Comic-Con 2018: Star Wars The Clone Wars Season 7 Revealed With First Trailer
<p>In a huge surprise, <em>Star Wars: The Clone Wars</em> animated series Season 7 was announced at <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/comic-con/">San Diego Comic-Con</a>. Fans got their first look at an older Anakin, Obi-Wan, Rex, and Ahsoka in a new SDCC trailer, which you can watch below. A total of 12 new episodes of the animated series are officially coming to Disney's upcoming streaming service.</p><p>After being canceled on Cartoon Network in 2013, the animated series <em>Star Wars: The Clone Wars</em> returned for a final sixth season on Netflix in 2014. The sixth season was shorter than the five that proceeded it and left many of supervising director Dave Filoni's stories unresolved. Several authors picked up those plot lines and wrote them into novels, such as <em>Star Wars: Ahsoka Tano</em> and <em>Star Wars: Dark Disciple</em>.</p><p>Based on the trailer, the seventh season seems to pick up close to the start of <em>Revenge of the Sith</em>. Anakin and Obi-Wan are called in to take a hologram call, only to see that it's with Anakin's former apprentice Ahsoka and Mandalorian warrior Bo-Katan Kryze. In the <em>Ahsoka Tano</em> novel, we learn that Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka reunite for the first time since Ahsoka left the Jedi Order on Mandalore. There, the three, along with Clone Captain Rex and Commander Cody, fight in one of Star Wars' most infamous battles: the Siege of Mandalore.</p><div data-embed-type="video" data-ref-id="2300-6445109" data-src="/videos/star-wars-the-clone-wars-official-comic-con-traile/2300-6445109/" data-width="100%" data-height="100%"><iframe src="/videos/embed/6445109/" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen></iframe></div><p>Near the end of the battle, Anakin and Obi-Wan are called away to return to Coruscant to rescue Chancellor Palpatine, kidnapped by General Grievous. The two Jedi leave Ahsoka behind and in charge of Anakin's 501st Legion of clone troopers. It's at this point that the three's paths diverge, with Anakin and Obi-Wan's rescue mission being the opening scene of <em>Revenge of the Sith</em> and Ahsoka's solo command during the Siege of Mandalore being the opening scene of <em>Star Wars: Ahsoka Tano</em>.</p><p>Whether the season will entirely focus on the Siege of Mandalore, end on the battle, or start there and then focus on other conflicts that occurred during the opening hours of <em>Revenge of the Sith</em> is still a mystery.
