“Star Wars: Clone Wars” was an uneven series. But at its best, it was really good. It was a fully CGI animated half-hour show set between “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith,” focusing mostly on Obi Wan and Anakin, but often going rather far and wide. It saw the return of Darth Maul… yes, the feller what who got lopped in twain. And what was really good about *that* was that Maul wasn’t fine. He didn’t just shake it off and get over it; he was a rather terrifying whackadoodle of a mess. The series was cruising along well… and then Lucasfilm sold out to Disney. Disney decided to take Star Wars in a different direction and summarily cancelled “Clone Wars,” leaving a lot of plots unfinished. Disney did follow up “Clone Wars” with “Rebels,” which started off uneven and then ended up a really rather remarkable show, not least because “Rebels” showed quite clearly that the SJWs who argue that the only reason why anybody didn’t like Admiral Holdo in “The Last Jedi” was because they just don’t like strong women. “Rebels” had a number of female characters ho were so much better than Holdo it’s not even remotely funny. But “Rebels” was not the ending of “Clone Wars” that fans of the show wanted.

Looks like they’re finally going to get it, though.
