Next month, a galaxy far, far away will arrive on Netflix.   On March 7th, all five seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series will be available to stream. Clone Wars tells the story of the galactic war which occurred between Star Wars: Episode II- Attack of the Clones, and Episode III- Revenge of the Sith. The show focused on Jedi Knights such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and padawan Ahsoka Tano.

The show previously aired on the Cartoon Network and was canceled last year following Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm before a new season could debut. In an interview with USA Today last spring, Clone Wars supervising director Dave Filoni stated that there were plans in the works to finish the unproduced episodes and answer the questions that fans have been meditating on during the show’s run.

“They’re just these concepts just hanging out there,” Filoni said, “and finally we’re going to deal with them.”

So have no fear my fellow padawans! The sixth season will be set to air as well as the director’s cut episodes and the feature film!  The 13-episode sixth season is called “The Lost Missions” and they will deal with the dramatic exit of Ahsoka Tano from the Jedi order. Another story arc will focus on Jedi Master Yoda (voiced by Tom Kane) and will dig even deeper into what the Jedi’s beliefs about the Force during the time of the Clone Wars-how it worked and the Jedi’s  relationship to its mysterious power.

In additon another character who was featured in Star Wars Episode 1- The Phantom Menace will reappear. The spirit of Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn- will visit Yoda.  Liam Neeson will reprise his role of the character.

“Without giving too much away, on one level you wonder why when Obi-Wan gets killed in (the original Star Wars film), he’s the one who vanishes,” Filoni said. “And then we see Yoda vanish when he dies (in Return of the Jedi). And yet in the prequels, none of the Jedi do that — why is that?”

Making Yoda the star of the story is a new direction from the other stories which have been told in the Clone Wars saga and featured new characters in addition to those from the films.

“We were always very careful about what we did with Yoda,” said Filoni, who is also an executive producer on the upcoming Star Wars Rebels animated series. “We never wanted to overuse him or put him in too many situations just because we had him, but we really felt that we finally had a story and a reason for him to be in it that was good enough to warrant bringing the little guy out.”

All of this was made possible in a deal struck by Disney, Lucasfilm, and Netflix on Thursday. Perhaps a Jedi mind trick was the solution?  This will mark the first time that Star Wars content has been available on Netflix. And it won’t be the last. Starting in 2016, the service will stream exclusively first-run live action and animated films from Lucasfilm, and other Disney properties such as Pixar and Marvel Studios.

In a statement, Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos had this to say about the announcement.

“Star 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.”

Oh you bet we will! May the force be with you my fellow geeks in arms!
