The Clone Wars: Prelude is a seven-page webcomic and the first installment in The Clone Wars webcomic series, posted on StarWars.com on October 2, 2008. "Prelude" leads directly into "Ambush," the premiere episode in The Clone Wars television series. The webcomic was written by Pablo Hidalgo, illustrated and colored by Thomas Hodges, and lettered by Grant Gould. "Prelude" follows a pair of clone shock troopers nicknamed Rys and Jek getting ready for their next mission: escorting Jedi Master Yoda to a diplomatic meeting with King Katuunko of Toydaria. The comic also shows a discussion between Republic Supreme Chancellor Palpatine and Katuunko via hologram, which sets up the meeting between Yoda and Katuunko, as well as Count Dooku touring the Confederacy's new listening post, Skytop Station.
