The Dark Side of War Hidden in Children's Fairy Tales: The Clone Wars

Star Wars is one of the biggest franchises in modern times.


The story of Luke Skywalker, a small farmer boy from Tatooine, fights against big evil in-universe. Lore, characters, symbols, tools, even clothes inspire multiple generations as long as it exists.

Cool, careless characters with leather jackets, whose model Han Solo, great evil characters who create sympathy for them regardless of lack of mercy and consciences like Darth Vader and multiple characters emerge in movies originating from this. In time, the narrative behind this influencing story started to change; the holy war between good and evil, fight between elites of both sides began to lose the attention of the audience. In this time of change, George Lucas as the father\ creator of the franchise wants to make a new series about the Star Wars Universe's untold part. The idea of Star Wars: Clone Wars emerged from this thought. Dave Filloni average assistant director under George Lucas has a chance to design a new chapter of this incredible story.


Star Wars Clone Wars define as animation series for children at the start. However, this couldn't stop loyal the audience invests most of their trust and love towards franchise based on new series. Their investment return big in the end. The series itself regardless of its connection to the Star Wars universe is a masterpiece about animation. Interestingly even though Clone Wars define as a kid's animation show but worked on topics like rules of engagement in combat, enslaved people, conscientious objection rights of the soldiers.

Clone Wars focus period between episode 2 and episode 3, covering the galactic civil war. By nature, the Star Wars universe was formed by multiple cultures. A good eye can detect similarities between real cultural entities and their movie copies. Topics they handle in every new season became grouse but they also adapt to new ways to coup up with audience reaction. In my opinion Clone Wars as a piece of art has an important role in the 2010s for three distinct reasons. First, it turns Star Wars interesting again by attracting a new audience and mobilizing old ones. By remastering certain. Second, by engaging politically, sensitive manners create political consciousness in the younger generation. Lastly, it owns unique storytelling method by showing every side storeye regardless of their position.
