Hasbro made the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated-series action figures released in 2008.
The figures supported the animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars and the television series that followed it. Hasbro adapted the show's distinctive stylized character designs into action figures, vehicles and playsets, giving the animated project a dedicated merchandise range.
The 2008 launch belongs to Hasbro's modern Star Wars period. Hasbro had held the Star Wars toy license since its acquisition of Kenner's parent company, and it continued using the established action-figure scale while introducing new packaging and designs for different Star Wars productions.
Kenner is the most common alternative answer because Kenner created the original late-1970s Star Wars toy phenomenon. However, Kenner's brand had been absorbed into Hasbro before The Clone Wars merchandise appeared. Galoob is another plausible confusion because it made Micro Machines, while Mattel produced other licensed toys but not this action-figure range.
