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. The TV series debuted on [[Cartoon Network]] in fall 2008, where it remained until moving to Netflix for its sixth season in 2014. It was later soft-rebooted and moved to Toon Disney after Disney's acquisition of the ''Star Wars'' properties. It got a revival with a seventh and final season on Disney+ in 2020, which eventually leads into the events of ''[[Revenge of the Sith\|Episode III]]''. 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]]. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} ~~{{examples\|The film and show provides examples of:}}~~ * [[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 [[~~Hitler~~Low-Angle ~~Cam~~Shot]]s. {{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 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. * [[Shout-Out]]: In "Clone Cadets" the training program variant that Bravo squad runs is [[THX 1138\|Version THX Variable 1138]]. A couple of first-season episodes have snuck in artifacts from ''[[Indiana Jones]]''. A senator had a cane styled after the Staff of Ra (which later served as a sort of [[Weapon Tombstone]]) and one of the treasures Wat Tambor tried to loot from Ryloth was the Ark of the Covenant. Much later at the end of the third season, a crystal skull is in the Trandoshans' trophy room. In the Season 4 episode, Friends and Enemies, even Indy's hat appear, as a possible replacement for Cad Bane's old hat. After little hesitation he chose another. Mace Windu losses his light saber on one side of a closing door and gets it back in last moment, similar to the ''[[Indiana Jones]]'' scene with the hat. One of the Trandoshans in the Season 3 finale is modeled after and named for [[The Big Lebowski\|Walter Sobchak]]. Obi-Wan Kenobi is close to a woman named [[Moulin Rouge\|Satine.]] The "Mercy Mission"/"Nomad Droids" arc is one long [[Shout-Out]], most extensively to ''[[The Wizard of Oz]],'' but also to ''[[Alice in Wonderland]]'', ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', and ''[[Gulliver's Travels]].'' If that isn't enough, there are also callbacks to the original ''[[Star Wars]]'' and ''[[Return of the Jedi]].'' * It is also highly reminiscent of the 80's Droids cartoon. In the climax of "Prisoners", Prince Lee-Char {{spoiler\|kills Riff Tamson by shooting an explosive attached to Riff's body while he charges at the prince. Riff Tamson [[Jaws (film)\|is a shark]].}} In the pawnshop scene of "Friends and Enemies", Cad Bane checks out Indy's fedora before settling on his own trademark hat. The relationship between Morley and {{spoiler\|Darth Maul}} in "Brothers" resembles the one between [[Lord of the Rings\|Gollum and Shelob]]. Upcoming character Commander Thorn was designed as an official congradulations to Joss Whedan and Marvel on the success of The Avengers. In a similar vein, clone trooer Appo's helmet stripe was redesigned from its ROTS design to include an [[Avatar: The Last Airbender]] styel arrow. * [["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}}.
