[ The Clone Wars ]
Events that occur between 22 years and 19 years before the Battle of Yavin.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is an all-new epic 3-D animated film and television series that is set between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. The first part of The Clone Wars will be shown in theatres and cinemas from August 15th 2008 and will continue on Cartoon Network later in the year.
To coincide with the release of The Clone Wars, there will be novels, comics, children's books, activity books, young reader books and visual guides. Licensed publishers include Del Rey for adult novels, Dark Horse for comcis, Penguin for children's books and Dorling Kindersley for Visual Guides.

This is Star Wars Books quick and simple guide to The Clone Wars books based on all available information. Individual book entries state whether the book is confirmed (by either the book's publisher or LucasFilm Licensing via StarWars.com) or unconfirmed (whereupon sources for speculated books are given). This means that book titles listed by sellers such as Amazon or Barnes and Noble will be unconfirmed books until the publisher lists that book title on their own website with a release date or through a press release.

Latest The Clone Wars news:
Has Amazon UK confirmed Traviss's The Clone Wars novel?:
Posted: 10th May
Amazon UK have updated their listing for Karen Traviss's previously Untitled K. Traviss novel, with the following title: SW Clone Wars. Amazon UK's listing is for the US Del Rey import. In another change to this much speculated book, Random House have also brought forward the release date from 29th July to the 26th. Certainly this date coincides with the published release dates for many of the children's The Clone Wars books.

It is "an action-packed, two-minute preview of the animated adventure" and it precedes the trailer's debuts in theaters by one day.

UPDATE: The trailer is now available for viewing at StarWars.com.

Dark Horse confirm The Clone Wars comic series':
Posted: 9th May
Dark Horse editor Randy Stradley has confirmed what he said in an interview with FanForcePortugal that there would be two comic series to tie-in with The Clone Wars. They are "a new series of quarterly, digest-sized graphic novels and a monthly comics series". The first of the quarterly series, Shipyards of Doom, has already been discovered at Amazon Canada.

First Clone Wars Quarterly graphic novel discovered:
Posted: 4th May
TheForce.net are reporting the discovery at Amazon Canada of a listing for Clone Wars: Shipyards of Doom by Dark Horse. Written by Matt and Shawn Fillbach with Henry Gilroy, this graphic novel appears to be the first of what Randy Stradley, editor at Dark Horse, said would be Clone Wars Quarterly, "the same digest-size format as Clone Wars Adventures, but will feature full-length stories rather than short stories."...full story at TheForce.net

Is The Clones Wars DVD to be released before it hits Cartoon Network?:
Posted: 1st May
According to Publishers Weekly "the U.S. movie release will be on August 15, followed by the DVD release and then a prime-time TV series on Cartoon Network and TNT in the fall." Given the usual three to four month gap between theatrical and DVD release does this mean we can expect The Clone Wars on TV in November or December? Not really since nearly every movie has a DVD release sometime after its theatrical debut. It is more likely that The Clone Wars will continue on Cartoon Network and TNT in the fall as originally planned, with the DVD of the movie being released soon after.

Five more The Clone Wars books for children in the Fall:
Posted: 1st May
According to Publishers Weekly: "Grosset & Dunlap will release an additional five titles in the fall in conjunction with the TV series launch." Also they have confirmed that in all of the children's books "the characters are the same in the movie and [TV] series" - although this would be expected for books marketed at children who wish to enjoy the movie and television series.
