Never underestimate the power of the international nerd community to unite to ferret out information about Star Wars.

First appearing on the German fan site Star Wars Union and being picked up by Jedi News. These two are reporting a rumor that the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episodes known informally as the bonus content are being branded as “Season Six” and are scheduled to appear on the German network SUPER RTL. I have included the episode titles and descriptions below so if you want to stay spoiler free stop reading after the large font.

Lending some credence to this rumor is the fact that SUPER RTL is partially owned by Disney. Disney has a 50% stake in the network along with RTL Group which also owns 50% of the company operating under the name of  RTL DISNEY FERNSEHEN GMBH & CO. KG.

SUPER RTL has two press releases on their website about Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the first is an announcement of airing Season 5 episodes on Saturday in four episode blocks. The second announcement refers to doing something similar with “Season 6.” I have included the Google German to English translation of both releases below.
