The series originated from Lucas's desire to explore the untold stories of the Clone Wars era including characters and planets briefly mentioned in the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

There is some really great content here. Sure, it seems to be aimed at 12 year old boys, but they arn't afraid to touch on difficult subjects. It's more hit then miss. After the first half of season 1, they really find their footing and get into meaty stories.

If you are a fan of Pre-Disney starwars, I can't recommend the clone wars enough. I'm enjoying it (up to season 4 now)
