Before 'Ahsoka,' 'The Clone Wars' almost had a very different spinoff.
Even though the 2008 feature film Star Wars: The Clone Wars was a critical and financial disaster for the Star Wars franchise, Dave Filoni’s animated television series had become increasingly critical to the success of the galaxy far, far away, and continues to play an important role in its future.
Although the younglings’ adventures initially start off as a routine training assignment, the stakes get more critical when Ahsoka is kidnapped by the Weequay pirate Hondo Ohnaka, a regular villain within the series. The younglings prove their merit as Jedi as they rescue Ahsoka and help defend Hondo from an attack by General Grievous and Count Dooku.
Why Was 'Young Jedi' Cancelled? Although the four-part storyline successfully established the younger characters, it felt like an odd tonal shift compared to the rest of the episodes in The Clone Wars’ fifth season. In a season that focused on darker storylines like Darth Maul’s invasion of Mandalore and the Jedi Order’s persecution of Ahsoka, a storyline centered on prepubescent Jedi heroes felt particularly light-hearted.
