Disney+ announces premiere date for
Star Wars: The Clone Wars final season
--------------------------------------
Fans of the acclaimed animated extension of the long-running
franchise,Star Wars: The Clone Wars, have been waiting on
the edge of their seat for its return after Dave Filoni
announced at 2018 Comic-Con it was coming back for a seventh
and final season and now Disney+ has revealed it will
premiere on February 17! (via Star Wars News Net)
Created by George Lucas, the show first aired in 2008 and
became an entry point into Star Wars for an entire generation,
following fan-favorites like Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi,
and Padme Amidala, while introducing major new characters like
Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex. It became a
multi-Emmy winner and is now regarded as essential Star Wars.
But it was never finished. The Clone Wars ended after five
broadcast seasons - just as Ahsoka left the Jedi Order. A few
post-Season Five episodes were later released as "The Lost
Missions," but the story wasn't over.
"Any opportunity to put the final pieces of the story in place
is meaningful as a storyteller,"Filoni said at SDCC. "I'm
happy for the opportunity to define these things and the end of
this part of the Clone War. It also makes me reflect on all the
people that I got to work with over the years. It reinforces
the things I learned from George. It reminds me of the important
elements that go into making Star Wars. So, it's nice on several
levels, and I think for the crew that's still here that worked
on Clone Wars, they feel that, as well."
While its currently unclear if the final season will debut at
once or be released in a weekly format, it appears it won't be
the end for the animatedStar Warsuniverse asSWNNhas also
revealed that a sequel series toRebelsis currently in
development to pick up the story of Ahsoka from the series
finale and could premiere as early as this year.
