Plot

edit

The series begins shortly afterAttack of the Clones,as the failingGalactic Republicand theJediare under siege from the Separatist Confederacy of Independent Systems and theSith.As the war rages on, more and more planets start to slip from Republic control.

Synopsis

edit

The main storyline of Volume One features the Jedi KnightObi-Wan Kenobileading an assault on the planetMuunilinst.This is the home of the Intergalactic Banking Clan,[4]benefactors of the Separatists wishing to break away from the Republic. The Banking Clan have hired a bounty hunter namedDurgeto command their droid armies on the battlefield. Obi-Wan's apprentice,Anakin Skywalker,is personally appointed to lead the space forces in the battle by Supreme ChancellorPalpatine.[5]Meanwhile, Separatist leaderCount Dookutakes the Force-sensitiveAsajj Ventressas his Sith apprentice and sends her to kill Anakin.[4]OnYavin 4,Anakin manages to defeat Ventress in alightsaberduel by drawing on his anger.[2]

Surrounding this storyline are various battles focusing on other Jedi and their wartime exploits. MasterMace Windufaces a droid army unarmed[4]onDantooine,MasterYodatravels to the ice world Ilum to save Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee, the amphibiousKit Fistoleads an aquatic regiment of clone troopers on the waterworldMon Cala,[5]and a group of stranded Jedi encounter the dreaded Jedi hunterGeneral Grievous[2]on Hypori.

Volume Two picks up right where Volume One ended, with Obi-Wan sending his team ofARC troopersto Hypori to rescue the Jedi from Grievous. The Republic is now desperate and, after much consideration, the Jedi Council decides to promote Anakin to the rank of Jedi Knight.[2]The series then jumps ahead to nearly the end of the war, when Anakin has become a much more powerful Jedi.

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 onCoruscantand, despite the best efforts of Yoda, Mace Windu,Shaak Ti,and others, he kidnaps Palpatine. Anakin and Obi-Wan then set out to rescue the Chancellor over Coruscant mere minutes before, and leading directly into, the beginning ofRevenge of the Sith.[2]

Continuity

edit

Several attempts were made to maintain continuity within the overall saga, most notably bridgingAttack of the ClonestoRevenge of the Sith.Anakin appears with his new lightsaber (as it appears inEpisode III) after his previous one was destroyed in the previous film.[6]In "Chapter 21",C-3POmakes his first appearance in gold plating[7]and Anakin is knighted.[8]He sends his Padawan braid toPadmé,who stores it with the necklace he gave her inThe Phantom Menace.[a]In "Chapter 22", Anakin appears with the facial scar he has inRevenge of the Sith,[10]and it is implied that Anakin and Padmé may have conceived theSkywalker twinsonNaboo.[11]

The series is notable for introducing one ofRevenge of the Sith‘s villains, General Grievous[2](in "Chapter 20" ), although some of his personality traits had yet to be finalized.[12]According to Genndy Tartakovsky,George Lucasinitially pitched Grievous to him and his crew as "this ruthless, totally capable Jedi killer," but later developed him into "one of those oldB-serialvillains who does something bad... twirls his mustache and then he runs off. "[12]The character was given a severe cough inRevenge of the Sith,intended to emphasize his organic nature and the flaws of his cyborgprosthetics.His depiction inClone Warslacked a cough until the concluding episode, in which Mace Windu Force-crushes the chestplate housing Grievous's internal organs. This was intended to create continuity with the film and was mentioned inits novelization.[13][7][14]However, theCGIThe Clone Warsseries (2008–2014, 2020) depicts Grievous as already being in this weakened state.[15]

Volume Two shares aspects of its storyline with the novelLabyrinth of Evil,which was created at the same time. Both the cartoon and book climax with the Jedi chasing Grievous on Coruscant to save Palpatine. The book features a different final duel between Windu and Grievous, but in both titles Shaak Ti acts as Palpatine's primary guardian.[16][17]In the series, Anakin and Obi-Wan investigate a possible base for Grievous on Nelvaan before being called back to Coruscant. The novel depicts the Jedi duo pursuing Count Dooku on Tythe. While fleeing to Coruscant, Dooku stops at Nelvaan to leave a false trail.[17][18][b]While the final season ofThe Clone Warsreferences Shaak Ti being sent to guard Palpatine, it depicts Anakin and Obi-Wan in yet a different location just prior toRevenge of the Sith.[16][c]

Clone Warsserved as apilotfor the CGIThe Clone Wars.[21][d]The character designer for the latter series attempted to translate aspects of the character designs from the 2D series to 3D.[23]It was originally reported that the 2008 series would not supersede the continuity of the 2003 series,[24]but followingDisney's acquisition ofLucasfilm,in 2014, it was announced that the CGIThe Clone Warswould officially be considered canon, while the 2003 series and most other spin-off works would not.[25][21][c]

Production

edit

Genndy Tartakovskyclaimed that Lucasfilm conceived of the series as a way to sell more action figures because theprequel trilogyfigures were underselling.[27]It was produced and directed by Tartakovsky, the creator ofDexter's LaboratoryandSamurai Jack,[21]and employs a similar animation style to the latter. According to Tartakovsky, the series was developed in two weeks, created by a small crew,[28]and "it was stressful because I had to translate this world I've loved since I was a kid into something completely different."[27]Originally, Lucas wanted each episode to be one minute long, which Tartakovsky resisted because it was equivalent to making a "commercial." Eventually, the team was able to convince Lucas to give 3-5 minutes duration after he learned that Tartakovsky was involved as both he and his son were fans ofSamurai Jack.[29]

Tartakovsky stated that he deliberately animatedC-3POwith moveable expressive eyes to pay homage to his animated appearances in theStar Wars Holiday SpecialandDroids.[30]Additionally, the planet Nelvaan's name was a nod toNelvana,the production company that produced all previousStar Warsanimated series.[31]In "Chapter 21", aDulokappears, which is a species that was introduced inEwoks.According to art directorPaul Rudish,the Banking Clan planet of Muunilinst was designed to look like aU.S. dollar bill.[32]

Although the show was largely animated in digital 2D, the motion of the spaceships wascel-shaded3D animation.[33]

As of 2019, thereview aggregatorwebsiteRotten Tomatoeslists four out of five critics as giving season 1 a positive review.[37]In 2009,Clone Warswas ranked 21 onIGN'sTop 100 Animated Serieslist.[38]

Various articles have been written about the series since its 2021 release onDisney+.ComicBook.com writes that it "is worth a watch for any fan of magnificent animation".[39]SyFy Wire's Phil Pirrello rated the series as the bestStar Warstelevision production ever produced, writing that Genndy Tartakovsky "gaveStar Warsits most dynamic visuals ever as he tackled all the Clone Wars action and conflict Lucas left out of his big-screen prequels. "Pirrello continues:" [W]hatClone Warslacks in intricate storytelling it more than makes up for with stunning animation and stirring action scenes. The mini-episodes are bare bones by design, as Tartakovsky employs a pure visual storytelling execution... The franchise has only taken such a bold stylistic risk this one time. "[40]Collider's Liam Gaughan calls the series "ahead of its time" and says it "better utilized the environments, planets, and tech designs [than] the prequels" as well as "side characters better suited for a brief adventure", concluding that it is "a striking piece of standalone animation that doesn't require comprehensive knowledge of the universe" and "a groundbreaking work of art".[41]Elijah Beahm ofThe Escapiststates that the series "took effectively everything people loved and hated about the prequel films – and made itwork."[42]

In a list of "Best Animated Star Wars Moments",/Filmcredits the series with marking "the arrival of a new era for animated storytelling that seriously expanded the canon of the galaxy far, far away", specifically praising the dialogue-free scenes of Mace Windu fighting battle droids without a lightsaber (calling it "a dream seeing the legend in action" ) and Anakin's premonitory hallucination of Vader's helmet on a cave wall (drawing a parallel toLuke's vision onDagobahinThe Empire Strikes Back).[43]

Legacy

edit

Elements of the series, including the regenerative villain Durge,[f]are mentioned in the 2005 novelization ofRevenge of the Sith.[52]According to the (now-defunct)Star WarsDatabank,Durge has a vendetta againstMandaloriansand extends this to the clones ofJango Fett.[51]Durge was considered for inclusion inThe Clone Wars,but was dropped in favor of the new bounty-hunter characterCad Bane.[53]Durge also appears in a 2021 issue of the canonMarvelcomic book seriesDoctor Aphra,as part of theWar of the Bounty Hunterscrossoverevent, set betweenThe Empire Strikes BackandReturn of the Jedi.[54][55]The 2023 video gameJedi: Survivorfeatures Rayvis, a member of Durge's species, the Gen'Dai.[56]

Nelvaan has been mentioned in canonreference books.[57]Versions of the medieval-style Jedi knighting ceremony have appeared in canon works such asStar Wars RebelsandJedi: Fallen Order.[8]A 2022Comic Book Resources(CBR) article opines that certain elements of the series which do not conflict with more recent works "are good enough to deserve canon status", such as the duel between Anakin and Ventress, the introduction of Grievous, and the knighting ceremony.[16]The 2022 Clone Wars novelBrotherhoodestablishes a new origin for Ventress, whichCBRinterprets as definitively demoting the series to non-canon status, calling the implication "a shame".[58]The book's author, Mike Chen, explains that he viewed Ventress and Skywalker's duel fromClone Warsas "kind of canon", like animated Republicpropagandaof Anakin's encounters with Dooku's agents (as referenced in the novel).[59]A 2022 issue ofObi-Wanreferences Mace Windu's battle on Dantooine.
