The Seige of Mandalor was definitely "Detailed" but not fully "written" in 2013 when the series got cancelled. It was definitely their intention to finish that season off with the Seige of Mandalor. We even see a bit of the Seige in the canon Ahsoka novel... but the fully written out story we're seeing now was written in modern times.Are the last 4 episodes (still have 1 to go) of the series the only “new” episodes and the first 8 were already written but never made?
They should’ve made more like the last 3. Damn good stuff.
"The Son of Dathomir" 4 part comic that happens just prior to these stories was also going to be covered in this Clone Wars season but they did the comic at the time prior to the Disney purge of 2012 thinking the cartoon was dead. It is the only comic of that time period to survive the canon purge to remain canon though.
The bad batch one's were definitely started & all ready done in simple animation.
Ahsoka going to the underworld of Coruscant after leaving the Jedi order was an original plan, but the Martez sister's Ahsoka met up with that connected her into getting involved in the Seige of Mandalore was originally a young Asian man called Nyx Okami (funny cause he got Nyxed. ) they supposedly had some romantic tendencies sparking up between him & Ahsoka. I would've been very jealous if they had went that route so I'm glad they didn't.
So to answer your question... the first 4 bad batch ones were the only ones that didn't largely change. I'm not sure how far they got with the Ahsoka ones in underground coruscant but they did have her speeder bike crash on that platform & you can recognize that same scene in the clip above. As best I know, this is all the animation they did though.
There's a 3 part side story that was made in simple animation called "crystal crisis" which coverz a story about a "Kyber boulder" that they wanted to use for a super weapon (likely the death star) & those are available to watch for free on youtube if you're interested. It's a fun story but definitely nothing critical to take in for this story line & the graphic quality is super sub-par as it's toward the beginnings of the animation process just before they smooth it out to what we're used to seeing. They decided not to use that storyline though.
