Did you ever want to watch The Clone Wars, but weren’t sure where to start? There’s a lot of lore packed into the new game, and you may not immediately catch all of the references. But others, like the villainous bounty hunter Cad Bane, you may not know. Some, like Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano, you’ll recognize.
