Animated US series Star Wars: Clone Wars is no more after Lucasfilm announced that the fifth season was the last.
“As we enter into an exciting new era focused on the next Star Wars trilogy, Lucasfilm has decided to pursue a new direction in animated programming,” the company wrote on its website.
“We are exploring a whole new Star Wars series set in a time period previously untouched in Star Wars films or television programming. You can expect more details in the months to come.
“After five highly successful and critically acclaimed seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, we feel the time has come to wind down the series,” the statement continued.
“While the studio is no longer producing new episodes for Cartoon Network, we’re continuing production on new Clone Wars story arcs that promise to be some of the most thrilling adventures ever seen. Stay tuned for more information on where fans can soon find this bonus content.”
The Hollywood Reporter claims Lucasfilm has also decided to postpone Star Wars: Detours, an animated series from Seth Green, Todd Grimes and Matthew Senreich (Robot Chicken).
Series 5 is yet to air on ABC3.

Ouch for Matt Lanter 2013 isnt turning out real great for him goes from having 2 jobs to having none!
Damn. All it needed was one more season, even half a season, to bridge the gap. Now apparently those episodes will be only available on DVD or online. Ugh.
Screw you Disney.
