Save The Clone Wars

As you all know the Emmy award winning animated TV series Star Wars The Clone Wars was cancelled after its 5th season (The series is part of the official Star Wars Canon and is part of the immovable objects of Star Wars history along with the 6 movies) leaving most of the main storylines unresolved. In March 2014, The Lost Missions (13 episodes that were part of the planned season 6) were released on Netflix. In Summer 2014, the first canon comics called Star Wars Darth Maul Son of Dathomir was released, it was based on the unfinished Darth Maul arc from season 6. September 25, The story reel of the Obikin Utapau arc was released on StarWars.com under the banner of The Clone Wars Legacy, this was an unfinished arc from season 6 or 7. Next Summer the Dark Disciple Asajj Ventress/Quinlan Vos canon novel based on an unfinished arc from season 7 will be released. Even though the show was cancelled some of these stories are still released. The scripts of season 6-7-8 were all written (revealed by Dave Filoni and also by one of the writer of the series Brent Friedman on Twitter @BFree63 ) before the cancellation, part of the animation/concept arts were done for some arcs (according to the concept arts released for The Clone Wars Legacy) and also part of the voice recordings.

@JacobRegan18 All of it. And all of Season 8.

@JacobRegan18 Pretty sure it was a different arc involving Cad Bane and Boba Fett.

— Brent Friedman (@BFree63) May 16, 2014

The bounty Hunter arc was written by the head writer of season 6 Matt Michnovetz.

@Halabrew In my experience, when it came to Star Wars, George always enthusiastically led the development discussions. Right up to the end.

@Halabrew Knowing where Rex's story goes, I will definitely look forward to that arc being produced. But don't hold your breath. 😉

@Halabrew Ha! Injuries yes, but nothing so cruel was planned.

— Brent Friedman (@BFree63) May 15, 2014

Brent Friedman wrote two arcs about Rex – one called The Bad Batch and another about R2-D2 and Rex.

@JacobRegan18 Locking script was left to George & Dave. I wasn't involved in production but I'm sure directors could request script changes.

— Brent Friedman (@BFree63) May 16, 2014

@JacobRegan18 That's a pretty significant "all that was left…" 😉

@JacobRegan18 Yoda arc was in the Netflix bonus content. But there was another arc planned that also featured Yoda in a cool way.

— Brent Friedman (@BFree63) May 17, 2014

This second Yoda arc was the Kashyyyk arc that was planned for season 6.

@JacobRegan18 Oh that's interesting. Lemme think on that. I just might post the "fortune cookies" for all the Echo eps in the near future…

@JacobRegan18 Honestly don't know. Not sure it was ever decided.

— Brent Friedman (@BFree63) May 19, 2014

@CommanderFisto1 I sure hope so. If that's the only way to share some of the stories the CW team developed, then bring 'em on!

— Brent Friedman (@BFree63) May 19, 2014

@JacobRegan18 Good question. Don't recall anything specific but knowing Dave's fondness for Plo I'm sure he woulda turned up several times.

— Brent Friedman (@BFree63) May 19, 2014

@JacobRegan18 No plans that I remember. That's not an arc I would've asked to write. 😉

— Brent Friedman (@BFree63) May 19, 2014

@SirHalcyon No idea. That sure would've been a deal-breaker for me. 😉

— Brent Friedman (@BFree63) May 19, 2014

@JacobRegan18 Anakin's involved on/off throughout the arc but it's mostly Rex in charge of The Batch. Takes place on Anaxes & Skako Minor.

— Brent Friedman (@BFree63) May 19, 2014

@JacobRegan18 That would have been explored in another arc.

— Brent Friedman (@BFree63) May 19, 2014

Knowing this the fans of The Clone Wars didn’t give up and thought on Twitter asking Disney to #SaveTheCloneWars

Disney is really the authority that can bring back our beloved show and fans need to keep showing there is interest for The Clone Wars by tweeting using the hashtag #SaveTheCloneWars and buying The Clone Wars The Lost Missions blu-ray, Star Wars Darth Maul Son of Dathomir comics and the upcoming Dark Disciple novel.

@JacobRegan18 The Emperor. I mean, the Chairman of Disney. 😉

and part of the crew is with the fans for getting these remained stories :

@A_Targaryen @DrZakVenkman @JacobRegan18 I'm right there in the trenches with you, my friends. You fans deserve these stories in some form.

Furthermore these untold stories are considered as canon as Pablo Hidalgo ( from the Lucasfilm Story Group) revealed it in The Clone Wars Legacy video :
