->''"Like fire, across the galaxy, the Clone Wars spread."''
-->-- '''Yoda'''
''Star Wars: Clone Wars'' is an AnimatedAdaptation Miniseries, written and directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, and produced by CartoonNetwork. ''Clone Wars'' is set in the ''StarWars'' universe, between the events of ''[[AttackOfTheClones Episode II]]'' and ''[[RevengeOfTheSith Episode III]]''. Where the prequel trilogy teases us with the beginning and end of the Clone Wars, this miniseries puts the "Wars" back in Star Wars and actually shows the meat of that galaxy-spanning conflict.
It should not be confused with the CG film and TV series ''[[StarWarsTheCloneWars Star Wars:]] '''[[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]]''' [[StarWarsTheCloneWars Clone Wars]]''. It could be considered a spiritual pilot for that series, but the two don't have any of the same writers.
The first half of the series (Seasons 1 and 2) shows Obi-wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker leading the Clone forces in the Battle of Muunilinst. Obi-wan leads the ground forces, and ends up battling the mercenary Durge. Meanwhile, Anakin leads the space battle, then gets drawn into a one-on-one fight with the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress.
Interspersed with this are shorter scenes from other characters and other battles: ARC troopers taking a key enemy position, Kit Fisto fighting underwater, Yoda and Padme rescuing two Jedi ambushed on an ice planet, and Mace Windu battling an army on Dantooine.
Then General Grievous shows up and [[HeroKiller kills a bunch of Jedi]].
The second half of the series (Season 3) has only two main storylines and no side-stories. Beginning with the rescue of the Jedi from the last season's cliffhanger, it shows the tide of the war shifting against the Republic due to Grievous' arrival. The Jedi Council responds by promoting Anakin to Jedi Knight. A montage of Anakin kicking butt ensues, then he and Obi-wan are dispatched to Nelvaan to find Grievous. In this story, Anakin receives a [[MushroomSamba trippy vision quest]] that foreshadows his later fall to the Dark Side.
Meanwhile, Grievous leads a massive attack on Coruscant. Yoda and Mace Windu lead the counter-attack, while Shaak Ti attempts to escort Chancellor Palpatine to safety.
The animation style is similar to ''SamuraiJack'', but with outlines and [[ConspicuousCG CG spaceships]]. The series was originally broadcast as four-minute episodes for the first two seasons, then as twelve-minute episodes for the third season. Even in this format, the series earned an Emmy award.
----
!!This miniseries provides examples of:
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Used by Obi-wan and Anakin to sneak into an enemy base.
* AdaptationDistillation
* AllThereInTheManual: Actually, this ''was'' the manual for portions of Episode III as it was meant to bridge the gap between Episode II and III, in particular introducing General Grievous, showing C-3PO's new gold plating, Anakin becoming a Jedi Knight (as well as the cosmetic changes he and Obi-Wan undergo) and especially showing the Battle of Coruscant where Episode III drops everyone into the tail end of it.
* ArmCannon: Most of the Nelvaanian warriors were given these as part of their grotesque body modifications. They tear them off after Anakin loses his own cybernetic arm, as a sign of respect to "holt kazed" -- and to symbolize that they won't let themselves be what the Techno Union turned them into.
* AscendedExtra: Shaak Ti.
* BackToBackBadasses: Both used straight by many Jedi, and mixed with DeadlyDodging by Shaak Ti.
* {{Badass}}:
** Mace Windu.
** General Grievous, notably moreso than in the live-action film.
** Captain Fordo, leader of the ARC trooper squad.
* BaldWoman: Asajj Ventress. Also, BaldOfEvil, obviously.
* BeamSpam: A ''lot'' of it.
* {{BFG}}: Some of the ARC troopers are armed with this.
* BigEntrance: Our introduction to General Grievous.
* BloodlessCarnage: Very little of any remains are shown. Taken to ridiculous extremes when there is no visible body left after General Grievous' GoombaStomp.
* BodyHorror:
** What happens to the male Nelvaanians.
** What Obi-wan does to Durge.
* BrokenFaceplate: In one scene, General Grievous grasps a clone trooper's head with his clawed foot and smashes him against a wall so hard that his helmet shatters and his jaw is visible. [[BloodlessCarnage There's no blood]], but it's reasonable to assume that trooper is down for good.
* CaptainObvious: "The city is under attack!" Said by Windu to Yoda, as a veritable ''rain'' of droid starfighters are flying past a Jedi Temple window.
* ChaseFight: The Jedi and General Grievous during the battle of Coruscant. The Jedi are trying to get Palpatine to a safe bunker while Grievous and his Magnaguards are trying to kidnap him. [[spoiler: It all comes to naught in the end, though, as Grievous somehow made it there ahead of them.]]
* {{Chiaroscuro}}:
** The knighting ceremony.
** Anakin's fight with Asajj briefly has them fighting in a darkened tunnel. All you can see is the red-blue reflections of their lightsabers.
* ClaspYourHandsIfYouDeceive: Palpatine does this in his first scene, complete with what sounds vaguely like bones rattling when he taps his fingertips together.
* ClifftopCaterwauling: Anakin, after his fight with Ventress.
* ConspicuousCG / CelShading: Spaceships were animated with cel-shaded CG.
* ContestWinnerCameo: Of a sort. Cartoon Network ran a poll to choose which of three new Jedi would appear in the first season finale: WolfMan Voolvif Monn, yeti-like Foul Moudama, or Ithorian Roron Corobb.

* HandSignals: Used by the ARC troopers during the stealth mission in episode 3.
* HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic:
** Averted with the clone troopers, as even the ones who get a degree of individual characterization never remove their helmets.

* LockAndLoadMontage: A couple of them.
* MacrossMissileMassacre: Used twice by Anakin during the space battle in the first season.

* MakeMeWannaShout: Roron Corobb, due to Ithorians having four throats.

* MoreDakka: Almost all the ranged weapons are fired continuously until the opponent is reduced to scrap.
* MushroomSamba: Anakin's vision in the cave.

* NoDialogueEpisode: A few combat-centric or clone-centric episodes. Helped by the fact that the episodes are only about four minutes long.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Palpatine pretends to be horribly GenreBlind while he's being chased by Grevious.
* OneManArmy:
** Many Jedi, most notably Mace Windu and Yoda.
** The first scene in Episode 22 has a commander of a droid base bragging that it would take at least 50 Jedi to take it. The droid standing next to him tells him there are Jedi approaching.

* PendulumWar: Constantly, with the ground battle for Muunilinst being the best example.
* PersonOfMassDestruction:

** The ARC troopers to a lesser extent.

->''"Like fire, across the galaxy, the Clone Wars spread."''
-->-- '''Yoda'''
''Star Wars: Clone Wars'' is an AnimatedAdaptation Miniseries, written and directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, and produced by CartoonNetwork. ''Clone Wars'' is set in the ''StarWars'' universe, between the events of ''[[AttackOfTheClones Episode II]]'' and ''[[RevengeOfTheSith Episode III]]''. Where the prequel trilogy teases us with the beginning and end of the Clone Wars, this miniseries puts the "Wars" back in Star Wars and actually shows the meat of that galaxy-spanning conflict.
It should not be confused with the CG film and TV series ''[[StarWarsTheCloneWars Star Wars:]] '''[[SpellMyNameWithAThe The]]''' [[StarWarsTheCloneWars Clone Wars]]''. It could be considered a spiritual pilot for that series, but the two don't have any of the same writers.
The first half of the series (Seasons 1 and 2) shows Obi-wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker leading the Clone forces in the Battle of Muunilinst. Obi-wan leads the ground forces, and ends up battling the mercenary Durge. Meanwhile, Anakin leads the space battle, then gets drawn into a one-on-one fight with the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress.
Interspersed with this are shorter scenes from other characters and other battles: ARC troopers taking a key enemy position, Kit Fisto fighting underwater, Yoda and Padme rescuing two Jedi ambushed on an ice planet, and Mace Windu battling an army on Dantooine.
Then General Grievous shows up and [[HeroKiller kills a bunch of Jedi]].
The second half of the series (Season 3) has only two main storylines and no side-stories. Beginning with the rescue of the Jedi from the last season's cliffhanger, it shows the tide of the war shifting against the Republic due to Grievous' arrival. The Jedi Council responds by promoting Anakin to Jedi Knight. A montage of Anakin kicking butt ensues, then he and Obi-wan are dispatched to Nelvaan to find Grievous. In this story, Anakin receives a [[MushroomSamba trippy vision quest]] that foreshadows his later fall to the Dark Side.
Meanwhile, Grievous leads a massive attack on Coruscant. Yoda and Mace Windu lead the counter-attack, while Shaak Ti attempts to escort Chancellor Palpatine to safety.
The animation style is similar to ''SamuraiJack'', but with outlines and [[ConspicuousCG CG spaceships]]. The series was originally broadcast as four-minute episodes for the first two seasons, then as twelve-minute episodes for the third season. Even in this format, the series earned an Emmy award.
----
!!This miniseries provides examples of:
* AbsurdlySpaciousSewer: Used by Obi-wan and Anakin to sneak into an enemy base.
* AdaptationDistillation
* AllThereInTheManual: Actually, this ''was'' the manual for portions of Episode III as it was meant to bridge the gap between Episode II and III, in particular introducing General Grievous, showing C-3PO's new gold plating, Anakin becoming a Jedi Knight (as well as the cosmetic changes he and Obi-Wan undergo) and especially showing the Battle of Coruscant where Episode III drops everyone into the tail end of it.
* ArmCannon: Most of the Nelvaanian warriors were given these as part of their grotesque body modifications. They tear them off after Anakin loses his own cybernetic arm, as a sign of respect to "holt kazed" -- and to symbolize that they won't let themselves be what the Techno Union turned them into.
* AscendedExtra: Shaak Ti.
* BackToBackBadasses: Both used straight by many Jedi, and mixed with DeadlyDodging by Shaak Ti.
* {{Badass}}:
** Mace Windu.
** General Grievous, notably moreso than in the live-action film.
** Captain Fordo, leader of the ARC trooper squad.
* BaldWoman: Asajj Ventress. Also, BaldOfEvil, obviously.
* BeamSpam: A ''lot'' of it.
* {{BFG}}: Some of the ARC troopers are armed with this.
* BigEntrance: Our introduction to General Grievous.
* BloodlessCarnage: Very little of any remains are shown. Taken to ridiculous extremes when there is no visible body left after General Grievous' GoombaStomp.
* BodyHorror:
** What happens to the male Nelvaanians.
** What Obi-wan does to Durge.
* BrokenFaceplate: In one scene, General Grievous grasps a clone trooper's head with his clawed foot and smashes him against a wall so hard that his helmet shatters and his jaw is visible. [[BloodlessCarnage There's no blood]], but it's reasonable to assume that trooper is down for good.
* CaptainObvious: "The city is under attack!" Said by Windu to Yoda, as a veritable ''rain'' of droid starfighters are flying past a Jedi Temple window.
* ChaseFight: The Jedi and General Grievous during the battle of Coruscant. The Jedi are trying to get Palpatine to a safe bunker while Grievous and his Magnaguards are trying to kidnap him. [[spoiler: It all comes to naught in the end, though, as Grievous somehow made it there ahead of them.]]
* {{Chiaroscuro}}:
** The knighting ceremony.
** Anakin's fight with Asajj briefly has them fighting in a darkened tunnel. All you can see is the red-blue reflections of their lightsabers.
* ClaspYourHandsIfYouDeceive: Palpatine does this in his first scene, complete with what sounds vaguely like bones rattling when he taps his fingertips together.
* ClifftopCaterwauling: Anakin, after his fight with Ventress.
* ConspicuousCG / CelShading: Spaceships were animated with cel-shaded CG.
* ContestWinnerCameo: Of a sort. Cartoon Network ran a poll to choose which of three new Jedi would appear in the first season finale: WolfMan Voolvif Monn, yeti-like Foul Moudama, or Ithorian Roron Corobb. Voolvif won, but it ended up subverted when the other two showed up in the second season with larger roles than his. And then [[spoiler: got killed by Grievous]].
* ContinuityNod: Numerous lines from the original trilogy appear in different contexts: "I have you now", "What a wonderful smell you've discovered", "Impressive. Most impressive", "There are alternatives to fighting", and of course, "I've got a bad feeling about this."
* CosmeticAward: [[BadAss Captain Fordo]] (The red ARC trooper) got a unique helmet insignia for his service in fighting Grevious in the beginning of season 3. An unusual case of a cosmetic award actually being considered good -- it's a highly prized Mandalorian symbol of heroism and honor.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Asajj and Anakin [[ClimbingClimax climb to the top of a cliff.]] Anakin pummels her so hard the part of the cliff she's standing on gives way and she falls into the darkness. Of course she was much too awesome a villain to kill off, so she returned in the expanded universe and ''TheCloneWars''.
