In 2008, George Lucas and Dave Filoni opened up the world of Star Wars like it had never been done before by telling stories that stem directly from The Clone Wars that were first mentioned in the original Star Wars film in 1977. In 2005, fans finally got a glimpse of the clones, but the war was completely glossed over. For just over five years, the story was fleshed out in a 3D animated series “The Clone Wars.” Now, we are awaiting the next chapter of these wars when they air on Disney+ in February 2020. The galaxy will be watching. Following the epic season five saga that saw Darth Maul's rise, command of Mandalore, and fall against Darth Sidious, "Son of Dathomir" is a limited comic book run that sees Darth Maul on the run from Sidious, Grievous and Count Dooku. We see the end of Mother Talzin and watch as Maul becomes a crime lord working in the shadows. This leads up to "Solo: A Star Wars Story." "Dark Disciple" is another batch of episodes that didn't get to see the light. However, it feels very natural to have this story told in book form. Asaj Ventress has fallen from Count Dooku's grace and when she is hired by the Jedi Order to take part in an assassination attempt towards Dooku, However, this story sees Ventress fall in love and brings her story to a close. Still, I hope we see at least a cameo from Ventress in season seven. "Ahsoka" is set after the fall of the republic and deals with Ahsoka on the run from the empire. She grieves the fallen Jedi and eventually becomes essential to the rise of The Rebellion. The prelude of this novel is set during the Siege of Mandalore which we expect to see in its full form in February when Ahsoka returns to "The Clone Wars." "Thrawn: Alliances" is the sequel in a trilogy of Thrawn novels by Timothy Zahn. While half of this novel takes place during the height of The Empire, the half has Anakin, Padme and Thrawn on a mission at the edge of the galaxy, Batuu. This does well at connecting "The Clone Wars" and "Star Wars: Rebels." Disney+ launches in the United States on November 12, 2019. The final season of “The Clone Wars” airs February 2020. May the Force be with you, always.
