Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars -- Season 4
 
So Dave Filoni announced that all the episodes from Season 6 are finished and will be released somehow early next year. Several sites are reporting that there are 22 episodes which is actually more than Season 5.

Germany is apparently getting first crack at Season 6, with German network Super RTL set to premiere it on February 15.

Season 6 is apparently an abbreviated 13 episodes long.

Meanwhile, the Darth Maul storyline from the show will be finished off as a comic from Dark Horse:

Sixth & Final Season Of ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ To Stream On Netflix
 

After resurrecting The Killing for a final season after its cancellation by AMC, Netflix is doing the same for Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The streaming service will debut a 13-episode sixth and final installment of the animated series on March 7. Titled The Lost Missions, the season promises to reveal “some of the deepest mysteries of the conflict between the light and the dark sides of the Force leading to a series finale.” An intrepid clone trooper discovers a shocking secret, Anakin Skywalker’s closest relationship is tested to its limits, and what Master Yoda discovers while investigating the disappearance of a Jedi could forever change the balance of power in the galaxy. Under the multi-year deal with Disney/ABC TV Group, Netflix will be the exclusive subscription service for the entire Star Wars: The Clone Wars series, including several director’s cut episodes never seen on TV, as well as the 2008 feature film. This marks the first time any Star Wars content has been available on Netflix. It also expands the fast growing relationship between Netflix and Lucasfilm parent Disney. A year ago, the two companies signed a groundbreaking output movie deal, the first time a major movie studio had chosen streaming vs. pay cable for its features. And recently, the companies sealed another unprecedented pact for four series and a miniseries from another marquee Disney label, Marvel. “The Clone Wars marks an important moment as Netflix welcomes more and more first-run content from The Walt Disney Company and its subsidiaries,” said Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos.

Lucasfilm announced the end of Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Time Warner’s Cartoon Network in March, a couple of months after the company’s acquisition by Disney. While the series was over on Cartoon Network, the company promised forthcoming original “bonus content,” noting that “we’re continuing production on new Clone Wars story arcs.” Additionally, Lucasfilm is prepping a new Star Wars animated series for sibling Disney XD, Star Wars Rebels, which bridges Episodes III and IV of the movie franchise. The Clone Wars takes place between Episodes II and III. Netflix has signaled its interest in original animated series and recently acquired the Michael Eisner produced BoJack Horseman for a launch this year. In addition to The Killing, Netflix recently revived another cancelled series, cult comedy Arrested Development, with talks under away about another installment.

I've never really gotten into The Clone Wars, but now that it's coming to Netflix, I'll probably check it out. Pretty cool...

I am pretty excited about this because I always wanted to watch Clone Wars but it just never happened and after I fell a season or two behind I just gave up. Thought about buying the Season sets but having the entire run come to Netflix will be great!

Yea... I just recently did that. :doh: :suicide:

I just bought Seasons 1-5 collection on blu when Best Buy had a sale on it and offered triple rewards.

If you can get past the stinkers this is a really good show. Can't wait to watch the final season.

Many of the episodes on Blu/DVD had director's cuts. I'd imagine these would just be those same ones. I don't see them doing anymore rendering on old episodes since they're moving over to Rebels (we're damn lucky we're getting this sixth season at all).

I've been watching these via DVD and I'm still in the middle of season 4. I'll need to get caught up pretty quick (and I hope these new eps will also get a physical release since it would drive me nuts to have a partial collection on my shelf).

Wow, was expecting them to put just 6 leftover episodes on DXD and be done with it.

Too bad this probably won't be on tv. I probably will check it out later this year. I'm not a big fan of the Clone Wars but I am excited about Rebels.

Would be nice if they put all seasons there.

If you've never seen the series, get a solid episode guide in advance and learn to skip over the poor episodes. This series was wildly hit or miss, with many dumb storylines that can be entirely skipped.

How does this fit in with the whole Star Wars timeline? I've seen all of the movies, but haven't really seen any of these yet. My son is at the age where he is starting to watch these as well, but I don't know where they fit in. I was planning to buy the 5 season set bluray at Christmas but now am glad I didn't as well...

It fits in the 3 years between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.

Awesome! I've never watched this show, but I've wanted to for a while and was hoping it would end up on Netflix or Amazon Prime.

Damn, when was that? I've had my eye on the set since it came out.

It was either just before Christmas or the week or so after I think.

I've seen some of this series and agree that it is very hit or miss. Glad I didn't buy the box sets. :)

I am curious as to whether or not this Clone Wars series is supposed to replace the 2-D animated one CN originally made to use as canon between AOTC and ROTS? Is this even supposed to be real canon or just some speculative EU ? Some of the episodes I saw seemed to contradict what we saw in ROTS. Then again, a lot of the PT contradicted what we saw in the OT , so no surprises in that regard.

That original Clone Wars cartoon has been eliminated from continuity. The public stance from Lucasfilm was that the CGI series was now the official story for its period for the Star Wars movie universe. Honestly though, it would get obliterated in a minute if a new filmmaker had an idea in this time period. The cartoons and other media will always be secondary to the movies, no matter what Lucas or Disney says. I doubt JJ Abrams is closely studying this spotty CGI series for continuity details.

That does make me wonder if the new crop of movies will pretty much eliminate 75% of written EU to date. The only stuff that would remain as possible canon in that case would be what was written to take place between and around the six movies.

The irony of the Clone Wars TV show was that Cartoon Anakin was a much cooler and likeable character then Hayden Christensen ever was in either Episode II & III. Again, I don't know if it was Lucas's directing or Hayden's acting, but I like the Cartoon Anakin better! :lol:

Consider yourself lucky your Internet provider isn't secretly throttling Netflix. Verizon is attempting to extort Netflix for more money by throttling the service to its Internet customers. I haven't got a reliable HD stream from Netflix in two months and I have a premium Fiber optic connection.

Probably midnight west coast time so 3am eastern. Or they could just load them up during the day.

The first 12 episodes of season six are up as well as the entire series. The best part... they are in 2.35:1 widescreen aspect ratio! Finally we get to see the show as it was meant to be viewed instead of waiting for Blu-ray.

Thank you Netflix and Disney!
