So are we saying I should get into Clone Wars now? Also, I would love to see a series based on Star Wars: Force Unleashed.
Lucasfilm has announced that the Clone Wars series is ending - though there will be more animated Clone Wars adventures in some form - and that they are working on a new Star Wars series "set in a time period previously untouched in Star Wars films or television programming." Ladies and gentlemen, start your speculation. You notice they didn't say "previously untouched in video games."
As for the much speculated-upon Seth Green comedy series Star Wars Detours, it would appear to be getting postponed indefinitely, as Lucasfilm feels a comedy series is an inappropriate way to lead into Episode VII. All this means is he'll make fun of it more on Robot Chicken, folks. And it'll probably go direct to DVD or webisodes - I could see them releasing it through something like the Nerdist Channel on YouTube.
After the jump, Dave Filoni previews a clip from The Clone Wars' final season...one in which Order 66 triggers a little early in a certain Clone.

@Gallen_Dugall @shaequankr No thats all but confirmed. No need for speculation and it makes perfect sense to lead into the new trilogy like the original clone wars min episodes did.

@Kozmik_Pariah Why does Ahsoka need to die? Luke is going to need help building the new Jedi order, who better to help than his father's Padawan?

@miketen10 @Kozmik_Pariah The thought of Ahsoka, being the closest to Anakin, becoming the first of the padawans to get killed when Anakin inevitably turns to the Dark Side is pretty much the only thing that makes the character tolerable.

@Someguy @miketen10 @ILDC @Kozmik_Pariah she didn't quit, she was expelled and then refused to accept the council's non-apology "We didn't make a mistake, because we are perfect, but we're willing to take you back and maybe promote you, and this time we promise we won't betray you... a promise is not a legal contract" BS
they betrayed her and never felt the slightest bit conflicted about it. It wasn't even the first time they betrayed her, they put her in harms way for the express purpose of having her killed in battle simply to help teach Anakin how to let go of attachments, this was just the first time she recognized the betrayal for what it was

@miketen10 @ILDC @Kozmik_Pariah While 80 probably wouldn't be that old, she needs to be given a better ending then, "I quit the Jedi." If she is not given a better one the question of where she has been while everyone was dying in tyranny.

@ILDC @miketen10 @Kozmik_Pariah No sarcasm from me. It would be one way to tie Clone Wars in with the live action Star Wars. She can die a old woman since by the time of Episode 7 she will be around 80 years old.

The Clone Wars was at a good point to be ending,yes the last season looks spectacular, but having it end with Ahsoka's story ending; without the end of show fan fair stomping on everything as usual works for me. I didn't cry but was I ever looking at the Jedi Council and shaking my head. AND WHO THE HELL WANTS PADME AS THEIR F*ING LAWYER? They trot her out and I screamed WHY NOT JUST TAKE AHSOKA STRAIGHT TO EXECUTION? she's the biggest idiot in the show, even bigger than Jar-Jar or the idiot she married.

@Gallen_Dugall Blame Jar Jar.. the gullible fool signed off giving Palpatine all his power.. if there was ever a reason to hate Jar Jar, its that. I wouldn't want either Padme nor Jar Jar as my rep.
@thehuntress1967 @Gallen_Dugall I dont know the tribunal might just let you off the hook just from pity if you had jar jar as your rep

@thehuntress1967 @Gallen_Dugall To GL's credit Palpatine, Padme and Jar Jar are the most realistic political characters ever presented to the public; Mr says one thing and does another to advance himself Palpatine, Senator Touchy Feely inch deep platitudes Padme and Senator Happy Go Lucky no ideas of his own Jar Jar. That pretty much covers the whole range of modern political personalities.
I'd at least want a professional who deals with trial law on a regular basis.

Agreed. The point of showing us the Republic's last days was to show us what role real politicians have in the end of a government and a way of life. Everyone screams about Jar-Jar's inclusion in Star Wars, but he's the central point of the political change. Without the well-meaning buffoon (of which we have many in our own government) doing what he THOUGHT his mentor would do (and being manipulated into it, to boot) the Emperor would never have taken over. Padme would never have let it happen if she were there to speak to the Senate.
Padme was an idealist, but she could sway other idealists in the Senate, at least. With Jar-Jar taking her place, all the idealists believed-- as Jar-Jar did-- that Jar-Jar acted in the idealists' best interest and followed Padme's lead.
Talk about the clones and Jedi all you want... In the end, the whole system fell apart and was rebuilt because ONE MAN managed to manipulate an idealist, a fool, and an angry young man.

@Gallen_Dugall That isn't the last episode; it seems kinda clear we're getting more in some way, shape, or form.
Just not any more on CARTOON NETWORK, which is no surprise.

@GeneralTekno @Gallen_Dugall absolutely, but it probably is the last episode I'll see unless I make some herculean effort to find whatever they eventually put out whereever they hide it and they will not top this one anyway so whatever

@Gallen_Dugall Jar Jar actually has a track record to prove he would be better - the one time he made a case to the Senate in the movies, he persuaded everybody.

@LYT @Gallen_Dugall I've never had a problem with Jar Jar - he actually has made me laugh twice, but it ties everything together in a weird abstract way. Instead of an impartial judge Ahsoka is judged by the head of state and a Sith, instead of a trial lawyer Ahsoka is given an incompetent senator who eventually dies because she loses the will to live, instead of a jury of peers Ahsoka gets shadow cloaked figures, instead of the Jedi supporting her they sit in the bleachers and look baffled.
Yes Ahsoka - leave the order, and while you're at it leave the planet and if at all possible get out of that galaxy

@Gallen_Dugall @Someguy @LYT The fact that she wasn't around was a fact for Padme. Plus telling her client not to talk. Yep. Military Kangaroo court. Heck Admiral Kimmel and Major General Short had a better shot at a fair military trial.

@Someguy @Gallen_Dugall @LYT It was a kangaroo court assembled expressly for this trial - you certainly can't expect anyone to believe that Palpatine presides over every case of treason that comes up from within the military. Tarkin never presented anything beyond circumstantial evidence and completely ignored the fact that Ahsoka wasn't even around at the time of the bombing

@Gallen_Dugall @LYT It was a military trial. So really shouldn't she have had a military advocate? Besides she is a senator of civil law / not military law.

They might as well release the final Clone Wars season directly to DVD as a full season set. I've been watching most of the episodes as they were released on YouTube to avoid the commercials. The added bonus is I can watch it all in one shot on a weekend instead of it being dragged out weekly and with long breaks in the season

@10glfan59 Yes, do a KotOR Please. But going by the style of ships and trooper armor it would fit better as something after Return of the Jedi and the "Captain" of the ship could be Han's son.

@10glfan59 Yes. I've been playing F2P SWTOR here and there, and it does have some nice story lines, but it is so annoyingly grindy... it is an MMO after all but still.
