Star Wars: The Clone Wars is an American animated television series created by George Lucas. It is part of the Star Wars franchise, exploring the three-year time period between the films Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002) and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005). The Clone Wars are a series of conflicts fought between the Galactic Republic and a Separatist movement. The Republic's army is led by Jedi Knights and is made up of many clone troopers created from the genetic material of bounty hunter Jango Fett.[1][2] The series consists of both standalone episodes and multi-episode story arcs that follow different characters, and it features an ensemble cast.[3]
The Clone Wars were previously explored in a traditionally animated "micro-series" titled Star Wars: Clone Wars which was released between the two films.[4] Lucas announced a computer animated expansion of that series in 2005,[5] which became Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The original Clone Wars micro-series is no longer considered part of Star Wars canon.[4] After reviewing early episodes of the new series, Lucas decided to combine some into a film which was released theatrically on August 15, 2008. The series debuted on Cartoon Network on October 3, 2008, and ran for five seasons on the network. After Disney acquired Lucasfilm in October 2012, The Clone Wars was canceled in March 2013.
Many episodes were in different stages of production when the series was canceled. 13 completed episodes were released as a sixth season on Netflix in March 2014. Several other story arcs were released in alternate forms later in 2014, under the bannner The Clone Wars Legacy, and details on further story arcs were revealed in the following years. In July 2018, a final season of The Clone Wars was announced for Disney+. 12 of the series' previously unfinished episodes were completed for the season, which was released in early 2020.
During the course of the series, 133 episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars were released over seven seasons, between October 3, 2008, and May 4, 2020.

Opening sequence
editMost episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars begin with the same opening sequence: the series' logo appears in yellow;[6] a phrase of wisdom, which the production referred to as a "fortune cookie", is shown to highlight the moral of the story;[7] and a recap of previous events establishes the premise of the episode. The latter is narrated by Tom Kane in the style of World War II newsreels such as The March of Time.[8]
Note: The below list of episodes includes the "fortune cookie" phrases at the start of each plot summary. Changes to the opening sequence for some episodes are stated at the start of the relevant season table.
Episode order
editThe Clone Wars was designed to be an anthology, combining standalone episodes and multi-episode arcs that were not necessarily produced or released in chronological order.[3] Some episodes in later seasons were set directly before or after episodes of earlier seasons, which Eric Goldman of IGN described as being "amusingly out-of-order" in the classic Star Wars manner;[9] the main Star Wars films were also released out of chronological order.[10] StarWars.com published an official chronological episode order for the series—including the theatrical film and all six seasons—in March 2014, after the series was canceled and released on Netflix.[11] Several unfinished episodes that were released in alternate forms were added to the website's list in June 2015,[12] but these were removed in May 2020 when the final season was added to the list and each episode was linked to Disney+.[13]
Note: The key differences between the episode release order and the official chronological order are stated at the start of the relevant season table in the below list of episodes.
Theatrical film
editAfter reviewing early episodes of the series, creator George Lucas decided to combine some into a film.[14][15] This was released theatrically by Warner Bros. Pictures on August 15, 2008.[16] Critical reception was negative and the box-office grosses were relatively low, but Warner Bros. still considered the film a success due to it reaching the series' target audience. It grossed $68.3 million worldwide against an $8.5 million budget.[17][18]

Early in the Clone Wars, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker is frustrated to be assigned a young Padawan learner, Ahsoka Tano. The pair are sent to retrieve Rotta, the kidnapped son of Crime Lord Jabba the Hutt, from the planet Teth. Separatist assassin Asajj Ventress records Anakin holding Rotta and expressing his dislike of Hutts, which Separatist leader and Sith lord Count Dooku shows to Jabba to frame the Jedi for Rotta's kidnapping. Anakin's mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi arrives on Teth and duels Ventress while Republic senator Padmé Amidala, who is secretly married to Anakin, confronts Jabba's uncle Ziro the Hutt on Coruscant. Learning that Ziro has conspired with Dooku to kidnap Rotta, Padmé has Ziro arrested with the help of her droid C-3PO. Anakin and Ahsoka, who begin to gain respect for one another, travel to Tatooine to return Rotta to Jabba. Dooku attacks Anakin and believes that he has killed Rotta, but Ahsoka actually has Rotta and delivers him to Jabba unharmed. Padmé contacts Jabba to reveal Ziro's duplicity, and Jabba agrees to allow Republic forces to pass through his territory. |
Completed episodes
editSeason 1 (2008–09)
edit"Ambush" was originally planned to be released later in the season, but was moved to be the series premiere because the producers felt the Yoda-focused episode would be a strong start for the series and something that fans of the Star Wars franchise would enjoy.[19] The episode had the highest viewership for a series premiere on Cartoon Network, and the second highest for any program on the network after the television film Ben 10: Race Against Time (2007).[20] "The Hidden Enemy" is placed before the theatrical film in the chronological order, while "Hostage Crisis" is moved later in the order to follow the third season's "Evil Plans".[3][13]

The captured Almec mentions that Maul had hoped to lure Anakin to Mandalore, but is assassinated by Saxon before he can reveal why. As Bo-Katan's and Rex's forces lead a final assault against Maul's Mandalorians, Ahsoka confronts Maul again, who reveals that Sidious has engineered the destruction of both the Republic and the Jedi and asks Ahsoka to join him to stop Sidious.

As Ahsoka's clone troopers, including Rex, suddenly turn on her, she is forced to escape. Rex resists the order just long enough to mention the incident with Fives, allowing Ahsoka to learn about the inhibitor chips.
