[[File:250px-The_Clone_Wars_film_poster.jpg|frame]]
Line 6:
'''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 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 [[

Line 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 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}}.
