How Aliens inspired an episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Back in 1986, when James Cameron’s masterpiece, Aliens, graced our screens, it left an indelible mark on the sci-fi genre. It was a sequel that breathed life into the universe of Alien, fleshing out Ripley as a lead character, delving deeper into the sinister Weyland-Yutani corporation, and, let’s face it, upping the ante on those terrifying creatures known as the Aliens. Fast forward almost 40 years, and another Alien film is about to premier this month, sending fans of this iconic franchise into a frenzy. Interestingly enough, both Alien enthusiasts and Star Wars devotees might spot some intriguing parallels between this action/horror classic and an episode from the much-loved series, The Clone Wars.
