SDCC: Star Wars Clone Wars Will Return For A New Season

Back For One Last Tour Of Duty

♦ We thought it was finished but apparently Star Wars Clone Wars will be back for a seventh season. Here’s a trailer for it from Star Wars themselves…

The first weekly TV series from Lucasfilm Animation chronicles the adventures of Anakin Skywalker, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi and other popular characters from the `Star Wars’ universe during the violent Clone Wars, as dwindling numbers of Jedi knights struggle to restore peace.

“Any opportunity to put the final pieces of the story in place is meaningful as a storyteller,” Filoni said in an interview for StarWars.com. He elaborated on why the show resonated with people for all these years. “I think the variety of stories was a big part of it. You also can’t underestimate how important it was that so many people grew up with the show. Clone Wars was a piece of Star Wars that older fans might have, initially, not taken seriously because it was animated, but that wasn’t a barrier for kids. They loved the clones and identified with them. Ahsoka gave kids a character that was like them — someone their age that was experiencing life’s challenges and learning along the way. Plus, having a new episode each week really allowed us to explore what was going on with the new and legacy characters in a dynamic way, including Anakin and Obi-Wan. I think the stories left an indelible impression and, of course, George knew it would. He always knew.”
