The film is set during the three-year time period between the films Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones (2002) and Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith (2005). In an attempt to gain Jabba's favor, Sith Lord and Separatist leader Count Dooku kidnaps Jabba's son Rotta, in hopes of framing the Republic's Jedi Order as the true captors.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is a 2008 animated feature film directed by Dave Filoni and executive produced by George Lucas as well as the first Star Wars animated film made.
