Star Wars: The Clone Wars is back – bigger, bolder and better than ever! Expanding on the foundations established in the groundbreaking first season, Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Rise of the Bounty Hunters continues the classic Star Wars tradition, testing the very limits of our heroes’ noble efforts as they battle for the fate of the galaxy.

Set between Episodes II and III of the live-action saga, the battle for peace rages on – but the valiant Jedi Knights teeter upon the brink of exhaustion as they are beset by the seemingly limitless resources of their enemies. With no end in sight, the war is taking its toll.

As the war takes unexpected turns, the time is ripe for opportunists to take advantage of the galactic turmoil. Enter the galaxy’s most fearsome bounty hunters, hired by the Separatists to tip the scales of the tenuous balance of power. As ruthless as they are deadly, these lawless rogues enter the fray with one objective – to destabilize and destroy the Jedi Order.

Foremost among these new villains is Cad Bane – a heartless blaster-for-hire, mercenary and scoundrel. Like many in his particular trade, he is quintessentially cold, cruel and calculating – but even among his peers, Bane demonstrates a special aptitude for evil. When the price is right, he can’t be stopped – and he’s bringing his unique skill set and impressive arsenal to bear against the very heart of the Republic. Even faced with the power of the Jedi Order, Bane brazenly brings the fight to the heroes’ doorstep, with a formidable rogues gallery of galactic scum as his allies.

Among Bane’s motley crew of merciless mercenaries, including the bloodthirsty Bossk (first seen in The Empire Strikes Back) and sinister Aurra Sing. But that’s not all. Dangers will arise from all corners. New foes will join old enemies in a common effort to chip away at the very foundations of the Republic. And the beleaguered heroes will find that no one can be trusted.

Set against the spectacular backdrop of the Star Wars universe, The Clone Wars is back and better than ever!
