We know the last arc coincides with RotS so the context of that shot could mean a lot. Padme is also wearing her Mustafar outfit so that could give an idea on when this scene takes place.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars | Official Trailer (Disney+, Feb 21)

star wars bout to get good again and wash away the bad after taste that was TROS. Bless Filoni 🙏
Very good trailer. Odd choice though to hint at a finale with Ahsoka vs. Maul, seeing how this was part of the S2 finale of Rebels which takes place years later. Kind of robs it of a climax in a sense.
That's what I am wondering.
They are lifting lines wholesale from the film (Yoda & Mace's in the trailer), so unless it's a call-forward (which would be a bit corny) it's looking like we'll at least get some ROTS scenes through the TCW lens.
Just remake it as part of the show and save the prequel era that way. The Clone Wars explores the themes the prequels were trying to significantly better, even if it doesn't explore all of them as much as I'd like.
Well that definitely looks like his master:
Oh damn, never saw this in the show IIRC. Love it.
I'm curious to see if they can convincingly bridge the gap between the show and RotS or if they're straight up going to retcon Ahsoka into the movie. It always bugged me how huge Ahsoka is for Anakin (and Obi-Wan to an extend) despite never being mentioned in the movie for obvious reasons. It wouldn't be respectful towards Lucas but I really do hope they retcon it.
I am not so sure though. Take the trailer scene for example, with Mace Windu revealing he's sensing a plot to destroy the Jedi. In the movie, he revealed it only to other council members: Yoda, Ki-Adi Mundi and Aayla Secura, just after Anakin left the meeting. So he only talked with the most trusted people about this in a very discrete setting.

In the trailer scene, it looks like he is talking about it in a meeting that also includes Plo Koon, Depa Billaba, Caleb Dume and two clones(!!!!!!!!). So, apart from the fact that Caleb Dume as a mere padawan would certainly not be in on the council's most secretive talks about this kind of stuff, it's virtually impossible to talk about it when clone troopers are around. And all that re-interpretation just to work Filoni's OC, Kanaan, into the scene. I am not sure how this would be an improvement, as it undermindes the secrecy and discretion of the council members about their mistrust of Palpatine. So I think that possibly, that line of Windu does not actually belong to that scene like the trailer implies.
Its highly popular, so would torpedo the entire franchise. SW is much richer and better due to the ideas in PT. They're not touching the it, in fact they'lll continue to enshrine it into the lore, the ST & Rogue One is full of PT callbacks. Deal with it.

The ideas of the prequels were never the problem; it's the execution. I want a version of the story where Anakin's change into Darth Vader actually makes sense.
It makes sense. Look at SW polls, its really liked. Just like TLJ, people need to accept it and move on.
Trailer was amazing! Have they announced how many eps this will be? Seems most of the new Disney+ shows are short so hoping this doesn't follow suit and follows the length of the previous seasons. Besides Season 6 they were all 20ish eps a season (with Season 6 only being 12).
Edit: Just answered above.

The weekly wait's going to be torturous, but I can't wait.
Don't think that person was suggesting to somehow retcon the prequels, but rather retread and flesh ROTS's events out in TCW format for its betterment.

They did motion capture for that fight scene, with Ray Park himself doing the mocap for Maul. It's going to be awesome
I mean yeah but so is TRoS but noones clamoring for an remake anytime soon. It's better just to move on.
I would love for them to have this season being about the Jedi finding all kinds of Sith underlings left and right. Sith apprentices, Sith acolytes, Sith students, Sith fanatics, Sith butlers.
That way, they could finally retcon that stupid Mace Windu line in ROTS.

I think George Lucas was pumping a lot of his own money into each episode. Disney probably didn't want to do that and had their own ideas of what to do with Starwars. I'm sure there was a lot of behind the scenes stuff going on coupled with the fan love the show gets that got it resurrected.
