10 MASSIVE Star Wars Moments You Didn't Even See!

4. A LOT Of Anakin Skywalker's Training

The first six Skywalker Saga tales, the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series, and even a fairly recent live-action show cover a lot of the rise, fall, and redemption of Anakin Skywalker. 

But not everything.

Thanks to the big ol' time jump that occurs between Episodes I and II, an awful lot of little Ani's training largely goes down off-screen. 

Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi series did give fans a rather satisfying flashback to a time pre-Attack of the Clones when Anakin and his master Obi-Wan Kenobi were engaging in some lightsaber practice, but there are so many other key events in his training that were never given the screen treatment.

There was that business on Cato Neimodia (which may or may not count) mentioned in Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, where a now-Jedi Knight Anakin felt he saved Obi-Wan's life - that story was only covered in Mike Chen's Brotherhood novel.

The Charles Soule Obi-Wan & Anakin comic series also dives into the fascinating period between Episode I and II as a young Skywalker questions whether he wants to continue being a part of the Order and Palpatine begins grooming the future Darth Vader.

But none of those important and interesting events were ever thrown onto screens, with only fans of the Star Wars stories on the page being treated to these chapters of Anakin's story.
