A spin-off TV series featuring a group of Younglings as the protagonists was originally conceived during the development of the fifth season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. However, it was cancelled during the season's production.
Development[]
During the development of the fifth season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the writers pitched an idea for a potential spin-off TV series featuring Young Padawans in the lead roles. A pilot episode was written, but at the end, the project was scrapped and the writers decided to use some ideas of the cancelled show for the Younglings story-arc of the fifth season, which was filled with the episodes "The Gathering", "A Test of Strength," "Bound for Rescue" and "A Necessary Bond."[1]
In November 2016, one month before the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Pablo Hidalgo revealed via Cinemablend that the planned spin-off was the last Star Wars project which George Lucas worked on before selling Lucasfilm Ltd. to The Walt Disney Company in 2012.[1]
