Star Wars: The Clone Wars is coming back!
Disney is bringing back its hugely popular animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars in the form of 12 new episodes on its upcoming streaming service. A new trailer for Clone Wars was showed off at SDCC 2018 and the show is expected to finish what was considered to be an abrupt ending when the series was cancelled back in 2013. 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. Fans have clamored for Disney and Lucasfilm to finish what was started ever since. And now it’s actually happening. Check out the trailer below
