and you may get some minor insight or fun new perspective but the true value of this book is in the amazing last story that is an original and I wish there could have been more to it like it's own book.
