Rumor: New 'The Clone Wars' Story Reel and Comics Mini-Series Coming in 2016

File this one under rumors that we're skeptical of, but really want to be true.  A new post on Reddit is claiming that two new pieces of Star Wars: The Clone Wars Legacy Content are coming in 2016.  One is a story reel starring Ahsoka Tano in the underworld of Coruscant, the other is a five issue mini series that will tell the story of what went down on Mandalore following the events of Season 5. 

According to the original post,

In 2016 we're going to get at least two new TCW arcs as a story reel and as a comic to coincide with Ahsoka's reappearance in Rebels and her upcoming fight with Vader *First is the Ahsoka Underworld Arc (Has not been officialy named yet) and it has production nr. 605-608 and will be released as a story reel on starwars.com

*Then we're going to get a 5 issue miniseries made my Marvel Comics named Star Wars : The Invasion of Mandalore. The fourth episode was split into 2 issues since it was very action and story packed. 

We do know that both of these arcs were in production.  The Ahsoka arc described above did make it to story reel form and at least one of the episodes had been recorded with the main cast.  We saw a clip of this at the "The Untold Clone Wars" Panel back in April at Star Wars Celebration.  You can see the clip at 47:50 in the video below,

As much as I want this rumor to be true, I'm skeptical.  Firstly, I'm skeptical of any rumor that comes from Reddit.  But more importantly, I find it hard to believe that once The Force Awakens comes out Disney will want to do much looking back at the TV series they cancelled when they bought Lucasfilm.  That being said, I would love to be wrong about this.

As always this is just a rumor until confirmed or denied by Lucasfilm or Disney.

Just finish the show already, give us the remaining episodes for season 6 as well as seasons 7 and 8. Thank you. The fans will never stop demanding it. We dont want comics or unfinished animation. Give us completed episodes like George Lucas wanted us to have. It makes sense theres such a high demand for it.

I agree completely

I'll take what I can get but it already breaks my heart that "Crystal Crisis" "Bad Batch" "Son of Dathomir" and "Dark Disciple" aren't actually parts of the show cause I've loved everything from the reels comic and book! :'( bring back the clone wars even if it's once Rebels is done airing. Please complete it.

Please finish the show!!!!!! I don't care about the comics or story reels and I really do appreciate the job of the crew which they have done. We don't want comics or novels just fully animated episodes. Please disney allow the clone wars crew to finish the series as it had been originally scheduled and give us every story arc of the clone wars legacy in episodes. Bring back CLONE WARS!!!!!!!!!!!

Bring back the Clone Wars, but I hope it never ends

Unknown said...

I really miss the Clone Wars. Why could they not just have ended it properly? I loved the show! Please, bring back the Clone Wars.

Unknown said...

Bring the Clone Wars back! I'm heart broken over its cancellation still.

I agree with you Steven Gleen! I do not want unfinished work, or episodes n books or comics. Plus the rebels show is not as good. I do not like, or care about the characters as much.i want to see the wookie episode when they are riding on those giant wookie like creatures. See Cad bane teach Boba Fett, find out what Asoka is doing right after she left the Jedi order. I have a potion https://www.causes.com/campaigns/82187-have-the-clone-wars-season-6-7-8-on-dvd-or-blue-ray also there is a blog were you can write to Disney, Lucuisfilm here it is http://www.savetheclonewars.com/ I hear the fans of the Star Wars novels are trying to put a billboard up saying we want more legand novels not Disney cannon books. Us clone wars fans should do the same. I do not live in California so I have no idea how much a billboard will cost, etc. if any body lives in California let me know. I want us clone wars fans to put up dome clone wars billboards
