Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 5

Edit

"Some of the characters that we have created for the show will meet their destinies."
―Dave Filoni[src]

The fifth season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars consists of twenty episodes. It debuted with "Revival" on September 29, 2012 on Cartoon Network, and concluded with "The Wrong Jedi" on March 2, 2013.

Premise[]

The galaxy's conflicts reach critical levels of danger as the shadow of the Dark Side looms. A Rebellion is born as freedom fighters battle for justice on the Separatist-held planet of Onderon. A group of Jedi younglings' new strengths are tested by pirates. Seeking revenge, the ruthless Darth Maul comes face to face with Obi-Wan Kenobi. Ahsoka Tano's loyalty to the Jedi is challenged when she must prove her innocence for a crime she didn't commit.

Production[]

While it was thought by many, including Hasbro, that this would be the final season of The Clone Wars, Dave Filoni stated multiple times that scripts and designs for Season 6 were in development. While The Clone Wars was canceled after this season, four individual arcs of the following season were finished and released.

Release[]

The fifth season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars debuted with "Revival" on September 29, 2012 on Cartoon Network, followed by weekly airings occurring on Saturdays. It went on mid-season break after "A Sunny Day in the Void" on December 8, 2012.

The season returned with "Missing in Action" on January 5, 2013. It concluded with "The Wrong Jedi" on March 2, 2013.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Celebrates 100 Episodes[]

Behind the scenes[]

"There’s a lot of payoff coming. I think people are going to see ways ‘The Clone Wars’ ties together more and more with ‘A New Hope.’ We’re setting up elements that eventually become the Empire."
―Dave Filoni[src]
  • Hasbro's Join the Jedi website held a contest in late 2011 in which fans could upload a video of themselves showing off their "best lightsaber move". The winning move—Petro's "Whirlwind of Destiny"—made an appearance in the episode, "A Test of Strength".
  • In the trivia gallery for Deception, a comment states: "This will not be the last time you see the two working together..." referring to Cad Bane and Boba Fett's collaborative efforts to break out of the Republic Detention Center. This originally implied that the two would make appearances in Season 5 until Dave Filoni confirmed at Comic-Con that Fett would not be in the season.
  • Season 5 was the first season that did not feature an hour-long season premiere due to its new timeslot.
  • The titles of the last four episodes of Season 5 were all based on Alfred Hitchcock movies.
  • Season 5's order of episodes was changed frequently as it progressed. The magazine, Star Wars Insider, issue 137, listed the original order through episode 15, which was later revised. In addition, the story arc pertaining to Rush Clovis was moved to the following season.
