Reportedly the unaired episodes of "The Clone Wars" series will be
released as a comic book (possibly in addition to other formats). This
is from Newsarama (via ComingSoon.net) ...
The ending of Star Wars' Clone Wars is shrouded in
mystery, both in-story and in real life. In March
2013 Lucasfilm announced that the long-running
animated series "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" would
be cut short, robbing fans of the intended finale
of that CGI series. Since then, various personnel
at Lucasfilm have talked about potential outlets
the final episodes' story could be told, either as
televised episodes, online content, or possibly a
DVD release. But now in an exclusive to Newsarama,
Lucasfilm has told us the finale to "Star Wars:
The Clone Wars" is being told as a comic launching
this May. This doesn't preclude the fully produced
episodes from still airing somehow, but does let
fans jump right to the ending and the unproduced
final arc.
In this last year of Lucasfilm's epic decades-long
partnership with Dark Horse Comics, the
Oregon-based publisher will be releasing a
four-part limited series titled "Darth Maul: Son
of Dathomir" that will adapt the screenplays for
what would have been the series finale of "Star
Wars: The Clone Wars" animated series. Written by
seasoned Star Wars comics scribe (and former
editor) Jeremy Barlow with an artist to be
announced, "Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir" sees the
full-scale return of Darth Maul to the Star Wars
universe and into a head-to-head battle with his
former master Darth Sidious aka, the Emperor.
Barlow promises to fully delve into the world of
Dathomir, as well as some of its inhabitants like
Nightbrothers and even a new character called
Brother Viscus. Barlow spoke exclusively to
Newsarama in our "Galaxy Far Away" Star Wars
column.
