Star Wars has a 10-year gap between The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, yet it refuses to fill in details about Anakin’s life as a Padawan.
Star Wars is obsessed with the Skywalker saga, and despite its efforts in filling in as many gaps between the movies as possible, it's neglecting one big era. Most of the recent shows Disney has released are attempting to bridge the massive time gaps between each trilogy.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Almost every piece of Star Wars media ties back to the Skywalker family in some way, with Anakin Skywalker at the center. Each trilogy contributes to Anakin’s life as the Chosen One. The prequels show almost every step in Anakin’s Vader transformation, the original films depict his death and redemption at the hands of his son, and the sequels shows his legacy through his grandson.
Aside from the last scene in The Phantom Menace, one of the few other times we see Anakin's Padawan years is in Obi-Wan Kenobi's episode 5 flashback. But there are still so many important events in his life that need to be covered. Star Wars could easily devote an animated show—similar to Tales of the Jedi—to filling in the formative years of Anakin’s life.
Star Wars Should Show What Led To The Clone Wars When Star Wars does end up covering this period with a show, it need not be restricted to only covering Anakin. The ten years between The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones are crucial in setting up The Clone Wars. As Chancellor of the Republic, Palpatine is likely passing laws that both gain favor with the people of the Republic and subtly set him up for his role in claiming more power during the war.
