===Televisione===
Following the completion of the first twenty-two episodes, Lucas shopped the series to various networks. However, he had difficulty securing a network due to the fact that it has a unique tone from most animated series.[47] Fox Broadcasting passed on it, and Cartoon Network was initially unsure.[22] Several networks eventually got into a bidding war over the show.[13] Cartoon Network and TNT eventually won the broadcast rights, with Warner Brothers distributing the feature film debut. Warner had tracked the series' development, and decided on a theatrical launch after viewing some footage.[48] Stuart Snyder, who oversees Cartoon Network and other Turner Broadcasting System cable networks, said he became interested in the new Clone Wars series immediately upon starting the job in May 2007. Snyder flew out to San Francisco, California to screen several episodes, and told George Lucas the only place he wanted to see the show was on Cartoon Network.[49] It was announced on February 12, 2008 that the feature film was to be released in theaters on August 15, 2008, with the TV debut in the fall.[4] This announcement was accompanied by an update of the Hyperspace online fan club kit,[50] and an offering of Captain Rex and Ahsoka Tano T-shirts to Hyperspace members.[51][52] Cartoon Network airs episodes on Friday nights, due to school days.[53] The Clone Wars premiered on October 3, 2008 at 9 p.m. on the Cartoon Network. Stuart Snyder also scheduled The Secret Saturdays and Ben 10: Alien Force to create an action-adventure block of shows on Friday night in an attempt to rejuvenate Cartoon Network and compete with such channels as Nickelodeon and the Disney Channel. Snyder expressed confidence that the shows would help boost ratings: “You catch me at a time where I have a smile on my face because of our internal results,” Snyder said. “I can say there’s a little bit of bragging on the third quarter for us.”[49] In Canada, episodes will air on CTV.[54] In Australia, it airs on Channel Ten.[source?] The series was first aired in the UK on Sky Movies Premiere and Premiere HD every Saturday at 5.30PM with the first episode aired on October 25, 2008. As with all programs on Sky Movies, it ran for the first 22-minutes of its 30-minute slot with advertisements shown at the end so as not to interupt the episodes.[55][56] Dopo aver completato i primi ventidue episodi, Lucas ha mostrato la serie a diversi network televisivi. Tuttavia, ebbe qualche difficoltà ad assicurarsi un'emittente dato lo stile unico della serie. La Fox rifiutò il prodotto, e Cartoon Network fu titubante all'inizio. Alla fine, la stessa Cartoon Network e TNT vinsero i diritti televisivi, e la Warner Bros quelli di distribuzione del film di debutto. La Warner tenne sott'occhio lo sviluppo dela serie e decise per un lancio cinematografico dopo aver visto qualche contributo video. Stuart Snyder, che supervisiona Cartoon Network e altri canali via cavo americani, ha affermato che iniziò ad interessarsi alla nuova serie The Clone Wars immediatamente dopo aver intrapreso il lavoro nel maggio 2007. Snyder volò quindi a San Francisco per visionare alcuni episodi, e disse a George Lucas che l'unica emittente in cui avrebbe voluto vedere la serie era Cartoon Network. Il 12 febbraio 2008 fu annunciato che il film di debutto sarebbe uscito nei cinema il 15 agosto dello stesso anno, mentre il debutto televisivo sarebbe stato per l'autunno. Questo annuncio fu accompagnato da un aggiornamento dell'Hyperspace online fan club kit, ed un offerta di magliette del Capitano Rex e di Ahsoka Tano ai membri di Hyperspace.
