Yesterday’s Marvel Legends Livestream gave collectors their first official look at the redesigned packaging for several products that incorporate the windowless form factor.

The Clone Wars: An Ending 12 Years in the making

Today officially marked the end of The Clone Wars and it did not disappoint and it exceeded expectations for most. When we were younger, we always wanted to know what happened during The Clone Wars as referenced by Obi-Wan Kenobi in A New Hope and now we have our definitive answer through amazing storytelling, visuals and music. The series came a long way in not only effects but in how fans received the show and in the end, cemented itself as an essential part of the Star Wars mythos.

Thank you Lucasfilm, George, Dave, Kathleen, the entire production crew and cast, and Disney+.
