## Development

George Lucas first had the idea for an animated Clone Wars series in 2002. The show aired on Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2005, and Genndy Tartakovsky produced it. Lucas announced the show at Celebration III in April of 2005. Lucas hired Dave Filoni as the supervising director. His initial idea for the series revolved around a team, consisting of a smuggler, a Gungan named Lunker, a Jedi Padawan named Ashla, and her Jedi Master, who traveled aboard a spaceship. However, Lucas decided that the show would focus on the film characters while including some of Filoni's ideas.

By February 15, 2006, Lucasfilm Animation began working on animation tests and initial scripts, with Lucas playing a large part in the entire process. The crew used Autodesk software to animate the series and the Maya 3D modeling program to create highly detailed worlds, characters, and creatures. Industrial Light & Magic completed the script, character design, and art direction while Lucasfilm Animation Singaporecompleated the animation and rendering. Lucas revised most of the dialogues as Lucas desired more character development and that the. Lucas designed each episode of The Clone Wars to be stand-alone, with an opening narration and moral to each story.

## Plot Summary
