New Episodes of ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ Coming to Disney’s Streaming Service; Watch The New Trailer [Comic-Con 2018]

Here’s some breaking news from San Diego Comic-Con 2018: brand new episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars are in the works. Check out the trailer and learn more below.

At a Comic-Con panel celebrating the 10th anniversary of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, a huge announcement shocked the room: The Clone Wars is coming back for more episodes.

The Clone Wars is coming back with 12 new episodes to complete the series, which was cancelled back in 2013.

George Lucas created the CGI animated series, which took place during the three-year stretch of time between Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Familiar faces like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Padme Amidala, Yoda, and more played major roles, and while characters like Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex were introduced for the first time. The Clone Wars was also where we learned that the villainous Darth Maul, who battled Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan in live-action in Episode I: The Phantom Menace, survived the events of that epic lightsaber fight and ended up with mechanical legs. (The character would later reemerge in live-action in this year’s Solo: A Star Wars Story.)

No word yet on exactly when we’ll see these new episodes, but they’re supposed to debut on Disney’s streaming service, which is slated to premiere sometime in 2019. In addition to the live-action Star Wars content the company is planning, this would be a nice way to kick off a new streaming service.

More to come…
