As the Star Wars universe continues to expand in every direction possible, there is one medium the franchise needs to rely on now more than ever: animation. Animated series have long been a part of Star Wars, starting initially with 2D animated series in the mid-80s like Droids and Ewoks. While these series have garnered cult followings of their own, it would be decades before animation truly revolutionized the Star Wars brand. It wasn't until George Lucas reached out to a young Dave Filoni and proposed a 3D-animated series detailing the legendary Clone Wars that the saga found its footing in the medium, off the heels of Genndy Tartakovsky's 2D Clone Wars series in 2003.
