'THE CLONE WARS': DEADLIER THAN THE MALE!

Her life as a bounty hunter may have been cut off (permanently) by Lando Calrissian, doing the universe a favour in the process, but the legendary, totally deadly Aurra Sing lives on in the historical realms of drama and violence within The Clone Wars animated series.

'THE CLONE WARS': AQUA AHSOKA!

Diving into the deep depths of the Mon Calamari aquatic world, Ahsoka Tano, with support from Kit Fisto and submersed Clone Troopers, will soon bravely face off against the enemy Separatists droids in this gorgeous cover specially art commissioned for the US magazine 3D World, promoting the memorable fourth season of The Clone Wars animated series. 

'THE CLONE WARS': DAY OF THE CLONES!

The ultimate force for intergalactic conflict has been assembled on Coruscant, handily created by mystery forces years in advance of the ensuing Separatist crisis now brewing, and right under the very noses of both the Republic and the once all-knowing Jedi Knights. The Clone Wars have indeed begun...

An atmospheric and important moment from The Clone Wars animated series, so well recreated from the end of Episode II.  

COMING SOON: 'STAR WARS: MAUL - SHADOW LORD'

The Clone Wars Animated Series may be gone but its legacy lives on within numerous recent Dave Filoni overseen iterations. And now comes the eagerly anticipated Star Wars: Maul - Shadow Lord in 2026, as our favourite lethal and vindictive former Sith assassin turned ambitious crime lord, Darth Maul, finally gets his own well deserved showcase, voiced once more by Sam Witwer. The series is expected to lead-in to the history/events of Solo: A Star Wars Story and the villain's eventual demise in Rebels, as well as touching on themes created by the much-missed George Lucas for his sadly never made Episodes VII - IX, which featured the return of the Sith in a big way! 

THE CLONE WARS: A SENATOR IN DANGER!

He's been prior unhappily undercover as a Naboo pilot, but Anakin Skywalker, worried about Padme's re-involvement with old flame Rush Clovis, soon discovers his wife in trouble, poisoned during her so-called diplomatic mission. A tense finale awaits to The Clone Wars Animated Series second season episode, Senate Spy.

CELEBRATING TWENTY YEARS OF 'THE CLONE WARS' ANIMATED MICRO-SERIES!

Capturing the epic qualities of the Star Wars Prequel saga, and the two core Jedi Knights so intrinsically linked to it in Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, this great cover art by Ben Caldwell for The Clone Wars comic strip adventure compilation of 2003/2004 is a standout piece of art and perfect in celebrating the landmark Twentieth Anniversary of the terrific Genndy Tartakovsky conceived series of 2003-05.

THE CLONE WARS: POLITICAL ANIMALS!

Keeping the galaxy-shattered Clone Wars going through lies, treachery and false promises, whilst fellow corruptible Senators and the near powerless Jedi continue to be fools unaware of their murderous and power-grabbing dark side autonomy, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and his key assistant Mas Amedda enjoy the manipulation and chaos before their final plans come into effect.

Another great image from The Clone Wars animated series.

Loyal, protective and discreet in his ongoing service to the Queen of Naboo- quick to action and experienced in combat, Captain Typho is always ready for duty, as seen in this great posed publicity image for The Clone Wars animated series, whose regular trips to Naboo saw the character given much more to do than anything ever given to his live-action counterpart during the Prequel Trilogy...

THE CLONE WARS: REPUBLIC INSPECTION!

The birth of a war, and the emergence of a Clone Army in the millions luckily ready for use - a force of efficient soldiers impressively and ominously assembled for inspection and orders instruction on the core world of Coruscant by the Galactic Republic's trusted, total overseer Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, with guidance from his Jedi colleagues Mace Windu and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

 A brief and memorable visual moment from the original The Clone Wars animated movie of 2008.

THE CLONE WARS: THAT OUTLAW CAD BANE!

His fury unleashed, fully-armed Bounty Hunter Cad Bane is all-out aggressive in this terrific The Clone Wars art parody on the classic movie poster for Clint Eastwood's trailblazing seventies Western genre classic, The Outlaw Josey Wales.

Superb work from Daz Tibbles at Deviant Art.

'THE CLONE WARS' - SALUTING JAMES ARNOLD TAYLOR - 'THE OTHER' OBI-WAN KENOBI!

Obi-Wan Kenobi debuts his new look for the opening season of The Clone Wars animated series.

Seventeen years on from his last onscreen performance as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Revenge of the Sith, Ewan McGregor returns to the iconic prequel era-launched role in the eagerly awaited titular series this Friday, 27th May on Disney+. This new six-episode adventure will obviously be spectacular and ultimately have a special place in fans' hearts worldwide. But let's not forget and applaud that other actor who has splendidly played/voiced the Jedi role in the realms of numerous Star Wars animation series and media spin-offs for the creatively inspired period in between McGregor's on screen portrayals: the consistently excellent actor James Arnold Taylor, who brought further nobility, heroism, drama, humour and pathos to the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi especially during The Clone Wars animated series' acclaimed era. 

His final animated visage getting closer to the events of Revenge of the Sith.

James Arnold Taylor and his animated alter-ego.

Star Wars Aficionado salutes you, Mister Taylor! 

And long may you continue to voice/play in the George Lucas universe-created sandbox...

THE CLONE WARS: LIVING THE DREAM!

Within his pirate base on Florrum, that Weequay scoundrel Hondo Ohnaka is enjoying the fruits of being a pirate leader, before Ahsoka and her young Jedi padawans come along to cause chaos, in The Clone Wars Season Five love-it-or-hate-it episode, Bound for Rescue.

With the recent acclaimed live-action debuts of the Inquisitors and Cad Bane, let's hope its not too long before the lovable rogue is active anew somewhere in the Disney+ series pipeline.

THE CLONE WARS: STRENGTH IN NUMBERS...

THE CLONE WARS: MASTER OF MALEVOLENCE!

The venomous red lightsaber-wielding former Sith Lord, Darth Maul, seems to have the luck of the Devil. Even being cut in half and sent down a seemingly bottomless pit by venerable young Obi-Wan Kenobi in the early stages of his assassin's career has failed to stop his bloodlust and need for revenge against the Jedi, his former master, and the galaxy itself.

Whether you were a fan of Maul's resurrection in The Clone Wars animated series or not, he's here to stay for the foreseeable future in the Star Wars universe, both onscreen (a reappearance in one of the many upcoming live-action Disney mini-series is most likely) and in the authorised Expanded Universe...

MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH 'THE BAD BATCH'!

The perfect gift for the now regular May the Fourth Anniversary celebratory event - a new Star Wars animated adventure successor to The Clone Wars, The Bad Batch, whose first season comprising sixteen episodes with a 70-minute launcher, is now streaming exclusively on Disney+...

COMING 2021: 'STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH'!

The diverse Clone Trooper legions fighting across the galaxy are highly skilled in warfare, genetically engineered from one of the best Bounty Hunters in the universe. But when our Republic heroes need their troopers to think 'out of the box' and 'get creative' battling the many elusive and dangerous Separatist forces hatching their plans, then The Bad Batch are definitely the guys you're after, as the next story evolutionary spin-off step in The Clone Wars animated series, set around the consequences of Order 66, was recently unveiled, coming exclusively to Disney XD during 2021. Veteran series star Dee Bradley Baker's Clone Trooper voicing schedule must be pretty busy these days!
