A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one
Dave Filoni’s animated series will finally get the ending that its fans wanted. In a surprise announcement at San Diego Comic-Con, Filoni revealed thatStar Wars: The Clone Warswill return for a 12-episode season. The catch, though? It will be exclusive toDisney’s upcoming streaming service.
While Filoni’s subsequent seriesStar Wars Rebelspicked up on some loose threads fromThe Clone Wars, including the whereabouts of Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex, the series was abruptly canceled somewhere in the midst of Disney’s acquisition of LucasFilm—the show got an awkward, abbreviated “final season” on Netflix, with some unused scripts for the show turning into novels.The Clone Warswill join aJon Favreau live-action show, and possibly theObi-Wan standalone filmon the streaming platform.
Personally, I’m still holding my breath for a revival of Genndy Tartakovsky’sClone Warsanimated series. Remember that one timeMace Windu singlehandedly took down an entire fucking army? That’s the good stuff right there.
