The Clone Wars Episode Guides are free articles on StarWars.com that provided an in-depth look into the episodes of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series. They were first introduced on October 3, 2008 after the release of Ambush, the first episode in the series. Normally a preview of the actual guide was released before the episode airs, which contained only a link to the episode preview, short synopsis and release information. After the airing of the episode the guide was updated with most of its content and then, about a week later, it got updated one more time with the link to the actual episode streaming on StarWars.com.
