Fifteen years ago today, Star Wars: The Clone Wars aired an arc that felt strange, symbolic, and almost disconnected from the main war narrative. Now? The Mortis arc looks less like a side quest and more like one of the most important mythology pillars in modern Star Wars. Spanning three episodes — Overlords, Altar of Mortis, and Ghosts of Mortis — the story temporarily leaves behind the Clone Wars battlefield and dives headfirst into the cosmic side of the Force. In hindsight, this storyline appears deeply tied to Ahsoka’s larger journey and possibly the spiritual backbone of Dave Filoni’s evolving “Mandoverse.” Star Wars Steps Into Mythology Before Mortis, most Star Wars storytelling treated the Force as mystical but still grounded in Jedi philosophy, Sith ambition, and personal destiny.

This Filoni film has always been the “Avengers-style” culmination of that strategy. So hearing it’s on the backburner raises one obvious question:Is…

Whether you loved its Spielbergian charm, the kid-led cast, or Jude Law’s mysterious Force-user vibes, Skeleton Crew carved out its own unique pocket of Star Wars storytelling. And now that we’ve hit the one-year mark, fans are all thinking the same thing: Wouldn’t today be the perfect day to announce Season 2? A Year Later, What’s the Legacy of Skeleton Crew? When Skeleton Crew launched, it was pitched as a coming-of-age adventure set during the New Republic era. The series took risks — a kid-centric cast, a tone closer to Stranger Things or Super 8, and episodic adventures that shifted wildly in style depending on the writer or director.
