Star Wars: The Clone Wars (multimedia project)



The Star Wars: The Clone Wars multimedia project is an ongoing project created by Lucasfilm Ltd., in conjunction with Del Rey, Dark Horse Comics, Cartoon Network and LucasArts. The main focus of the project is the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series that premiered in 2008 and is scheduled to conclude in 2019 with a final season.

Chronicling the three year period of the Clone Wars between the films Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones (2002) and Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith (2005), the project consists of a vast array of novels, comic books, video games and other media.

Feature film
The TV series was preceded by a full-length 3D animated feature film, directed by Dave Filoni. The film was released theatrically on August 14, 2008 and focused on Jedi Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ahsoka Tano foiling a scheme by Count Dooku to kidnap Rotta, the son of influential gangster Jabba Desilijic Tiure

Television
The TV series premiered on Cartoon Network October 3, 2008 with the episode Ambush and ended its run on the channel with "The Wrong Jedi", the final episode of the fifth season. A sixth season, titled The Lost Missions, was shown on the Netflix streaming service, after which the series was cancelled.

Legacy
Eight unfinished episodes were released on StarWars.com in story-reel form as part of The Clone Wars Legacy project in 2014-2015.

Revival
On July 19, 2018 at San Diego Comic-Con, Dave Filoni announced the return of The Clone Wars for a revival season. The season is scheduled to comprise twelve episodes and is set to air in late 2019, concluding the series.

Continuity
On April 25, 2014, much of the pre-existing Expanded Universe material was declared non-canon by Lucasfilm Ltd., although the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series and the 2008 film remained canon.

Wookieepedia treats the 2008 feature film and seasons one through six as belonging to both "Legends" and canon continuities. Tie-in media published prior to the LucasFilm declaration of April 25, 2014 is considered solely "Legends", while television episodes and tie-in material published after that date is exclusively canon.
