Star Wars: The Clone Wars Remains On Netflix!

After concerns rose that Netflix was going to drop Star Wars: The Clone Wars from its list of streamable television programs (while curiously leaving the pilot movie up), some good news has arrived. The expiration date for the show came and went without the program’s removal from the service, meaning that the critically-acclaimed predecessor to Rebels (and the new continuity as a whole) is not going anywhere!

 

 

From Decider:

Last month, eagle-eyed Star Wars fans noticed that Star Wars: The Clone Wars came with an unusual notation on Netflix: “Available until March 7, 2017.” A flurry of blogposts went out warning fans that if they hadn’t yet caught up on the delightful and grossly underrated animated series, their chances might soon be coming to an end… Today, we can confirm that Star Wars: The Clone Wars is not leaving the service, per a Netflix spokesperson.

 

So, that’s that. The Clone Wars will stay put on Netflix, which makes sense considering that the service was the first to host the sixth season of the show. And let’s not forget this post from a few days ago, which says that there is no end date scheduled for the show:

 

 

 

 

In any case, it’s probably safe to presume that Lucasfilm got a boost out of the panic, either by an influx of fans who were trying to watch (or rewatch) the show as quickly as possible or by the fans that went all the way and bought the boxed sets. And hopefully, the fans who finally set time aside to give the series a whirl got something out of it as well.

      I can get it everywhere I’ve used Netflix (tried in France, Germany and Sweden and US) apart from the UK – bloody annoying.

    Such a great show, I hate Rebels is nowhere near Clone’s level. I am sure a lot of it has to do with them having to be more kiddy than their predecessor.

    Or any other European one (that’s not Scandinavian)?

    I mean: “when is it coming to any other European country other than Scandinavia?”

    I was binge watching it just to be safe, but I knew it would not be removed. Just now, whem Netflix aquired all the movies (sans Ep VII and R1 yet) and even Rebels, some of the Lego series, documentaries, they would remove Clone Wars? Nonsense.

    Whoever had not seen it, see that show. It is AWESOME.

    Netflix often does this. What I found very funny is, that, when I went back in Hungary for vacations, I realised Netflix had a lot of more things than in Italy. I thought they where new additions. It obv turned out that I simply where in a different zone.

    It’s been a good two years since the Netherlands had it..

    Had Chinatown on my watchlist for a while, wanted to watch it the day before yesterday aaaaand it’s gone. Same for All the Presidents Men and many more..
    Luckily I’ve already seen those, but it’s still pretty annoying.

    So here’s the thing:

    Every month, Netflix has a list that DOZENS of entertainment sites publish, which details the days movies and shows are entering and leaving Netflix.

    The Clone Wars not never on the list.

    Don’t believe everything you see on the Internet.

      Even Pablo Hidalgo believed it.

        He has regularly said he has no insight on such matters. He is a human being as well, but no official source said anything of the kind and, as stated, they tell us what is going and coming every month.

          Yeah, but he did say “apparently”.

            B/c he was being told by dozens of people on twitter that it was going away. So “apparently”.

            Usually being told by a bunch of unconfirmed sources was not enough for him

        Hell, I work at Netflix and I wasn’t sure if it was true or not.

    Man when I saw that it was going away I finally finished the series for the first time, and while I wanted to shoot myself in the head during the 4 episode arc of the small alien and the droids, the series ended really strong. Glad that I finally go through it all.

    I’m still waiting on a proper collector’s edition season 1-6 box set. Maybe with a few new episodes too. It’d sell so well! Come on Lucasfilm!

    How awesome would it be if Filoni is currently working on finishing this show up since he has stepped away from day to day on Rebels. Just make them Disney and sell the directly to fans, or put them online for $1.99 per episode or something, just so we can get the rest of the episodes (including the ones done in comic and book form).

      I would die for those Untold Ahsoka arcs.
