Send In The Clones

Star Wars fans got one of their longtime wishes granted when Disney announced a couple days back that they were restarting a well-loved TV series:

From 2008 to 2013, The Clone Wars ran on Cartoon Network, revealing the massive war that took place between the theatrical, live-action movies Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. It featured existing characters such as Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi as well as a number of original fan-favorite characters. ...

[T]he show will return with a new season of 12 additional episodes via Disney’s direct-to-consumer streaming service, which is expected to launch sometime next year. When the service was first announced, Disney CEO Bob Iger noted that it would launch with new stories from the Star Wars universe, including a new, live-action Star Wars show, which will be written by Jon Favreau. ...

Somewhere on the internet, somebody knows what studio the Walt Disney Company is using to create the new episodes, but it's unknown to me. (I get around not very much.) If this batch goes over in a large way, no doubt there will be more installments beyond the new dozen.

  1. I suppose Lucasfilm Animation will produce the new episodes, who also did the series beforehand, and also Star Wars Rebels.
