Star Wars: The Clone Wars (CGI Animated Series)

October 3, 2008 - May 4, 2020

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is an 2008 computer-animated television shows created by George Lucas and produced by LucasFilm Animation, Lucasfilm Ltd and CGCG Inc. The series began with a theatrical feature film that was released on August 15, 2008, and debuted on Cartoon Network two months later on October 3, 2008. It is set in the fictional Star Wars galaxy during the three years between the prequel films Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, the same time period as the previous 2D 2003 TV series Star Wars: Clone Wars. Each episode has a running time of 22 minutes to fill a half-hour time slot. Dave Filoni is the supervising director of the series.

The Clone Wars was a massive ratings success, becoming one of Cartoon Network's highest rated shows during its initial run. Throughout its run, the series received mostly positive reception from critics, receiving praise for its writing, action, characters, visuals, voice acting, music, scale and tone. The series has also garnered a massive fan following and was also nominated for many industry awards, including the Daytime Emmy Awards and the Annie Awards.

In early 2013, Lucasfilm announced that The Clone Wars would be "winding down". Thirteen episodes composing a new sixth season were made available in the U.S. for streaming on Netflix, along with the entirety of the series, beginning March 7, 2014. A project known as The Clone Wars Legacy adapted unproduced story arcs into other formats, such as comics and novels. The series was revived for a seventh and final season of 12 new episodes, which premiered on Disney+ on February 21, 2020.
