CONFEDERATION OF INDEPENDENT SYSTEMS SERIES

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. The events causing the war and those leading to its conclusion are orchestrated by the Republic's chief executive, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine. The Clone Wars end shortly after the Great Jedi Purge, the Separatist Massacre on Mustafar, and the establishment of the Galactic Empire. War quickly spreads across the galaxy and eventually reaches the Republic's capital, Coruscant. The first battle occurs on the CIS planet Geonosis as the Republic's new clone army, led by Jedi generals, combats the Separatists' battle droids. The Clone Wars begin during the Separatist Crisis when thousands of star systems secede from the Galactic Republic to form the Confederacy of Independent Systems (CIS).

Critics and film historians debate which parallels are most prominent or consistent.

Many of the events featured have parallels in history, politics, and mythology from which Lucas and other writers drew inspiration. Additional events and stories are detailed in a multimedia campaign consisting of Star Wars literature and video games. The animated microseries Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003-2005) chronicle the major campaigns of the war. The conflict is first mentioned in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977), but not featured in Star Wars fiction until the second and third episodes of the six-part Star Wars film series: Attack of the Clones (2002) and Revenge of the Sith (2005).
