More Content or Details from Star Wars: The Clone Wars Inbound?
A recent Twitter conversation between Brent Friedman – a writer of Star Wars: The Clone Wars – and a fan indicates that information on an unfinished story arc of the show might be coming to light – possibly as a part of the multimedia project The Clone Wars Legacy.
From The Wolfpack Podcast:
One of the many talented writers Star Wars The Clone Wars, Brent Friedman is hinting that the arc that he wrote for Season 7, entitled “The Bad Batch”, which features Captain Rex discovering that Clone Trooper Echo is still alive, may be coming in some format! That means we could either get a comic, a novel, or maybe even episodes based on this unaired Clone Wars story.
The actual discussion of this is as follows:
@A207Pj Have a feeling there will be some Bad Batch info coming soon. Can’t say what or how I know, tho, so pls don’t ask. Just be patient.

@WoodmanIsaac21 That’s what the Bad Batch arc, which I wrote, is about. Can’t give away the story. 😉 — Brent Friedman (@BFree63) February 22, 2015
However, he mentions that information is the key word here:
@AlbertKleppin @RebelsReport @A207Pj All I said was more “info.” People are reading way too much into my tweet. 😉

@Halabrew @A207Pj The key word in my tweet is “info.” Please don’t expect more than that. — Brent Friedman (@BFree63) February 22, 2015
Whether this equates to there being more content for The Clone Wars Legacy or glimpses at what could have been is currently ambiguous at this stage. The soonest we’d find out about it would either be next month’s issue of Star Wars Insider or (more likely) Star Wars Celebration Anaheim.

Man, I know Rex was popular, but showing up twice in one poster?
I expect at least a half season run of Clone Wars so the Star Wars story board council can sort out loose ends like is Maul canon etc.
Darth Maul: Son Of Dathomir is canon, even though it wasn’t published at Marvel.
So is the Maul story arc tied up now?? still working my way through season 5
Yes and no. They did have at least one more Darth Maul story arc in the planning stages, but Son Of Dathomir ties things up quite nicely otherwise.
It had its weak spots, but Clone Wars was head and shoulders above Rebels. It’s a shame reruns still aren’t on TV when so many crappy cartoons get shown countless times a week.
That has to do with why it was cancelled. They won’t say it, but Disney couldn’t stand CN having the rights of their franchise. Only solution was cancelling and they can’t even use TCW 3d models in Rebels.
In regards to not being able to use the 3D models – why is that? I honestly have no idea as to the reason so I’m ignorantly asking!
Remember rebels is a complete new series, clone wars first couple of seasons had some good story-lines but other than that really were not that good, rebels really is amazing in comparison of those seasons, I expect next season to blow this one out of the water.
Both shows are mediocre kids stuff at best but the Disney show plays out too much like a Disney show.
Anon @00:32, what universe did you fly in from?!?!?!?
The tone of Clone Wars had some maturity to it, and didn’t pander to kids. Rebels goes waaay overboard with the wacky hi-jinks and shenanigans. If Lucas were still involved, they’d blame him, but he’s not. There’s already the Lego cartoons you’d think that be enough to cater to the youngest fans.
Clone Wars ended at a good time, but it’s just too bad that because of logistics, the only way a kid will likely see it now is if their parent buys a DVD.
I am watchin’ it on blu-ray for the first time at the moment. It helps while waiting for ep7 and it’s ace!
uhm… I prefer Echo dead, and saw There was a story arc starring Rex leading some commando squad, id prefer that
They need to just kill this entire storyline.
I, for one, would like to know what the heck happened to clone trooper Gregor.
Who’s with me?!?
He died buying time for Gascon and the droids. His story seems pretty “over” to me. Godspeed, you glorious bastard.
you dont know for a fact he died,its implied he did but we dont know for a fact
I’m tired of the Rebel bashers! Enough already! It’s a good show and I’m sorry to those who can’t wrap their heads around that. Just because Rebels doesn’t feature hundreds of weird aliens, new world’s and tons of characters, that doesn’t mean it’s a bad show. What CW Lacks, Rebels has in spades. I’m talking about CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. Sure the scope of rebels is smaller, but I actually care about what happens to them because of the attention to building these characters in a 3 dimensional way.and as far as this being a kids show, the inquisitor just BEHEADED Two guys in a recent episode! What more could you want?
How does rebels have more character development? In the clone wars we got to know the clones, count dooku, general grievous, asajj ventress, ashoka tano, darth maul, savage opress and classics like yoda and palpatine. Seriously, anakin and padme was interesting.
You have some growing up to do if simply meeting characters constitutes development. What development actually means is that the characters have complexity and depth that is revealed and compounded with each new episode. This show is creating long-lasting characters that will resonate as time passes.
Enough bitching already. If you hate it so much, quit watching.
Character development does not equate to certain characters appearing. It refers to dynamic change in existing characters.
All this.
Rebels has been as solid if not better than the first season of Clone Wars.
Definitely not a kids show either. My nephews and nieces don’t watch it as much as I or my brother and sister do.
And Clone Wars had ridiculousness too. (See the droid arcs, smh).
The character development in Clone Wars was awesome, but only because those characters had zero development in the prequel movies. Clone Wars was necessary to redeem those characters, including Padme and Anakin.
Rebels isn’t as necessary for obvious reasons but is definitely satisfying and gets to the heart of the Star Wars conflict – an ensemble of characters fighting a battle between the Light Side and Dark Side/
I absolutely loved the Clone Wars. I am currently re-watching the show in chronological order on Netflix with my 6-yr old. He is a massive Rebels fan but also enjoys the Clone Wars. I tried to get him to sit down last year and watch the original trilogy with me and he just wasn’t into it at the time, but Rebels and Clone Wars have really sparked his interest in Star Wars. We just finished Return of the Jedi yesterday and he loved it. I think people need to realize that there will be a lot of new content catering to the younger audience. And I for one am OK with that. Seeing your son tear up when Yoda dies and shout for joy as Vader tosses the emperor over the rail as he witnessed these events on screen for the first time was priceless. What made this possible for a new generation? – Cartoons. Lol. I really hope to see some more Clone Wars content in the future. 🙂
They keep teasing us. I’m starting to think Disney cancelled The Clone Wars because the show was simply getting too good. Gotta save those good ideas for the movies 😉
starwar game you have a wabin like light saver red bloue green is all color and you see drones you kud fight and never gave up a team after thay win thay go in the ship and all over.
