I swear this weird, random, extremely corny book has the most endearing, humanizing, thoughtful interpretation of Anakin out there.

I re-checked the covers for an author credit and there is none, but there is a “special thanks” to Scott Ciencin and Marc Cerasini, two prolific children’s genre writers. Wookieepedia credits Scott Ciencin only, for some reason, and no other wiki I can find for either of these authors lists this book. If they’re trying to convince me Anakin really did write this book, the immersion is airtight!

Today’s the 10th anniversary since I got Star Wars: Clone Wars Volume 2 (Season 3)! Even longer and more epic than Volume 1 (Seasons 1-2)!

Now let’s shine a light on those awesome creatives that did for @starwars​ what they did for Season 5 of Samurai Jack:

Under the direction of Genndy Tartakovksy, of course....

Character Design/Layout artist Paul Rudish served as the sole Art Director of Season 3/Volume 2....

Bryan Andrews boarded the entire 3rd season himself....

With Animation Director Genndy Tartakovsky, Randy Myers shared the role of Sheet Timer with Robert Alvarez (who both did the same for Infinity Train, whose SMIP animation appears poor compared to Rough Draft’s animation on Star Wars: Clone Wars)....

The “Layout” artists at Cartoon Network Studios went from Additional Scene Layout to, for this season, Character Layout. Mike Kim, Paul Rudish, Andy Suriano, and Genndy continued their layout duties, and Virginia Hawes (Spongebob Squarepants, Johnny Bravo) and the amazing Andy Bialk joined for character layout. Digital Effects Artist Steven Jennings (The Powerpuff Girls, Johnny Test) did the Cave Art Animation in one of the chapters.

The very glowy backgrounds of Clone Wars Season 3, now supervised by Justin K. Thompson, were stylized by background painter Richard Daskas and painted by Russell G. Chong (Design & Concept Artist for Dave Filoni’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars), Christopher Near and Dennis Durrell. Roger Webb served as the sole Color Stylist.

Richard McGonagle (Samurai Jack) served as the main voice for General Grievous before Matthew Wood and after John DiMaggio.

Now lacking the “Marin County, California” portion of the byline and with no credit for Skywalker’s Video Services department, Erik Foreman continued his role in the sound (still no credit for the foley team). Ben Burtt, who is acknowledged for the original SFX that he created, contributed some sound effects he designed for Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, on which he was working at the time.

According to the DVD credits (accessible by selecting THX Optimizer and pressing “1″-”1″-”3″-”8″), Skywalker Sound’s Bruce Lacey (Sound Effects Editor for Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones) was also a Sound Editor as was Erik Foreman.

Certified by yours truly....

It may not be as HD as stuff is these days, but THX Ltd. helped to assure the finest picture and sound quality that Genndy Tartakovsky’s work undeniably deserves.

Finally, I highlight Rough Draft Studios of Korea for their wonderful animation (regardless of the blobby lines) and their nice 3D/CGI props, like the Clone Fighters adapted by Todd Frederiksen.

Hollywood Job Envy: Entertainment's Most Powerful Reveal Who They'd Trade Places With for a Day

Hollywood Job Envy: Entertainment's Most Powerful Reveal Who They'd Trade Places With for a Day

While multiple members of 2017’s THR 100 said they’d like to switch seats with Bob Iger — “CEO of Happiness,” according to Oprah Winfrey — and The Rock, admired in part for his “great calves,” others are content to stay in their own powerful positions.

They’re the 100 most powerful people in entertainment but that doesn’t mean they don’t dream about trading places with someone else in Hollywood. Asked whose job they would want — just for one day — the execs, creators and stars who made the cut for this year’s THR 100 offered a wide variety of answers, with a few notable repeats.

Bob Iger, himself No. 1 on the THR 100, was the most popular pick, with five of the interviewees wanting to take his job as CEO of Disney for the day; Oprah Winfrey (No. 9) even called him the “CEO of Happiness.” AMC’s Charlie Collier (No. 42) cited Iger’s “breadth of perspective,” with Simon Kinberg (No. 59) and Brian Grazer (No. 95) expressing similar sentiments. Mark Burnett (No. 54) summed it up more simply: “Bob Iger. This needs no explanation.”

Netflix’s Ted Sarandos (No. 2) was named by both Fox’s Dana Walden (No.16) “so that I could see Netflix’s ratings,” she said, and Ava DuVernay (No. 70), who mentioned the chief content officer’s disruptor role in Hollywood and “those deep pockets.” As for Sarandos, he’d switch places for a day with Lorne Michaels (No. 38); same goes for Michaels’ corporate boss, NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke (No. 3).

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (No. 34) also got a couple of mentions — from Brett Ratner (No. 9), who admires the star’s “great calves,” and Jordan Peele (No. 93). Wonder Woman helmer Patty Jenkins (No. 94) chose Clint Eastwood (No. 63) — “he has such a great and impressive body of work that now he really gets to do what he wants to do,” she said — as did one of her collaborators on the DC summer blockbuster, Warner Bros.’ Jon Berg (No. 64). “Who wouldn’t want to be Clint for one day?” Berg told THR. “I’d just keep giving myself his patented ‘what you looking at’ stare.”

Also receiving multiple mentions were two powerhouses who didn’t appear on THR’s list: Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos was chosen by Illumination’s Chris Meledandri (No. 29) and Starz’s Chris Albrecht (No. 60). And Jay-Z was the choice of both UTA’s Jeremy Zimmer and TBS/TNT president Kevin Reilly, who quipped of the hip hop star and mogul, “We’re very similar.”

Ava DuVernay, director/producer (No. 70) “Ted Sarandos (No. 2). I’d like to know how it feels to be the industry’s biggest disruptor and have those deep pockets too. I’d make it a shopping day.”

Though Star Wars has never directly given us a Darth Vader vs Darth Maul fight (the cartoons bring us close, but never quite get there), there are stories in which Anakin has visions and nightmares of the alien who killed Qui-Gon when he was a boy.

I love this sketch of a broken, rusting 3PO from young Anakin’s journal. He must have been worried that his creation would be taken apart and abandoned.

Don’t worry, Anakin -- your robot will outlive you!

This week's theme: Droids!

These notes from Anakin’s journal are a lot to unpack. How does this random little book have more unsettling, grim foreshadowing than the entire Clone Wars TV show?

We all know that Anakin will one day become “more machine than man,” so I love that this book emphasizes his childish emotional connection to droids -- not merely as objects, but as (superior) beings. Though the movies, especially the original trilogy, present droids as innocent and silly, Anakin attaches himself creatively to their capacity for violence and decay. This tragic villain! I love him!
