Star Wars: Clone Wars is an Americananimatedtelevision micro-series set in the Star Wars universe and developed and drawn by Genndy Tartakovsky. Produced and released between the films Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, it is amongst the first of many works to explore the conflict known as the Clone Wars, and directly leads to the events of Revenge of the Sith. The show follows the actions of various characters from the Star Wars prequel trilogy, notably Jedi and clone troopers, in their war against the battle droid armies of the Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Sith. The series is notable for introducing Revenge of the Sith villain General Grievous.[2]

The series aired on Cartoon Network for three seasons consisting of 25 episodes altogether from 2003 to 2005, and was the first Star Wars television series since Ewoks (1985–1986). The first two seasons of Clone Wars, released on DVD as 'Volume One', were produced in episodes ranging from two to three minutes, while the third season consisted of five 15-minute episodes comprising 'Volume Two'.[2] Since its release, the series has received critical acclaim and won multiple awards, including the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program for both volumes.Its success led to its being spun off as the half-hour CGI series The Clone Wars.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars became a smash hit but when the series got cancelled after the Disney-Lucasfilm buy-out, fans were upset. Now, it’s back, and it’s back for one final season.

Plot[edit]

Clone Wars is part of the Star Wars prequel storyline, surrounding the fall of esteemed JediAnakin Skywalker and his subsequent transformation into the Sith Lord Darth Vader. The series begins shortly after Attack of the Clones, as the failing Galactic Republic and the Jedi Order are under siege from the Separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems and the Sith. As the war rages, more and more planets slip from Republic control.

Synopsis[edit]

The main storyline of Volume One features the Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi leading an assault on the planet Muunilinst, home of the Intergalactic Banking Clan,[3] benefactors of the Separatists wishing to break away from the Republic. His apprentice, Anakin, is personally appointed to lead the space forces by Supreme Chancellor Palpatine,[4] the secret alter ego of Sith Lord Darth Sidious. Meanwhile, Separatist leader Count Dooku takes in the Force-sensitive Asajj Ventress as his Sith apprentice and sends her to eliminate Anakin. Anakin diverts his attention in the middle of the space battle to pursue Ventress[3] to Yavin 4, where he manages to defeat her in a lightsaber duel by drawing on his anger.[2]

Surrounding this storyline are various battles focusing on other Jedi and their wartime exploits: Master Mace Windu faces a droid army unarmed[3] on Dantooine, Master Yoda travels to the ice world Ilum to save two imperiled Jedi, the amphibious Kit Fisto leads an aquatic regiment of clone troopers on the waterworld Mon Calamari,[4] and a team of Jedi encounter the dreaded General Grievous[2] on Hypori.

Volume Two picks up at the conclusion to the Hypori battle: Obi-Wan sends his team of ARC troopers to Hypori to rescue the Jedi from Grievous. The Republic is desperate, and after much consideration, the Jedi Council decides to promote Anakin to the rank of Jedi Knight.[2][a] The series then jumps ahead to nearly the end of the war, when Anakin has become a more powerful Jedi. He aids Obi-Wan in capturing a fortress, saves Saesee Tiin in space battle, and rescues Jedi from crab droids.[b]

Anakin and Obi-Wan are assigned to search for Grievous on the planet Nelvaan, but instead end up liberating a group of Nelvaanians who had been enslaved and mutated by the Separatist Techno Union. While rescuing the Nelvaan warriors, Anakin sees a cryptic vision of his eventual transformation into Darth Vader.[2] Meanwhile, Grievous leads an assault on Coruscant and, despite the best efforts of Yoda, Windu, Shaak Ti, and others, kidnaps Palpatine for his master, Dooku. Anakin and Obi-Wan then set out to rescue the Chancellor over Coruscant, leading directly into the beginning of Revenge of the Sith.[2]

Continuity[edit]

Several attempts were made to maintain continuity with the overall saga, most notably bridging Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. In 'Chapter 21', C-3PO makes his first appearance in gold plating[7] and Anakin is knighted; he sends his Padawan braid to Padmé, who stores it with the necklace he gave her in The Phantom Menace. It is implied that Anakin and Padmé conceive the Skywalker twins on Naboo in 'Chapter 22'.[8]

General Grievous' cough in Revenge of the Sith was intended to emphasize his organic nature as well as the flaws of having cyborg prosthetics. Grievous had previously appeared in Clone Wars before many of his personality traits had been finalized. To reconcile the differences between the two presentations, the Clone Wars production crew inserted a scene in 'Chapter 25' of Mace Windu Force-crushing the chestplate housing Grievous's internal organs.[9][7]

Volume Two shares aspects of its storyline with the novel Labyrinth of Evil, which was created at the same time. In the series, Anakin and Obi-Wan investigate a possible base for Grievous on Nelvaan prior to returning to Coruscant, but in the novel, they pursue Count Dooku on Tythe; Dooku briefly pauses at Nelvaan when escaping to Coruscant. According to The New Essential Chronology, the events on Nelvaan occurred before those on Tythe,[10] with the final scene of Obi-Wan and Anakin getting the message from Mace on the cruiser taking place afterwards.

Clone Wars served as a pilot for the half-hour CGIThe Clone Wars.[11] The character designer for the latter series attempted to translate aspects of the character designs from the 2D series to 3D.[12] The canonicity of Clone Wars was superseded by the later series after The Walt Disney Company purchased Lucasfilm and announced that The Clone Wars was considered one of the franchise's 'immovable objects' along with the episodic films.[13][11]

Production[edit]

The series was produced and directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, the creator of Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack,[11] and employs a similar animation style to the latter. Tartakovsky stated that he purposely animated C-3PO with moveable expressive eyes to pay homage to his animated appearances in The Star Wars Holiday Special and Droids.[14] Additionally, the planet Nelvaan's name was a nod to Nelvana, the production company that produced all previous Star Wars animated series.[15] In 'Chapter 21', a Dulok appears, a species introduced in Ewoks.

Plot[edit]

During the Clone Wars, Jedi KnightsAnakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi lead a small Republicclone army against the Separatist droid army on the planet Christophsis. Awaiting reinforcements, the two Jedi greet a shuttle carrying the young Jedi Ahsoka Tano, who insists that she has been assigned by Jedi Master Yoda to serve as Anakin's Padawan. Anakin begrudgingly accepts Ahsoka's apprenticeship, and the two succeed in deactivating the Separatists' energy field while Obi-Wan stalls the droid army commander, allowing a Republic victory. Ahsoka earns Anakin's respect.

Following the battle, Yoda arrives and informs the Jedi that crime lord Jabba the Hutt's son Rotta has been kidnapped. Anakin and Ahsoka are tasked with retrieving the Huttlet, while Obi-Wan is sent to Tatooine to negotiate with Jabba over a potential treaty between the Hutts and the Republic. Anakin and Ahsoka find Rotta on the planet Teth, where they are ambushed by Separatist forces led by Count Dooku's apprentice Asajj Ventress, discovering that Dooku hopes to frame the Jedi for Rotta's kidnapping. The Jedi manage to escape the trap along with R2-D2 and hijack a derelict transport with which they travel to Tatooine. Obi-Wan, alerted by Anakin, arrives on Teth and defeats Ventress in a lightsaber duel, though she manages to escape.

Meanwhile, Senator Padmé Amidala, Anakin's secret wife, learns of Anakin's mission and fears for his safety. She decides to contact Jabba's uncle Ziro in Coruscant. The Hutt refuses to cooperate, apparently believing that it is the Jedi who are responsible for the situation. However, Padmé soon discovers that Ziro has actually conspired with Dooku to have Rotta killed in order for Jabba to have Anakin and Ahsoka executed in return, which will force the Jedi Council, led by Yoda, to take Jabba into custody and allow Ziro to seize power over the Hutt clans. Padmé is discovered and detained, but a chance call by C-3PO enables her to summon a squadron of clone troopers, and Ziro is arrested.

Upon their arrival on Tatooine, Anakin and Ahsoka are shot down by MagnaGuards. Anakin devises a ruse to confront Dooku while carrying a decoy Rotta, leaving Ahsoka to take the real Rotta to Jabba's palace. While Anakin fights off Dooku, Ahsoka is ambushed by the MagnaGuards, whom she defeats. The two deliver Rotta safely to Jabba, who nonetheless orders the Jedi's execution for their supposed attempt to kidnap him. However, Padmé contacts Jabba in time and reveals Ziro and the Separatists' responsibility for the kidnapping. Acknowledging the Jedi's heroism and allowing the Republic to have Ziro punished for his betrayal, Jabba agrees to the Republic treaty while Anakin and Ahsoka are retrieved by Obi-Wan and Yoda. In the meantime during his escape, Dooku reports to his master Darth Sidious about the failure of their plot against the Jedi and Jabba, but the Sith Lord assures him that the tide of war is still in their favor.

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

Director Dave Filoni

Star Wars: The Clone Wars was made to serve as both a stand-alone story and a lead-in to the weekly animated TV series of the same name.[4]George Lucas had the idea for a film after viewing some of the completed footage of the early episodes on the big screen.[1] Those first few episodes, originally planned for release on television, were then woven together to form the theatrical release.[2] The story of the kidnapped Hutt was inspired by the Sonny Chiba samurai film titled Shogun’s Shadow.[7]Warner Bros. had tracked the series' development from the beginning, and Lucas decided on a theatrical launch after viewing early footage[8] declaring 'This is so beautiful, why don't we just go and use the crew and make a feature?'[9] Lucas described the film as 'almost an afterthought.'[9]Howard Roffman, president of Lucas Licensing, said of the decision, 'Sometimes George works in strange ways.'[10] Producer Catherine Winder said the sudden decision added to an already large challenge of establishing a show 'of this sophistication and complexity,'[11] but she felt it was a good way to start the series, and thought budgetary constraints forced the production team to think outside the box in a positive way.[11]

Animation[edit]

Lucasfilm and Lucasfilm Animation used Autodesk software to animate both the film and the series using the Maya3D modeling program to create highly detailed worlds, characters and creatures.[12] The film's animation style was designed to pay homage to the stylized looks of both Japanese anime and manga, and the supermarionation of the British 1960s series Thunderbirds. At a Cartoon Network-hosted discussion, Lucas said he did not want the Clones Wars film or television series to look like such movies as Beowulf, because he wanted a stylized look rather than a realistic one. He also felt it should not look like the popular Pixar movies such as The Incredibles, because he wanted the film and characters to have its own unique style.[13] Lucas also decided to create the animated film and series from a live-action perspective, which Winder said set it apart from other CGI films. Essentially, it 'meant using long camera shots, aggressive lighting techniques, and relying on editing instead of storyboards.'[11] Animators also reviewed designs from the original 2003 Clone Wars series when creating the animation style for the film and the new series.[14] In charge was Steward Lee, working as the storyboard artist during filming.[8] Some actors from the live-action films, including Anthony Daniels, Matthew Wood, Christopher Lee and Samuel L. Jackson, returned to vocally reprise their roles of their respective characters,[15] although Lee and Jackson didn't reprise their roles in the subsequent Clone Wars series.

The musical score for Star Wars: The Clone Wars was composed by Kevin Kiner.[16] The original motion picture soundtrack was released by Sony Classical on August 12, 2008. The disc begins with the main theme by John Williams, followed by more than 30 separate music cues composed by Kiner.[16] Kiner is known for his work on such television series as Stargate SG-1, Star Trek: Enterprise, Superboy and CSI: Miami. The soundtrack uses some instruments never heard before in a Star Wars score, including erhus, duduks and ouds.[17]

Marketing[edit]

Toys[edit]

Star Wars: The Clone Wars merchandise was first released on July 26, 2008. Hasbro released several 3​3⁄4-inch Clone Warsaction figures, an electronic clone trooper helmet, a customizable lightsaber, and an electronic All Terrain Tactical Enforcer (AT-TE).[18]Target and KB Toys also devoted shelf space for Clone Wars toys, but did not hold midnight releases or pursue the branding opportunities Toys 'R' Us did. Toys 'R' Us mounted digital clocks in all 585 of its stores that counted down to the release of the Clone Wars toys, and more than 225 of the stores opened at midnight for the debut of the Star Wars products. Two of the Toys 'R' Us flagship outlets in Mission Bay, San Diego and Times Square in Manhattan, New York City held costume and trivia contests on July 26, and gave away limited-edition Star Wars toys with every purchase. A section of the Toys 'R' Us website was also dedicated to The Clone Wars.[10] The toy line continues with The Clone Wars figures being well received by collectors for their detail to the characters and vehicles.

Food[edit]

Due to Lucas' sudden decision to produce the film, Lucas Licensing did not have time to enter into agreements with previous Star Wars marketing partners like Pepsi, Burger King and Kellogg's, with which the Lucasfilm licensing company had a ten-year marketing plan for the other films. When questioned by The New York Times about Star Wars merchandising in July 2008, a Pepsi spokesperson was unaware a new Star Wars film was being released. On August 15, McDonald's held its first ever Happy Meal promotion for a Star Wars film and for four weeks, 18 exclusive toys came in specially designed Happy Meal boxes.[10]

Comics and books[edit]

Dark Horse Comics published a six-issue digest-sizedcomic book miniseries. Randy Stradley, vice president of publishing for Dark Horse, said the sudden decision to release the Clone Wars film required the company to temporarily delay plans for two other Star Wars comic book series, Dark Times and Rebellion. The Clone Wars comics did not receive the promotional campaign it otherwise would have due to the abruptness of the theatrical and comic book releases.[19]Topps, the trading cards company, released a series of 90 Clone Wars cards on July 26, which also included foil cards, motion cards, animation cel cards and rare sketch cards by top Star Wars artists and Lucasfilm animators.[20]DK Publishing and the Penguin Group released books, activities and other merchandise that tied in with the film. Also released was the Clone Wars: The Visual Guide, published by DK, and Star Wars: The Clone Wars in the UK, published by Puffin and in the U.S. by Grosset & Dunlap. The publishers also released a storybook, picture books and an activity book.[21] At the American International Toy Fair, Lego announced a product line for the film and the TV series, to be released in July 2008 in the United States and on August 2008 in the United Kingdom.[22]

Video games[edit]

The LucasArtsvideo game developer adapted the film into Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Jedi Alliance for the Nintendo DS and Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Lightsaber Duels for Wii.[23] A reviewer from PocketGamer.co.uk said his expectations for Jedi Alliance were low due to poor Clone Wars movie reviews, but he found the game 'a varied and well-paced experience.'[24]

Portable media players[edit]

A Star Wars: The Clone WarsMP3 player was released in August 2008. The player includes one gigabyte of memory, which holds 200 songs or 20 hours of music and comes with three interchangeable faceplates: a green one with Yoda and a lightsaber on it, a silver one with Captain Rex and a Galactic Empire logo on it, and one with two Clone troopers on Coruscant. One review claimed it improved upon a Darth Vader MP3 player released in July 2008, which featured only 512 megabytes of memory and a dated visual display.[25] A Star WarsiPod iSpeaker (a speaker/dock for iPods, iPhones and MP3 players) was also released. The speaker includes an image of Captain Rex and three other Clone Troopers.[26]

Racing sponsorship[edit]

A Star Wars: The Clone Warsopen wheel car for the IndyCar Series was unveiled at the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con International. The #26 car, which also included Blockbuster Inc. decals and was driven by Andretti Green Racing driver Marco Andretti, ran August 24 on the Infineon Raceway in the Sonoma Mountains in California. Andretti said, 'I'm hoping that my upcoming battle at Infineon will be as exciting as anything in a Star Wars movie so I can win it for both Blockbuster and Lucasfilm.'[27] The car finished 14th at Infineon, which Andretti attributed to a slow pit stop early in the race; he added, 'I just don't think it was a very good performance for us today.'[28] The Clone Wars car was the second collaboration between Lucasfilm, Blockbuster and Andretti Green Racing. It premiered as an Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull car at the Indianapolis 500 in May 2008.[27]

Home media[edit]

The film's two-disc DVD and Blu-ray Disc was released on November 11, 2008 in the United States and on December 8, 2008 in the United Kingdom.[29][30] The film was released as a single-disc DVD, two-disc Special Edition DVD, and Blu-ray Disc. The standard-definition versions include the film in widescreen format with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround EX sound, and with feature-length audio commentary.[31]

Novelization[edit]

Reception[edit]

Critical response[edit]

The film was negatively received by critics; on review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, Star Wars: The Clone Wars received an approval rating of 18% based on 169 reviews, with an average rating of 4.2/10. The site's critical consensus reads: 'Mechanical animation and a less-than stellar script make The Clone Wars a pale shadow of George Lucas' once great franchise.'[32] This constituted the lowest Rotten Tomatoes rating of any Star Wars film; the previous six theatrical films ranged from 55% to 95%, and the made-for-television Ewok films and the Star Wars Holiday Special garnered higher ratings, although their averages encompassed far fewer reviews.[32] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 35 out of 100 based on 30 critics, indicating 'generally unfavorable reviews'.[33]

Entertainment Weekly listed Star Wars: The Clone Wars as one of the five worst films of 2008[34] with critic Owen Gleiberman saying,

It's hard to tell the droids from the Jedi drones in this robotic animated dud, in which the George Lucas Empire Strikes Back—at the audience. What wears you out is Lucas' immersion in a Star Wars cosmology that has grown so obsessive-compulsively cluttered yet trivial that it's no longer escapism; Because this movie has bad lightsaber duels and the lack of the original cast, it's something you want to escape from.[34]

Ain't It Cool News posted two reviews of the film during the week before its release, but pulled them down due to an embargo placed on those attending the screening its writers attended. The same reviews were re-posted on the site, on the day of the film's release. The retraction prompted some readers to allege a conspiracy by Lucasfilm to keep negative press out of circulation until the release of the film, but although the review by site creator Harry Knowles was negative, Drew McWeeny said that his review was positive and that no such conspiracy existed.[35]

Several critics compared The Clone Wars to a Saturday morning cartoon[36][37][38] and described it as little more than a plug for the upcoming animated series.[39][40][41] Linda Barnard, of the Toronto Star, said the movie 'pretty much drives a stake into the heart of every loyal fan of the movies. And now [George Lucas is] out to stick it to those too young to know about Jar Jar Binks.' Varietymagazine reviewer Todd McCarthy said, 'This isn't the Star Wars we've always known and at least sometimes loved.'[40] Joe Neumiar, of the New York Daily News, wrote, 'If this were a true Star Wars film, right about now somebody would say, '..I've got a bad feeling about this.'[42] In his review for Entertainment Weekly, critic Owen Gleiberman gave the film an F grade and wrote, 'George Lucas is turning into the enemy of fun.'[43] Carrie Rickey, of The Philadelphia Inquirer, said, 'The best that can be said about the movie is that it's harmless and mostly charmless. The Clone Wars is to Star Wars what karaoke is to pop music.'[41]

Remember how people talked about the Star Wars prequels like they were the worst movies ever made, when really, come on, they weren't THAT bad? The Clone Wars actually IS that bad.
— Film critic, Eric D. Snider[44]

The main criticism toward the film was the animation. Many criticized it as cheap, wooden, non-engaging, and out-of-date;[36][37][39][40][41][45][46] some reviewers drew negative comparisons to 1960s marionette-based shows Thunderbirds and Fireball XL5,[39][42][46][47] although George Lucas previously said the animation style was a deliberate homage to such shows.[13] Tom Long of The Detroit News said the animation 'is downright weak compared to what's generally seen on screens these days'[48] and said the characters are so stiff they look like they were 'carved by Pinocchio's father.'[48]Roger Ebert gave the film 1.5 stars out of 4 and said 'the characters have hair that looks molded from Play-Doh, bodies that seem arthritic, and moving lips on half-frozen faces—all signs that shortcuts were taken in the animation work.'[37] McCarthy said 'the movements, both of the characters and the compositions, look mechanical, and the mostly familiar characters have all the facial expressiveness of Easter Island statues.' But some of the same reviewers who criticized the animation acknowledged some positive elements about it; McCarthy said it allowed for 'somewhat more dramatic compositions and color schemes,'[40] and Carrie Rickey, of The Philadelphia Inquirer, said the scenery and backgrounds were 'vivid and alive',[41] although she said the characters 'move as you would imagine the statues at a waxworks might.'[40]

Reviewers also criticized the dialogue, which Ebert said was limited to 'simplistic declamations'[37] and Claudia Puig of USA Today described as 'stilted and overblown, a problem also in some of the live-action incarnations.'[36] Many critics also said that the battle scenes were repetitive and lacked tension;[36][37][40][43][49] McCarthy described the action sequences as 'a little exposition, an invasion; some more exposition, a lightsaber fight; a bit more blah-blah, a spaceship dogfight, and on and on.'[40] Linda Stasi, of the New York Post, also described the lack of character development in the film, writing that whereas the original Star Wars films dedicated time to allowing viewers to get to know the characters, 'Director Dave Filoni is so concentrated on the action that we're never given the chance to care who lives and who is blown into spare parts.'[45] Jason Anderson, of the Globe and Mail, wrote that although The Clone Wars is intended for younger audiences, 'parents may be perturbed by the film's relentless violence.'[49] Ebert also found protagonist Ahsoka Tano 'annoying,'[37] and Michael Rechtshaffen, of The Hollywood Reporter, said the attempts of humor amid the bickering between Ahsoka Tano and Anakin Skywalker are 'strained'.[46] Puig said she enjoyed the character, and that 'her repartee with Anakin enlivens things.'[36]

Box office[edit]

The Clone Wars earned $68,282,845 worldwide, including $35,161,554 in North American domestic box office grosses and $33,121,290 in international grosses.[3] The film earned $14,611,273 on 3,452 screens in its opening weekend,[50] including $6,228,973 on its opening day, August 15.[51] It was the third-highest earning film of the weekend, behind Tropic Thunder and The Dark Knight, which earned $25.8 million and $16.3 million, respectively.[50] Dan Fellman, head of distribution for Warner Bros., said the box office performance met expectations because two-thirds of the audience were families and the budget for the film was $8.5 million, frugal considering it was a CGI film, and because the film was meant to introduce the animated series. Fellman said, 'It was targeted to a specific audience for specific reasons. We accomplished that mission, and it will continue in another medium.'[2] When The Clone Wars dropped to $5.6 million in its second week of release, ContactMusic.com described it as 'the first bona fide Star Wars flop.'[52] The film also earned $23,428,376 from DVD sales in the US.[53]

Accolades[edit]

The film was nominated for a Golden Raspberry Award in the category 'Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel'.[54]
