Ģ0th Century Fox released the series on home video in two phases in 2005 The first DVD was released on Ma(one day after the third and final season began airing) and contained Chapters 1 through 20.

In an act of cross-promotion, Cartoon Network ran a Star Wars contest involving the 2004 DVD release of the original trilogy. They were available the next day on and on for non-Hyperspace members. The episodes were released simultaneously on television and online for members of the Hyperspace fan club. Star Wars: Clone Wars ran on Cartoon Network from Novemto March 25, 2005. Voolvif Monn won the vote and was introduced in ' Chapter 20.' The other two Jedi were later introduced anyway, both of whom played parts larger than Monn's. The three choices were Roron Corobb, Voolvif Monn, and Foul Moudama. Cartoon Network held a poll to determine which of three new Jedi should be introduced in the series. The series's success led to the greenlight of a third season consisting of five 12- to 15-minute episodes. For example, Tartakovsky animated C-3PO's eyes in a way that pays homage to the animation style of Nelvana, who produced the Droids and Ewoks series and The Star Wars Holiday Special 's animated segment-all of which he had grown up with. The series was produced using mostly traditional animation techniques. Tartakovsky pitched the show as having 'a Band of Brothers-feel to it-where it's episodes of different battles and strategies during the Clone Wars.' After Lucasfilm and Cartoon Network approved the idea, Tartakovsky produced twenty 3-minute episodes. Lucasfilm met with Tartakovsky, who agreed to the project if the shorts could be extended from the original proposed 1-minute runtime up to 3-to-5 minutes.

Cartoon Network-who had previously worked with Hasbro on their Transformers series-suggested Genndy Tartakovsky, who was finishing work on the animated series Samurai Jack. In the early 2000s, Hasbro asked Lucasfilm to develop something between prequel films, which they hoped would boost action figure sales and help promote the upcoming Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith.
