Star Wars: Clone Wars

<div style="text-align: right;"><img src="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/mrjag/shaak_ti.jpg" border="0" /><!--right--></div><strong>Star Wars: Clone Wars</strong> is an animated television miniseries set in the <strong>Star Wars galaxy</strong>. The series chronicles the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic under Chancellor Palpatine, and the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS) under Count Dooku. Chronologically, the series takes place during the three-year time period between the films Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. The original television series was produced by Cartoon Network Studios in association with Lucasfilm Ltd., and aired in 25 chapters from 2003 to 2005. <div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/mrjag/swcwlogo.jpg" border="0" /><!--center--></div> The original series consists of 10 three-minute installments for Season 1 and 10 three-minute installments for Season 2 (later known as Volume 1), and five 12-to-15 minute installments for Season 3 (later called Volume 2). The series follows the Jedi in their exploits fighting the Separatist movement against the Galactic Republic. The 25 episodes are mostly comprised of energetic set-piece battles. Many characters from the films are featured prominently, while other episodes feature minor characters from the films and/or those from the Expanded Universe. Since much emphasis is placed on action, the story and plot is less developed than in the films. <div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/mrjag/swcws.jpg" border="0" /><!--center--></div> - Season One and Season Two / DVD Volume One The main storyline features Obi-Wan Kenobi being assigned to lead an assault on the planet Muunilist, with his apprentice Anakin Skywalker leading the battle in space above. Meanwhile, Separatist leader Count Dooku takes in the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress as his apprentice and sends her off to assassinate Anakin. Anakin diverts his attention in the middle of battle to pursue Ventress to Yavin 4, where he manages to defeat her in a lightsaber duel, though only through the means of fear and anger, the path to the dark side of the Force. Surrounding this storyline are various different battles focusing on other Jedi and their clone troops, including: * Obi-Wan Kenobi confronting the bounty hunter Durge on Muunilist * Kit Fisto leading an underwater assault on Mon Calamari * Mace Windu single-handedly destroying a seismic tank on Dantooine * Yoda and Padmé Amidala rescuing Luminara Unduli and her apprentice Barris Offee on Ilum * Ki-Adi-Mundi, Shaak Ti and Aayla Secura ambushed by droid commander General Grievous on Hypori - Season Three/DVD Volume Two The story picks up directly from Anakin's defeat of Ventress and Obi-Wan's victory on Muunilist. After much consideration, the Jedi Council decides to promote Anakin to a Jedi Knight. Three years later, Anakin and Obi-Wan are assigned to a mission to the Outer Rim Territories to liberate a group of Nelvaanians enslaved and mutated for the use of the Separatists. Meanwhile, General Grievous leads an assault on Coruscant and, despite the best efforts of Yoda, Mace Windu and Shaak Ti, kidnaps Supreme Chancellor Palpatine for his master Count Dooku. Anakin manages to fulfill his mission, though he once again draws upon his anger, then sets out with Obi-Wan to rescue the Chancellor over Coruscant (as seen in the opening minutes of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith). - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Clone_Wars_" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_Clone_Wars_</a>(2003_TV_series) <img src="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/mrjag/darth_sidious.jpg" border="0" /> <a href="http://www.starwars.com" target="_blank">http://www.starwars.com</a> **** Comment from club creator: the production of the "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" (<strong>2008 CG TV series</strong>) was not a good idea. I dislike it. There was already too much Clone Wars material.
