Just a short time to go until we journey back to a galaxy far, far away.Walt Disney Pictures have just released the first full preview of the imminent sixth season of Lucasfilm's science-fiction animation Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Going under the collective name The Lost Missions, the final series will depict the concluding days of the titular fictional conflict, as Jedi Master Yoda ventures to the homeworld of the Sith to discover the truth behind a hidden galactic mystery which threatens to change his Order forever.
In case you missed the news when it first emerged, this batch of long-awaited sci-fi romps will début exclusively on Netflix next month. The only potential issue, as ever, is that in crafting storylines which come in such close proximity to the events of 2005's hit franchise finale Revenge of the Sith, the writing team risk having to actively avoid the narrative territory of the Battle of Coruscant and (naturally) Order 66. Indeed, though the video (below) teases at least one mention of 'Protocol 66' from Darth Sidious to Count Dooku, the former Sith Lord's emphasis on the Jedi Order's ignorance of this hidden protocol in the Clone Army's genetic make-up implies that the Order as a whole will remain blissfully unaware of events to come, as is only right in continuity terms (and boy, can the Star Wars fandom become riled up at even the slightest alteration to the established timeline).
Star Wars: The Clone Wars- The Lost Missions premières via Netflix along with the feature-length movie pilot and the first five seasons of the show on March 7th.
