The series utilized unused ideas from Lucas' previous Star Wars projects. Writer Henry Gilroy gained inspiration for the episode titles from the pulpy adventure sci-fi serials of the 1930s. In terms of story and cinematography, the series was directed as if it were a live-action series, and the episodes were produced in widescreen. Each episode of The Clone Wars was designed to be stand-alone, with an opening narration and moral to each story. The animation style was inspired by 1960s-era puppets-in-space serials such as Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds, as well as the character designs from the original Clone Wars series. Lucas's involvement resulted in rewrites of most of the scripts, as Lucas insisted on more character development and that the show should not be based in one location, but as many as possible so as to make the story as interesting as possible to the viewer. The final assembly of each episode was done at Skywalker Ranch. No rotoscoping was involved, however, ILM did use motion capture. Script, character design, and art direction were completed at ILM, with the animation and rendering done at Lucasfilm Animation Singapore, and also Polygon Pictures between 20. Lucas and the animation team used this to create Zviz, a system that allowed the animation team complete freedom in framing shots. The Maya 3D modeling program was used to create highly detailed worlds, characters, and creatures.

The crew used Autodesk software to animate both the film and the series. īy February 2006, Lucasfilm Animation was working on animation tests and initial scripts, with Lucas playing a large part in the entire process. However, once Lucas became involved, he decided that the show would focus on the film characters, but would also include some of Filoni's ideas, such as Ashla (whose name was ultimately changed to Ahsoka). This early concept for The Clone Wars was designed not to interfere with existing continuity, and as such would have included only occasional appearances from film characters, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. Filoni's initial idea for the series revolved around a recurring cast of characters who traveled aboard a spaceship similar to the Millennium Falcon the ship's crew would have included a smuggler, his girlfriend, a Gungan named Lunker, a Jedi padawan named Ashla, and her Jedi Master. Star Wars: The Clone Wars was then announced at April 2005's Celebration III, which Lucas referred to as "a 3-D continuation of the pilot series." Dave Filoni was hired as supervising director, and was familiar with previous Star Wars animation projects.
Star Wars: Clone Wars aired on Cartoon Network from 2003 to 2005, produced by Genndy Tartakovsky.
