STAR WARS THE CLONE WARS RETURNS!
At San Diego Comic-Con, major news was announced by Star Wars that they are bringing back the Clone Wars series for a seventh season, and there is some insane news to go along with it. I will discuss what we might see from the show, the other series', and where and when this could be coming out.
The Star Wars the Clone Wars aired ten years ago, back in 2008, being the first animated Star Wars series which fitted into the canon of the films. Back in a time where there were no plans for any Star Wars film, the Clone Wars gave us a series which dove into the events between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, brightening up the prequel era in the Star Wars universe. When Disney bought Star Wars in 2012, the Clone Wars ended its six-season run the year after. Until now.
Star Wars Rebels was Disney's stand-in for an animated series, and it bought back a tone of Clone Wars characters, wrapping up their story arcs in the universe. When Rebels ended it was revealed that a new Star Wars animated series was going to release, called "Star Wars Resistance" and it would take place in the time of the sequel trilogy. I, like many others, was expecting that to be shown off instead, however, this is much more exciting.
The seventh season will continue straight from the sixth season back in 2013 I assume, with little time passing. In the series, we will be seeing the development of the Empire, like we see in the trailer with all the Star Destroyers above Mandalore. One of the most exciting parts of the trailer was Anakin seeing the hologram of Asokha. If you don't remember, in the Clone Wars, Asokha left the Jedi academy. In Rebels, the two do have an awesome reunition, but it is still awesome to see how the two do finally part ways in a satisfying conclusion.
The season will be closer to Revenge of the Sith so it will be awesome seeing the character development from this season to the final chapter in the prequels. The costumes in the season would also most likely be close to what the characters wear in Episode three.
I will definitely be reviewing the twelve episode season when it comes out like I did with Star Wars Rebels. However, the series is airing in a different place. It's not as simple as from going from Cartoon Network to Disney XD, the series is going to be on the Disney streaming service. The service does not have a release date out for it, but this is almost like the first piece of new content for the platform with a trailer. The service will most likely come out either very late this year or sometime in 2019. So hopefully, by this time next year, we will have new Clone Wars episodes.
Anyway, in conclusion, I am excited that the Clone Wars is back for a seventh season after five years. I am curious to see where the season will take the series, and the awesome adventures we can see Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Asokha go on in this mysterious time period. I would like to know your thoughts on the series' revival down in the comments below.
