'''Obi-Wan Kenobi:''' "If only that were true." }}
A [[All CGI Cartoon|CG-animated film]] and [[Animated Series|television series]] set in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' universe, covering the period [[Interquel|between]] ''[[Attack of the Clones|Episode II]]'' and ''[[Revenge of the Sith|III]]''. The film was released in the United States in August 2008.
It is easy to confuse this series with ''[[Star Wars: Clone Wars]]'', Genndy Tartakovsky's 2003 mini-episodic [[Animated Series]], which also aired on Cartoon Network, and covers the same time period. ''The Clone Wars'', while having no writers in common, [[Adaptation Expansion|borrows many design and plot elements from its predecessor]]. [[George Lucas]] is a producer, while Dave Filoni (known for his work on ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'') is director and head writer.
Line 21:
The Jedi serve as the generals of the war, with their own legion and loyal clone commanders. Anakin Skywalker is forcibly given a Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, and they deal with the various battles and adventures fought during this epic war. If you've seen ''Episode III: [[Revenge of the Sith]]'' (which is set three years after ''Attack of the Clones''), [[It Was His Sled|you know]] [[Foregone Conclusion|how this war ends]].

* [[Absolute Cleavage]]: The Daughter's outfit.
** Also, Suu Lawquane's outfit.
Line 158:
** Ahsoka. Some characters have called attention to it, but nobody really sees a problem with sending a fourteen-year-old into fatal situations when, by the very definition of being a Padawan, she has not yet even completed her training. This is especially evident in the early episodes, when Ahsoka would become depressed and self-critical after a defeat, showing that she is unable to cope with the emotional toll of warfare. After the short timeskip, the older Ahsoka instead seems to be more annoyed that Anakin has apparently realized this himself, and is holding her back from the more dangerous missions.
** In "Arc Troopers," during a Separatist invasion of Kamino several troopers wind up in the barracks for the still-children clones undergoing basic training. The cadets are armed and brought into the fight as part of a trap set for the droids sent to kill them and the other clones still being trained.
* [[Click. "Hello."]]: "Roger, Roger." BLAM.
* [[Clones Are People, Too]]: The series has several episodes which highlight [[We Have Reserves|the casual way that clones are discarded]], but it comes to a head in the Umbara arc. The clones begin to resist after they [[General Failure|continuosly receive horrible and incompetent orders]], demanding that their lives not just be ''wasted''. They ultimately [[Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal|turn on their leader]] claiming that they ae not [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?|droids]], but ''men.''
* [[Cloning Blues]]:
Line 166:
** Aurra Sing in "Hostage Crisis".
** An unnamed Mandalorian warrior in "Duchess of Mandalore".
* [[
** The clones' uniforms tell who they serve under. Blue for members of the 501st, which can usually be seen along side Anakin, and orange for the 212th attack battalion which is under Obi-Wan's command. [[Law of Chromatic Superiority|Red is for those stationed on Coruscant.]]
** In ''The Carnage of Krell'', the Clone Troopers are members of the 501st and thus wear blue, and the enemy Umbarans wearing stolen uniforms wear yellow. {{spoiler|Except the "enemies" are clone troopers as well, and ''both'' sides have been told the other were impersonators [[The Uriah Gambit|so they would wipe each other out.]]}}
Line 201:
** Savage Opress single-handedly demolishes a batallion of clones and slaughters two Jedi in "Monster".
** {{spoiler|Darth Maul}} and Savage curb-stomp Obi-Wan in "Revenge", with {{spoiler|Maul}} distracting him, then Savage getting the drop on him, brutally overpowering Obi-Wan, and ending with both of them beating Obi-Wan unconscious.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: around Seasons 3 and 4, [[Doomed by Canon|which is evitable]], considering [[Revenge of the Sith]] takes place after the series
* [[Day in The Limelight]]: Many episodes will be dedicated to minor characters. "Bombad Jedi" and "Shadow Warrior" has Jar Jar, "Lair of Grievous" has Kit Fisto, etc.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Obi-Wan sure loves dispensing sarcastic quips, even in the middle of a battle.
Line 264 ⟶ 265:
** Once {{spoiler|General Krell}} admits that he is a traitor, he laughs deeply in ''every following conversation''.
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: Savage Opress gets a deeper voice after the Nightsisters take control of him with their magic. Being voiced by [[Clancy Brown]] helps too.
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]: Count Dooku has to betray Asajj Ventress at Sidious' request, nearly resulting in her death. Asajj seeks shelter with the Nightsisters of Dathomir and begins plotting her revenge against Dooku. To this end she and the other Nightsisters [[Training
* [[Exactly What I Aimed At]]: In a fight with Pre Viszla, Ahsoka slashes his jetpack. He commends her on the close call, only for her to explain that she didn't miss. He quickly realizes that his jetpack is about to explode and ditches it.
* [[Executive Meddling]]:
Line 431 ⟶ 432:
** Ahsoka and Rex share the role for Anakin.
* [[Large Ham]]:
** Doc Vindi, played by Michael York. He is pretty much a [[Card-Carrying Villain|card-carrying]] [[Hammer Horror|Hammer]] villain, complete with dramatic underlighting, thick German accent and exclusive use of his own personal [[
{{quote|'''Jar-Jar:''' Yousa not creatin' life! Yousa ''takin'' life!
'''Vindi:''' Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yes yeah yeah yeah ''yes!'' }}
Line 561 ⟶ 562:
* [[Reverse Grip]]: Ahsoka's standard lightsaber posture, although there are some times where the switches to a traditional hold during actual combat. In the season two episode "Brain Invaders" [[Continuity Nod|she holds her fork in the same fashion]] when she and Bariss are eating in the messhall.
* [[Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves]]: Apparently, despite being backed primarily by wealthy merchant conglomerates, the Separatists as a whole are cheap as hell, since their preferred method of payment is a lightsaber through the back. Then again, when you are dealing with a crazy dark Jedi or a crazy cyborg and start making demands, [[Tempting Fate|you are really just asking for it]].
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]] The [http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Convor Convoree] from the Season3 finale, and their [https://web.archive.org/web/20111203052035/http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Unidentified_Kiros_bird recycled version] from Season4.
* [[Ridiculously-Human Robots]]: The separatist battle droids are full of humorous charm and personality.
** Taken up a notch in "A Friend In Need". Death Watch has a bunch of harmless battle droids they use for target practice. They beg for mercy and scream "Why?" (albeit in monotone), then beg to be repaired by R2 as they ''crawl'' to him for help. It is very satisfying when R2 gives them the chance to get some retribution.
Line 588 ⟶ 589:
* [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog]]: For all their [[Character Development|character developments]], [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|crowning moments of awesome]], [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|crowning moments of heartwarming]] and [[Big Damn Heroes]] moments... these clone troopers are still going to end up executing Order 66, slaughter all the Jedi and [[Doomed by Canon|become evil stormtroopers]].
* [[Shoot Your Mate]]: Darth Sidious orders Count Dooku to kill {{spoiler|Asajj Ventress}} in order to test his loyalty, claiming that refusing to comply would indicate his plan to eventually overthrow Sidious with {{spoiler|Ventress's}} help.
* [["Shut Up" Kiss]]: A somewhat more literal example than most. {{spoiler|Ahsoka is chewing out Lux for trusting Deathwatch while they're waiting for Pre Viszla. Noticing that Pre Viszla's headed for the tent, Lux kisses her to shut her up. She had passed herself off as his betrothed to avoid suspicion, hence it was the only way to do it believably. It's very awkward and not meant to be romantic.}}
* [[Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids]]: {{spoiler|General Krell claims that is no longer naive enough to believe in the ways of the Jedi, which is why he is planning to betray the Republic and defect to the Separatists}}.
Line 642 ⟶ 630:
** A clone in a gunship flying through flak during the Second battle of Geonosis: "Good thing those bugs can't aim!"
** TX-20 may want to run those figures again...
{{quote|'''TX-20:''' Their chances of success against us are [[If My Calculations Are Correct|742 to 1]].
'''Wat Tambor:''' You had better be right!
'''TX-20:''' I am a droid. [[Smug Snake|I am always right.]] }}
* [[Terrifying Rescuer]]: Obi-wan scares the crap out of an alien he's trying to rescue from slave traders, because he's disguised as one of them.
Line 705 ⟶ 693:
* [[You Are Number Six]]: General Krell makes a deliberate point of referring to every clone trooper by their identification number instead of by the nicknames that they have been given by fellow clones. He does refer to Sergeant Appo by his nickname, and even uses Rex's name at one point, so it seems that using the identification numbers is something he only does [[Full Name Ultimatum|when he is mad at the clone in question]] or [[Tyrant Takes the Helm|when he is proving a point]]. Which is most of the time.
* [[You Fool!]]: At the conclusion of Umbara arc, {{spoiler|General Krell}} decrees that Dogma was "the biggest fool of all."
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]:
** Grievous, frequently, but it helps that he does this to droids. One episode had a droid continually irritating him, [[Trailers Always Spoil|and any viewer who saw the trailer]] was wondering when he would get his head smacked off.
** In a more brutal example, the leader of Death Watch casually kills one of his men for failing to kill Obi-Wan.
Line 719 ⟶ 707:
** Boba Fett's quest for revenge against Mace Windu for killing his father/genetic template Jango in ''[[Attack of the Clones]]''.
** "Padawan Lost" features a father determined to avenge the death of his son.
* [[Young and
* [[You Remind Me of X]]:
** At the conclusion of "Arc Troopers," Commander Cody and Captain Rex congratulate Echo and Fives on their performance during the battle. Rex explains that they showed valor and real courage, and then says that they reminded him of himself.
