Star Wars: Every Movie & TV Show Ranked Worst To Best

This intriguing animated movie was released in 2008 as the feature-length pilot to the upcoming Clone Wars TV show, and despite some inescapable flaws remains a landmark instalment for the franchise's most recent era.

Introducing fan favourite Ahsoka Tano to the saga as the padawan learner of Anakin, the movie follows the pair as they engage in the early stages of the eponymous war, and are eventually called in to help Jabba the Hutt find his missing son.

Split into shifting segments, The Clone Wars is choppy and seemingly unfinished, watching like three different episodes spliced together, but it does well to set the table for things to come, especially where the war and characters are concerned.

From this point on, things would never be the same again, and Star Wars fans are still reaping the benefits of the stage it set.
