The Clone War has resumed after its brief pause due to the fall of Chancellor Palpatine, who has been revealed to be Darth Sideous. Chancellor Kayla Kanai leads the Republic, and Darth Tyrannus has seized control of the Separatists. The war is now a...
If anyone would be interested in a platform in which I talk about the formation of this story and the books preceding and following this, I have created a Discord server :) The link is on my conversations page on my account, or you can private message me and I'll send you the link if you have trouble finding it.
While there will not be a Clone Wars sequel, there will be a sequel series to this one. Essentially it will be a retelling of Star Wars: Rebels, but with a few significant differences. This is my spoiler as to the most obvious difference:

Originally this was going to be the cover, but I decided to go with a different look for Anakin. Feel free to spread the word, I don't feel like I'm the only one who's thought about what Anakin would be like as Fulcrum.
My plan is to write the first three seasons as one book, and only to write the scenes with significant differences in my AU. Obviously Twilight of the Apprentice won't be the same, and I'm planning on reweaving past relationships established in this series into that one. Also, Fulcrum is still going to have a showdown with two Inquisitors, and if you've read Season 7, then you know it's going to be interesting ;)
Season 4, on the other hand? Nothing like the TV show. I'm planning to make that almost completely new, with an original plot and a lot of crazy stuff. Same characters, obviously, but if you have to either read 1,2,3 or 4, read 4. That's where the fun begins. I'll announce the books once they release, and I hope you guys will enjoy them.
That being said, this is the end of Season 9, and the end of the Clone Wars series. It's still so crazy for me to believe that this series is complete. I started this two years ago back before we even knew we were going to get a canon Season 7 of the Clone Wars. Right before I wrote the chapter where Ahsoka dies, I hit a mental block because I realized that once I write her ending, I've essentially written the rest of the book (I had the rest of the chapters prewritten). Everything else I had written in this series had built up to this, to this finale of her life. I had to rewrite the characters so that a different ending could be possible and the Order 66 we all knew didn't have to happen. It didn't stop Order 66, but it was Ahsoka who saved the characters from the prequel movies from having the same fates they did in canon. It took three books of character and plot development, but I think I've managed to shape a world where a different ending from canon might be possible. For the record, I just want to say that I was crying as I wrote her death scene as well. I'm not that heartless, I just knew it was the proper ending to the series. Confession time: I had planned for it since the beginning of Season 7 :/
If nothing else, I just want to thank everyone who's stuck around for the past three books. I firmly believe that my writing got better over time, but many of you have supported my story from the beginning and I truly appreciate it. There are about twenty users who regularly comment and vote, but I know there are at least 200 Wattpad accounts who have read the majority of this book. I want to thank all of those readers for your silent support. Additionally, I want to thank the active readers for their not-silent support. All of your feedback and reactions have pushed me to keep going with this plotline for three books.
