-----------------------------------------------------
Continue, The Clone Wars will.

Some extremely exciting news landed at The Clone Wars
anniversary panel at San Diego Comic-Con International
today where fans were the first to learn that the
beloved Clone Wars animated series, which ran for six
seasons between 2008 and 2013, will be returning with
twelve all-new episodes on Disney's direct-to-consumer
streaming service.

The news was met by ecstatic cheers and raised
lightsabers that reverberated throughout the entire
pop culture event.

Since its debut, The Clone Wars has become one of the
most critically-acclaimed entries in the Star Wars saga,
earning multiple Emmy awards and praise from fans of all
ages around the globe. Since 2013, an effort to
resurrect the series (#SaveTheCloneWars) was launched by
fans, resulting in tens of thousands of emails/letters
sent to Disney and Lucasfilm.

Dave Filoni, who helmed the show as Supervising Director
during its original run, resumes his role on The Clone
Wars continuation, which he can't wait to share with
fans. "I honestly didn't think we would ever have the
opportunity to return to The Clone Wars," says Filoni.
"Thanks to the relentless fan support and the team behind
Disney's direct-to-consumer streaming service, we will
now get to tell more of those stories. We feel a
tremendous responsibility to make something that lives up
to the legacy that George Lucas created with the original
series and I think our team, many of whom worked on the
show from the beginning, has risen to the challenge."

The new Clone Wars episodes will continue the storylines
introduced in the original series, which explored the
events leading up to Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. The
series will see the return of classic characters Anakin
Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi as well as fan-favorites
Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex. The new episodes will debut
on Disney's direct-to-consumer streaming service.
