The first-ever animated series from Lucasfilm Animation, STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS chronicles the adventures of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Ahsoka Tano and other favorite STAR WARS characters as they struggle against the dark side during the divisive, action-packed Clone Wars. Dwindling numbers of Jedi fight to maintain freedom and restore peace to the galaxy, using their army of genetically engineered clones against the seemingly never-ending droid army. Across hundreds of planets, the Jedi and the evil Separatists fight for the future of the galaxy. The terrible conflict grows wider as our heroes are swept up in the turmoil of war, while the evil Count Dooku, his assassin Asajj Ventress, their master Darth Sidious, the mechanical General Grievous and a rogue’s gallery of never-before-seen villains scheme to defeat them. Lucasfilm Animation began pre-production on STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS in 2005, shortly after the release of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith. For three years, teams of animators, artists and storytellers in northern California and at production facilities in Singapore and Taipei worked together to create one of the most unique animated television series in history. Blending tremendous artistic talent with all-new animation technology, Lucasfilm Animation has produced 22 episodes for the series’ first season, which premiered to record ratings on TNT’s sister network, Cartoon Network, in October 2008.

| Star Wars Buzz Part III: 1977 | |
The Official Star Wars Site has provided a look into what things were like Pre-Star Wars as things ramped up for what would be the greatest blockbuster of all time! Here is a quote from Star Wars Buzz Part III of III back in 1977: "There can be little doubt that George Lucas has gone out on a limb. He has used the success of American Graffiti to put on film the dreams and fantasies of his childhood. He has spent $8 million in a genre where movies are usually done as cheaply as possible, resulting in shoddiness. The only question left about Star Wars is an old one, frequently asked since the Wright Brothers took their contraption to Kitty Hawk: 'But will it fly?'" Oh yeah baby! Did that Falcon ever fly!

| Star Wars Buzz Part II: 1976 | |
The Official Star Wars Site has provided a look into what things were like Pre-Star Wars as things ramped up for what would be the greatest blockbuster of all time! Here is a quote from Star Wars Buzz Part II of III back in 1976: Starting in the summer of 1976, the fan community was finally being targeted over a year before the film's release, thanks in large part to the efforts of Star Wars Corporation's publicist, Charles Lippincott. He had frequented comic book and science fiction conventions to get the word out about Star Wars (a strategy actually considered unconventional at the time), and also gave interviews with several fan-based publications such as Fantascene and The Buyer's Guide for Comic Fandom.
