Star Wars: Clone Wars is an American animated television miniseries set in the Star Wars galaxy. The series chronicles the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic under Chancellor Palpatine, and the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS) under Count Dooku.
Chronologically, the series takes place during the three-year time period between the films Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The original television series was produced by Cartoon Network Studios, and aired in 25 chapters from 2003 to 2005. A 3D CGI series called Star Wars: The Clone Wars set in between a time gap in the 21st episode of the 2003 show, has been produced by Lucasfilm Animation and debuted in 2008.
Summary:
The original series consists of 10 three-minute instalments for Season 1 and 10 three-minute instalments for Season 2 (later known as Volume 1), and five 12-to-15 minute instalments for Season 3 (later called Volume 2). The 25 episodes are mostly comprised of energetic set-piece battles. Since much emphasis is placed on action, the story and plot is less developed than in the films. Despite this, it can be argued that the second season focused more on Anakin Skywalker's story.
The series follows the Jedi on their exploits fighting Dooku's separatist confederation. Many characters from the films are also featured prominently in the series, such as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Mace Windu, Chancellor Palpatine, Count Dooku, General Grievous, C-3PO, R2-D2 and Padmé Amidala. Other episodes feature minor players from the films, such as Taylor Kaat, Kit Fisto, Ki-Adi-Mundi, Shaak Ti and Aayla Secura.
