Michnovetz discussing The Clone Wars Legacy
Matt Michnovetz was the head writer for the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series' sixth and seventh seasons.[1] He wrote the episodes "The Citadel," "Counterattack," "Citadel Rescue," "Darkness on Umbara," "The General," "Plan of Dissent," and "Carnage of Krell."[2] He wrote a four-episode arc about Cad Bane and Boba Fett,[3] and another four-episode arc with the Bad Batch and Yoda on Kashyyyk, which was not finished before the series' cancellation.[4] Additionally, Michnovetz co-wrote a four-episode arc alongside Aïda Mashaka Croal that featured Maul, which, due to the show's cancellation, was not completed either. However, it was instead adapted into a four-issue comic book by Jeremy Barlow, entitled Star Wars: Darth Maul—Son of Dathomir.[5]
Michnovetz also started working for LucasArts in 2008, and did some work on the canceled game Star Wars: 1313.[6]
Michnovetz also wrote several episodes of Star Wars Rebels beginning in its second season, with his first episode being "The Lost Commanders."[7] He also wrote the story of the 2019 video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order together with Aaron Contreras and Stig Asmussen. The team was nominated for the 16th British Academy Games Awards in the category "Narrative."[8]
He is currently the story editor and a staff writer of the Disney+ show Star Wars: The Bad Batch.[9]
