Star Wars: The Clone Wars - The Questions We Need Answered
"I'd like to make clear that this storyline does not represent The Clone Wars series finale," Filoni wrote. "I've seen some confusion about that online and want to set the record straight. There are additional Clone Wars episodes on the way and one arc in particular marks the series finale in my mind. We'll have fun discussing that in the not too distant future."As for Son of Dathomir, Filoni continued, "The story of Darth Maul had become an important one for the series and it was only fitting that we chose him for a comic adaptation. The comics will be based on four finished scripts that were written for Season 6 . These scripts came out of one of our story conferences with George Lucas.
"As they moved through the production pipeline, they became finalized scripts with a great deal of the actual design work completed. The designs you will see, the plot lines, and character development in these comic books are all coming directly from the TV production. I turned over all of the art to Dark Horse so they could create an accurate representation of what we were planning for the show."
