Star Wars: Rouge Troopers (Animated TV Series)

After the enormous success of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, George Lucas was extremely interested in carrying on one of the new characters of the Clone Wars into the time when the Empire ruled the galaxy. At first, Lucas planned on returning to the character Ahsoka, but felt that he wanted to go down a path which would follow a clone instead. Working with Disney, Lucas decided to create a series focussing on clone CT-7567, a.k.a Rex. Rex was shown no longer leading his regiment in the Clone Wars, and this series carries on with the idea of him leaving their establishment by rebelling against the establishment. The show also features famous characters such as Darth Vader, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Yoda, but features them as side characters. The show was released on 21st March 2015, and was highly successful. Each two episodes are done in "arcs" (with a few exeptions), which means that they are written and directed by the same people, and the stories are usually connected in some way or another.
