What's It All About? Set between Episodes II and III of the space saga, this 3-D animated series follows Ahsoka, a young Jedi learner being mentored by Anakin Skywalker during the galactic conflict that pits the Republic and the Jedi against the Separatists and the Sith. The action and design style follows the recently released Clone Wars theatrical movie, and will feature familiar characters -- including the future Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Count Dooku and Yoda. "It's like a mini-movie every week," says supervising director Dave Filoni, adding that viewers need not have a degree in " Star Wars"-ology to enjoy themselves. "This will bring and inspire a whole new generation of fans."
