Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2002)
Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a 2002 shooter video game made by Pandemic Studios and LucasArts.
Boots on the ground, not wings in the sky. This Clone Wars sends you across sixteen missions of the Old Republic conflict, mostly at ground level: speeder bikes, Republic gunships, and fighter tanks, plus a lightsaber for close work. You take the field as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Mace Windu and others, holding the line against the Confederacy. Where the Rogue Squadron games kept you airborne, this one wants dust, armor, and the crunch of a front line. It is a vehicle-and-combat shooter aimed squarely at the era's big set-piece battles.

A few thoughts on Star Wars: The Clone Wars
The animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars series covers the same war with far more room for its characters, a natural next stop. For ground-war shooting with a heavier story, Half-Life 2 shows how far the genre moved past pure set pieces.
The Clone Wars on screen
This game drops you into the middle of the war between the prequels; the shows and films made that conflict their whole canvas. Start with the movies that bookend it, then follow the animated series that turned the Clone Wars into some of Star Wars' richest storytelling.
The Clone Wars in print
The era spilled across dozens of novels, from Jedi on the front lines to bounty hunters working the margins. If you want more of that galaxy-at-war fiction beyond the game, these books dig into the campaigns, the healers, and the young hunters caught up in it all.
Lead the charge with a blade
You fight as Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Mace Windu here, heroes swinging blades at the head of an army. That fantasy of the powerful warrior cutting through a battlefield runs through these action games, each one about a single fighter turning the tide through sheer skill.
Big ground-level action campaigns
Where the Rogue Squadron games kept you airborne, this one wanted dust, armor, and a front line. These large-scale action campaigns share that ground-level intensity, stringing together set pieces and pitched battles into a single long push from first mission to last.
