I really like these books. I do remember a lot of these stories, but there are a pleasant number that I only remember details from.
The first one in here is one I remembered, about Saesee Tiin doing an operation with some local help. It's a fun story, and the setting is really good too. The next one isn't too significant, it's just about a clone squad organizing a rescue mission for an Ugnaught Jedi.
The next one... this is the one that I remembered loving the most, and I couldn't find it again for a while. It's about Ki-Adi Mundi and his Padawan doing an attack and... stuff happens. This one really got me when I was younger.
The last one isn't too special. It's got Plo Koon and Kit Fisto, both of whom I love, but it's more just them dealing with a prison break. I did like showing the differences between the two of them, though.
4/5 stars. I really loved the third one in here, but the other stories weren't quite as powerful. Onto book 7!

The Jedi are a fair bit more powerful in the Clone Wars continuity than elsewhere, but still I don't feel too convinced that a padawan could hold an entire crashing starship in its place, even for a few seconds. If she were capable of such a feat, surely she could have avoided being hit in her arm in the first place? Or maybe her fellow padawans and the actual master on the field could have chipped in to get her out as well?

thought the last one was bad but this was worse. did not like any one these stories and it just felt like it was all over the place.

This one was a bit forgettable I remember ironically. The only stories that stood out was the one depicted on the cover and the weird one of clone commandos using umbrellas as parachutes (points for creativity I guess).

This one might have been my favorite of the series so far. The third story with Ki-Adi-Mundi and Rivi-Anu being my favorite. It's great in the series and as a stand-alone.

In the first story it was nice to see Saesee Tiin get the spotlight. He's looking to get captured by the Separatists because they have an "special prototype Starfighter" and he's looking to steal it. He gets baited in a bar by Birok and his followers, then makes friends with a thief, a young human girl with short purple hair named Na-Jia. She steals his lightsaber and he asks for it back. When she gives it back she defends herself saying, "A person needs to survive! Who are you to judge me?" Saesee gives her six hundred credits. She says she'd have to steal twenty lightsabers to make that much. Saesee confronts several snowdroids, destroying them. Na-Jia blasts one that was trying to come up on Saesee from behind. Then he gets captured by Birok and his followers who try to kill him and Saesee defeats them. Na-Jia tells him to come with her as she's an expert in avoiding trouble, then they walk into a row of snowdroids and are arrested. This is where Birok talks to the Separatist in charge of the facility about Saesee and we find out why Saesee is here. Na-Jia is questioned and accused of being a Republic spy, she pretends to faint so she can steal Saesee's lightsaber back. She and Saesee escape and he jumps into the starfighter. He asks Na-Jia if she can get herself to safety and he say (of course), "I can fly anything."
The second story is told from a clone's perspective. He's part of H.O.P.E. or High Orbit Precision Entry squadron. They've been rerouted to Yorn Skot to rescue a Ugnaught Jedi named Treetower who was attempting to retrieve a shipment that was being smuggled to the Trade Federation Separatists. They locate Treetower who is hanging off a platform by his robes. There's a battle with droids. The clone telling the story survives, while the other three die in the battle. He rescues Treetower who has him help finish his mission. It turns out that the 'shipment' is a group of Ugnaughts. One of them is even holding a baby. They rescue the Ugnaughts and the clone says it's all in a days work.
The third story takes place on Mygeeto. Ki-Adi-Mundi is meditating in while water drips on his head. He remembers a time when he was sitting under a tree before a battle meditating while water dripped on his head. Rivi-Anu, a young Jedi Knight, points this out. He says, "It helps my meditation in these dark days. Each drop reminds me of every life that has been lost." He then asks what's troubling her. She says that the other young Jedi Knights are scared about the upcoming battle. He reminds her that all of them are worthy of being Jedi Knights, then asks if she is scared as well. She looks down. He reassures her that this is okay, that he too is scared. They go into battle. A cruiser is shot out of the sky. Ki-Adi-Mundi tries to get everyone to flee the battle field where the cruiser is set to crash. Rivi-Anu is injured and Ki-Adi-Mundi goes to get her. She tells him to go back, save the troops, that she'll try to hold off the ship. Then she does, holding the ship up until everyone manages to escape, then she can't hold it anymore and it crashes on top of her. Eon, another Jedi Knight, points out that Rivi-Anu saved all of their lives. Ki-Adi-Mundi says, "Yes, Eon...Greater love has no being than to lay down their life for a friend. Rivi-Anu is now one with the living force. It will make me proud to one day join her." Then he is summoned to Mygeeto since there is trouble with the Banking Clan. The story goes back to Ki-Adi-Mundi on Mygeeto meditating while water drips on his head. He stops to catch the water and look up at it. Baraca comes in to tell him the troops are ready for battle.
The forth story is Kit Fisto and Plo Koon attempting to stop a prison riot. They are trying to do so without killing the prisoners. The two argue philosophy while they fight which basically boiled down to if the prisoners, most of whom it's pointed out are murders, could be reformed. Plo felt out of character here. Then Durge shows up and one of the prisoners helps rescue them.

January 17, 2020The book Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, Volume 6 is about four tales of planets in peril and Jedi in jeopardy. The first tale takes a thief is about a Jedi stealing a prototype starfighter using the help of a simple thief. The second story The drop is about clone troopers investing gating a distress signal on a treetop (a flouting plate form) for smuggling for the separatist. The Vanishing point is about a large battle on the plant mygeeto the flagship of the republic on that planet falls and a Jedi sacrifices her self ton save the troops. The chapter means and ends is when plo-koon and kit-fisto fight of criminals then relly find the threat.
This is one of my favorite books because it is about StarWars and my favorite time in the StarWars timeline; the clone wars. This book gives descriptive pictures about what's happening and it's easy to stay with the present ( or plot) because of the pictures. The only thing I don't like about the book is how short it is. It is so how hard it is to find the rest of the series of this book. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes star wars and good short stories.

It Takes a Thief is a low-middling Jedi master story; not the low bar for these in this series by a long shot, but just not enough of what it's trying to do.
The Drop is another story that veers too goofy to feel like a canon story. The clones use umbrellas as parachutes, Poppins-style, and have a unit called HOPE and it's all too much to take seriously.
I like the Ki-Adi Mundi story best; it's another Order 66 lead-in. He spends a lot of time in it meditating on loss and sacrifice, of Jedi and clones together, and then they go ahead and sacrifice him. Not the peak of the series in terms of emotional impact by a long shot, but solid.
I really didn't get the characterization of the Jedi in the last story at all. They're just here beating up criminals? To stop a prison riot? And this was an effective trap lure? Plo spends a lot of time talking about how criminals deserve to be hurt, how they're scum, etc. Feels bad man.

“To the Vanishing Point” I find to be so beautifully written. The way it full circles on itself, that Ki-Adi-Mundi says he looks forward to becoming a part of the force with his padawan who gives herself to save them all (even if a padawan couldn’t do that, Ki-Adi-Mundi expresses he feels all this padawans could be jedi knights, in part to comfort them but it also serves as a slight explanation towards her abilities, and I think it’s such a cool scene that it’s okay), and Mundi taking comfort in the rain dripping on his head and smiling, to the irony in commander Bacara interacting with him who would soon betray him to fulfill order 66… it’s just a really tight piece simply told and as always I love this art style.
The other included stories in this volume are very fun as well, but the aforementioned is such a standout.

This series continues to be alot of fun, giving you exactly what you expect out of clone wars. I think it is very intriguing to see the different personalities of the Jedi and what seems to motivate their actions. The issues in this book were full of sacrifices made for what would appear to be the good of the republic. The commando was the only questionable issue that I thought the Commandos might have been sold a little short. I'll let you be the Judge without going into detail. Overall I truly enjoyed this book, I give this a solid 4.3 out of 5.0.

The second story, To the vanishing point, tells the fate of Rivi-Anu. Ki-Adi-Mundi remembers her during a meditation when water drips on his head. Rivi-Anu had once asked him why the dripping of water did not disturb him in his meditation. "Each drop reminds me of every life that has been lost" was his answer, whereupon a brief exchange of thoughts developed between the two about fear itself.
A very beautiful story. Shows again that these are not just cute children's comics.

Four more Clone Wars tales, going back to before Order 66. These were like some of the best of the original series, with three of the stories involving other members of the Jedi High Council - the first and best featuring Saesee Tiin, one with Ki-Adi-Mundi, as usual dealing with young Jedi going into battle, and one with Plo Koon and Kit Fisto giving both of them a little more depth. These are the kind of Clone Wars stories that made that series so great.

Star Wars Legends Project #163
Background: Clone Wars Adventures, Volume 6 was released in August of 2006. It consists of four stories in the style of Cartoon Network's animated Clone Wars series: It Takes a Thief, The Drop, To the Vanishing Point, and Means and Ends. The first, and third were both written and drawn by the Fillbach Brothers. The second was written by Mike Kennedy with art by Stewart McKenny, and the fourth was written by Haden Blackman W. and drawn by Rick Lacy.
It Takes a Thief stars Saesee Tiin. The Drop centers around a squad of clone commandos and a one-off Jedi Master character. To the Vanishing Point features Ki-Adi-Mundi. Means and Ends is about Plo Koon and Kit Fisto. The first 3 stories are set near the end of the Clone Wars, 19 years before the Battle of Yavin. The last one is dated a bit earlier due to the appearance of a by-this-point-deceased villain.
Summary: In It Takes a Thief, Master Saesee Tiin finds himself reliant on a young pickpocket in order to survive a Separatist ambush.
In The Drop, a squad of clone commandos deploys to rescue a Jedi Master on a vital mission.
In To the Vanishing Point, Ki-Adi-Mundi recalls the bravery of his fellow Jedi as he meditates in his tent before his final battle.
In Means and Ends Kit Fisto and Plo Koon must find a way to work together despite deep philosophical differences as they fight to escape a prison in the midst of a riot.
Review: You can read my review of Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures, Vol. 1 for some general thoughts that apply to the series as a whole.
All of these stories range from forgettably mediocre to just plain terrible. I'm not sure I can come up with a single thing to recommend any of them. Every story features second-tier characters in fairly forgettable ways. Ki-Adi-Mundi's story is an extended flashback that isn't even really about him, and doesn't lean into the obvious foreshadowing it ought to be deploying if it wants any kind of weight. The Drop, though clone-centric stories are usually my favorites, is particularly corny . . . the squad is called "H.O.P.E." (for High Orbit Precision Entry) and Master Treetower the Ugnaught is pretty lame. Means and Ends is halfway decent, except that it features my least-favorite Clone Wars bad guy. This one is especially skippable, even by Clone Wars Adventures standards.

This was a good compilation of stories portraying different aspects of war.
It Takes a Thief: Saesee takes down gang members working for the Separists and meets Na-Jia, a very interesting thief who keeps helping Saesee. She made me smile. At one point though he gives her 600 credits and she said that it was worth 20 lightsabers. That seems like a small amount of money!
The Drop: H.O.P.E. squad goes on a mission to save Jedi Treetower (who I've never heard of before). One trooper gets fancy ridiculous, which I didn't enjoy much.
To the Vanishing Point: Ki shows care, understanding and empathy towards others. Sometimes though, they can cause some great emotional pain.
Means & Ends: Kit and Plo go to stop a prison riot. Kit hopes to not kill anyone while Plo is disgusted by the criminals. The two don't collaborate well, but agree when it counts.

Suitable for children aged 8+ and those who have seen the cartoons.
Four stories in this volume. Saesee teams up with a thief to complete a mission. Jedi Treetower is in trouble and the hope squad of troopers is sent to rescue him. A new jedi knight is sent into battle and she is afraid. A bitter sweet story this one, but with a nice philosophical bent. Fisto is sent to quell a prison riot. Another fun read. A good read.
