Star Wars: Episode 3 — Revenge of the Sith’s closing moments have been recreated in the style of The Clone Wars animated series thanks to a team of dedicated fans.
The aptly named Star Wars YouTube channel Hello There shared their animated version of the final 15 minutes of the third prequel film recently, and it includes the emergence of Darth Vader, the birth of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa, and perhaps most importantly, the final battle between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. It’s so well done that it looks more like a long-lost Clone Wars episode instead of an unofficial project.

Most fan-favorite moments make the cut, and there are even a few extra clips added in to help cement that animated feel. However, while lightsabers clash on Mustafar, we do not get to see things like the fight between Yoda and Palpatine back on Coruscant. Another change is the voices, which seem to strive for a mix between the live-action and animated versions of the characters.
Hello There didn’t quite drop this all out of the blue. For years, the channel has dropped trailers and behind-the-scenes progress updates to let viewers know when to expect a Clone Wars take on Revenge of the Sith. After lots of waiting and a few delays, the project finally made its way to the public just days before 2024 arrived.
“Witness the epic showdown between Anakin and Obi-wan in the style ‘The Clone Wars,’” Hello There said in the description of the video. “After years of hard work and dedication, I am proud to present this reimagination of the iconic scene. Thank you everyone who supported us throughout this journey! You have all been so patient and encouraging and we could not have done it without each and every one of you!”
It took more than one person to bring the Battle of the Heroes to life. Included in the lineup are animators like Ben Johnson alongside re-recording mixer Byron Childs, mixer consultant Rafael Castano Marin, lead sound designer Nicholas Pawlenko, supervising sound editor Mike Pierluissi, score producer Luke Truan, and assisstant composers Madison Debrock, Truman McCaw, and Chris Valencia.
