Star Wars: The Clone
Wars ran from October 3, 2008 until its final regular broadcast episode on
March 2, 2013, following the show's cancellation at the end of its fifth
season. A half-length season was available on Netflix on March 7, 2014, and
some story arcs were released in several different mediums in the following
years. The show was succeeded by Star Wars Rebels, which continued the story of
Clone Wars era characters like Ahsoka Tano and Clone Captain Rex, but fans
continued asking for more episodes of The Clone Wars.
The seventh season
of the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series is a revival run of
twelve new episodes that will air on Disney+ beginning on February 21st 2020.
The revival was announced by the show's supervising director, Dave Filoni, on
July 19, 2018 at San Diego Comic-Con, during a panel commemorating the show's
tenth anniversary. The episodes will be a continuation of the series after it
was cancelled in 2013, and will include the Siege of Mandalore. Series stars
Matt Lanter, Ashley Eckstein, James Arnold Taylor, Dee Bradley Baker, Tom Kane,
Sam Witwer, and more have all returned to lend their voices to the series.
