In March 2013 following the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney the series was cancelled. The unreleased episodes that had already been produced were referred to at the time as "bonus content".[2][3] The German television network Super RTL began to air these episodes as a sixth season, which consisted of 13 episodes in February 2014.[4][5][6][7] Season 6, along with the other seasons and the feature film, were made available on Netflix on March 7 the same year.[8] The series returned with 12 new episodes on Disney+,[9] serving as the seventh and final season. It premiered February 21, 2020. During the course of the series, 133 episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars were released over seven seasons, between October 3, 2008, and May 4, 2020.

The premiere episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars aired on October 3, 2008, and set a new record with Cartoon Network as their most-watched series premiere, attracting 3.992 million total viewers.[10][11] The season finale, "Hostage Crisis", was broadcast on March 20, 2009, and the original broadcast received 3.297 million viewers.[12] Season 1 depicted the attempts of the Republic and the Separatists to gain the allegiance of many planets and moons.
The season three premiere, consisting of "Clone Cadets" and "ARC Troopers", was broadcast on September 17, 2010, attracting 2.42 million viewers. These episodes, and certain others in this season, cover events from previous seasons. Episodes 21 and 22 were released in the UK before airing in the US.

Unlike the first four seasons, the episodes of the fifth season were released to DVD and Blu-ray in chronological order as opposed to broadcast order.
While the series is designed to be an anthology of both standalone episodes and small story arcs, various events throughout inform stories, characters, and relationships to create a recognizably continuous narrative. In recognition of the release of the complete series on Netflix, StarWars.com released the official chronological episode order for the first six seasons on March 17, 2014; this was later updated to include links to the episodes on Disney+.[100] Regarding the seventh and final season, StarWars.com revealed that episodes five through eight are set before the season premiere "The Bad Batch".[101][100]
At the time of cancellation in March 2013, there were still many episodes in development. Thirteen of these episodes were finished to become part of Season 6: The Lost Missions but there were still additional arcs that were never released. Lucasfilm released details of multiple story arcs from the unfinished episodes in September 2014.[102] The Bad Batch was eventually completed and aired as the first arc of season 7.
The plot follows Darth Maul, who was captured by Darth Sidious at the end of the season 5 episode "The Lawless". He is tortured by Count Dooku for information about the Shadow Collective and the allies Maul has made. Maul escapes and heads to Zanbar to command the Death Watch army, but is followed by General Grievous and his droids. They battle Maul and the Mandalorians, who are soon overwhelmed by the droids. Maul flees and confers with Mother Talzin, who is revealed to be his biological mother, and plots to draw out Sidious by capturing Dooku and Grievous. The scheme works, and Talzin is able to restore herself to her physical form, but sacrifices herself to save Maul and is killed by Grievous. Although Maul escapes with a company of loyal Mandalorians, the Shadow Collective has fallen apart due to the conflict with Sidious, as the Hutts, Pykes, and Black Sun have all abandoned Maul.
The story reels for this four-episode arc were screened on April 17, 2015, at Star Wars Celebration Anaheim, and were later released on the official Star Wars website on April 29.[99] Scripted by Brent Friedman, the four episodes were later completed and aired as the first arc of season 7 (with some changes from the original story reels).[111] A spin-off sequel series titled Star Wars: The Bad Batch was announced in 2020; it follows the titular group of clones working as mercenaries in the immediate aftermath of the Clone Wars.[112]
My kids are 18 and 16 now and while I let them play whatever they want - even the most realistic video game graphics are still not real people - I still discuss w/ my wife what we let our 16 year old watch live action. Should have discussed it before season 3 of the Castlevania anime, things got a bit adult. ?
Our oldest binge watched Game of Thrones with us when season 8 was released so they've pretty much seen it all at this point. We discussed if we should let the 16 year old watch The Witcher with us on NF - still haven't - but my wife said yes. That may be our last conversation for anything for our kids, gotta grow up sometime. 2ff7e9595c
