A 2008 3D animated Star Wars film. It is the first fully animated film in the Star Wars franchise, taking place shortly after Attack of the Clones (2002), at the start of the titular Clone Wars.
In the film, Count Dooku and Jabba The Hutt's uncle Ziro orchestrate a plan to turn Jabba against the Galactic Republic by framing the Jedi for the kidnapping of his son, Rotta The Hutt. While Anakin Skywalker and his newly assigned apprentice Ahsoka Tano attempt to deliver the child back to his father, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padme Amidala lead separate investigations to uncover Dooku and Ziro's plot.
The film serves as a pilot episode to the television series of the same name, which premiered on Cartoon Network two months after the film's release.
Not to be confused with Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003), a 2003 2D animated TV series.
