Now that Star Wars: The Clone Wars has finished its seventh season and received a proper ending after a long delay, one might think that the final note on the show's characters and their stories has been delivered. However, the truth is more complicated.

While Star Wars Rebels featured appearances from many Clone Wars fan-favorites, there is a 15-year time jump between the ending of The Clone Wars and the beginning of Rebels. As such, there are some gaps remaining in the stories and loose threads left entirely unresolved. Let's look at what they are.

10 Ahsoka & Rex's Goodbye

Rex and Ashoka

When Ahsoka Tano and former Captain Rex are last seen in Clone Wars finale "Victory & Death," they've just finished burying several of their comrades and are about to flee into hiding. Ahsoka's eponymous novel and Rebels reveal the two didn't stay together for long, with Ahsoka fleeing to Outer Rim world Thabeska and adopting the name "Ashla." While the separation makes logical sense given both the Jedi and Clone were fugitives from the Empire, the exact circumstances of how they separated is a story that deserves to be told, given how close the two became over the course of the war.

9 Rex Meeting Wolffe & Gregor

While Ahsoka began working for the Rebel Alliance under the code name "Fulcrum," Rex took a different path, retiring to a life of relative comfort on planet Seelos alongside fellow Clone Troopers Wolffe & Gregor.  By the end of the Clone Wars, Wolffe was fighting alongside Jedi Master Plo Koon on Mygeeto. He then executed Order 66 while Gregor was presumed dead on the Outer Rim world Abafar. How these three clones met up after being scattered across the galaxy is a story that's yet to be told, but it is a story that merits deeper exploration.

8 Fate Of Commander Cody

The leader of the 212th Attack Battalion, Commander Cody was Obi-Wan Kenobi's right-hand clone throughout the war, in much the same way Rex was for Anakin Skywalker. However, when Palpatine sent out Order 66, Cody followed the directive just like the rest of his clone brothers, even if Obi-Wan ultimately survived the attempt on his life.

What happened to Cody after the rise of the Empire has yet to divulged in the current Star Wars canon, but given his prominence throughout the Clone Wars, he deserves at least an ending.

7 Grief of Commander Bly

Cody isn't the only Clone Commander whose post-Order 66 fate deserves to be followed up on; Bly, of the 327th Star Corps, deserves a wrap-up just as much. Bly served alongside Jedi Knight Aayla Secura, and the two shared a very close relationship that, at least on Bly's end, went beyond professional. However, due to the chip implanted in his brain at birth, Bly was forced to comply with Order 66 alongside the rest of the 327th, so he and his brothers executed Aayla on Felucia. A story focused on the Clones' grief over executing their Jedi comrades is one rife with dramatic potential, and given Bly's feelings for his Jedi, he would be an ideal protagonist for such a tale.

6 Fate of The Bad Batch

Another group of clones who deserve a story set during the reign of the Empire is Clone Force 99, aka The Bad Batch. Debuting in The Clone Wars' final season, the Bad Batch is a four (five at the arc's end) man band of genetically altered clones who operate outside the normal chain of command. Since they didn't regularly travel with any Jedi, fans have wondered how Order 66 affected them, or whether they even continued serving the Empire at all, given their rebellious nature. Perhaps a clash between Close Force 99, and their Imperial successors Task Force 99/"The Scar Squadron" is in order.

5 Fugitive Quinlan Vos

Quinlan Vos was an accomplished Jedi Master during the Order's final days, though also an unorthodox one. During the last year of the Clone Wars, he was assigned by the Jedi Council to assassinate Count Dooku alongside Asajj Ventress, and even briefly fell to the Dark Side before being rescued.

Darth Vader: Dark Lord Of The Sith revealed the Empire believes Vos to have survived Order 66, though the exact circumstances of his escape have yet to be revealed. A story detailing Vos living under Imperial Reign as a fugitive, and whether he survived to see the end of the Empire or fell sometime before, is a story worth telling.

4 Occupation Of Mandalore

The final episodes of The Clone Wars are set primarily on Mandalore, and include a scene of then-Republic troops policing Mandalorian citizens in a grim reminder of what's soon to come when the Empire occupies the planet. Rebels revealed that Bo-Katan's effort to free her people from Maul & the Death Watch were short-lived. The Mandalorians merely traded one oppressor for another when the Republic became the Empire then empowered Maul's former lieutenant Gar Saxon. Showing the story of Mandalore's fall and Bo-Katan's escape first-hand would make for a compelling story.

3 End Of The Shadow Collective

Upon his return, Darth Maul set about establishing a power base in the criminal underworld. Maul looked to unite the galaxy's foremost crime rings, from the Black Sun to the Pyke Syndicate, under his control as a conglomerate: the Shadow Collective. He maintained control at least a decade into the Empire's reign, ruling from the shadows on Dathomir, but by the time of Star Wars: Rebels, the Collective had apparently fallen apart. Revealing how the Collective fell, in particular who brought about its end, is a story that would help complete Maul's tale.

2 Maul Trapped On Malachor

When we first meet Maul in Rebels, he is stranded on the ancient Sith world of Malachor V, and apparently has been for years. Having come to Malachor in search of an ancient weapon hidden in a Sith Temple on the planet, Maul finally escapes when he steals a ship from Imperial forces on the planet to claim the weapon for themselves.

The circumstances of Maul's arrival on Malachor are vague, such as what specific year he arrived and whether it preceded or succeeded the fall of the Shadow Collective. Clarification about this would be welcome.

1 Maul Vs Vader

In Rebels, Maul expresses familiarity with Darth Vader, the current apprentice to his former master. But the two have not encountered each other in any canon story as of yet. A planned duel between the two was cut from Rebels, but the concept could easily be repurposed for a chronologically-earlier story, and it would be easy to depict Vader as the figure responsible for both the collapse of Maul's criminal empire and his disappearance to Malachor. Plus, since Maul sensed that Anakin Skywalker would become Darth Sidious' new apprentice shortly before the Jedi actually fell, Maul would have a better understanding of Vader than many of the armored Dark Lord's other opponents.
