Star Wars: The Clone Wars (film)

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a 2008 CGI film that takes place within the Star Wars saga, leading into the TV series of the same name. The film is set during the three-year time period between the films Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith (the same time period as the 2003 Clone Wars television series). Distributed by Warner Bros., which also holds the home media distribution rights to both this film and the TV series, the film premiered on August 10, 2008 at the Grauman's Egyptian Theatre, while screening in wide-release on August 14, 2008 across Australia, and August 15 in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The Clone Wars was an introduction to the television series of the same name, which debuted on October 3, 2008.

This Star Wars spin-off is notable for being the first animated theatrical film for the franchise. The film is also the only film to be distributed by Warner Bros. instead of 20th Century Fox, while also being the first theatrical Star Wars film to be directed by someone other than George Lucas since Return of the Jedi's Richard Marquand. It is also the only theatrical Star Wars film to date not scored by John Williams—Kevin Kiner was hired to compose original music, which was combined with selected John Williams themes from previous Star Wars films.

Famous quotes containing the words star, clone and/or wars:

    A rocket is an experiment; a star is an observation.
    José Bergamín (1895–1983)

    Women of my age in America are at the mercy of two powerful and antagonistic traditions. The first is the ultradomestic fifties with its powerful cult of motherhood; the other is the strident feminism of the seventies with its attempt to clone the male competitive model.... Only in America are these ideologies pushed to extremes.
    Sylvia Ann Hewitt (20th century)

    Nations like the Cuban and the Swiss
    Can never hope to wage a Global Mission.
    No Holy Wars for them. The most the small
    Can ever give us is a nuisance brawl.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
