As the Clone Wars sweep through the galaxy, the heroic Jedi Knights struggle to maintain order and restore peace. More and more systems are falling prey to the forces of the dark side as the Galactic Republic slips further and further under the sway of the Separatists and their never-ending droid army. Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan learner Ahsoka Tano find themselves on a mission with far-reaching consequences, one that brings them face-to-face with crime lord Jabba the Hutt. But Count Dooku and his sinister agents, including the nefarious Asajj Ventress, will stop at nothing to ensure that Anakin and Ahsoka fail at their quest. Meanwhile, on the front lines of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Master Yoda lead the massive clone army in a valiant effort to resist the forces of the dark side.
Ashley Eckstein, voice of Ahsoka Tano, hosts an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of Cartoon Network's newest original series "Star Wars: The Clone Wars."
If you ignore the past, you jeopardize your future. Diplomacy or deception? The Council of Neutral Systems speaks for over 1,500 worlds who want to stay out of the war. But rumors have reached the Republic Senate suggesting that the Council's new leader -- Duchess Satine of Mandalore -- is secretly building her own army to fight for the Separatist cause! Now, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi has been sent to Mandalore to discover the truth behind these claims…
A wise leader knows when to follow. A highly seasoned strategist stands between the Republic fleet and beleaguered Republic forces on Christophisis. Anakin finds himself in command of an advanced prototype stealth ship with orders to ferry supplies to the weary troops on the planet below. Will he obey orders, or use the stealth ship to launch a sneak attack on the Separatist blockade?
Choose what is right, not what is easy The Republic's newest droid-disrupting weapon awakens a monstrous, near-invincible Zillo Beast from its underground hibernation. The Jedi face a dilemma: save the beast as the last specimen of its kind, or help the Dugs kill it and secure a treaty for critical fuel supplies?
The most dangerous beast is the beast within. When the Zillo Beast is brought back to Coruscant in hopes of learning the secret of its impenetrable armor, it instead breaks loose and rampages across the city-planet. As the clones prepare to kill it with poison gas, the Jedi are again trapped in a moral conflict between the value of its life and that of the planet's civilian populace
Adversity is friendship's truest test. Anakin Skywalker and Mace Windu are trapped in the crumbling ruins of a crashed ship while searching for survivors, and only R2-D2 can get out a message to save them... if he can elude vicious gundarks and, worse yet, a crew of determined bounty hunters led by Boba Fett and Aurra Sing.
Brothers in arms are brothers for life. Five headstrong clone cadets of Domino Squad struggle to complete their training on the ocean planet of Kamino. Unable to work together as a team, they must learn to embrace their future as soldiers before they are drummed out of the academy. Their trainers, Bric, El-Les, and Jedi Master Shaak Ti control their fate.
Fighting a war tests a soldier's skills, defending his home tests a soldier's heart. After receiving important insider intelligence data warning of a Separatist attack on Kamino, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker arrive to save this important stronghold of the Old Republic. With a startling surprise, the ingenious General Grievous, exotic Asajj Ventress and the dreaded droid machine military attack Kamino with the goal to end Kamino's ability to create new clone troops.
Where there's a will, there's a way. Ryloth is under siege. Trapped on the surface, Jedi Master Di rallies the local forces with the help of Cham Syndulla. Desperate to save them, Senator Bail Organa and Representative Jar Jar Binks are dispatched to the planet of Toydaria, where they must convince the King Katuunko to send aid.
The swiftest path to destruction is through vengeance. Darth Sidious orders Count Dooku to eliminate his apprentice, Asajj Ventress. Ventress survives Dooku's assassination attempt, and flees to the planet of Dathomir to enlist her kinswomen - the mystical Nightsisters - to assist her in a campaign of vengeance against her former master.
Evil is not born, it is taught. When Count Dooku calls upon the Nightsisters seeking a replacement for Ventress, she and her kin seize the opportunity to exact revenge. Ventress visits the far side of Dathomir and the males of the planet seeking the most brutal and powerful warrior among them. Through their witchcraft, the Nightsisters transform Savage Opress into a monstrous killer designed to turn on his new master.
The path to evil may bring great power, but not loyalty. Anakin and Obi-Wan, sent to track down the mysterious figure behind the deaths of several Jedi, soon find themselves on the trail of the monstrous apprentice that Ventress has created: Savage Opress. However, Dooku and Ventress also discover that this new apprentice has a will of his own...
Anything that can go wrong will. With freed prisoners in their possession and the brutal warden attempting desperately to thwart them, Obi-Wan and Anakin search for a way out of the Citadel and back to Coruscant. The prison, however, has more traps, perils and pitfalls in store for them than they had imagined and they must work past their differences if they are to escape. Their bid to board their shuttle fails when heavy weapons fire destroys the escape craft. Trooper Echo dies in the blast. The escapees then flee to the caves and call for rescue from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.
Without honour, victory is hollow. After their ship and only way off the planet is destroyed, Anakin and Obi-Wan must lead the escaped prisoners across Lola Sayu's perilous landscape as Plo Koon commands a task force of four cruisers and their fighters through the Separatist defenses in a daring rescue. Even Piell is ravaged by anooba tracking beasts, but before he dies, he passes on his Nexus Routes coordinates to Ahsoka. When the survivors return to Coruscant, Ahsoka knows half the intel, and refuses to disclose it to anyone but the Jedi Council, while Tarkin refuses to hand over his half to anyone other than the Chancellor.
When destiny calls, the chosen have no choice. When the king of Mon Cala is assassinated, talks break down between the Mon Calamari people and the Quarren, co-inhabitants of the aquatic world. To stop a civil war, the Republic sends Padmé Amidala and Anakin Skywalker, but unbeknownst to them, the Quarren are already being backed by the Separatists. Now the Jedi must protect Mon Cala's new leader, the young Prince Lee-Char, from the attack.
Only through fire is a strong sword forged. Anakin Skywalker and the rest of his Jedi team have been overrun by the Separatist surprise attacks led by Riff Tamson while Prince Lee-Char and Ahsoka must evade capture on their own. Unable to summon more Republic aid, Yoda calls upon the help of the powerful and amphibious Gungan Grand Army, but whether they will be enough to stop the Separatist siege is uncertain. An incensed Tamson doubles his efforts in tracking down Prince Lee-Char, unleashing the reinforcements given to him by Count Dooku in an assault that churns the oceans.
Our actions define our legacy. With two of his men facing execution for disobeying orders, Captain Rex is forced to confront his overly aggressive commander, General Krell, in the conclusion to the action-packed battle for Umbara. Risking charges of mutiny, Rex must make a dark choice as the true face of the enemy emerges.
Those who enslave others, inevitably become slaves themselves. To locate the missing colonists, Anakin, Obi-Wan and Ahsoka go undercover to infiltrate the slavers on Zygerria. Anakin struggles with his emotions as a wily Zygerrian queen forces him to take questionable actions in order to carry out his mission.
Friendship shows us who we really are. Peace talks between the Republic and the Separatists are interrupted by Lux Bonteri, who accuses Count Dooku of murdering his mother. Rescued by Ahsoka from Separatist custody, Bonteri involves her in his risky plan to avenge his mother's death - by revealing Dooku's location to the Mandalorian splinter group Death Watch.
All warfare is based on deception. Obi-Wan fakes his own death and goes undercover in a Republic prison, in order to gather information on a plot to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine from a convict named Moralo Eval. While there, he learns that another prisoner, notorious bounty hunter Cad Bane, is also involved. Anakin seeks vengance over the death of his former master.
The strong survive, the noble overcome. Moralo Eval brings Cad Bane and Obi-Wan Kenobi (disguised as Rako Hardeen) to Count Dooku's palace on Serenno. Along with ten other bounty hunters, Kenobi and Bane are placed in The Box, a massive cube filled with deadly challenges, designed by Eval himself to whittle down the galaxy's twelve greatest bounty hunters to an elite team of five to carry out the plan to kidnap Palpatine.
One must let go of the past to hold on to the future. Count Dooku is determined to have revenge against the Nightsisters of Dathomir after their betrayal with Savage Opress. General Grievous launches an all-out droid attack against the magic-wielding witches, and Mother Talzin trys to convince Asajj Ventress to rejoin the Nightsisters after she left years ago. Ventress and Mother Talzin lead the defense with all the dark powers at their command.
Humility is the only defense against humiliation. R2-D2 is part of a team of Republic droids chosen for an important mission led by the diminutive Colonel Gascon to obtain an encryption module from a Separatist dreadnought. The droids must overcome numerous challenging obstacles to succeed in this crucial assignment.
A soldier's most powerful weapon is courage. In a nearly vacant town on a strange planet, the intrepid members of D-Squad discover Gregor, a clone commando who has lost his memory, and is toiling away as a dishwasher. The all-droid squad and their gruff leader must help Gregor regain his memory so they can steal a heavily guarded shuttle and return to the Republic.
The truth about yourself is the hardest to accept. Clone trooper Tup is suffering from a severe neurological disorder that causes the death of a Jedi master. Trying to find the motives for the assassination, Anakin escorts Tup back to Kamino for examination, but then they are attacked by the Separatists…
The wise benefit from a second opinion. Clone trooper Tup is undergoing a medical examination in the sterile laboratories of Kamino to find the motives for his shocking attack on the Jedi master. For the examination to succeed, Arc Trooper Fives must enter the depth of Tup’s mind, where he finds a secret code manipulation in the cloning program of the Republic.
To love is to trust. To trust is to believe. While on a mercy mission to the planet Scipio, Padmé Amidala's' old flame, Rush Clovis, gets in touch with her asking for help. Having made a stand against the corruption on his planet, Clovis has now become the target of the bounty hunter Embo. Together with Padmé, he is now trying to leave his planet and get help...
Without darkness there cannot be light. The peaceful world of Bardotta finds itself threatened by an ancient prophecy. Since now of all times its spiritual leaders have vanished, Bardotta's people ask their representative in the senate for help. And Jar Jar Binks indeed manages to convince Jedi master Mace Windu that this matter is of grave importance...
Wisdom is born in fools as well as wise men. Jar Jar Binks' beloved Queen Julia of the planet Bardotta has been abducted by the bloodthirsty Frangawl Cult to fulfill a dark and ancient prophecy. Representative Binks and Jedi Master Windu must find the missing Queen before the cult can rise in power.
What is lost is often found. A Jedi mission finds a lightsaber belonging to the long-dead Master Sifo-Dyas, prompting Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker to begin an investigation into his decade-old disappearance. This sparks Darth Sidious to order Darth Tyranus to clean up any loose ends that may lead the Jedi to discover the truth of the Sith conspiracy.
Madness can sometimes be the path to truth. Yoda is deeply unsettled when he hears a voice from beyond the grave: the voice of Qui-Gon Jinn. Knowing that it is impossible for a Jedi to retain his identity after death, the Jedi Council begins to worry that Yoda may be corrupted by the influence of the dark side. Determined to find answers, Yoda escapes the Jedi Temple to follow the disembodied voice.
Embrace others for their differences, for that makes you whole. Captain Rex and the Bad Batch must infiltrate an enemy base on Anaxes. It’s the end of the historic Clone Wars, as the forces of darkness have amassed great power in their bid to transform the Republic into the Galactic Empire. With the Republic on a losing streak, Captain Rex fears the Separatists are using stolen data to help predict the Grand Army’s every move. As the threat of defeat looms, Rex teams up with experimental Clone Force 99, also known as the Bad Batch. Together, they embark on a high-risk mission behind enemy lines to uncover the truth behind the Separatist victories in ˝The Bad Batch˝.
