What is the name of the animated series created by George Lucas that premiered in 2008?

The animated series created by George Lucas that premiered in 2008 was Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The computer-animated show expanded the story between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, depicting the wider conflict between the Galactic Republic and the Separatist Alliance.

Lucas served as the show’s creator and executive producer, while Dave Filoni guided its day-to-day creative development as supervising director. The series followed familiar characters such as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Padmé Amidala, and Captain Rex, while introducing important new figures including Ahsoka Tano.

The title is sometimes confused with the 2003 animated micro-series Star Wars: Clone Wars, created by Genndy Tartakovsky. That earlier series is distinct from the 2008 production, which began with a theatrical animated film before its television run.

The 2008 series initially aired on Cartoon Network and ultimately became a major part of Star Wars storytelling, earning an Emmy and building a large audience across multiple generations.
