Often credited for restoring the reputation of the prequel films, Star Wars: The Clone Wars is an animated series that greatly expands the scope and the stakes of the long-running sci-fi franchise.
Set between during the tumultuous conflict in-between Attack of the Clones (Lucas, 2002) and Revenge of the Sith (Lucas, 2005), the series follows Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi fighting for the Republic alongside previously unseen characters Ashoka Tano and Commander Rex.
The Clone Wars is a series of highs and lows – the standalone nature of each episode has many segments feeling like ‘filler’ and can be skipped by those looking for significant plot development. This show rewards patient Star Wars fans with new character insights of the beloved media franchise.
