The final season of Clone Wars was okay, but the last arc of the series was awesome. It made me excited about Star Wars for the first time since I saw Darth Vader in Rebels and previously Vader in Rogue One.
The final four episodes of Clone Wars, S07E09-E12, take place during Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith. The soundtrack and visuals capture the tension of those final events leading to the collapse of the Republic and the rise of the Empire.
Here is a watch list for anyone who wants to dive into Clone Wars (CW), Rebels, and the other animated stories while avoiding most of the silly childish recycled plots.
All you need to know before starting my recommended runs is that Ashoka is a padawan assigned to Anakin. Ashoka is similar to Anakin in many ways. Darth Maul didn't die and is a struggling bad guy. Rex, one of the clone troopers, is one of the main characters of Clone Wars. That's it; skip all the trash; and you'll be fine.
- Clone Wars "Clone Cadets" S03E01- a clone trooper boot camp story with a good moral for kids and adults.
- Clone Wars "Rookies" S01E05- continuing with the troopers from "Clone Cadets." Echo, Fives, and Cutup join Rex. These characters will play larger roles in the future arcs.
- Clone Wars "ARC Troopers" S03E02- the main trooper characters protect their homeland.
- Clone Wars Battle of Umbara S04E07-E10- the clone troopers start questioning their purpose and value as soldiers. (very popular run)
- Clone Wars The Clone Conspiracy Arc S06E01-E04- Order 66 is discovered and covered up. (my favorite Clone Trooper story)
- Clone Wars The Bad Batch Run S07E01-E04- if you are interested in the Bad Batch series, it starts here.
