Speculation Time: Why These Episodes?
Out of 121 Clone Wars episodes, Disney+ chose these 20 as the most essential for understanding the upcoming final season. But why? We need to look at the events and characters on which these episodes focus. By that, we can deduce that the final season will bring Mandalore back into the spotlight. Maul will fall from power. We will see how our favorite clone troopers handle the end of the war, and we will see former-padawan Ahsoka start to develop her post-Jedi role.
Season 7 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars begins streaming on Disney+ February 17, 2020.
