A Note About Aspect Ratios
These sets are the only place to see The Clone Wars in the full widescreen aspect ratio the television show is produced in. While the network broadcasts are presented in widescreen rectangular format, these versions are even wider, like the Star Wars movies, with more imagery stretching beyond the edges of the frame. See the comparison below.
Now, let's begin the episodic tour.
