The Clone Wars Legacy

"Even though those Clone Wars episodes did not get publicly revealed, we still look at their core stories as having happened."

- Pablo Hidalgo

The Clone Wars Legacy is a canon multimedia project that continues the story of the animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The Clone Wars Legacy includes the comic mini-series Star Wars: Darth Maul—Son of Dathomir, eight TV story reels, the novel Dark Disciple, and other possible future storylines, all of which would have been episodes of the series had it not been cancelled.

Development
Although it had not yet been branded as The Clone Wars Legacy, the first story of the series was announced on January 7, 2014 as the comic mini-series Star Wars: Darth Maul—Son of Dathomir. The second story, the novel Dark Disciple, was announced at San Diego Comic-Con on July 25, 2014. StarWars.com officially revealed the brand name, The Clone Wars Legacy, on September 25, 2014, at which time the four-episode "Crystal Crisis on Utapau" arc was released online in the form of animated story reels.

On April 9, 2015, StarWars.com announced that another unfinished, four-episode story arc, "Bad Batch," would be screened in story reel form at Celebration Anaheim. The arc's writer, Brent Friedman, previously released a good amount of information on the episodes via his Twitter account.
