Star Wars: The Clone Wars is George Lucas' final contribution to the beloved franchise, with the last episode of Season 7 marking the end of an era for Star Wars. Fans have been loving the episodes and are looking forward to the finale, and it looks like Lucas himself is pleased with the episodes too.

Sam Witwer, who voices Darth Maul in Clone Wars, talked about Lucas' comments in a recent interview with Star Wars Holocron. "George has been calling Dave [Filoni] and giving him nice little comments on the episodes," the actor says. "I really, really hope we get some positive feedback from the maker himself when this comes out. This show has such a special place in George's heart."

Witwer pointed out how Lucas was "so happy" making the show and that they feel the same in being able to implement it for him. "You really did just get a directive from George, and that directive got discussed and translated by Dave Filoni," he added. "And then it went right to the actors, animators, lighters, everything. It just got done."

The actor said the "fun" in watching the Siege of Mandalore is that it "feels pure in its intention." Witwer thinks it's "so cool" for the Clone Wars to be Lucas' last produced project in the franchise, "that has George's fingerprints on it."

"I truly loved to hear that George was reacting well to [the final season of The Clone Wars]," he revealed. "And I'm happy to hear that he likes how Clone Wars is going so far this season and I really hope he likes our finale because that's where it all counts."

While this is Lucas' last direct involvement, the franchise always owes its existence to its creator. Lucas' A New Hope started the Skywalker Saga, which has recently been wrapped up with J.J. Abrams' The Rise of Skywalker.

New episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars get released every Friday on Disney+. The finale episode will arrive on May 4th.
