The Clone Wars Panel Recap – New Trailer, Clips and Concept Art from the New Season
During last year’s 10th anniversary of The Clone Wars at San Diego Comic Con, Dave Filoni revealed that we will be getting 12 new episodes from the fan favorite animation series, coming to Disney’s new streaming platform Disney+. Now during the panel at Celebration Filoni and many of the cast members shared more details about the upcoming season and what we can expect from it, including a brand new trailer, three clips and concept art from the series.

Ahsoka begins the trailer lost and in 1313 where the Jedi are accused of “starting wars” but by trailer’s end she’s wielding duel lightsabers, hitching a ride on a Mandalorian’s jetpack and taking on a Sith Lord. #TheCloneWars
