Save The Clone Wars and Rebels Article at The Daily Dot

Yesterday, as Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 5 and the Seasons 1 to 5 Set hit stores, The DailyDot.com posted an article "Is the 'Save The Clone Wars' campaign ready to embrace 'Star Wars: Rebels'?"  I think is a good article about Save The Clone Wars and the upcoming Star Wars Rebels.

When the article was first published, it referred to me as the "creator of the Save The Clone Wars Internet campaign." This is not the case. I started SaveTheCloneWars.com, its Facebook page, and its Twitter account, but if anyone is the creator of the Save The Clone Wars campaign that was Jimmy Mac from RebelForce Radio. He sounded the alarm, and he was the first, that I am aware of, to encourage fans to write to Disney and LucasFilm to Save The Clone Wars.

[Update] The DailyDot.com updated the article and reworded the above phrase, which I felt was inaccurate.

Remaining Star Wars: The Clone Wars Episodes Coming Early 2014

Dave Filoni just shared on his Facebook page that they have completed the remaining Star Wars: The Clone Wars episodes, and they will be released in early 2014.

His message still does not address how the episodes will be released or how many episodes will be released.  Previously, LucasFilm has released three video clips showing a clone killing a Jedi, Master Plo Koon and the wolf pack finding a light saber on a snowy planet, and Anakin helping Yoda escape the Jedi temple.

Dave Filoni shared the following on his Facebook page:

Star Wars fans - I have some exciting news! We have wrapped production on all of the remaining Star Wars: The Clone Wars episodes, and while that might be sad news in one way, it's good news in another. It means you will finally get to see them. When, exactly, is a detail I cannot yet share. I can confirm that in early 2014 you will be watching the final episodes of The Clone Wars, including one of Master Yoda's most challenging missions. So, get ready. We've got Clone Wars and Rebels coming at you in 2014. Animated Star Wars is alive and well. Trust in the Force my friends.
- Dave
