Star Wars Clone Wars Comics, Toys and More

Star Wars: The Clone Wars has done the  job of keeping the Star Wars spirit alive in audiences of all ages. If you’re a fan of the franchise, here are a few goodies you might want to check out this holiday season.

After you see this week’s new episode on Cartoon Network, head over to StarWars.com on Monday for a complement online comic.  Written by Star Wars expert Pablo Hidaglo, the comics are the work of four different artists each of whom offers a unique and intriguing interpretation of the signature style of Lucasfilm Animation.
