I want to watch The Clone Wars but I don't want to watch the bad episodes, what do I do.

I think it's mentioned sometime during Rebels that Ahsoka believed Anakin was killed.

That is what she initially says, and is clearly the excuse she bought into.

But when she actually confronts him later it is obvious that she's known the truth was just in denial.

Yeah, that's my take as well.

It is star wars.

You are meant to watch the really bad content.Then after that, you need to watch the newer content and somehow be surprised and angry when it is also bad.

RatskyWatsky · Nov 25, 2020

I started Rebels! I liked the first two episodes well enough that I decided to just watch the whole thing without skipping any episodes. I'm honestly enjoying it way more than Clone Wars - I think because the cast is the same every episode so you build up more of a bond with them.

(Zeb is the best, Chopper is an asshole, Hera had a French accent for a minute???, Rex is dad, Kanan and Sabine are fine, Ezra thankfully isn't as douchey as he looks!)

I just finished S2 and whew that finale! :O

I suppose they handled Ahsoka not knowing about Anakin being Vader fairly well, though, again, the fact that she didn't bother to investigate herself and immediately went into years long hiding is dumb. Anyway. Their scenes were great and everything but I kinda wish the writers had had the balls to kill Ahsoka. They've apparently got more story for her but idk I think Vader should have killed her during their showdown. I guess we'll see where they take her in the final two seasons + Mando (hope Mando doesn't spoil anything for me 😬 )

TDLink said:
Barriss did feel like a major dropped ball, not just for that series, but also since that series. The way her story ended in season 5 makes it clear they had bigger plans for the character... and yet I don't think it is spoiling anything to say they still have yet to follow that up in any way.

Oh, is she still alive? I figured they just executed her off screen.

It will be interesting how the upcoming Bad Batch spin-off series handles things, since there is a strong potential it can deal with a few aspects I would have liked to see at the end of TCW (albeit from a very specific point of view).

What do we know about the Bad Batch spin off? Does it take place before or after Rebels?

I wish Rex had become part of the main crew.

??? I guess, but yeah the original plan was to definitively kill her off on screen but then they changed their mind because they had additional plans... and we have yet to see whatever they are (if they ever still come to fruition).

What do we know about the Bad Batch spin off? Does it take place before or after Rebels?

Before Rebels. At least to start. Shortly after the end of the Clone Wars. We still don't know very many details though. It's supposed to air in February.

I thought it was a nice touch, actually, that the implication is Hera has taught herself a "Star Wars/American" accent, but when she gets mad, it slips, and her native Twi'lek accent comes out. That's just a nice, realistic, linguistic touch that any immigrant can relate to.

The finale of Rebels season 2 might be my favorite of all the animated star wars-dom and its all thanks to that amazing Ahsoka Theme arrengement

Watch all highlighted recommended episodes AND the "Honorable Mentions" episodes. Skip the episodes that aren't marked at all. Also I'd recommend skipping the pilot movie, just know Anakin is given an apprentice named Ahsoka (The orange alien girl).

Don't worry about chronological order. Just watch it in the release order using this to skip the not-good stuff. The short answer as to "why" is that it's an anthology series. Every 3-4 episodes is a completely different story with completely different characters. Eventually many of them interweave. Some are sequels to others. Some are prequels to others. That's where the chronological order gets weird, but seriously don't worry about it. It all makes sense if you just watch it this way imo.

the fact that this exists is so crazy lol

I started watching this year. There are no bad eps!

It's not that crazy. I'm all for people who want to just watch the whole show. But many many people straight up didn't get into the series because they either watched the awful movie or an episode of season 1 and determined it was a dumb kids show not worth their time. Even now, with renewed interest thanks to the Mandalorian, a lot of people complain about season 1 being boring/a slog/not very good. And the truth is it is definitely weaker and more directionless than what the show eventually became. The guide has been proven to work at getting people into the show. Once they're in, they can always go back and watch what they missed. And since the series is anthology any of those random skipped stories could really be watched in any order.

Alright.

I took the image that's been posted a bunch in here and cross-referenced with every other "these are the Clone Wars episodes you should watch" list that I could find. If an episode was listed on one but not the other, I included it. As a result this list includes most episodes. My assumption is the only ones excluded are the ones that are really shit. I then took the list and merged with the official chronological order from StarWars.com with the included links to each episode on Disney+.

Mostly posting this for myself so it's easy to get to the next episode on my iPad.

wait

when did Kanan and Hera fuck 🤔 how did a twilek give birth to a human 🤔

how/what/where/when/why

I feel confused now because before the Jacen moment, I thought Kanan and Hera had been close and low key in love but that they hadn't actually consummated their feelings yet - sort of a "will they won't they" vibe throughout the series climaxing in them kissing for the first time just moments before Kanan's death (not to mention Hera finally saying "I love you" to which Kanan is like "idk this is probably just the truth serum talking..." only reinforces that).

idk I feel like they threw in Jacen at the last second without thinking it through just to make the ending a little happier for Hera

Random series thoughts:

Overall, I liked Rebels a lot more than Clone Wars mainly due to the reason I stated in my last post - the cast is the same every episode so you build a much stronger bond with them over the course of the series. When Kanan died ;___;

Darth Maul's end felt very abrupt and anti climactic though. I actually thought the live action Obi Wan series was going to follow up on Maul's appearance in Solo and conclude his arc, so when it happened in Rebels I was pretty surprised.

Kallus joining the rebels didn't feel like it amounted to much. It was a nice redemption but as soon as it happened his significance to the plot (not to mention his screen time) plummeted. It was also a missed opportunity not to have him share more scenes with Zeb after he joined the team.

Pretty sure you're right and no one ever really openly declared Twi'leks speak with a French accent.

But Twi'leks being French is kind of cool, so I'll just roll with it.

The implication is they were in a relationship the whole time, but because the show is essentially G rated (and with a target audience of boys so young they think romance is icky) they never bring it up. I agree it is kinda lame and I wish it was a bigger focus in the series so that didn't just come out of nowhere.

Darth Maul really felt half-baked in this show in general. His reincarnation in Clone Wars was great, but it felt like they didn't really know what to do with him here. When he showed up in the season 2 finale, it presented a very interesting potential direction the story could go, if even only for a while... but then they almost completely side step that and only have him appear a handful of more times before dying. Very bizarre.

Re: Kallus, I felt the exact same way. And about Rex as well actually. Both sort of "join the team" but then are extremely underutilized and rarely show up. I think they should have just become part of the ongoing crew rather than sticking to the core 5 characters (plus Chopper) being the only ones in the Ghost from beginning to end. As you say, even by the end I felt it would have benefited Zeb; who was by far the least developed character of them all despite being around for four season.

If you look at the layout of the Ghost that was officially released, you'll see that Kanan and Hera's quarters are one and the same. They had motive, opportunity, and intent...so to speak.

EDIT: And after spending 20 minutes looking for that image, and not finding it, I'm wondering if I'm misremembering something from the early days of Rebels. Does anyone else remember this?

Funny story, when I had seen most of the first season of Rebels I described the show to my friend and I said Kanan and Hera

were married, it seemed so obvious and I assumed I had missed whatever line in the show had made it explicit.

I don't know why they didn't just make them married from the beginning, tbh. Just one "this is my wife, Hera" line would have communicated so much to the audience.

Ezra being torn between 2 masters - one light and one dark - would have been a really fascinating wrinkle to the story. They would have needed to invest a little more into Maul's relationship with Ezra for it to be believable, but I honestly thought that's where the show was headed after S2. Ah well.

Rex was better utilized than Kallus for sure, but yeah, he could have been given at least an arc of his own.

Saifu · Dec 15, 2020

This is my personal "must-watch" list if anyone is interested.
Took references from Reddit guides and customized it to my liking.
I took all 133 episodes and narrowed it down to just 90 episodes.
I guess the only major thing that I didn't add is the Clone Wars movie which has the first proper introduction to Ahsoka.
But aside from that, I think these are all the arcs/episodes most folks really need to watch to get a good understanding of Clone Wars.

Yeah that is 100% where it seemed like they were taking the story but then they just... didn't. I wonder if someone higher up put the kibosh on it or something.

I used that list and enjoyed it a lot. Watch all the honorable mentions and be aware that it gets better after the first two seasons. Also think about watching the episodes that deal with Mandalore but the list tells you to skip since Mandalore and it's people are an on going plot in SW.

I want to watch The Clone Wars but I don't want to watch the bad episodes, what do I do.
