'Borrowed' from one of the TV newsgroups ...
"Star Wars: The Clone Wars" Gets New Life on Netflix
----------------------------------------------------
Netflix is bringing new life to Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
The sixth and final 13-episode season of the canceled
Cartoon Network series will debut March 7 on the online
streamer. Netflix will also make the first five seasons of
the series to audiences. Several director's cut episodes
that did not air on television will also be available.
"Stars Wars is one of the most iconic franchises of all
time and this series joins a long line of Disney content
that Netflix members are and will continue to enjoy for
years to come," said Ted Sarandos, Netflix chief content
officer. "The Clone Wars marks an important moment as
Netflix welcomes more and more first-run content from
The Walt Disney Company and its subsidiaries."
This will be the first time that Netflix has streamed
Star Wars content. The deal follows the announcement that
Netflix had struck a deal with Disney to bring several
original series based on Marvel characters to the
platform by 2015. Netflix will also exclusively
stream Disney titles beginning in 2016.
Clone Wars launched on Cartoon Network in 2008 and was a
top performer on the cable network. The animated show's
fifth season, which ended during last March, averaged
1.7 million total viewers.
Lucasfilm, which was purchased by Disney in October 2012,
canceled the show after the fifth season finale.
The series takes place during the same time period as
the Star Wars films Attack of the Clones and Attack of
the Sith. The final season will reveal some of the
biggest mysteries behind the conflict between the light
and the dark sides of the Force.
