Force Material Episode LXXX: The Clone Wars Before The Clone Wars
Journey back with us to a time before 2002, as we explore everything we thought we knew about the Clone Wars before Attack of the Clones!
It may be hard to believe now, when we’ve had 7+ years worth of animated content and ancillary material covering a three-year-long war, but for a long time, the Clone Wars were a mystery.
We know now that they were a conflict staged by Chancellor Palpatine for his gain, with the Separatists and their droid army on one side and the Republic, the Jedi Order and an army of clone troopers on the other side.
But was that the plan when the Clone Wars were first mentioned on screen in 1977? What did people think the Clone Wars were before the truth was revealed in Episode II? This week, we’re exploring the history of the Clone Wars… before The Clone Wars.
