The conclusion to Star Wars: The Clone Wars will finally be revealed in the seventh and final season of the highly-anticipated animated series. The show debuted in 2008 and was canceled in 2013, so fans have pretty much known George Lucas' plans for the Bad Batch for a while. Now, it's finally here and will also fulfill the franchise creator's legacy.
Dee Bradley Baker, who voiced all the clones for the show, spoke with CinemaBlend to talk about the final season and the series' legacy. "It's notable for humanizing and breathing a lot of specificity into the lives of the clones and really upping the stakes and filling out the stakes of the entire conflict that was The Clone Wars," he said. "Ultimately for my money, this is the fulfillment and the last direct involvement of George Lucas with his original brilliant creation."
Baker says he finds it so "remarkable" that the show "still lives and grows" even far beyond" to what it started as. "And it started with a boom! I remember it," he added. "But that it's gone so far and so much further and in so many wonderful ways, and that it's wonderful that George Lucas' direct involvement now comes to final fruition here with The Clone Wars' final season."
He thinks Lucas wasn't "directly involved" with the creation, but Dave Filoni was his right-hand man. "The Bad Batch arc, for instance, that the final season starts with, that was created when George Lucas was still involved directly, hands-on with The Clone Wars," he added.
What the fans and the world will be seeing is the "final fruition" of that "direct involvement" in Lucas' original creation and Dave's "stewardship." Baker teases that it will be a "very unique finishing moment," not just to the story, but also to Lucas' legacy.
