Star Wars: The Clone Wars – The Lost Missions - Now Out on Blu-ray!

Star Wars is a favourite with my family and I was excited when Star Wars: The Clone Wars - The Lost Missions was released on Blu-ray. Clone Wars is several seasons in, episodes take place between Episode II and Episode III. I'm a fan of the original trilogy, but the Star Wars expanded universe is huge and it's always fun to read or watch things spin-offs. I was delighted to review The Clone Wars - The Lost Missions. There are 13 episodes with nearly two hours of bonus features including a documentary celebrating the entire "Clone Wars" series, and four additional unfinished story reels. With tons of sci-fi action, drama and humour, Star Wars: Clone Wars might make the perfect stocking stuffer for the Star Wars fan this Christmas!
