From the Hollywood Reporter ...
"Star Wars: The Clone Wars" Gets New Life on Netflix

Netflix is bringing new life to Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

The sixth and final 13-episode season of the canceled Cartoon
Network series will debut March 7 on the online streamer.
Netflix will also make the first five seasons of the series to
audiences. Several director's cut episodes that did not air on
television will also be available.

"Stars Wars is one of the most iconic franchises of all
time and this series joins a long line of Disney content
that Netflix members are and will continue to enjoy for
years to come," said Ted Sarandos, Netflix chief content
officer. "The Clone Wars marks an important moment as
Netflix welcomes more and more first-run content from
The Walt Disney Company and its subsidiaries."

This will be the first time that Netflix has streamed
Star Wars content. The deal follows the announcement that
Netflix had struck a deal with Disney to bring several
original series based on Marvel characters to the
platform by 2015. Netflix will also exclusively
stream Disney titles beginning in 2016.

Clone Wars launched on Cartoon Network in 2008 and
was a top performer on the cable network. The animated
show's fifth season, which ended during last March,
averaged 1.7 million total viewers.

Lucasfilm, which was purchased by Disney in October 2012,
canceled the show after the fifth season finale.

The series takes place during the same time period as the
Star Wars films Attack of the Clones and Attack of the Sith.
The final season will reveal some of the biggest mysteries
behind the conflict between the light and the dark sides of t
he Force.

I marathoned through these last night. There are a couple of misses - but on the whole a great run of episodes to finish off the series. As mentioned above, we also get a ton of answers to some of the big unanswered questions from the prequels. I'm definitely going to have a re-watch of Episodes II and III in light of these new revelations.

Stunning conclusion to The Clone Wars. The final 3 episodes (The Yoda story) in particular have me viewing the prequels in a completely new light.

The episodes are available via subscription to Netflix only, in USA/Canada (I believe). Underground access via peer-to-peer networks/torrents is inevitable but not officially condoned by SWNZ (in order to stay on LFL/Disney's good side) so please don't publicly post links. :)
