While The Mandalorian has wrapped up its first season, there is still another Disney+ original series from the Star Wars universe coming your way in the next month. Season 7 of the animated series The Clone Wars will be arriving soon, and fans will get a whole batch of new episodes featuring their favorite characters from Ahsoka to Obi-Wan to Anakin to all the Clone Troopers.
In a video promoting upcoming series on the Disney site, it was revealed that the new season of the series will be arriving on Monday, February 17. However, hours after the video went up, it was pulled from the site. Most Disney original series have new episodes air on Fridays, so fans could get two episodes of Season 7 in one week.
In 2008, Dave Filoni brought Star Wars fans an amazing animated series that expanded on a conflict in the SW universe that the movies glossed over, the Clone Wars. Over the course of six seasons and taking place between the movies Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, the battle between the Separatists and the Republic army–which consisted of Clones and Jedi. At SDCC 2018, it was revealed Season 7 would be arriving to Disney+. We’re only a month away from the release of the new season, but what is this season going to be about and when does it premiere?
Based on the trailer for the show’s return that was released in August, this season of Clone Wars is headed a few different places, and we could even see a connection between this show at Disney+’s The Mandalorian. More than likely, this season will cover the final days of the Clone Wars.
In the trailer which you can see above, Ahsoka Tano and Bo-Katan are seen together, and we know that Bo-Katan has possession of the Darksaber at this time–which Moff Gideon is seen holding in the final episode of The Mandalorian.
The real kicker is the appearance of Darth Maul, whose history is tied to Mandalore, as he help cause the civil war there and took it over with the Shadow Collective. He also had possession briefly of the Darksaber and caused Death Watch–the Mandalorian group–to splinter. Needless to say, Maul’s inclusion in this trailer may mean we’ll finally get to see Palpatine’s Order 66 playout in this final season, which will mark the end of the Clone Wars.
Although it’s a month away from the new season, Disney has yet to reveal the release schedule, outside of the first episode. We do know there will be 12 episodes in the season though, and we’ll keep you updated when the specific dates continue to be revealed.
Clone Wars Season 7 release schedule:
- Episode 1 – Monday, February 17
