}}'''Star Wars: The Clone Wars''' is a [[LEGO]] subtheme of [[Star Wars]]. Star Wars: The Clone Wars was a theme released as part of the [[Star Wars]] theme in [[2008]] to coincide with the release of ''Star Wars: The Clone Wars'' film and TV series. The subtheme recreates the vehicles, characters, and locations from the Television Series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. In the Star Wars canon, the Clone Wars was a conflict fought between the Separatist Confederate of Independent Systems and the galaxy governing Galactic Republic for the control of the galaxy. Many of the vehicles and characters who fought in the war were recreated into LEGO sets. Many sets have been released in the subtheme. The subtheme started in 2008 and still continues presently.

== Release history ==
[[File:7669-alt_box.jpg|thumb|The first ''LEGO Star Wars: The Clone Wars'' set released under the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Expanded Universe]] line at first.]]The first sets released were [[7669 Anakin's Jedi Starfighter]] and [[7670 Hailfire Droid and Spider Droid]]. It was first released as an Expanded Universe set with a logo of the Clone Wars appearing at the bottom. 

Before the release of the first wave, the [[Comic-Con Exclusive Clone Wars Set]] was released at the San Diego Comic-con to promote the new ''LEGO Star Wars: The Clone Wars'' sets.

[[File:8015_box_-_3.jpg|thumb|The new packaging.]]Soon after the release of Anakin's Jedi Starfighter and Hailfire Droid and Spider Droid, the first official wave ''Clone Wars'' sets were released in [[July]] [[2008]]. This wave had an entirely new packaging from the other ''Star Wars'' sets. A long white area was above the picture on the set. On the left of it were the words "LEGO Star Wars", "Star Wars" being printed in blue and in the usual format it is written in. On the far right of the white area was a picture of a Clone. 7669 Anakin's Jedi Starfighter and Hailfire Droid and Spider Droid were released again with the new packaging. [[7673 MagnaGuard Starfighter]], [[7674 V-19 Torrent]], [[7675 AT-TE Walker]], [[7676 Republic Attack Gunship]], [[7678 Droid Gunship]], [[7679 Republic Fighter Tank]], [[7680 The Twilight]], [[7681 Separatist Spider Droid]] were all released as part of the first official wave.

The next wave of ''Clone Wars'' sets were released in [[December]] 2008 in the United States of America and [[January]] [[2009]] in all other countries that LEGO sells to. This wave included the sets [[8014 Clone Walker Battle Pack]], [[8015 Assassin Droids Battle Pack]], [[8016 Hyena Droid Bomber]], [[8019 Republic Attack Shuttle]], and [[8018 Armored Assault Tank (AAT)]]

In [[February]] 2009, two sets, [[7751 Ahsoka's Starfighter and Vulture Droid]] and [[7752 Count Dooku's Solar Sailer]] were released.

In [[March]] 2009, the first Clone Wars [[Ultimate Collector's Series]] set was released. This set being [[10195 Republic Dropship with AT-OT Walker]].

[[File:7753-1.jpg|thumb|The new Clone Wars logo appears above the set.]]In [[July]] 2009, Anakin's Y-Wing Starfighter was released. The box of this set had a new design, featuring a white area above the set, with the words "Star Wars" in red on the far left and a picture of several Clones from the television series on the far right. 

In [[August]] 2009, the second large wave of Clone Wars sets were released, this wave being composed of [[7748 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid]], [[8039 Venator-class Republic Attack Cruiser]], [[8036 Separatist Shuttle]], and [[7753 Pirate Tank]]

In [[September]] 2009, the game [[The Quest for R2-D2]] was officially released on the official LEGO Star Wars page. 

During the release of several sets during the course of year, [[Online Clone Wars Comics|many webcomics]] have been posted on the LEGO Star Wars website and many small Clone Wars comics have appeared in the LEGO Magazine. Promotional sets, keychains, and magnets have been released during the courses of the years 2008 and 2009, and more will presumably be released in 2010.

Two ''LEGO Star Wars: The Clone Wars'' sets have been released for the first wave of [[2010]]. These sets are [[8085 Freeco Speeder]] and the [[8086 Droid Tri-Fighter]]. The sets to be released in 2010's second wave are the [[8098 Clone Turbo Tank]], [[8093 Plo Koon's Starfighter]], [[8095 General Grievous' Starfighter]] and [[8128 Cad Bane's Speeder]]. This wave will have another redesign of its packaging, with a cloudy dark blue background, and [[Captain Rex]] looking upwards on the top right corner.

== Minifigures ==
{| align="right" 

No minifigures from the other Star Wars lines have been brought over to the Clone Wars line, meaning that all the minifigures are brand new and exclusive to this subtheme, besides the [[Anakin Skywalker]] minifigure who was released in an [[Star Wars Expanded Universe|Expanded Universe]] set and the [[Battle Droids]] who share most of the pieces from the original Battle Droids.

The minifigures now have more of a resemblance to the animated characters in the new television series than to the live actors in the movies. Since the characters in the show have bigger eyes and sharper angles, the same has been done to the minifigures. All characters that have flesh colored skin in the animated series carry on the flesh colored skin on the minifigures. 

Since the Clones could be considered more or less the most important characters in the Clone Wars, they have been given more accurate designs. They now have more accurate armor, helmets, and faces compared to their [[Clone Trooper|2002 and 2005 counterparts]].
