About Star Wars: The Clone Wars
Starting in 2008 with an animated movie, Star Wars: The Clone Wars lands chronologically between Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The course of the series follows Jedi Master Yoda, Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, and his apprentice Anakin Skywalker, as well as a host of characters, both new and familiar alike, in the war between the Jedi and the Sith, during the fall of the Galactic Republic.
The Clone Wars also introduced Ahsoka Tano, an apprentice of Anakin Skywalker and one of the main protagonists of the series. Her arc continued beyond the series into Star Wars Rebels, as well as other media throughout the franchise. When The Clone Wars return, we’ll see the final build-up to war with the Sith, the changing loyalties, and the threat to end the Jedi once and for all. The character eventually made a live-action appearance in The Mandalorian, played by Rosario Dawson, and is set to get her own spin-off show.
One of the major elements that made The Clone Wars successful was its style, blending both a unique animation look. Still, the story and cinematography feel like a live-action series. The sense of adventure, as well as the familiar faces, helped to connect it to the cinematic universe. In addition to Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Yoda, other familiar faces, Padme Amidala; Jedi master Mace Windu; beloved droids C-3PO and R2-D2; the crime lord Jabba the Hutt; and villains Darth Maul, Count Dooku, and Palpatine. Darth Maul also plays a significant role in the series. The first film’s original director Dave Filoni (Rebels, The Mandalorian), who supervised the series, returned for the final season, which continued to expand and build up to events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.
