A promo for the final four episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars teases two things Star Wars fans have been waiting for: the duel between Ahsoka Tano and Darth Maul, along with the Siege of Mandalore.
The promo's runtime is one minute, but those 60 seconds pack a great deal in its footage. It begins with Ahsoka being reunited with the 332nd Clone Trooper squadron, which was a group of clone troopers who were formerly under her leadership. Next, we see preparation for the Siege of Mandalore as Darth Maul's voice speaks in the background.
The Siege of Mandalore is one of the most highly-anticipated stories in Star Wars history, with fans waiting to see how it will play out in Season 7 of Clone Wars. The story arc is one of the final major battles of the Clone Wars and the event that simultaneously drove Darth Maul further into hiding. It also explains how Ahsoka Tano survived the initial Jedi Purge. As an event that devastated Mandalore in an epic battle for control of the planet, it is a conflict that has loomed heavily with Mandalorian society for decades following its end.
Streaming on Disney+, the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars stars Matt Lanter as Anakin Skywalker, Ashley Eckstein as Ahsoka Tano, Dee Bradley Baker as Captain Rex and the clone troopers, James Arnold Taylor as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan and Sam Witwer as Maul. A new episode arrives each Friday.
