Star Wars Prequel Trilogy: 10 Missed Opportunities We'll NEVER Get Over

5. The Jedi Generals Not Being In Action More

One of the many tremendous moments to tumble out of this year's Ahsoka series involved both Anakin Skywalker and his padawan Ahsoka Tano being transported back to the Clone Wars, giving fans a look at this period in the timeline in live-action for the very first time.

However, those few visuals of Hayden Christensen marching across the battlefield in Jedi armour were incredibly bittersweet, as they likely left many wishing they'd been treated to more of this sort of Jedi General action in Episodes I-III.

Admittedly, if you're really craving some time with the galaxy's protectors in the middle of various battles, the animated Clone Wars certainly has you covered and then some. But that still doesn't change the fact that the prequels annoyingly don't contain all that much Jedi battlefield action outside of Attack of the Clones' first big battle of the war on Geonosis.

Perhaps if the Clone Wars had kicked off a little earlier in the trilogy, fans would have been able to see Christensen, Ewan McGregor and many more don the armour and lead their clone troops into a few more spectacular live-action skirmishes.

Instead, all we really got was Obi-Wan Kenobi finding and eventually killing General Grievous during a battle on Utapau, Yoda largely just watching the fight on Kashyyyk, and a few shots of Jedi Masters getting gunned down by their own soldiers in various war zones in Episode III - Revenge of the Sith.
