What else do we expect these new episodes to explore? Sorry for the shitty list. I'm far from being the encyclopedia that E_CHU_TA! is.

This is about more than just #clonewarsaved
This is the early promotion and build up to IX as well as the Disney streaming service.
Willing to bet IX will feature Ahsoka, Ezra and Thrawn as well as Skywalker and Kenobi.
Maybe Rey will be trained by Ahsoka, or she'll school Kylo on his grandfather.
Most Stoked since the Episode VII trailer dropped.

BTW, the hanger shot in the trailer is from the previously unfinished episode "A Distant Echo." See the 44 second mark below.

- Dave FiloniI myself have had to go back and watch a whole bunch of stuff that I had done, and I went back and watched Revenge of the Sith and Attack of the Clones in depth again.

Hey, it's a tough job, but somebody's gotta do it.

I'm just happy for Dave Filoni, who gets to end this series according to his vision.
Anyone linking this to the fan backlash from TLJ is just uninformed. This revival has been in the works for at least a year. Filoni had an interview with Andi Guttierez back at Celebration 2017 saying how much he wished he could talk about future animation projects, but he couldn't. I believe he was referring to this, not Resistance (which we have heard virtually nothing about, even though it debuts in 2-3 months).
I also noted that the panel and story didn't say anything about a release date. I'd infer the Disney streaming service's debut date will correspond to this series' debut. Having a Star Wars property should be a key component to the streaming service rollout.
The Siege of Mandalore will likely take up 4 of the 12 episode slots. I'm not sure we'll see finished versions of anything we've already seen. George Lucas was still part of the storytelling when those episodes were in development. I doubt he'll get re-involved here.
I also think it's certain Ahsoka will be a central figure in at least one of the arcs that take up the remaining 8 slots. If this TCW season finishes off Ahsoka's story as it relates to Anakin, it will fulfill one of my wishes for stories in this era. Having the 12th episode of this season conclude with Anakin and Obi-Wan flying off to Coruscant would be the perfect way to end it.
This, along with some of the book announcements really shows the prequel era some love by LFL, something it has been lacking for the past 4 years. The Clone Wars has endured because it was beautifully photographed, had compelling and consequential stories, but also, it's presence on Netflix can't be underestimated. I'm sure it gained a significant audience beyond the 2008-13 lifespan of the show. If LFL put the 4 seasons of Rebels on Netflix, I think it would find similar increased fan engagement. But with the new Disney streaming channel coming, I don't see that happening.

He's wrong. But, it's good to read about Boba's trajectory on the show.

starwars.com wrote:... the Emmy Award-winning animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars will make its triumphant return in February of 2020. Fans created a global #SaveTheCloneWars campaign several years ago for creator Dave Filoni to be able to finish the series, and their voices were heard. The series will finally provide the epic conclusion to the critically-acclaimed series that fans have been asking for, bringing the story up to the events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Order 66.

That’s not quite true. The only thing Lucas didn’t approve of that overlapped ROTS was an arc with Padme on an undercover mission, which would be a complication for her pregnancy. The Siege of Mandalore and it’s POV of Ahsoka and Rex dealing with Order 66 is something he and Lucas planned before George retired.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

It seems, if I can correctly interpret what it says, that the decision to replace Nyx Okami with the Martez sisters in the Ahsoka in the Coruscant Underworld arc was Filoni’s alone with George Lucas’s thumbs up, not because of Kathleen Kennedy and her so-called “identity politics” or “gender politics”.
E_CHU_TA! wrote:I would guess that Nyx got nixed, because of the finality of Season 7. There's no good reason to introduce a new love interest for Ahoska if that story-line has no time to develop within the confines of the season.
