The hit animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars may be coming to an end very soon on Disney+, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be more opportunities to explore that era of the far-reaching Star Wars saga.
Today Lucasfilm Publishing and Disney Books announced a new anthology collection entitled Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Stories of Light and Dark, which includes eleven short tales inspired by familiar arcs and characters from the popular television show. The book is due out this summer with the cover artwork pictured above.

- A new anthology short-story collection entitled Star Wars: The Clone Wars – Stories of Light and Dark was announced today by Lucasfilm Publishing.
- The book will contain ten retellings of memorable episodes and arcs from the animated television series plus one original tale about the Dathomirian Nightsisters.
