Get Hyped for The Siege of Mandalore in The Clone Wars’ Finale TV Spot

The Clone Wars has been around since 2008 and been killed off and revived almost as many times as Emperor Palpatine at this point, but the next four episode of the show now airing on Disney+ are its actual, grand finale. The final episodes will deal with the fabled Siege of Mandalore, an event teased and hinted at for years since the show’s initial cancellation, which will see Ahsoka helping the Mandalorians rid themselves of the ever pesky Maul. The arc will find Ahsoka interacting with Anakin and other Jedi for the first time since she left the Order, and will overlap with Revenge of the Sith, meaning the Siege will go even more sideways when Order 66 gets thrown in the mix. The trailer above gives me goosebumps, as while the animation has seen an upgrade in these final episode, it looks like they saved every ounce of the budget for the final four episodes, while the character moments promise to hit all the right emotional beats. The first episode, “Old Friends Not Forgotten” airs April 17, and expect a review for it on Mynock Manor sometime that evening. In the meantime, head below for the rest of our reviews for the final season of The Clone Wars, if you can tear your eyes away from the trailer of course!
