Is the next STAR WARS Animated Series taking place AFTER the prequels?

“It’s hard to believe that I have worked at Lucasfilm almost eight years, and this is the first time I have ever gotten to draw a TIE fighter.” –Dave Filoni

Now I’m not going to lie, when I heard Disney ceased production on STAR WARS The Clone Wars, I was part of that great cry that could be heard all throughout the universe. But just like Obi Wan stated, it was suddenly silenced the moment I saw this.

IGN Movies spotted the following Facebook post by Star Wars: The Clone Wars supervising director Dave Filoni, and while we know he has been tasked to help create the next STAR WARS Animated series, up until right now, we had no idea what it could contain. But now, fans have their idea. And its possibly better than anyone could have imaged.

TIE FIGHTERS.

Lets leave the era of the prequels taking the center stage, and lets go back to the trilogy that deserves the spotlight. THE ORIGINALS.

While this image alone doesn’t automatically confirm anything, it does give that glimmer of hope everyone needed right about now to start trusting Disney with STAR WARS. And this image alone had restored my faith that Disney knows what they are doing.
