When the (rumored) plot descriptions for the final Clone Wars episodes were leaked yesterday, many fans immediately noticed the description for the episode Sacrifice referred to the Sith homeworld of "Moriband". This jumped out to many fans who are familiar with the Expanded Universe, as the EU had established the Sith homeworld as being called "Korriban". The immediate speculation was that there was simply a typo or something was lost in the translation from German to English.
Not so. Jedi News is reporting that one of their readers reached out to SuperRTL, the German channel airing the final episodes of The Clone Wars beginning February 15th, who confirmed that it is suppose to be Moriband. According to SuperRTL,
"We have kept to the text presets given to us by Disney / Lucasfilm. To be on the safe side, we just took a second look at the original English text, and there it definitely says 'Moriband'."
So there you have it. The Sith home world is now Moriband. This is not the first time The Clone Wars has changed expanded universe canon. There have been several instances throughout the first five seasons of the show where things were changed. For fans looking to retcon this, however, Club Jade does point out that the expanded universe has had multiple Sith home worlds (eg, Ziost and Korriban are both referred to as the homeworld of the Sith) so this could just be another planet added to the list.
Personally, I have never minded The Clone Wars changing continuity, and this doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm just excited that we're going to the Sith homeworld! Also, with a new films and strong signs pointing to a new continuity, this may very well just be the tip of the ice berg.
