Is Star Wars The Clone Wars Season 8 Being Worked On? -- czcams.com/video/Pd-FJgzz8uA/video.html
If Disney had never bought Star Wars we probably would have gotten all this.
Yeah... I really wish the sale happened after TCW ended so we could've seen all of these stories. In a perfect world, it would've been nice to see George make 7-9 as well and have Disney take over once he finished those films.
@@DCNetwork 7-9 would have been more creative under George
This isn’t true I don’t think. Filoni and some of the other higher ups involved in the show said the show would be ending a good year or so before the Disney buyout.
@@SarastistheSerpent there was 8 seasons planned, we know every arc and episode planned. It would have ended in 2016.
Probaly would have gotten the cancelled games as well.
It was such a weird decision to not complete the show in its entirety. Disney has the money, way more than Lucasfilm had before, so money couldn't be the issue. There was already a whole online movement to bring the show back, so there was clearly a demand for it. Again, such an odd decision. "Hey we're bringing Clone Wars back! Only for 12 episodes tho"
Fr, I thought the unfinished episodes would have been included w/ it’s return
Disney put it on the back burner, but I think they will most likely release these on streaming. Which is a problem, because I refuse to pay a never ending fee to watch shows I like. Especially since I have all the previous seasons on blu ray. If they get back to putting their shows on disc, I will buy them. I'm sure there are others like me.
@@studebricker2845 discs are becoming a relatively niche market. Most people wont buy dvds anymore. Not enough to make disney profit
@@The_Comeback_Kid01 I think there’s a chance they still do it though. Turning Red was released on DVD & Blu-Ray. As of rn, the Marvel movies are still being released on disc as well. Hopefully they do.
@@The_Comeback_Kid01 I get it, but discs are cheap to produce. I think after a few years, everyone who wants to stream them will have already done so. Add a few bonus features or make a special box set and people will buy them.
Rex and Ashoka never really interacted a lot in the show in hinesight. Their arcs were always seperate from each other. Seige of Mandalore was the most they interacted on screen.
I think the Crystal Crisis and Bounty Hunter arcs are the most important to get someday. Crystal Crisis especially for that scence with Anakin and Obi-Wan talking about Ahsoka leaving. And Bounty Hunter for the Cad Bane Boba Fett conection. Son of Daphomir and Dark Deciple already exist as (comic) books so it isn't as important to get them, but it would be great to see them animated.
I think there's also alot of room for new stories, if they wanted to write more.
Like how did Gregor survive, get off void and back to the republic? Did Numa meet Waxer and/or Boil again and how did she get boils armour?
Or stories about the characters that were created after the Clone Wars was discontinued. Like Cal Kestis and his master or Ruug and Mill from the Brotherhood book.
Oh yeah there's a ton of new stories they could potentially make but for now I'm just focused on and hoping we get these cancelled arcs.
Well the crystal crisis arc is almost done and you have them as a bonus and treat them as canon and add them to the episode list order
@@Code1Lyoko and crystal crisis is just pure fun. Constant Obi Wan and Anakin banter to the best extreme. For an arc with incredible foreshadowing, it's incredibly hilarious.
@@JIKwood and Grievous is developed this time around like he isn’t playing anymore he’s done and he shows that to the Utapau residences after beheading that little guy him impaling that other residence at the end with him saying in cold blood no now your sorry while walking away and watching him punch slapping Obi Wan is showing he’s like nope I’m done with these fights I should’ve punched his ass a long time ago like I’m not playing with you anymore Obi Wan I should’ve done that from the beginning of our fight gag
Imagine how much better season 7 it would have if instead of the two mediocre arcs that came before the final one we got Son of Dathomir.
Imagine if we got to see Maul escape Sidious, and take over the underworld before that arc? That would have been epic
I personally enjoyed all of season 7 but I completely understand people's criticisms with Ashoka's Walkabout and The Bad Batch Arc. I really think the season should've been longer and it needed to include Son of Dathomir. Because as of right now if you're someone who's watching for the first time it doesn't make sense going from S5 Maul to S7. They can't expect everyone to go read a comic to fill in the details.
@@DCNetwork I see your point and I think I agree. They could have kept those first two arcs but then added Son of Dathomir for three or 4 more episodes and would have set up final arc really well with explaining why and how Maul is back.
Plus it would have been awesome to see
Maul vs Grievous and Dooku wouldve been sick
@@thewestisthebest6608 it would be 4 more episodes
The bad batch arc was pretty fun tbh. But the Martez sisters arc was such a WASTE of time. Easily the worst couple of episodes in the entire series. Even worse than the jar jar ones
I hope we see Clone Wars Lost Missions 2 with all these arcs #CompleteTheCloneWars
Man just hearing what we could have had again 🥲🥲🥲 just the feels.
The Jedi Temple arc could be reworked with Plo Koon in place of Aniakan
I dont think that Dark Disciple can be canon anymore. It takes place in 19 bby, but ventress appears in bad batch season 3 in 18 bby
I somewhat agree although I saw Filoni said that Bad Batch Ventress doesn’t mess up previous storylines from Dark Disciple… I believe mother Talzin may have something to do with Ventress being resurrected or something along those lines. Nevertheless, Disney and Filoni still have a lot to explain regarding Ventress’s fate especially after the Bad Batch episode.
@@mlanzara9215I honestly think it was so stupid and pointless to even bring her back in the first place but I hope for a really good explanation for this
@@mlanzara9215 Filoni is an idiot and he retconned it. Also Mother Talzin died in Son of Dathomir arc
@@YellowMuddyFeetthey didn’t retcon anything. Ventress says in the show itself. “I still have a few lives left” clearly there is nightsister magic at play. Not talzins but cleary something.
Tbf the Ashoka show reminded us that Death and Night Sister Force Magick are not exactly not connected.
Clone Wars has changed comic canon before, so it could probably do it again
Season 7 and TOTJ retconned basically the entire Ahsoka novel, TBB retconned Ventress' death, TOTE retconned canon comic books. Don't forget that season 7 retconned itself in the Martez Sisters arc (judge me all you want but I think it was for the best, even thothe Sister's arc wasn't that good, I prefer it over making another stupid love interest for Ahsoka like Lux Bonteri)
The Yuuzhan Vong one would have so many ramifications if it had been made and was canon.
So thank goodness it wasn’t made… we don’t need to dilute the majesty of Star Wars into some kinda generic Star Trek thing… the NJO book series is some of the poorest quality in all of the EU (mindor and courtship amongst the very worst). The EU was scrapped as was because a large quantity of it was substandard for SW, just association cash grabs by authors often seemingly converting pre-written generic sci-fi for the SW franchise. That is not how you do a Star Wars
@@jwinnfield9192it still might happen
@@jwinnfield9192 and what disney is doing is any better?
@@timelordvictorious5508 fair point at times although it is lucasfilm without Lucas that is making it. Owned by Disney but made by lucasfilm. It’s getting better that the Lucas padawan is more in charge of creative direction though. The Andor guy seems to be doing alright too. To be honest the vong sounds like something that cretin hidalgo would do. That guy has somehow got a big role in the story group. Pretty sure he wouldn’t be doing that if Lucas was still around. He’d be like pablo, stop talking crap again, you don’t understand my galaxy so get out of my office and don’t come back. He is a bigger issue for lucasfilm than Kennedy these days. I just hope Filoni can keep him out of important decisions. He was supposed to be Star Wars continuity expert at some point. Not sure how anyone can justify that for someone that doesn’t get the source material. 🤦♂️
Great video I’m excited for Bad Batch Season 2 and Tales of the Jedi. We could end up seeing the bad Batch wookie episode in some form in the upcoming season (possibly in a flashback) and there is a rumor that they are making a Darth Maul animated show.
Thanks! I've heard of the Darth Maul animated series and I really hope that turns out to be true!
@@DCNetwork same I heard they said keep on Loving Clone Wars and we making more I love this show I rewatched alot
Probably only a scene or two at most
Son of Dathomir had to be in The Clone Wars! It's such an important piece to complete Maul's story. The Dark Disciple arc would give another great twist in tcw in honor of such an important character #CompleteTheCloneWars
Technically storyboards do count as unfinished but to me the ones they should've focused on were ones that Stull had unfinished animation.....dark disciple,crisis on utapau,bad batch on kashyyk,bounty hunnter arc,i'm not sure if the son of dathomir had any animation done
I have no doubt that the bounty hunter arc will be made in some form very soon but I highly doubt the vong and to a lesser extent the top gun arc. Top gun arc could happen but it would probably be a limited run comic special.
Sadly without Tom Kane as the voice of Yoda and the CW announcer I don't see anyway that they can bring them back
Lol I’m subbed to you too
Well, someone else can voice Yoda and there's a good chance they had already recorded the lines for the narrator. They could definitely work around it.
Computer generating the voice otherwise there are also other people sounding similar
He came back to do the Bad Batch S1E1 intro right? Or was that somehow recorded before his retirement?
@@Noah-tn5bcI think that was recorded before his retirement, but he might have come out just to do that voice over
It’s funny how Disney clearly loves money and appeasing investors more than the fans of Star Wars, yet they don’t do anything with all of the unfinished content that’s been basically done for them besides the animation. Absolutely astounding.
You deserve more subs. Your video demonstrates a quality that is typically found in CZcamsrs with more subscribers.
Thanks, I appreciate that!
Those you tubers didn’t start with those subscribers
Finally I’ve been waiting for someone to discuss this for years.
I'm not a big fan of the Yuzong Vong since they feel like just a alien invasion type story except on a galatic scale. However I woulda like to see them introduce them into back to the canon in a different context.
Grysk !!
I think we can see glimpses of Ahsoka's temple arc already in A World Between Worlds in Rebels. Palpatine trying to harness a powerful force and is ultimately stopped by Ahsoka and Ezra. Similar plot beats
Also Star Wars Resistance had an episode to fit the Sith temple under a Jedi temple.
Ah, my favorite show of all time. All of these could be made into movies instead. Maybe that's the better thing to do.
They could definitely do it in the form of movies as well. Either is fine with me as long as we get to see these stories.
Would it? They weren’t designed for that
Nice video. Yes I would like to see the Star Wars Clone Wars episodes to be finished that series is great.
Dark Dispile reminds me of the Clone Wars's flaws due to its tretment of Quinalin Vos
I can't wait for the q and a video
Feel like all these scrapped arcs can be their own shows if Disney does want to finish them. Son of Dathomir can be an amazing Darth maul tv show and can also not only add what is in the comic but what he did during the rise of the empire
I personally wanna see the Yuuzhan Vong brought back.
These all need done! I watched the Crystal Crisis and I know some of Son of Dathomir and Dark Disciple but Crystal Crisis was awesome and the others seem awesome too some amazing writing
I think some of these arcs could be completed through series like Tales of the Jedi.
Vuzhong Vong!!?!??!! That would be really cool!!!
I’m glad they made these into canon books like son of dathomir and dark disciple. Along with keeping the bounty hunters, kashyyyk, and keeping the entire utapau arc tho unfinished canon as well. The rest no longer fit in canon. They can’t go back to mon cala in canon because vader doesn’t recall a second time in the comics when he goes there. They can’t make the ahsoka one for obvious reasons. Same with the vong. The red one could be made but it’s pointless. But I think they should finish the ones that fit in canon or only have books.
The sad part for me is how close we were to getting the bounty hunter arc finished. If I remember correctly, during the marketing period for season 6 dave filoni stated this in an interview. He said bounty hunter arc was set to be completed for season 6 (the lost missions) but at some point they were told to stop working on it because it reportedly conflicted with some other project (possibly an early attempt at a live action series or spin off film) that eventually got canceled.
If Disney ever does a what if for Star Wars some of these stories can fit it to explain how the Jedi survived and the clones did not have their chips activated
I think the most likely outcome here is some of these arcs being adapted to future episodes of Tales or Bad Batch and maaaaaybee even some future live action projects.
My dream would be to get a Clone Wars Legacy Season - Dark Disciple/Saving Vos, Son of Dathomir, Crystal Crisis, Boba & Bane, and Bad Batch & Yoda. As well as remastering and releasing extended editions of The Clone Wars Film (or as 4 separate episodes) and series, along with a legacy project making episodes from Republic Heroes, Jedi Alliance, and if 2003 CW is not made canon again, several arcs that take place before the Battle of Christophsis and an arc for the ground Battle of Coruscant.
yep its ALL CONSIDERED CANON and they wouldnt retcon anything from the cancelled episodes... (except they saved Cad Bane and made him and Boba duel later in life and not have Boba win. And now they saved Ventress and put her in bad batch)
I agree with you about the arcs that need to be finished.
Spoiler alert: Ventress is alife
I would love to see the battle of coruscant as an story arc on a hypothetical 8th season of the clone wars.
GOD I WISH WE'D GET ALL tHESE
I think Son of Dathomir, Dark Disciple, A Crystal Crisis on Utapau, and all those other arcs should be either miniseries or Disney+ original films.
for the sith temple arc, you could swap anakin and obi-wan out for plo koon and maybe luminara unduli. lots of good dialogue to be had there.
Asajj Ventress fell in love with the Jedi didnt she? and she is also still alive.
#CompleteTheCloneWars
Definitely want to watch these unfinished arcs on Disney Plus!
They should have made the Boba Fett vs Cad Bane episode, instead of the Martez sisters.
i would love to see the sith shrine arc, personally i dont care if they contradict the novels or comics since they've done it before
i dont think we will get a son of dathomir or crystal heist adaptation sadly. however i would not be suprised at an adaptation of the boba and cad bane episodes as a tie in to the book of boba and a dark disciple adaptation as a tie into whatever they have planned for quinlin voss.
They can do them all at once if they make each arc a 90 minute episode and split Dark Disciple into two episodes which would total 10 episodes. They can also release Dark Disciple as an 8 episode mini series and do Son of Dathomir as a 4 episode mini series along with the Boba Fett, Kashyyyk and Sith Temple arcs or do them as movies or specials. They can also do Rex and R2 in Tales of the Jedi along with the Mon Cala and Yuuzhan Vong arcs. Crystal Crisis simply needs to be animated as is and then its done.
Absolute shame these were scraped, I doubt they will ever see the light of day
Clone Wars was a show that could run forever simply do to it jumping around the timeline
They could be made into feature films.
#completetheclonewars.
I just want them to leave Ventress and Mother Talzin alone. I think they would be great characters to show up in Ahsoka or The Mandalorian.
Maybe they'll finally be finished if Disney doesn't own Star Wars anymore and George Lucas regains the rights.
imagine this may 4th wen bad batch ends they announce to release em
If they wanna do the boba fett episodes, I think it'd be fun to see them as a tales of series, maybe a tales of the guild (bounty hunter)
A lot of people are starting to say Ahsoka’s a Mary Sue, and while I’m not a subscriber to such belief, her stopping sidious would not have been a good look and would only add fuel to the fire
For the Yuzhan Vong arc, they could simply swap them with the Grysks from the Thrawn Book and it would both still make sense for the show and introduce the Grysks to audiences for a probable appearence in the Mandoverse.
Here’s how I rank the arcs on a mixture of how much I like their ideas and their importance:
Son of Dathomir
Dark Disciple
Bounty Hunter Arc
Yuzong Vong
Return to the Jedi
Crystal Crisis of Utapau
Yoda and Bad Batch of Kashyyyk
Rex and R2
Return to Mon Cala
Like you said, some of these aren’t important and need to be reworked if made, but if some of them were to be made, the most important ones are Son of Dathomir and Dark Disciple because yeah, it is kinda weird to see Maul captured by Sidious and than a crime lord and there are those who don’t read comics or just don’t know about the comic, so it would be nice to see Maul get from points A to B in animated form, same goes Dark Disciple in literally seeing Ventress’ story finished. The Boba and Cad arc should be finished to with how they keep referencing it and even though it isn’t the conclusion of Cad Bane’s story, it would be nice to see the Clone Wars chapter of his story finished. They have rough animations of Cristal Crisis done, so I think it was weird they didn’t fully finish it and I think they should since it builds the road further towards the Death Star and the camp scene with Anakin and Obi-Wan is one of Clone Wars’ best scenes since they talk about Ashoka and the irony in Obi-Wan saying Anakin will never let him down. Yoda and Bad Batch arc, probably isn’t too need and we can just assume Yoda has good relationships with the Wookiees from some other time in the past, but it would be fun to have. Yeah, the Yuzong Vong arc doesn’t need to be finished, but it sounds like the most interesting one, so I’d want to see it probably the most out of these arcs.
While I‘d love to get them, I dont want them from Disney. Seeing how they censored and rewrote S7, I‘d rather not have them.
Well I could add son of Dathomir and Crystal Crisis On Utapau as part of my clone wars list of episodes even if they are a comic book and story reels
i honestly think they should finish those unfinished Episodes, at least some of them anyway.
Tales of the Jedi might explain some of these arc
Okay but I feel like we really gonna have those episodes about the Sith shrine under the Jedi Temple, like it's such a major thing that's just not really explored in any mainstream canon Star Wars media
I'd say it should probably be a solo Anakin episode with some temptation of the power the dark side could give him in a reason not to doubt Sidious's promise about cheating death in Episode III. It also has to be something that he wouldn't afterwards feel comfortable telling anyone, even Obi-Wan about to plant the seeds of why Anakin turns on Obi-Wan so quickly
what a shame these episodes never happened. i think disney is losing out on a lot of profit if they don’t release these. people adore the clone wars. to market these as something like “the lost episodes” would be wildly successful imo. people would definitely watch it, so i don’t understand why disney just won’t put the effort into them and finish these untold stories.
That arc with Ahsoka meeting with General Kenobi and Skywalker in Return to the Jedi Temple could be easily done as it is without any rewrite because all episodes of season 1 and season 2 have arcs that connect with each other and are out of chronological order. The pilot of Clone Wars is the end of the beginning of an arc in season 2. Everything can be done, Disney just will not let it happen, but I know that Dave Filoni is working to referencing them by respecting the canon of these never made arcs and I have faith that these arcs are coming back either as memories of characters or whole episode flashbacks.
Each of the longer episode arcs could easily be turned into made for tv disney plus original movies.
WHERE ARE THE ONES WITH JARJAR ON IT
Could've been the Happy ending edition 11:10
anyone has a link where i can watch the unfinished version of the bad batch arc?
A 2 hour animated movie of dark disciple would go hard
I don’t think the crystal crisis arc should be made. It being canon would mean Kenobi should know grievous might be on Utapau and therefore the republic spies mentioned in episode 3 reporting grievous being on utapau makes no sense. Like duh if he was on Utapau shortly before episode 3 ofc the jedi would start looking there?
I generally agree with this. However, the arc involving Grievous mining Kyber crystals on Utapau doesn’t make sense because if the Republic knew of a Separatist presence on Utapau before Episode 3, then the Republic and the Jedi would’ve fought to flush the Separatists out of Utapau before Episode 3 took place. At minimum, with knowledge of a Separatist presence on Utapau, the Republic and the Jedi would’ve searched their first and found Grievous sooner without any trouble.
It could be a case where there was a prior battle, and they had kicked out the Separatists. Yet when Grievous was on the run, he took his forces back and kept everyone quiet. Utapau remained neutral in the war so the Republic may have let them be afterwards. Or maybe despite any occupation there were still too many Separatist works Grievous could hide that didn’t make it an obvious first look. Not that your argument has any less validity, just other possibilities to consider.
They need to do the battle of Coruscant
We can only hope that the rest are finished one day
Maybe ahsoka could sneak in without Anakin and Obiwan. Her concerns being disregarded by the council. Which could further her reasoning for losing faith in the order like she talked about in season 7
That could work and would be cool
Just have it take place before she leaves the order
I feel like Star Wars The Clone Wars as a series IS over. Yes, there are these unfinished episodes, but the final season feels like them saying "here's what we could do for the finales. This is how the stories and the Clone Wars for these characters end."
However, if they were to released these unfinished episodes, it could maybe be part of a "Clone Wars" spinoff titled "Clone Wars Adventures" or something like that. That way, they don't make another season (going back on saying season 7 was the final season), and we can finally see these story arcs truly realised.
They could release all this call it tales of the clone wars and we’d all be happy lol
Tales of the clone wars
It’s such a shame. We’re missing so much of the late late Clone Wars in the show. We’d be so close to Episode III just not quite there. I would take full Clone Wars over Bad Batch any day, it’s mind boggling that they didn’t just finish the show that a generation already loved, especially when they made the “Final Season” on Disney+. The grand continuity Disney hypes up is a joke lol.
I want them so bad
Bro Is there any new update about ben 10?
I'm really sad about how disney ends clone wars. This is huge era of star wars and of my childhood and It really hurts when I realise how many great stories and ideas didn't take place on the screen. I really hope that Clone wars will return in a real complete edition, not onli 12 episodes of season like it has place. May the Force be with us!
If Disney does make any of this, keep Kathleen's hands out of it like she has the plague.
As much as I would love to see the complete 8 seasons of the show, I think that ship has sailed. The show shouldn't be canceled in the first place. And I don't care what they say, I think the main reason Disney canceled it was because it was on a rival network. Cartoon Network is owned by WB. They put out The Lost Missions on Netflix. The DVD/Blu-ray was done by Disney. And when they brought it back was on Disney +. And they had the opportunity to release all episodes but they didn't. I hope I'm wrong. Because I want to see all the episodes.
Let me see the rest of these arcs
they can put them in between season 5 and 6 since there isn't much time left to revenge of the sith with season 6
What could've been in Season 6 and 7 of the show #CompletetheCloneWars
Clone Wars Season 6
Son of Dathomir
Dark Disciple
Clone Wars Season 7
Crystal Crisis on Utapau
Bounty Hunter Arc
Bad Batch on Kashyyyk
These 5 arcs should've been made to connect and tie some plot points in the show that would've been so much better than the unnecessary arcs we got in Season 6 and 7.
We need a “adventures of the clone wars” series that’s just completing the production of these episodes
I doubt Clone Wars is gonna come back. But if it does, a few of the arcs could easily be removed. Some for canon purposes, and others because they could be done elsewhere. I mean, I would be fine with bonus special episodes of Book of Boba Fett where they redo the finale but work in some more bacta tank flashbacks but to Boba's past as a young child (or bring back Daniel Logan again and just make him a young adult), so that the final showdown between Boba and Cad has more stakes and emotional weight behind it. And then also just rework and retool a lot of the other stuff in the finale to fix the pacing of everything. And obviously give all the dialogue another pass to make it as refined as possible.
Now, do I think that's any more likely than another Clone Wars season? No. No I don't. But would I prefer that over the Bounty Hunter Arc being completed as part of a new Clone Wars season? Yes. Yes I would. Because that would make Book of Boba Fett better than any season of the Mandalorian. Its only problem is the finale episode and the underwhelming if not utterly disappointing resolution to the rest of the season. If the finale was good, then the whole season would be great in retrospect because the first 6 episodes are pretty damn good.
Coming in 2024, thankfully we got ventress' fate
i had no idea that there where that many unfinished episodes i thought it was like 5
maybe i was thinking 9 and maybe I'm also had confused arks with episodes
The animation studio that worked on Clone Wars reportedly shut down recently. :(
Star Wars needs a new form of bad guys the CIS were so unique as they used droids and I thought their contrast with the republics clones worked so well.
But Other than that it’s just Jedi vs Sith or the empire or some imperial remnant vs rebels or new republic it gets so repetitive so i personally would love that Yuuzahn Vong Arc to be completed as that would not only add a cool and very creepy arc but it would also add a new end game threat so different from the others using biological weapons instead of technology.
the planned season 7 was so much better than the season 7 that we got.
Final season of clone wars felt so rushed, both Bad Batch arc and Martez arc felt dragged on and kind of pointless imo. Really dissapointed we didnt get to see Grievous attack and kidnapping of Palpatine
it would have been cool in the Martez Sisters arc if we could see Fives talking to Anakin and Rex because that was during a similar place and time.
I dont get why disney didnt do all of these episodes. They could have gotten so much momey
It's so simple to just finish these amd release them as two twenty episode seasons
I just wish one day we can get these episodes finished as they were meant to be.
#CompleteTheCloneWars
Fans: fine we’ll do it ourselves
Not adapting Son of Dathomir and Dark Disciple is a crime
