Today marks the tenth anniversary of the premiere of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The film was the first, and currently only, animated feature film in the Star Wars series. Set between the second and third entries in the prequel trilogy, the film follows Jedis Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano as they fight the Clone Wars while uncovering a conspiracy to turn the Hutt clan against the Republic. It was the first Star Wars to be negatively received by critics, the first to be a box office bomb, and was nominated for the Razzie Award for Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel. The film was the pilot for the subsequent highly acclaimed animated series, a fact most critics and fans held against the theatrically released film.

The film was based on characters created by George Lucas who served as executive producer. It features the talents of Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker, James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Dee Bradley Baker as the Clone Troopers, Tom Kane as Yoda, Nika Futterman as Asajj Ventress, Corey Burton as Ziro the Hutt, and Kevin Michael Richardson as Jabba the Hutt.
