This is a general reference page where I post my aides in sorting through the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series. Feel free to use it to your heart's content.

__ =Episode production= This is the order in which the episodes of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series were produced. As it can be seen, the episodes jumped around the timeline in an extremely confusing order, as opposed to their chronological story arcs.

Notes and references
=Timeline issues= The following is my attempt as a chronologist to organize all The Clone Wars episodes and related media where possible in a relative timeline so that I can claim credit for it if and when Lucasfilm Ltd. makes its own. Trust me, I'm only half joking. This analysis is meant to be used as a resource for sorting appearances throughout the series so that I might enable others to avoid the headaches that I get myself from trying to do so. I envision this as a method to ruling out the ways that the timeline cannot be organized. Please note that as this timeline is fan-made, it is nowhere near official and should therefore not be treated as such.

All episodes and related media are grouped by story arcs, which incorporate all directly confirmed chronology. Although I do not normally support speculation, some instances of it will be found throughout the following outline to help suggest more indicators to the chronology beyond those ones that are already confirmed. For a list of helpful and confirmed indicators to the timeline, see the bottom.

Aides in organizing the muddle

 * Primary indicator: whether Ahsoka Tano is actually there or not and how mature she is (as supplied by Filoni in The Official Episode Guide: Season 1), and how developed Rex's personality is
 * Secondary indicator: whether the Resolute is present or not, as it gets commissioned early on in the war
 * Because Lucasfilm apparently can't decide what they want to do with the Resolute, this article still makes an attempt to follow the established timeline. However, several sources so far (Prelude and "Cat and Mouse," in particular) appear to ignore Wild Space altogether, since Skytop Station is present in Prelude despite the fact that it was supposedly destroyed earlier in the timeline, and the Resolute appears in "Cat and Mouse" despite the fact that it was supposedly commissioned after Christophsis. Go figure. If Wild Space is to be canonically ignored (though I'd consider doing so, it leaves a rather big hole in everything), the Loss of R2-D2 story arc is going to have to come after the Rise of the Malevolence, in adherence to Season One's actual episode order.
 * Deaths of characters, as an individual can't step down from a Senate seat after he is killed (yes, Farr, I'm looking at you)

Other notes

 * In Clone Wars Gambit: Stealth, Anakin Skywalker mentions that the "last time" he engaged General Grievous was in the Battle of Bothawui. Whether this will have any effect on the placement of the Rise of the Malevolence&mdash;or Rookies, seeing as Skywalker fought Grievous in both story arcs&mdash;has yet to be seen, but it's unlikely that the episode order will be reshuffled that much just to appease this passing mention.
 * So far, it is supremely unclear whether Gambit on Lanteeb or Treaties on Taloraan comes first, as both deal with battles at Kothlis and neither make any sort of reference to the other. (It's almost certain that the battles weren't one and the same.) Basically, it is possible for either to come first at this point. Thank you, Clone Wars.
 * Apparently there is a chance that TCW could be placed with the Outer Rim Sieges, despite the clear timeline screw-up this causes. Gambit: Stealth mentions the Sieges, but whether that is a continuity error or not (like The Clone Wars novelization's reference to the Battle of Jabiim of 21 BBY?) remains to be seen.
