The Clone Wars multimedia project was a three-year project created by Lucasfilm Ltd., in conjunction with Del Rey, Dark Horse Comics, Cartoon Network and LucasArts. Set largely between the films Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith (in terms of both in-universe and real-life chronology), the Clone Wars multimedia project attempted to tell the story of the Clone Wars in real time—through books, comics, television, and video games. This echoes the previous project Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire. It was followed, beginning in 2008, with a film and TV series titled The Clone Wars.
