The planned
Obi-Wan Kenobi series may have been put on hold, but as
showcased in the recent trailer, Lucasfilm and Disney+ will still be bringing fans a major piece of
Star Wars content with the highly anticipated return of
Star Wars: The Clone Wars next month.
While many fans are likely aware that the upcoming final season of the animated series will feature storylines such as the Siege of Mandalore, there has been little information on when specific story arcs would occur during season 7.
Fortunately, thanks to recently released synopses for the first two episodes of the final season, we now know which storyline will kick off the show’s final outing.
Per the synopses, the first two installments will be titled
"The Bad Batch" and
"A Distant Echo" and will see Clone Force 99, a squad of clones with genetic mutations that set them apart from their kin, make their grand debut.
