Disney continued to show off their impressive line up of titles that will be available exclusively on their subscription-based streaming service, Disney+. Investors got to see a small glimpse and learn some details about some of the upcoming Star Wars titles that will appear on the service later this November. More on all of this here below.

Created by Star Wars creator George Lucas, the animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars first debuted back in 2008. It ran for five seasons on Cartoon Network until 2013, and ended with a sixth season known as “The Lost Missions” on Netflix in 2014.

At San Diego Comic-Con 2018, however, the show was resurrected. Dave Filoni—who developed, wrote, and was the supervising director on Clone Wars; created its successor Star Wars Rebels and the upcoming Star Wars Resistance; and is someone many fans strongly believe should be creatively involved in helping to make upcoming Star Wars movies—announced during a 10th anniversary celebration for the show that The Clone Wars is coming back.

See what Filoni had to say about the big news below, along with a trailer for the show’s return and a poster.

For this week’s edition of The Digital Wire we’ve got a slim selection of offbeat titles from the film and television domains, including one influential horror classic. Below you’ll find info on several future home video releases complete with technical specs, release dates, and links to pre-order at Amazon. We would greatly appreciate it if you use those links to order because a small percentage of each order helps keep this website running at max power. The cover art for certain titles has yet to be finalized.

The Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated saga comes to a close with thirteen new episodes, dubbed The Lost Missions, which will debut via Netflix instant streaming next month. Ahead of these final episodes, Netflix and Lucasfilm have released a trailer to highlight what is to come.

The trailer offers a glimpse into the various story arcs of The Lost Missions including Yoda communing with Qui-Gon Jinn (voiced by Liam Neeson, who portrayed the Jedi in The Phantom Menace) and is sent on a journey to Degobah. Additionally, Jedi Master Plo Koon discovers Sifo-Dyas’ lightsaber and a clue to the creation of the clone army, Count Dooku looks to protect the secret of Order 66 and Anakin Skywalker rescues Padmé Amidala.

Almost a year ago it was announced that the popular Cartoon Network animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars was being cancelled, and that a new animated series was being planned. The new series was later revealed as Star Wars Rebels, which will begin airing on Disney XD in the fall of this year (watch the teaser trailer here).

It seemed as if we had heard the last of The Clone Wars, but not so fast. Out of nowhere, it has been announced that a sixth and final season of the series is still on the way.

Just recently we heard that Tim Curry was joining the cast of Cartoon Network’s animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. But alas, things often change…and change quickly.

Lucasfilm has announced that their acquisition by Disney and the focus on the new trilogy of movies starting with Star Wars Episode VII has led them to the decision that they will no longer be producing new episodes of The Clone Wars for Cartoon Network. They are, however, working on a brand new animated series that will be set in uncharted waters.

Continue on below now for more and to see a video with Clone Wars supervising director Dave Filoni talking about the decision and what’s next.

Tim Curry, the star of such movies as Ridley Scott’s Legend, Stephen King’s It, Clue, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, has officially joined the cast of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Curry takes over the role of Chancellor Palpatine/Darth Sidious after the passing of the role’s previous voice actor, Ian Abercrombie, over a year ago.

You can check out a clip of Curry as Palpatine below.

During last weekend’s New York Comic-Con, Geeks of Doom got a chance to chat with Ashley Eckstein, star of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series and founder of Her-universe, a line of merchandise geared towards female sci-fan fans.

Eckstein took some time out of her busy schedule to give us some one-on-one screen time to discuss the creation of Her-Universe and the future of the company, which includes a deal with Disney Parks, as well as how she fared on a certain old school game show. She also dished on what’s happening in Season 4 of Clone Wars and what’s going on with her character.

Watch the 6-minute video interview here below.

Liam Neeson will reprise his role as Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn in upcoming episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars on Cartoon Network. In a new 3-part story arc set to begin on January 28, Jinn will appear before Obi-Wan Kenobi in visions that focus on the destiny of the Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker.

In an interview with EW, Neeson talked about why he wanted to return to the Star Wars saga: “These characters resonate, even after all these years. Growing up, my heroes were cowboys; they were strong and mysterious, and it seemed like they always rode off into the sunset. For kids today, Star Wars has that same kind of magic. I really wanted to be a part of that.”
