About the author
John Ostrander
2,087 books170 followersJohn Ostrander is an American writer of comic books. He is best known for his work on Suicide Squad, Grimjack and Star Wars: Legacy, series he helped create.
Originally an actor in a Chicago theatre company, Ostrander moved into writing comics in 1983. His first published works were stories about the character "Sargon, Mistress of War", who appeared the First Comics series Warp!, based on a series of plays by that same Chicago theatre company. He is co-creator of the character Grimjack with Timothy Truman, who originally appeared in a back up story in the First Comics title, Starslayer, before going on to appear in his own book, again published by First Comics in the mid 1980s. First Comics ceased publication in 1991, by which time Ostrander was already doing work for other comics companies (his first scripts for DC Comics were published in 1986).
Prior to his career in comic books, Ostrander studied theology with the intent of becoming a Catholic priest, but now describes himself as an agnostic. His in-depth explorations of morality were later used in his work writing The Spectre, a DC Comics series about the manifestation of the wrath of God. His focus on the character's human aspect, a dead police detective from the 1930s named Jim Corrigan, and his exploration of moral and theological themes brought new life to a character often thought of as impossible to write. He has also worked on Firestorm, Justice League, Martian Manhunter, Manhunter, Suicide Squad, and Wasteland for DC.

the majority of my enjoyment in this collection came from the overarching ‘republic’ arcs and issues which intertwined to create a compelling conclusion to many of the characters highlighted amongst its 80+ issue run. the final pages were very touching, and i’m quite sad there isn’t much more content available for some of these characters (tholme, t’ra saa, quinlan, aayla).
i even felt that vinnie, who i previously couldn’t stand, was utilised really well for the short time he was on page! (i know, shocking..) the interspersed one-shots didn’t work quite as well; one was over so fast that there was zero point on it even being created, and the other didn’t capture the anakin/obi-wan dynamic realistically. ultimately, really good, but i probably would have liked it even more if i had just read ‘republic’ issues instead of this omnibus.

So I'm using this to represent all three of the Clone Wars omnibus books, which I read, but only select comics from (always more than a third, but less than 3/4 for each book, mostly focusing on stories about Durge and Ventress or anything that caught my eye as I skimmed). So this is going to be more like thoughts on the Clone Wars comics of the early 2000s rather than this specific book.
Not crazy about how they originally covered Clone Wars which makes me glad that the 2008 animated series (which I've been watching) takes the place of these stories and incorporates some elements. A lot of the stories feel way too bloated, too much action, too much talking, but also remarkably hollow. I'm sure this style of writing works for some Star Wars fans but not for me (though I may reject the label of Star Wars fan altogether, in spite of this marathon). The art varies a bit but was generally pretty solid. The included one-shot experimental stories are generally too narratively brief to be wholly effective but the art is absolutely gorgeous and they did more for me than most of the main comics here. Everything just seems really violent and miserable in a way that's fitting for the period in the saga, but isn't much fun to read despite how "cool" and "badass" a lot of the scenes seem to want to be perceived. Durge is the biggest oddity, resembling something out of a 90s Rob Liefeld comic, just super over powered and covered in bulging muscles and armor. It just reeks of wanting to be extreme and gritty and running into such a power curve that *spoiler* his eventual demise feels totally arbitrary *end spoiler*. Ventress is perhaps more compelling than her animated counterpart was (as a pretty generic Sith at least, I'm only in Season 3 and I've heard she changes as it goes on), but perhaps not as compelling as her role in the Dooku: Jedi Lost audiodrama. The final issue in this third omnibus featuring her, does something really cool though, that added a lot to her character. Grievous on the other hand starts very strong with a pretty fantastic origin story issue before devolving into uninteresting killing Jedi comics that reminded me of the 2001 maul miniseries in the worst way, and I ended up skimming the back half of his stuff. Grievous's self loathing of his mechanized body, caused by his current master, is really compelling and they only explore that for an issue and then he seems to go stale, just like how Maul can clearly be really compelling in the right hands, but he needs more than just being a badass for that to work. My favorite parts of the Clone Wars TV series so far are the episodes focused on the clones as people and the episodes focused on the political side of the conflict (usually through Padme's eyes), but both of these fronts are mostly absent in these comics. We rarely see political struggle, instead sticking to the battlefield, and thus only see Padme once in the flesh and one in hologram for only a few lines, and she feels really missing from these stories considering how important she is to Anakin, which makes her reduced to only how she relates to her husband rather than as her own person. And the clones play surprisingly little role in the main action of the issues I read outside of the named ARC trooper, Alpha, who had less personality in the several issues he appeared in than any of the Domino Squad in their first episode of the TV show. My recommendation is to just read the Visionaries collection instead which features the experimental one-shot comics, including the Grievous origin, and then watch the best episodes of the animated series instead. Not that these comics are bad, but they just feel like a chore to get through without much reward.

(closer to a 3.75)
Towards the end of the Clone Wars, the Jedi Order is under duress. They are losing valued members and being led on hunts (sometimes traps) for Grievous, Ventress and Dooku.
Dreadnaughts of Rendili: 4/5
- I love the paneling and unique art.
- Rendili is already under Separist control. There though, Obi-Wan finds Quinlan Vos and has to trust that he'll be on the same side as the Jedi, especially against Ventress.
- Ventress reminds me of the Devil.
- There is true Obi-Wan snark with Anakin, as the latter goes to save Plo Koon (who was with Dodonna!) on his own.
- At the end it was disjointed, but there were great parallels made between Anakin and Quinlan, especially when Anakin seemingly kills Ventress. BUT HOW DOES NO ONE SENSE THAT FIGHT?!
- I love that Quin confesses to using the Dark Side.
Obsession: 3/5
- The people were drawn okay. The background art was decent. The colour was spectacular. The spread on page 154 blew me away!
- Obi-Wan is on New Coronet on a mission vs. a Black Sun head named Xist, while Anakin is on leave on Naboo.
- There are rumours that Ventress is alive, though Anakin doesn't believe it. I like that he has down time with Padme, but their constant talk of war is sad (though entirely believable).
- The tension between Obi-Wan and Anakin is evident. It's also obvious that Obi-Wan knows there's something going on between Anakin and Padme. I like this headcanon.
It’s hilarious when he notes that “every Padawan on Coruscant knows where to find [Anakin].”
- Then came the annoying part of the plot: Druge sets a trap but WAIT there is Grievous but WAIT there is Asajj who has been WAIT transformed by Dooku!!
- The end was bittersweet. Obi-Wan has such a wonderful heart. He has grown so much since the Jedi Apprentice books.
Brothers in Arms: 3.75/5
- Michael Atiyeh did the colours. Therefore, all is good (except the art itself was a bit too soft for my liking).
- Anakin and Obi-Wan go after Dooku and Grievous on a random aside mission that shows how Anakin is growing to see Obi-Wan as a friend/brother and not just a Master. Their typical snark and frustration made me chuckle.
Trackdown: 4/5
- Quin is looking for the second Sith. He seeks out an Anzati assassin while Tholme and Aayla are on Anzat.
- Tholme looks for Sora, a fallen Jedi...and the one who Quin feels is the second Sith.
I feel like this is out of order though? Didn’t Quin talk about killing Sora in “Dreadnaught??!!”
- we really see the danger in thinking of ANY being as simply an ‘object.’
Siege of Saleucami: 4.5/5
- The art is great and truly complements the story, especially at the end where it's most intense.
- Quin's been fighting for 5 months in tandem with Aayla and Oppo Ranciss. He's dead set on looking for the second Sith while trying to maintain his double-agent role.
- Quin's on the absolute edge of the Dark Side to where even the reader can't determine what he's up to and what he'll do next.
- The end is very intense with Khaleen, Aayla and Tholme trying to stay alive and keep Quin from falling to the dark again.
Routine Valor: 4/5
The art tells the story of clones on Sarrish in a dangerous situation that they don't hesitate to go into. It makes me think of the CW digests.
Hidden Enemy:4.5/5
-Dooku is dead and Quin is on Kashyyyk with Luminara to fight against Trandoshen slavers and for the freedom of the planet.
- Vilmarh Grahrk shows up (not wanting to kill Quin this time) to help the Wookiees and to wreak havoc against those who harm his friends.
- Quin shows his dislike for Clones, which makes sense - they are bred for orders, not for empathy.
But all of these comics saying Clones have no emotions or are essentially mindless (can’t think for selves) is ridiculous. Give me Traviss’ canon over these anti-Clone sentiments.
-Yoda's arrival brings us to the events of ROTS and Order 66.
- Quinlan finds himself alone against the Clones. The question is what the cost will be to his life and soul as he fights to defeat them.
- Talk about disjointed. Quin has visions of multiple Jedi, from past conversations to sources of current strength. It jumps all over though, making it a bit tough to keep up with his actual situation.

This book is a great reminder of how thick the fog of war created by the Sith really is. A chaos so thick that only they, the real Sith, thrive in. All others need not live to see their endgame.
This volumes is as equally gritty and action packed as the 2nd one with a near perfect ending. It's also pretty cool that the author borrowed from a technique of the Force 1st seen in the "The Old Republic era's" body of work.
Going into this, you should have read the previous volumes and have at least watched Episode 2 & 3.

Really solid writing and art direction across the board here.

This volume is the best of the three. As someone who recently read through Quinlan Vos' journey in the comics, this was a superb way to end his story. We get to really see what the dark side does to him, and the decisions he makes regarding love and family. I came to realize that his story kind of parallels Anakin's. It's just that they end up taking different turns. Vos, hellbent on finding out who the second Sith is (and for a time believing it to be Sora Bulq) really could have lost himself. There's a moment where he feels envious of Anakin being the one to kill Dooku, but who knows what would've happened had Vos done it? And the sentiment about how the darkness will never leave Vos, but that he can still be a good person, really speaks to me.
Of course, there is a little bit of progression in Anakin's journey. We see how he gets his scar in a duel against Asajj Ventress. But in the Obsession arc, I find it difficult to believe that Obi-Wan is the one obsessed with hunting down Ventress. Sure, he was her prisoner for a while, but this type of vendetta sounds more natural for Anakin. It's weird seeing him try to be the voice of reason against Obi-Wan. Ventress' fate is interesting, and Durge is finally disposed of, which kind of feels like cleaning up loose ends for this era. What really surprised me was Obi-Wan pretty much admitting to Anakin and Padme that he knows they're up to something, but saying he doesn't really care what Anakin does on his leave time. Obi-Wan also claims any padawan would've known to find Anakin on Naboo.

Obsession is good, but I’ll be honest, I was fine with Durge dying in the animated series and not being brought back from the dead here. I was also fine with Ventress dying at Anakin’s hand… either time that happened. So that colors some of the mini for me. It’s well-done, I especially appreciate having Padmé for a change, and the tie-in to Labyrinth of Evil is nice. But once again, the real stand-out is the Quinlan Vos stuff. I’m a broken record. But specifically, it’s the Order 66 sections I’m in love with. Unlike the rather superfluous weaving in and out of Phantom Menace in prior Omnibuses, this feels weighty, substantial, and very necessary to the expansion of Episode III. Because we’re already invested in these characters, and this is a story that hadn’t been told yet. Different level from some pirate talking about the moons of Iago. Maybe it’s a little too tidy, A fantastic conclusion to this saga-within-a-saga.
Oh, and this is probably my favorite stuff with Master Tholme. He’s at his best here, in my opinion.

It's interesting to see how far the opinion of the Jedi and the Clone War became at the very end, I never could believe that the Jedi were regarded with suspicion and mistrust but after reading this I get it. To the regular people in the Galaxy the Jedi steal babies, they brainwash people, they serve the Senate and do whatever the corrupt politicians tell them to do. Now all of that is what the Sith wanted the people to think and Sidious succeeded in perpetrating that myth quite well by the end, no one trusted the Jedi like they used to, they weren't the peace keepers but the leaders of armies. The Jedi themselves had begun to doubt their mission, they also became tired and more had died in this war than probably the last few decades. They weren't able to take on the missions they thought they should be doing (saving people from slavery, settling internal disputes, etc) because they were too busy leading an army of clones who had been enslaved themselves. So this book was an interesting look inside a galaxy that was ripe for the extinction of the Jedi in a way it hadn't been before.

Oh my god what an amazing ending to Quinlan's arc throughout this greater story of the Legends Clone Wars comics. I can't wait to see what is done next with the Clone Wars Omnibuses as they are already past Order 66. I truly loved seeing this other side to Order 66 and how it was fleshed out beyond the movies. It felt so weird to read these panels as the current canon is so different, yet still so similar. I can't believe I waited to pick this Star Wars book up, but I won't wait to start the next. 5/5

This is the third STAR WARS: CLONE WARS omnibus and it collects the final uncollected issues of the REPUBLIC series (issues 69-77, 81-83) as well as the OBSESSION miniseries and two Free Comic Book Day comics.
The 5-part OBSESSION miniseries focuses on Obi-Wan and Anakin's hunt for the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress, despite Anakin insisting he'd killed her during their last encounter. It's a great story that does a good job of sort of wrapping up the storylines of some of the side villains we've met over the course of the Clone Wars comics and TV series. Some great action here, it's the highlight of this collection.
Two Free Comic Book day comics are included here and they both tell short tales: one about Obi-Wan and Anakin investigating an alleged hideout of Count Dokku's and the other is about Commander Cody and his team of clone troopers during an intense battle. They are both okay, but kind of forgettable. It's was awesome of Dark Horse to include them in this collection though.
The REPUBLIC comics finish the undercover Jedi, Quin Vos' storyline and the Jedi Knights assisting the Republic to stop the Separatists. These comic ultimately lead into the events of Episode 3 and continue through the end of them. This is where the entire omnibus lost major points with me. I can't explain it without spoiling it, but suffice to say that I didn't feel like it had a satisfying conclusion. Even the Dark Times comics, which didn't have a true end, ended more satisfyingly than the REPUBLIC series did.
All in all, there are some high points in this omnibus, but the very poor conclusion of the REPUBLIC series marred what could have been an otherwise fine collection of Clone Wars stories.

Strikingly Fabulous and Brilliant Star Wars recounting.
This graphic novel is ably illustrated and is wonderful to be so colourful. Asajj Ventress and Quinlan Vos feature in this graphic novel edition. The script is powerful and very thrilling to follow. A number of stories flow seamlessly giving an entertaining insights into the lives of the Jedi and double agent Jedi, Quinlan Vos. The artwork was of a high quality. An excellent and original collection of episodes!!

the really big problem i had with this is that, based on lore and George Lucas's vision, it went a completely another direction. like jedi are cool with romance now and everyone knowing about Anakin's affair, doesn't really fit the narrative. And the ending with Quinlan Vos, while I liked it, the whole ending really didn't feel right and out of place for the story as a whole.

Highly entertaining!
A very welcome deeper dive into some of the lesser known Jedi, while also including some of the main characters from the movies. The artwork is all round fantastic, especially the work by Jan Duursema.
Would highly recommend even without reading the first two volumes. Full 5/5.

the first part was great, with anakin obi-wan a lot of jedi master and council members, ventress.
the second was meh, the story of vos was stretched i wished it ended in 77 and the rest continued with anakin and obi-wan.

A fitting end to the clone wars that ties directly into episode III. Vos continues to be an intriguing and complex character. This is a fantastic volume.
December 31, 2013
This volume really finishes up with a bang. We learn what happens to some of the so called "Dark Jedi" that have been running around the universe and see some of the repercussions of what happens in Episode III. One thing to be aware of is that you should watch Episode III before you read this volume. The two that come before it took place entirely between Episode II and III but since this one bleeds into Revenge of the Sith, there are some spoilers.

Scrivo qui le mie riflessioni riguardo all'intera saga a fumetti delle Guerre dei Cloni.
Da appassionato di Star Wars e dell'era della caduta della Repubblica non ho potuto far altro che adorare questa serie. Mi sono appassionato a personaggi nuovi , ho conosciuto meglio quelli di sempre.
Le sceneggiature delle varie storie sono OK, alcune davvero belle e meritevoli di una letta; i disegni di ottima fattura.

The 3rd and final part of the Clone Wars Omnibus series. This one focuses heavily on one of my favorite characters from this series, Quinlan Vos, a Jedi turned spy, who has been falling to the Dark Side.
His arc throughout the series is incredibly compelling, and it gets its finale in this volume.

Great collection of the clone wars comic series. Although it presents continuity issues with the animated series, i dont care. These stories provide a depth to the clone wars that was lacking in the movies.

I actually preferred this collection to the previous two. I'm not a huge clone wars era fan. I think the part I enjoyed most was seeing Order 66 get played out a bit more than it was in the movie. I enjoyed seeing what happened to a few of the other jedi beyond those in the film.

Quinlan Vos is back! He was the highlight. Mostly I just plowed through this for the express purpose of finishing so I can start Dark Times. Little anakin and basically just more of the same. Vos was obviously the best part though. Love him

I loved this whole series. The omnibus brings the focus back from Obi-wan and Anakin to Jedi knight Quinlan Vos and his struggle to right by the Jedi and the galaxy as a whole.

Great ending to the clone
I loved the transition from the clone wars to order 66 it was also well pasted. It made me care about the characters and find out so much rich history.
