Well Clone Wars fans, your wait is over: StarWars.com announced this morning that The Clone Wars will be streaming on Netflix as of March 7, including the debut of “the sixth and final season.” It’s the first time any official Star Wars content will be available on the service.
“The Lost Missions” are 13 episodes, and for the previous seasons they’ll be have “several director’s cut episodes never seen on TV” as well as the debut movie. The episode description does line up with the arcs we’ve heard about out of Germany:
In these eagerly anticipated episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, some of the deepest mysteries of the conflict between the light and the dark sides of the Force are revealed. An intrepid clone trooper discovers a shocking secret, Anakin Skywalker’s closest relationship is tested to its limits, and what Master Yoda discovers while investigating the disappearance of a Jedi could forever change the balance of power in the galaxy. Fans will not only be able to watch the thrilling finale, they’ll be able to see more of Star Wars: The Clone Wars than ever before as Netflix will also stream the director’s cut of seasons one to five.
Netflix posted a clip featuring Yoda and Qui-Gon:
If you don’t have Netflix streaming, Jeremy Conrad at Furious Fanboys has five options you can look into.
In the meantime, fans can psych themselves up by listening to some of the show’s music on composer Kevin Kiner’s site.

Has anyone heard any information/hints about when audiences in the UK will be able to watch season 6?

I guess the big question now is, will they be in air order or chronological order?

W00t! I’m so excited it’s coming to netflix, since I don’t have cable. And thirteen eps was more than I was expecting we’d get.

Jesse, I presumed they’d all become available at once… so you can watch ‘em in whatever order you want. Am I wrong?

Stooge – Netflix puts them up all at the same time, so you can watch them however you want. I’m just curious how they are going to have them listed: by air date or chronologically. I think chronologically would make it easier for new viewers who decide to start with the first episode listed and make their way through, but I have a feeling they may be grouped the same way as on the DVDs, which is by air date.

I don’t think they’ll be chronological on Netflix, but I do hope if/when there’s a complete Bluray set that includes the new episodes that they might rearrange them for us.

I wonder if the film will be included.
