Topic: Clone Wars Season 5 Talk

[wraithnine]

Looks like the Disney acquisition was a poisoned chalice for the clone wars ,I mean if they are prepared to kill off a very popular tv show and a show that has an ardent following makes no sense ,I now firmly believe that the Disney acquisition of lucasfilm coupled with Hasbro's ineptitude will see the demise of our beloved franchise .time to batten down the hatches folks ...a storms coming.

I don't think Disney was gonna allow a TV Series that wasn't on their own station.

[Spookymufu]

I'm pretty sure the CW will continue and be on Disney XD forcing those (like me) who dont subscribe to that channel to purchase it just for that show.

I really do hope that at least another season does happen as it'd be good to have Maul being played by Sidious one more time and then see his end as well as a focus on the Clones and their relationship to the Jedi leading up to Order 66.

I have a bad feeling about this......

Looks like they've killed it - perhaps a couple of  straight to DVD release and it's done?

[Mr. Black]

Yeah, well the preview shown here looks pretty BA to me. Gotta turn on the Sithfire sign, because he's definitely gonna want to make those swirly headed Jedi in realistic form

Shame, the show had a great run. And at least we have a little more to look forward to, whatever form it takes!

[PROVOST]

Does that announcement mean a season six happens and is the final season?

Putting a video announcement on the front page too

Looks like we might get a TCW movie or two, but I guess we shouldn't be surprised that Disney is doing their own animated show in a SW Time period previously unexplored.

I was honestly a little disappointed with this season of The Clone Wars.  There were still some big gaps to resolve, like what happens with Asoka (we got some payoff there) or Captain Rex.  Instead we were subjected to extended story arcs about Jedi younglings and a unit of droids (granted we did get a cool glimpse of a clone commando in that one) that may have been better suited for stand alone episodes. 

I was really intrigued in season four by the development of the clones, especially in the Umbara arc, but this season my 8 year old even asked "why are there no clones in this season of the Clone Wars?".  Would have liked to see that explored further.  Here's hoping we do get those big points of payoff somehow.  That clip did look fantastic. 

Also was anyone else hoping a follow on animated series after the Clone Wars would follow the development of the younger Fett?

Those big gaps could be resolved soon......according to Filoni,Plo Koon looks into the mystery surrounding Master Sifo Dyas.

Wow, did you see that new helm for Fox? Fantastico! Time to take this to the front page.

Thanks for the link Benjani 1976.

I know,it's like a McQuarrie snowtrooper bucket without the bib..........as it happens I have a spare with the bib missing,i'm on the case with that one later

With the built in respirator it could be a new style harsh environment set up. Early sandtrooper?

Who's lightsaber do you think that could've belonged to? T-6 jedi shuttlecraft.....this is getting interesting.
