Disney is reportedly preparing a Star Wars app for the Apple TV to distribute the final Clone Wars episodes, according to a Jedi News report.

Their 'unnamed source' reports:

“A Disney branded app for Star Wars will launch on Apple TV devices, with plans to distribute the final Clone Wars episodes exclusively digitally only through the Apple TV device for a limited period of time. This will happen in this holiday season.

In 2014, plans are in an early stage to use the platform to deliver SW7 production news ‘live’ from the sets, followed with Star Wars Rebels in late 2014 taking us all the way through to SW7 release.”

The source also noted that there was no confirmation as to whether or not the app would be available to other iOS devices.

“Distribution will only be on Apple TV devices capable of running iOS7 and there has been no confirmation if the same app will be available to other iOS devices such as iPad or iPhone."

While the story is unconfirmed, Apple did just update the Apple TV with Disney Channel and Disney XD apps.
