Not to be confused with the CG namesake, Genndy Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars, also made for Cartoon Network was what you’d expect from the Samurai Jack and Primal creator doing Star Wars, and it was brilliant. In another timeline that could have affected Star Wars in animation going forward as he was once offered the job Dave Filoni would later get, being in charge of Lucasfilm’s animation division. You can bet that had Tartakovsky accepted the deal we wouldn’t have finished Jack’s story or followed the caveman, and we also wouldn’t have Ashoka Tano (even when she was done well) or the individual Clone Troopers (sorry, Rex), but it would have changed the whole game.
I was sorry to read it was decanonized given that it explains Grevious’ breathing issues and let right into Revenge Of The Sith with the fake capture of Palpatine.
