If you’re starting too feel some of that dreadedStar Warsfatigue followingThe Rise of Skywalker, then you may well need a large dose of the animated seriesStar Wars: The Clone Wars, which we can provide thanks to this newly released, and very exciting trailer. Lucasfilm has just released this footage for the series' much-anticipated seventh season, and it teases an epic clash between devil-horned villain Darth Maul and fan-favorite character Ahsoka Tano.
As well as this long-awaitied showdown, the trailer gives us a few fleeting glimpses of the goings on withAnakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda and Mace Winduas they slowly come to realise that the Jedi Order may well have been infiltrated by a powerful evil. Honestly, they have been a little bit slow on the uptake.
Disney has now confirmed that season 7 ofStar Wars: The Clone Warswill consist of 12 episodes and, much like they did withThe Mandalorian, each episode ofStar Wars: The Clone Warswill be released weekly rather than a Netflix-style full season dump. They have also confirmed thatThe Mandalorian’s Dave Filoniwill be working hard to continue the storylines and set ups laid out in the original series.
Star Wars: The Clone Warsshowcases the events that stem from the Separatist Crisis resulting to a full scale war which leads to the formation of the Intergalactic Empire and theannihilation of the Jedis. Yoda, Anakin and the Jedi Knights fight in the Clone Wars, taking them to many new planets and introducing new players. The series spans the time betweenStar Wars Episode II: Attack of the ClonesandStar Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
WhileStar Wars: The Clone Warsmay have gotten off to something of a rocky start when it was first introduced back in 2008, the series' reputation improved significantly throughout its run and is now considered to be one of the franchise’s strongest offerings. The series has done well tointroduce the character Ahsoka Tano, who appeared very briefly inThe Rise of Skywalkerno less, with rumours abound that she is soon due to be featuring in live-action form. If that were not already enough, the series has wonderfully expanded the stories' mythical lore, and even fixed polarising character Jar Jar Binks.
Fans were disappointed when the show was cancelled after an abbreviated sixth season back in 2014, withReturn of the Jedistyle celebrations taking place across the known galaxy upon the announcement of the shows revival on Disney+. Judging by this trailer, audiences are all set to have their expectations met.
Star Wars: The Clone Warsseason 7 is set to be released exclusively on Disney Plus on February 21. This comes to us courtesy of Star Wars Official Channel.
