Although the final original episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars<\/em> have aired for the remainder of 2008, there\u2019s no dearth of Clone Wars<\/em> fun available at StarWars.com to keep fans busy until Jan. 2, including the first-ever online \u201cmarathon,\u201d which begins on Monday.<\/p>\n

Starting Dec. 22, all 10 episodes of the hit Cartoon Network series that have aired to date will be available online at the official Star Wars<\/em> website and at CartoonNetwork.com<\/a>. What\u2019s more, each episode features a video commentary by supervising director Dave Filoni; a web comic; and a detailed episode guide containing concept art and additional insights into Star Wars: The Clone Wars<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Star<\/p>\n

The online marathon ends on Monday, Jan. 5.<\/p>\n

And on Friday, Jan. 2, the first new Clone Wars<\/em> episode of 2009, \u201cDooku Captured,\u201d debuts at 9 p.m. on Cartoon Network.<\/p>\n

Just in case that\u2019s not enough for Star Wars<\/em> fans, StarWars.com offers three exclusive online games that provide unique, challenging experiences. There\u2019s no hardware required beyond a basic home computer, and the games are accessible via the homepage at starwars.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In \u201cSharpshooter,\u201d players can partake in some clone training, as they try to hit targets that range from holograms of battle droids to rolling destroyer droids. As the levels get progressively harder, \u201cSharpshooter\u201d throws in some tricks, ranging from blast shields that make it difficult to hit your target to decoys that players need to avoid. It\u2019s classic arcade-style action whose increasingly difficult levels will pose a challenge to gamers of any age.<\/p>\n

\"Star<\/p>\n

\u201cLive Fire\u201d is a keyboard-based game in which players take on the role of a clone trooper — and can even customize his gear. By finding and collecting datapacks, while avoiding a phalanx of Separatist droids, players can unlock exclusive Clone Wars<\/em> content, including images, videos and sounds. But beware, because the Separatist droids encountered on these missions to Christophsis and Teth are bent on success.<\/p>\n

\u201cClones vs. Droids\u201d offers the option of playing live against another player — or practicing solo. Squads of droids and clone troopers are pitted against each other, and it\u2019s up to players to strategically prepare for both attack and defense during the game\u2019s 10 rounds.<\/p>\n

\"Star<\/p>\n

The Clone Wars<\/em> experience isn\u2019t just online, of course. In fact, during the holidays Cartoon Network will offer encore showings of Star Wars: The Clone Wars<\/em> with more opportunities than ever to enjoy the intergalactic adventure.<\/p>\n
