   Three problems:   
      
      - it was reported that LucasAnaimation was closed down and staff   
        sent home, it's unlikely that anyone is "putting final touches"   
        on anything.   
      
      - Any supposed new episodes won't be playing on Cartoon Network   
        and are unlikely to be played ona Disney Channel. It's possible   
        they could be a DVD-only release (it's unlikely to be a cinema   
        movie).   
      
      - Sifo-Dyas died before the Clone Wars started. The only way   
        they could tell his story is in silly flashbacks, which I don't   
        think have been used before in the series (although I haven't   
        seen every episode yet), or stupidly change history by finding   
        him alive.
