10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Didn't Know About Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Despite its popularity on Cartoon Network, The Clone Wars was cancelled mid-way through Season Six after being purchased by Disney. Although Disney brought the show back for a seventh and final season on its new streaming service, the season was shortened and many key arcs and storylines were left unresolved.

Two key arcs have been made into successful and well-reviewed novels and comics, but would definitely have been better suited to the show. For example, the comic "Son of Dathomir" detailed a four-episode arc which would have seen Darth Maul kidnapped and tortured by Darth Sidious following the death of Savage Opress. The whole story would have been epic and a great piece of fan service, pitting Maul against both Dooku and Grievous.

That's not the arc we long for the most, however, as on the show Asajj Ventress is robbed of the chance to have her story end on a satisfactory high. In an epic eight-episode arc the former assassin would have sought forgiveness from the Jedi Council and joined forces with eccentric Jedi Quinlan Vos in a bid to kill Count Dooku.

These stories and more - including Ahsoka investigating a Sith shrine below the Jedi Temple - would have been an excellent edition to the series, and would've added further gravitas to characters we had grown to root for. The fact that Ventress didn't get her on-screen finale is unfortunate, and is one tale we certainly wish we had got to see.

At least we got to meet the Bad Batch...
