The confederacy of independent systems series#

The absence of the 'seven battles on seven planets' in part led to Lucas's decision to launch the CGI-animated Clone Wars television series Lucas said the cartoon could 'do better' at depicting the conflict. Lucas then radically re-organized the plot instead of opening the film with various Clone Wars battles, Lucas decided instead to focus on Anakin Skywalker. Lucas proposed to concept artists that Revenge of the Sith would open with a montage of seven battles on seven planets. The clone forces shown at the conclusion of Attack of the Clones comprised the largest digital army created for a film at that point. How does a good person go bad, and how does a democracy become a dictatorship? What kinds of things push people and institutions in this direction? That's the issue I've been exploring: how did the Republic turn into the Empire?. Ultimately, the general population goes along with the idea. The people give their democracy to a dictator, whether it's Julius Caesar or Napoleon or Adolf Hitler. In 2002, Lucas said:ДЄll democracies turn into dictatorships-but not by coup. Lucas has also said that one of the primary influences for the political backdrop behind the Clone Wars, and all of Star Wars, was the Vietnam War and Watergate scandal era, when leaders embraced corruption for what they thought was the best course of action. Lucas has noted that Palpatine's rise to power is similar to that of Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany as Chancellor of Germany, the latter was granted ' emergency powers', as is Palpatine. Lucas was more guarded about the details of the Clone Wars than any other element of Star Wars, even making them off-limits to licensed products and books. However, these concepts were not included in the final version of the film. Boba Fett was also initially considered as being from a group of shocktroopers nearly wiped out by Jedi during the Clone Wars. Leigh Brackett's first draft of the film initially developed Lando Calrissian as a clone from a planet of clones involved in the Clone Wars mentioned in A New Hope and were nearly made extinct by the war. In drafting The Empire Strikes Back (1980), Lucas considered introducing a clone character who had been involved with the Clone Wars. The wars were mentioned twice briefly in the final version of the film, referring to Obi-Wan Kenobi as a general who served Leia Organa's (then-unnamed) father Bail Organa during the conflict. The first reference to the Clone Wars is in Star Wars creator George Lucas' third draft of the first film, which mentions the grizzled cyborg General Kenobi's 'diary of the Clone Wars'. The political and military events of the Clone Wars draw inspiration from real-world conflicts and historical events, such as transition of the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire and the First and Second World Wars. Lucas used the Clone Wars narrative to answer questions about the original trilogy, such as how the Empire originated and how Anakin Skywalker became Darth Vader. This would allow him to gain total power and ultimately convert the democratic Galactic Republic into the autocratic Galactic Empire, which was controlled through means of a militaryвЂ“industrial complex and featured in the original trilogy. Palpatine secretly seeks to wipe out all Jedi upon giving the command for Order 66 at the end of the war. The conflict was manufactured as a scheme for the Republic's Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, secretly the evil Sith Lord Darth Sidious, who was secretly manipulating the war upon the first battle of Geonosis. The Republic uses an army of clone troopers, the namesake of the conflict, led by the Jedi Order against the Separatist battle droid army. Within the Star Wars narrative, the Clone Wars involve a three-year war fought to prevent thousands of planetary systems from seceding from the Galactic Republic and forming the 'Confederacy of Independent Systems', often referred to as 'the Separatists'. They have featured in numerous Star Wars books and games. The Clone Wars are also the setting for three eponymous projects: a 2D animated series (2003вЂ“2005), a CGI film (2008), and a 3D CGI series (2008вЂ“2014, 2020). Though mentioned briefly in the first Star Wars film ( A New Hope, 1977), the war itself was not depicted until Attack of the Clones (2002) and Revenge of the Sith (2005).
