STAR WARS CLONE WARS SERIES

The series was produced by Genndy Tartakovsky and employs a similar animation style to Tartakovsky's Samurai Jack. Star Wars: Clone Wars has been dubbed a 'micro-series' by its creators as the individual episodes were very brief, with the first two seasons consisting of 3-minute episodes, and the final third season's episodes lasting 12 minutes each. Most of the characters from the Star Wars prequel trilogy make appearances in the series, but most of the series is centered around the Jedi Knights (Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu, Yoda, etc.) and their roles in the battles of the Clone Wars that take place between the prequel films Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Both the Jedi and the Sith use a metaphysical power source known asВ theВ ForceВ for a variety of purposes, however in different manners: the Jedi draw on the 'light' side, which is fueled by selflessness and compassion, while the Sith draw on the 'dark' side which is fueled by primal urges such as greed and hate. As the war rages, more and more planets slip from Republic control. With the series beginning in the year 22 BBY (in real world terms, twenty two years before the events ofВ the original Star Wars film A New Hope), the Clone Wars have just begun, with the frailingВ GalacticВ RepublicВ and theВ JediВ Order under siege from theВ ConfederacyВ of Independent Systems, who wish to secede from Galactic society with the help of theВ Sith. Star Wars: Clone WarsВ is part of theВ prequelВ trilogyВ storyline surrounding the fall of esteemed Jedi KnightВ AnakinВ SkywalkerВ and his subsequent transformation into the Sith Lord Darth Vader.

The show depicted the actions of various characters in the Star WarsВ prequel trilogy, includingВ AnakinВ Skywalker,В Obi-WanВ Kenobi,В MaceВ Windu, and other Knights of theВ JediВ OrderВ during the conflict, leading theВ cloneВ trooperВ forces of theВ GalacticВ RepublicВ against theВ battleВ droidВ armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and theВ Sith.

Д¬hronologically, the series takes place during the three-year time period between the films AttackВ of the ClonesВ and Revenge ofВ theВ Sith. The series first aired on Cartoon Network's ToonamiВ blockВ fromВ December 1-12, 2003 and made its final appearance on November 26, 2005. Star Wars: Clone Wars only had brief stints on the Toonami block, with the majority of these appearances coming in the form of marathons or mini-marathons. The success of Star Wars: Clone Wars, which Star WarsВ creatorВ George LucasВ has referred to as the 'pilot series,' led to a second Clone WarsВ series-the similarly titled Star Wars: The Clone Wars-which was produced byВ Lucasfilm AnimationВ and debuted on Cartoon Network inВ 2008. Entertainment WeeklyВ ranked the series 20th out of 25 of the best science-fiction films or television of the past 25 years (1982вЂ“2007). It was ranked 21 onВ IGN's Top 100 Animated SeriesВ list.
