As "Clone Wars" unfolds, the valiant Jedi Knights lead the Republic’s Clone Army against both familiar and new adversaries across the galaxy. These new characters, epic battles and intricate stories will add an exciting new dimension to the "Star Wars" saga.
Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi are among the favorite characters appearing in new animated forms in the first 10 chapters of "Star Wars: Clone Wars." Kit Fisto, a Jedi who leads a special aquatic unit of Clone Troopers, leads an amphibious assault on the water planet of Mon Calamari. Count Dooku, the leader of the Separatist movement, appears, joined by a fierce female warrior trained in the ways of the Sith. The action in "Star Wars: Clone Wars" takes place on planets including Coruscant, Muunilist, Mon Calamari and Rattatak.
"It certainly fulfills one of my dreams to work on a project like "Star Wars" that is so thoroughly established it has become a part of our culture," said Genndy Tartakovsky, director and producer of "Star Wars: Clone Wars." "It’s an awesome assignment and I’m really honored to be a contributor to the "Star Wars" legacy."
"Genndy Tartakovsky and the team at Cartoon Network are tops in their field," said Howard Roffman, president of Lucas Licensing. "Their work on "Samurai Jack" shows that they can tell an epic story in a unique way, lavishing equal attention on dramatic battle scenes as well as the dramatic development of the characters."
