‘Star Wars’ Drops Epic Video Celebrating Anakin’s Live-Action Journey from ‘Clone Wars’ to ‘Ahsoka’

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has released two major Star Wars titles just in time for the holidays. On December 3, The Mandalorian Season 3 and Ahsoka Season 1 arrived in 4K Ultra HD SteelBook editions.

Part of the Lucasfilm Collector’s Editions series, these sets boast stunning 4K Ultra HD quality with Dolby Vision and Atmos audio. Each comes in a glossy SteelBook case featuring striking artwork by illustrator Attila Szarka.

Additionally, the sets include a variety of bonus content, such as interviews, deleted scenes, and collector cards, making them a must-have for Star Wars fans—and a topic we couldn’t wait to report on!

For behind-the-scenes enthusiasts, Sony has also released two exclusive featurettes. One delves into the transition of Anakin Skywalker from The Clone Wars animation to live-action in the Ahsoka series.

This segment focuses on Ahsoka’s journey into the enigmatic World Between Worlds, a mystical Force realm first introduced in The Clone Wars. Within this otherworldly space, Ahsoka reconnects with her former master, Anakin, who offers her valuable advice as she mentors her apprentice, Sabine Wren.

The second featurette takes us behind the scenes of The Mandalorian Season 3, spotlighting the special effects and makeup team. It showcases how they brought to life the diverse and unique characters featured in the latest season.

Special effects experts Peter Clarke and Rick Galinson from Legacy Effects—who’ve worked on movies that earned them Academy Award and Emmy nominations—discuss how they created Gorian Shard, the “topiary-headed pirate king.”

Clarke explains that making Shard was a unique challenge, saying, “I’ve made things with hair, I’ve made things with skin, but I’ve never made anything covered in plants.” The animatronic character has tentacles and complex movements, adding a realistic touch to the show.

These bonus features are sure to excite fans who want to learn more about the making of these beloved series. The behind-the-scenes clips highlight the incredible detail and creativity that went into both Ahsoka and The Mandalorian, showcasing the hard work behind the scenes.

From the mystical aspects of Ahsoka to the stunning alien designs in The Mandalorian, there’s plenty of magic to discover beyond the main episodes.

The release of The Mandalorian Season 3 and Ahsoka Season 1 in 4K Ultra HD is a big win for both collectors and fans, offering a premium experience with top-notch picture quality and bonus content. Whether you’re looking for the perfect holiday gift or want to upgrade your Star Wars collection, these SteelBook editions are a must-have.
