The series started with atheatrically released animated film;this decision was made after the production team watched completed footage of several early episodes for the planned television series, which were ultimately combined into a singlefeature-length film.[14][15]Warner Bros. Picturesdistributed the film, while subsequent episodes aired separately onCartoon Network.[16]For the film,Christopher Lee,Anthony Daniels,Samuel L. Jackson,andMatthew Woodreprised their roles asCount Dooku,C-3PO,Mace Windu,and theB1 Battle Droids,respectively, from the live-action films, but Lee and Jackson did not return for the television series.

On December 5, 2011, a full-length feature cut of one of the Season 3 trilogies of episodes (the one composed by "Nightsisters," "Monster," and "Witches of the Mist" ) was released for download oniTunesas an uninterrupted film[17]that was previously shown at selected screenings in 2010. The three episodes were written byKatie Lucas,who had previously written the Season 1 episode "Jedi Crash" as well as the Season 3 episodes "Sphere of Influence" and "Assassin." A repeat of season one aired in "decoded" episode format. Each installment contained unobtrusive text windows giving supplemental information about the characters and events playing out on screen.[18]

The series was cancelled in March 2013, after the conclusion of its fifth season, as a result ofThe Walt Disney Company's acquisition ofLucasfilmand the decision to "pursue a new direction in animated programming".[19]This new direction, described as "a whole newStar Warsseries set in a time period previously untouched inStar Warsfilms or television programming ", would yieldStar Wars Rebels,a series airing onDisney XDrather than Cartoon Network. At the time of the announcement, Lucasfilm teased that, while they were no longer producingThe Clone Warsepisodes for Cartoon Network, they were working on additional story arcs that would appear elsewhere.[19]A sixth season was released onNetflixon March 7, 2014, along with additional media, such as comic books and novels, based on unfinished story arcs that would have been included in the season.

In recognition of the release of the complete series on Netflix, on March 17, 2014, StarWars released the official chronological episode order for the first six seasons; this was later updated to include links to the episodes onDisney+.[20]

Four years later, Lucasfilm announced atSan Diego Comic-Conin July 2018 thatThe Clone Warswould return with 12 new episodes in a seventh season to be released on Disney+.[9]A trailer for the season was released on April 14, 2019, atStar WarsCelebration Chicago.On August 23, 2019, series creatorDave Filoniannounced at theD23 Expothat it would be the final season.[8][10]

Production

At April 2005'sStar WarsCelebration III,George Lucasannounced that "we are working on a3-Dcontinuation ofthe pilot seriesthat was on the Cartoon Network; we probably won't start that project for another year. "[22]Lucas hiredDave Filoniafter having seen episodes ofAvatar: The Last Airbender,which he had worked on.[23][a]By July 2005,pre-productionhad begun on the series, according toSteve Sansweet,head of Lucasfilm fan relations.[24]Sansweet referred to the series as "the next generation of theStar Warssaga, a cutting edge 30-minute, 3-D computer-animation series based on the Clone Wars that take place betweenEpisode II... andEpisode III."Sansweet described the look of the new series as" a melding of Asian anime with unique 3-D animation styling. "Primary production took place at theLucasfilm Animation facility in Singapore.[25]

According to another statement by Sansweet, "Lucasfilm Animation will be hiring a total of about 300 digital artists and others in both California and Singapore locations and is working with Cartoon Network animators to produce not only the series but animated feature films in the years ahead." He said about the series, "to get the series underway, Lucasfilm Animation has hired key production and creative talent to lead the development of its first animation project." Sansweet has said that "a large component of the future ofStar Warsand Lucasfilm isCGI animation."[citation needed] Lucasfilm Animation usedAutodesksoftwareto animate both the film and the series. TheMaya3D-modelingprogram was used to create the highly detailed worlds, characters and creatures.[26]

Character designer Kilian Plunkett referred to the character designs fromGenndy Tartakovsky's original 2003Clone Warsseries,[27]and animators reviewed designs from the 2D series when creating the animation style.[28]

In 2007,Rob Colemandivulged that one episode was complete, with 15 more in production, and that he was going to direct five of the first 22 episodes. He revealed that the reaction from licensees was very positive, and that the final assembly of shows was done atSkywalker Ranch.[29] Speaking atPaleyFeston March 3, 2007, Lucas revealed that the series would be episodic, and as such would not focus onAnakin Skywalker's story; with episodes dedicated toclone troopersand other characters.[30]Lucas revealed further information in a fan interview,[31]including a new character namedAhsoka Tano,over 100 episodes and a possible appearance byBoba Fett.The first trailer for the series was released on the officialStar Warswebsite on May 8, 2007.[32]In an interview in the September 24, 2007 issue ofTV Guide,Lucas confirmed that 39 episodes of the series had been completed.[33]

On April 8, 2007,Ain't It Cool Newsreported that musicianEric Riglerhad recorded music for the series.[34]Rigler disclosed that each planet in theStar Warsgalaxy would have its own theme music. The episode Mr. Rigler performed on was based on Bulgarianmusicand played onUilleann pipes.Kevin Kinercomposed the original score for each episode.

Stuart Snyder, who oversaw Cartoon Network and otherTurner Broadcasting Systemcable networks from 2007 to 2014, said he became interested in the newClone Warsseries immediately upon starting the job in May 2007. Snyder flew out to San Francisco, California to screen several episodes, and told Lucas the only place he wanted to see the show was on Cartoon Network. Snyder wished to create anaction/adventureblock of shows on Friday night in an attempt to rejuvenate Cartoon Network. Snyder expressed confidence that the shows would help boost ratings: "You catch me at a time where I have a smile on my face because of our internal results. I can say there's a little bit of bragging on the third quarter for us."[35]

Lucas considered excluding the "Young Padawans" arc from Season 5 and airing it separately fromThe Clone Warsas a feature-length pilot for aspin-offseries that never materialized. The pilot film was shown atStar WarsCelebration.[36]Seasons 6, 7, and 8, were in some form of production at the time of the show's cancellation in March 2013, shortly after Lucasfilm was purchased by Disney.[7][37]
