While the studio is no longer producing new episodes for Cartoon Network, we’re continuing production on new Clone Wars story arcs that promise to be some of the most thrilling adventures ever seen. You can expect more details in the months to come.Īs part of this shift, we have also made some key decisions affecting Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Detours.Īfter five highly successful and critically acclaimed seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, we feel the time has come to wind down the series.
#STAR WARS DETOURS SERIES#
We are exploring a whole new Star Wars series set in a time period previously untouched in Star Wars films or television programming. In addition, Star Wars Detours, the new series that was announced last year, has been postponed as a result of plans for the new trilogy of movies.Īs we enter into an exciting new era focused on the next Star Wars trilogy, Lucasfilm has decided to pursue a new direction in animated programming. Though new episodes aren’t being produced for Cartoon Network, new content is still being written and will be released at some point. He also added that he would like for people to see it, but the experience he had made it all worth the while.Lucasfilm has announced that Star Wars: The Clone Wars is coming to an end after five seasons.

But we finished them almost 10 years ago, and so there would have to be a bit of reconfiguring of the existing stuff to make it something that Disney+ would release as a Lucasfilm offering.
