TCW Story Reels

Among several Clone Wars related announcements was the release of four story reals covering an Anakin/Obi-Wan arc on Utapau. The animation is rough and unfinished, but the rest is mostly there (if also unfinished). The arc centers around the death of a jedi investigating a weapons deal involving the separatists. The deal turns out to be for a massive Kyber crystal.
Technical notes of interest include, but probably aren't limited to:
1)A known but uncommon weapon is a precision laser dart. It pretty much looks like a blaster.
2)Jedi must use a hand (or something at least) to lift something with the force.
3)A Kyber crystal (at least at that scale) absorbs and amplifies weapon energy. (Similar to naquadah from Star Gate.)
4)The explosion resulting from the overheating of said crystal has a rather familiar planar shockwave.
5)Kyber crystals of such magnitude were used to power super weapons of unthinkable power during the Sith-Jedi wars.
Last and least, 6)Anakin is a showoff with a blaster.
And an interesting question for the local canon gurus: how useful is this information canon wise?
