I was stubborn the exact same way till 2012 when I saw some episode 2 episodes. Ended up watching all of them and suddenly....I liked the prequel era a whole lot!
But... it really is, there is just not enough time to spend in the movies :D The Clone Wars has silly Jar Jar and cool gungan and Darth Maul battles and beautiful Naboo of The Phantom Menace, it has Kamino, the politics, the clones and the cringy romance of Attack of the Clones, it has powerful friendship, large scale war and dark moments like Revenge of the Sith. For me it fits together with and complements the prequels and it all forms my favourite Star Wars period. But then again, there's this "growing with something" factor :D
@@ondrejrolnik1631 to me the clone wars actually make the clone wars worse, in a weird way. Because it makes it really clear that the movies could have been so much better with not that much alteration
Scine Bamm You’re missing the point it was never about Prequels vs Clone Wars, It was always about The Clone Wars complimenting the Prequel Trilogy and filling the big time gap besides without the Prequels we wouldn’t have got the Clone Wars in the first place. It’s also unfair to compare both since it’s only 2 hour films compared to a big series which had much more time investment in production and much more screen time to flesh out the heroes, villains, most importantly I think humanising the clones and expanding the world building. Anakin’s Clone Wars character is the same Character as Hayden’s but there is so development in his character arc going on, look at how much gradually darker and exhausted by the wars Anakin becomes in the later seasons of the Clone Wars, it explains us why he is the way he is in Episode 3.
I got into Star Wars a couple years prior to clone wars, so as a kid, I was so pumped watching it and getting as much Star Wars as I could at the time.
I actually think, that Star Wars works best in a series format. It gives more room for worldbuilding and character development and fits perfectly with the Flash Gordon roots of the Franchise. That's why The Clone Wars and The Mandalorian are some of my favourite Star Wars media.
I'm really curious as to why so many people value worldbuilding over character and theme in SW. That's not an attack, btw. I just find the perspective interesting. SW, to me, was never about building complex lore. It's all about the characters and story and thematic depth you can mine. The fun world is just the cool backdrop, an accent that makes it stand apart. But some fans seem to only really crave lore lore lore.
@@nope5657 I get what you are saying, but to me the worldbuilding adds to the characters and the story. Like how in the Mandalorian the "Great Purge" adds to the backstory and mindset of the Mando. I am also very interested in real live history and I believe history and the World around us have a huge influence on who we are, even though we often don't realise it.
@@Wastydest Yes, The Great Purge as an example of worldbuilding is apt...but it's also far more important as character development. At least from my point of view. I guess worldbuilding has a broad scope. Based off definition, worldbuilding is just the effort put into making a fictional world feel as believable as possible by providing background deets. So The Great Purge acts as both worldbuilding and character background. But usually when people praise worldbuilding it's always because it EXPLAINS stuff. Stuff that doesn't neccessarily need explaining to tell a compelling story. That's what I love about the OT in particular. It's worldbuilding is almost completely visual. The films rarely ever stop to just explain a thing. You're dropped into this world and told to accept it and keep up. I think the EU/Legends days created a new faction of SW fans because every little detail about the SW U was explained in a book, comic, game, or reference book at some point.
I really value worldbuilding as well. In the movies, the approach seems to be, do something that doesn't make sense, and then write a bunch of books or make other movies to explain the plot-holes and flaws in logic. With The Clone Wars, the worldbuilding serves to tell an interesting story.
Just curious, why do you prefer world building over storytelling? I really disagree, storytelling is the most important part of it. Without it, there wouldn't be a story. The world is important too, but not nearly as important as the story. This is the main reason why I hated the Mandalorian. It had very little substance.
@@NobleS1236 Episode 3 was, okay.. I wouldn't say it's good. And if I'm honest, the only parts I actually enjoyed 100% were either Obi-Wan scenes, meme sources, clones, or some combination of the 3. Plus, even that might not be enough if I hadn't grown attached to the characters watching TCW.
As someone who grew up during the OT, I have always felt that TCW in its totality is on par with those first three movies. TCW contains some of the best storylines and characters of any era of Star Wars and it adds much needed depth and continuity to the PT.
Also, I wouldn’t say any of the episodes are bad, and certainly not “terds.” Even some of the jar jar episodes are just good fun. Not every episode has to be taken too seriously.
I love the Clone Wars for giving us Ahsoka, a fleshed out Anakin, and giving Darth Maul depth. I don't usually like bringing a previously thought dead character back, but by God I've loved what theyve done with Maul. Sam Witwer is a fantastic VA.
Oh no, Greedo put The last Jedi over the clone wars in his ranking, I’m picturing the Stampede from the lion king but Greedo is Simba and the Wildebeest are Toxic fans
@@gamestation2690 You're right some sequels do this but it's not how they work or should work sequels should build on the foundations set by their predecessors. If not jou might as well just make a reeboot
What I love about this show is that it isn’t trying to delete the prequels. They’re trying to tweak it. Yoda going on a journey of self discovery and learning more about the force realizing how screwed up the Jedi have been so long is so satisfying. It was a very good transition into the originals
Ya same here, my best guess is to show them some of the other episodes before to get a feeling for those characters, then show them their death arc. It doesn't have to be every episode they were in but a few to understand their character
Then I'd say just show them all the episodes with Domino Squad up until Pong Krell, then host a watch party where every weekend you binge a season. That's what I did to convince some of my friends to watch it
It is my favorite Star Wars. I enjoy probably 80% of the episodes. I love the world building, I love the characters, I love the improvements to big name characters, the personality added to background characters, and many of the brand new questions. I like the risks it takes. I like how it’s not afraid to dive into the controversial politics of the prequels. I like that it goes to new avenues with the force. I like how it raises questions about the roles and philosophies of the Jedi, politicians, Sith, clones, and others. I like much tome there is to let ideas grow and breathe. I love this show
My favorite arc in the clone wars is order 66 because I really like the mystery and the feeling of hopelessness that arc give off, even though my favorite character dies in it, rip Fives. I'd like to hear what other people's favorite arc is to so if you want to reply with your favorite arc then that would be great.
Despite its several dud episodes, I still think it’s the best thing to come out of Star Wars. The character progression, the world building, it’s all pretty great. I remember watching it for the first time when I was young and I loved every episode even the ones I now see are flawed.
I had recently watched it for the first time. Every episode to prepare for the new season 7. The biggest mistake was assuming for it was for kids Watching the prequels. I always felt that there should have been 4 movies. Anakin was hard for fans to understand and love at times. I think the 4 year span of the clone wars is something that still could be explored much more. With this show. I came to understand Anakin’s fall to the dark side. With his constant feel of distrust towards him from the council, and especially them turning their back on Asoka. Which helps make sense, due to him in episode 3, jumping ship so quickly. However with this show. I understand it. I think if Asoka stayed with Anakin. He would’ve never joined the dark side, because he treated her like as if she was his daughter. We all know anakin suffered from handling emotion and it was probably the most heart breaking part of the show. And definitely top 3 in overall history of Star Wars. Along with what’s the best and most creative clone army of all time. The prequels barely gave these guys any attention outside of Cody. The first few seasons don’t waste any time showing the bond between the clones and their Jedi generals, who each become brothers. It’s amazing and also sad when you realize what’s at the end of the war. Literally they treat each other with so much respect Asoka is what Rey could have been. Imagine Rey, but with way character development, and more ties to fan favorite characters. You first meet Asoka as a Jedi Padawan. Eager to learn, but also extremely cocky. Sound familiar right? Obi wan seemed to want anakin to take on a padawan because he believed Anakin could learn more being a teacher, than a full time student. Asoka has what I believe is the best character development out of any character in Star Wars. Lucas Films perfected her. Over a 100 episodes and a 1.5 hour movie, to build her from a Jedi learner, to becoming a Padawan, to then becoming a powerful Jedi Knight. This is why the clone wars will always take a massive dump on Disney Star Wars and their Rebels show.
The best thing in Star Wars is Fallen Order. It takes the Jedi and mysticism of them from the prequels, without becoming convoluted in science It takes the sense of adventure from the Original Trilogy It Brings the reminders of reality and stakes that we get in the sequels. So many positive elements are brought throoughout the franchise and combined in a delicately crafted package
And it makes the Empire actually intimidating. It looks and feels like the Empire from Episode 3, but it has gotten far more aggressive. Episode 4 Empire feels super massive, but slow and byrocratical. Not dangerous or swift like in Episode 3 and Jedi Fallen Order.
Definitely!! This show expanded the lore for all of Star Wars and went into more detail about The Clone Wars. Everything that happens in this show, tells the audience why and how the Empire became what it was. Also, this show elaborates more on how The Clone Wars is still affecting the galaxy many years later as we have seen in both the OT and the ST.
I know it isn’t fair to pick and choose certain episodes and arcs, but I’d like to see your ranking again with clone wars just with your favorite arcs included. For me it would probably land behind Empire and A New Hope, but probably above Jedi
It’s main strengths are the development of characters like anakin, obi wan and the clones that the prequels just didn’t have time or focus enough to do. You get a much better feeling of and context to anakins struggle and really see him as a charismatic and heroic Jedi plus his relationship with both padme and obi wan feels along deeper and more believable. As for the clones; domino squad.. need I say more?
There are two types of star wars: the Space Fantasy western/samurai dramas of the OT (i.e. MANDO), and the Sci-Fi Greek Epics of the PT. Both are fantastic in their own right, and though I grew up with TCW, it and The Mandalorian are both the best Star Wars has to offer
For a dozen years now my favorite thing in all of Star Wars IP HD has been Knight of the Old Republic 2 by Obsidian Entertainment. To this day nothing has topped it on my chart.
The only reason I will ever watch Star Wars The Clone Wars Series from 2008 is to see Askoha. However in my opinion, the 2003 Version of Star Wars The Clone Wars is better then the 2008 Version. I dearly hope you review that series in your next video please.
I think the clone wars has some of the best concepts and characters in all of star wars, but it really suffers from moving too fast to hold as many arcs as possible. Maul and Savage have a great build-up with usurping Mandalore but in order to make room for the rest of the season, the show takes a short-cut by having Palpatine show up without any prior involvement in the conflict to kick their asses instead of creating an organic end to their story that fits with what has been built. 99 was a great concept for a character, but he only has two episodes and less screentime than rose in TROS before dying. It's a lot like how instead of giving Trilla a meaningful conclusion to her own character, Fallen Order just has a familiar bad guy show up to kill her despite vader having no involvment in the game prior. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that it originally aired on cartoon network where serialized shows were not very successful due to lack of rerun ability. I love the clone wars but I often feel frustrated by how much I would love it more if they let arcs be longer.
In 1977 I was 11 and of course I saw Star Wars( twice and.... wait for it... it was only 50 cents for a kid then). As a kid I fascinated by the line in The New Hope "You fought in the Clone Wars?". But that one line intrigued me and the reason that is. I grow up on Trek and always wanted to know about the Earth Romulan war. Still don't know because the 5th season of Enterprise would have taken place then. But the Clone Wars I know what happened. Great esp.
@DejaVoodooDoll there are plenty of older people who love the prequels. And The Clone Wars movie isnt part of the th show. They're only in the same timeline.
Check out his video on The Last Jedi. He explains why The Last Jedi has its flaws and is still a enjoyable movie. Although I love both of them, I have to agree that I like The Clone Wars more than The Last Jedi
As much as I enjoyed Clone Wars, I love Rebels more. Mostly because I prefer the time period it’s set in, with the Rebellion still brewing. Sure there was filler but I loved it.
i feel like the clone wars is one of those add ons that adds more to the story, but also kind of undoes or creates a plothole for some things in the movies. like how the clones have personalities and are like everyone else when in aotc the kaminoans say they are totaly obiedient and are less independent. kind of like how rogue one adds how the weakness in the death star was created and the battle to get the plans right before anh, but in anh they say the death star wasnt operational yet when we saw it fire in rogue one.
The fact you had any of the newest trilogy above the clone wars is sad i really believe its number 1 in all of star wars by far and i dont even think its close aside from maybe a new hope
Bro you have one of the WEIRDEST Star Wars rankings ive ever seen. Im not bashing it, not in the slightest. In fact i admire your balls to put movies on their most of the internet hates. But damn is it unorthodox!
If I were to introduce someone to The Clone Wars I would probably show them the Umbara arc. It’s one of the best arcs of the series but it also avoids any major plot spoilers like Ahsoka leaving the order or Maul’s takeover of Mandalore. Not to mention being one of the best at showing how interesting the clones can actually be
Finally someone being realistic about the show. About half of the show is “the worst Star Wars” as you put it. People on TH-cam argue with me claiming that’s it’s a mature show and it’s meant for adults not kids. I had to calmly explain to this man that it was in fact a children’s show. People act like it’s so serious and mature and crazy but when you watch it it’s kiddy as hell. It’s really good at times, don’t get me wrong but I’m sick of people being unreasonable about the show and just ignoring all the “floating turds” as you said.
I like Rebels, and I like the main characters but one thing I love about TCW is the clones are more humanized and viewed more than just pawns. I was hoping to see more of that with regular rebel soldiers in Rebels. Thats why I love characters like Hera Syndulla and Cassian Andor.
The Clone Wars is absolutely Amazing!! Still trying to get my brother to watch!! You are awesome and inspired me to create Star Wars content!! I love talking some clone wars!!Thanks for the awesome video!!
Nostalgia is kinda a funny thing. The starwars property I spend the most time with was the OG battlefront 2, like I loved the movies but played that game for more time then I had watch time of ethier trilogy. It made my rouge one watch experience interesting because even tho I felt like it was an just an average movie, I have kinda a soft spot for it because a lot of it reminded me of that game. If you didn't have the same nostalgic experience of that game then I don't think I could possibly get you to understand why I feel the way I do. On the flip side of that, clone wars came out when I was in high school, I stopped watching cartoons, I didnt watch the show untill last year after college, and I think it's great, but I don't hold it to this special standard that I've seen people about 4 or 5 years younger then me hold it to. I've always thought that's why starwars is so divisive, everyone has their own
I like the Clone Wars, but I cannot connect to it emotionally like I do with Rebels. But, some of the best parts of Rebels is when Clone Wars stuff shows up in it.
I remember when I were a kid I witnessed the prequels coming out in theatres and really thought they looked dumb. 5 years later I gave a shot at Clone Wars and now I'm a massive Star Wars fan. Even the Original Trilogy couldn't suck me in this universe because of how outdated it looked. Clone wars was able to correctly reintroduce the prequels to me and as I got older the show got more mature and epic and so did the animation. Unrelated but it was also the peak of Star Wars toys in my opinion which also helped all of us action figure collector. It was a peak for Star Wars and therefore my favourite Star Wars.
Even tho I saw the original trilogy and prequels first I still grew up with the clone wars from when I was 8 so to me it’s my favorite Star Wars and even my favorite show
Clone wars tells a lot of great stories, and finds new and inventive ways of developing its characters over the course of the seasons. Season 7 is the last we will see of the clone wars show, because I doubt a season 8 would ever be taken into account. Sometimes even something from the first or second season will get mentioned by characters, and has great continuity, If you watch it in chronological order that is. Next Star Wars show I’d say is pretty great is Star Wars: Rebels, not as Large scale as Clone wars but tells just as many great stories. Disney+ has given me a great opportunity to revisit most shows from my childhood, and I couldn’t be more thankful for getting it. Much more preferable than just finding a website where theirs no guarantee the episode you want to watch is available.
It may sound weird but I feel like the « weak » arcs (the younglings, the Mandalorian tea plot, even the Jar Jar episodes) improve the quality of the series but only as a whole. I don’t mean that they are as good as the rest, I mean that the universe shown gets more complete. While they bring less action scenes, they allow the best episodes to stand out even more when you binge watch a season. It’s the principle of a filler episode actually, to show you Something different but not useless, while the « main plot » can breathe
In my opinion, the best episodes and arcs of The Clone Wars are the best pieces of modern Star Wars, hands down. I was the target demographic for The Clone Wars when it came out: I was an 8 or 9 year old when the movie came out and season one debuted. I was instantly hooked on the series, it became a family tradition to watch the new Clone Wars episodes in the basement every Friday night. As time went on the series and I grew up together and as I was able to understand more complex concepts, the show introduced them to us. Not many shows can do that. It's sad The Clone Wars has to come to a finite end on the screen. I'm sure we all wish they could make more episodes but it's hard to cram over 150 episodes worth of story into three years. I'm just thankful we're able to have this last hurrah in 2020.
I'd say it doesn't usually reach the same peaks as the first 6 movies, but it is pretty consistent compared to the prequels. There were very few episodes I hated. Some are skippable but most of the time there's at least some redeeming quality.
Bro great video. I finally struck a deal with my girlfriend where for each 2 episodes of the clone wars she watches I'll watch 1 episode of Dr. Who. I'm going to show her the episode with Maul and Savage calling out Kinobi and then the next 3 episode Mandalorian/Maul arc
Hello greedo! i know youve already said what you use for background music with the far far away album and i feel bad for having to ask again but, for whatever reason, i still cant seem to find the specific track you use in this video. If you have the time, i would love to know what this specific track that you used is called. Awesome video as always, thank you my dude!
I think the best arc to show someone would be Umbara or the Obi-Wan under cover arc. Those avoid spoilers that the Maul or Rouge Ahsoka arcs would have, while still showing just how much the show is capable of. Umbara presents great Clone interactions and is a perfect introduction to them, as well as looking at themes of war and what it means to be a soldier indoctrinated against your will. Meanwhile, the Obi-Wan arc has amazing moments for both of the prequels' main protagonists, shows Anakin slipping to the dark side, shows the Jedi Council being dirty, and shows Palpatine manipulating everything. Is The Clone Wars the best Star Wars? I think you could certainly make an argument for it, arguing that it does everything ANH and Empire does, as good (if not better), and more. At the very least, I'd wager it's in the top 3 with ANH and Empire. Even in its "weaker" episodes, like the Senate ones, it does something at Star Wars' core: political themes and commentary. Watching the show as an adult vs. as a kid has really changed my perspective of *many* "dud" episodes
To me, Yes...Clone Wars is the best of Star Wars to me. I love the characters, the stories, the world building, the lore, everything about it is just really really well done to me

@@kevink397 thats a cool idea, Umbara is definitely one of my favorite arcs
“So everyone has a Star Wars movie ranking, right?”
Well, not everyone. I just love Star Wars. That’s it.
I grew up with clone wars, so I might be biased, but I truly think it is amazing
It is my favorite Star Wars. I enjoy probably 80% of the episodes. I love the world building, I love the characters, I love the improvements to big name characters, the personality added to background characters, and many of the brand new questions. I like the risks it takes. I like how it’s not afraid to dive into the controversial politics of the prequels. I like that it goes to new avenues with the force. I like how it raises questions about the roles and philosophies of the Jedi, politicians, Sith, clones, and others. I like much tome there is to let ideas grow and breathe. I love this show
My favorite arc in the clone wars is order 66 because I really like the mystery and the feeling of hopelessness that arc give off, even though my favorite character dies in it, rip Fives. I'd like to hear what other people's favorite arc is to so if you want to reply with your favorite arc then that would be great.
Despite its several dud episodes, I still think it’s the best thing to come out of Star Wars. The character progression, the world building, it’s all pretty great. I remember watching it for the first time when I was young and I loved every episode even the ones I now see are flawed.
My best friend and I began watching The Clone Wars when it first came on the air. We were 8 years old and we've been hooked ever since. Good times.
I had recently watched it for the first time. Every episode to prepare for the new season 7. The biggest mistake was assuming for it was for kids
Watching the prequels. I always felt that there should have been 4 movies. Anakin was hard for fans to understand and love at times. I think the 4 year span of the clone wars is something that still could be explored much more.
With this show. I came to understand Anakin’s fall to the dark side. With his constant feel of distrust towards him from the council, and especially them turning their back on Asoka. Which helps make sense, due to him in episode 3, jumping ship so quickly. However with this show. I understand it. I think if Asoka stayed with Anakin. He would’ve never joined the dark side, because he treated her like as if she was his daughter. We all know anakin suffered from handling emotion and it was probably the most heart breaking part of the show. And definitely top 3 in overall history of Star Wars.
Along with what’s the best and most creative clone army of all time. The prequels barely gave these guys any attention outside of Cody. The first few seasons don’t waste any time showing the bond between the clones and their Jedi generals, who each become brothers. It’s amazing and also sad when you realize what’s at the end of the war. Literally they treat each other with so much respect
Asoka is what Rey could have been. Imagine Rey, but with way character development, and more ties to fan favorite characters.
You first meet Asoka as a Jedi Padawan. Eager to learn, but also extremely cocky. Sound familiar right? Obi wan seemed to want anakin to take on a padawan because he believed Anakin could learn more being a teacher, than a full time student. Asoka has what I believe is the best character development out of any character in Star Wars. Lucas Films perfected her. Over a 100 episodes and a 1.5 hour movie, to build her from a Jedi learner, to becoming a Padawan, to then becoming a powerful Jedi Knight. This is why the clone wars will always take a massive dump on Disney Star Wars and their Rebels show.
The best thing in Star Wars is Fallen Order.
It takes the Jedi and mysticism of them from the prequels, without becoming convoluted in science
It takes the sense of adventure from the Original Trilogy
It Brings the reminders of reality and stakes that we get in the sequels.
So many positive elements are brought throoughout the franchise and combined in a delicately crafted package
And it makes the Empire actually intimidating. It looks and feels like the Empire from Episode 3, but it has gotten far more aggressive. Episode 4 Empire feels super massive, but slow and byrocratical. Not dangerous or swift like in Episode 3 and Jedi Fallen Order.
I disagree quite a bit.
Idk about that one chief
Too bad the acting/dialogue and plot weren't that great
I wasn’t a fan of its level design. Far too video gamey and not realistic
Definitely!! This show expanded the lore for all of Star Wars and went into more detail about The Clone Wars. Everything that happens in this show, tells the audience why and how the Empire became what it was.
Also, this show elaborates more on how The Clone Wars is still affecting the galaxy many years later as we have seen in both the OT and the ST.
I know it isn’t fair to pick and choose certain episodes and arcs, but I’d like to see your ranking again with clone wars just with your favorite arcs included. For me it would probably land behind Empire and A New Hope, but probably above Jedi
Prequels + Clone Wars= The good ‘ol days
Clone Wars comes very close to the OT in terms of being peak Star Wars
_"...and the worts things..."_ *inserts younglings*
Me: UH UH BOI YOU AIN'T MESSING WITH MA BOI GUNCHI *angry wookie noises*
The Clone Wars is my favourite Star Wars after the OT. And Ahsoka is my favorite character in all of Star Wars and the MCU.
What's Ahsoka got to do with the MCU?
@@BRC1298 They are both on Disney + ;)
I'm definitely biased bc i grew up watching TCW, but rewatching them now that I'm older just makes it even better
The originals will always be special but when it comes to the larger scale story the clone wars is THE star wars. Not sure if its the best though
I grew up with The Clone Wars and it's 100% my favorite part of Star Wars!
It’s main strengths are the development of characters like anakin, obi wan and the clones that the prequels just didn’t have time or focus enough to do. You get a much better feeling of and context to anakins struggle and really see him as a charismatic and heroic Jedi plus his relationship with both padme and obi wan feels along deeper and more believable. As for the clones; domino squad.. need I say more?
Yes.
Puts the clone wars below last Jedi
The “fans”: you’ve chosen death
There are two types of star wars: the Space Fantasy western/samurai dramas of the OT (i.e. MANDO), and the Sci-Fi Greek Epics of the PT. Both are fantastic in their own right, and though I grew up with TCW, it and The Mandalorian are both the best Star Wars has to offer
I love Ahsoka! She had to earn her trust with the fans. Not many people liked her at first, but now everyone loves her!
Not gonna lie, this just showed up in my recommendations and I'm not gonna watch the video, but I'm gonna say yes.
Yes it is.
Okay that's it.
Saw the title my answer is yes
Imo, the best Star Wars is KOTOR 1 and 2.
Yup, KOTOR, The Clone Wars, and the OT are my favorite Star Wars.
HelloGreedo: Shows tier list
Everyone: *Impossible. Perhaps the archives are incomplete.*
*"Some of the best"
*Puts it on number 6
It has a 98% rating on Google. I think that says enough
For a dozen years now my favorite thing in all of Star Wars IP HD has been Knight of the Old Republic 2 by Obsidian Entertainment. To this day nothing has topped it on my chart.
Kyle Katarn challenged you to do the helmet challenge! DEW IT
FUCK YES! crossover episode lol
The only reason I will ever watch Star Wars The Clone Wars Series from 2008 is to see Askoha. However in my opinion, the 2003 Version of Star Wars The Clone Wars is better then the 2008 Version. I dearly hope you review that series in your next video please.
I think the clone wars has some of the best concepts and characters in all of star wars, but it really suffers from moving too fast to hold as many arcs as possible. Maul and Savage have a great build-up with usurping Mandalore but in order to make room for the rest of the season, the show takes a short-cut by having Palpatine show up without any prior involvement in the conflict to kick their asses instead of creating an organic end to their story that fits with what has been built. 99 was a great concept for a character, but he only has two episodes and less screentime than rose in TROS before dying. It's a lot like how instead of giving Trilla a meaningful conclusion to her own character, Fallen Order just has a familiar bad guy show up to kill her despite vader having no involvment in the game prior. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that it originally aired on cartoon network where serialized shows were not very successful due to lack of rerun ability. I love the clone wars but I often feel frustrated by how much I would love it more if they let arcs be longer.
In 1977 I was 11 and of course I saw Star Wars( twice and.... wait for it... it was only 50 cents for a kid then). As a kid I fascinated by the line in The New Hope "You fought in the Clone Wars?". But that one line intrigued me and the reason that is. I grow up on Trek and always wanted to know about the Earth Romulan war. Still don't know because the 5th season of Enterprise would have taken place then. But the Clone Wars I know what happened. Great esp.
It's the reason I still care about the franchise, especially after the sequels
me too
I'd say that there are some bad things in the clone wars, but I think you're exaggerating that amount
Exaggerating = attention = more views
@DejaVoodooDoll there are plenty of older people who love the prequels. And The Clone Wars movie isnt part of the th show. They're only in the same timeline.
The Last Jedi above The Clone Wars. Now that's a fine meme.
Check out his video on The Last Jedi. He explains why The Last Jedi has its flaws and is still a enjoyable movie. Although I love both of them, I have to agree that I like The Clone Wars more than The Last Jedi
As much as I enjoyed Clone Wars, I love Rebels more. Mostly because I prefer the time period it’s set in, with the Rebellion still brewing. Sure there was filler but I loved it.
I personally am just not much of a "Rebellion v Empire" kinda fan man :/
"Show them your favorite arc"
I really don't know if starting with the Ahsoka leaves arc is that great of an idea.
YES!
I have spoken!
i feel like the clone wars is one of those add ons that adds more to the story, but also kind of undoes or creates a plothole for some things in the movies. like how the clones have personalities and are like everyone else when in aotc the kaminoans say they are totaly obiedient and are less independent. kind of like how rogue one adds how the weakness in the death star was created and the battle to get the plans right before anh, but in anh they say the death star wasnt operational yet when we saw it fire in rogue one.
I’m pretty stoked to see that TLJ went up in your ranks
The fact you had any of the newest trilogy above the clone wars is sad i really believe its number 1 in all of star wars by far and i dont even think its close aside from maybe a new hope
Bro you have one of the WEIRDEST Star Wars rankings ive ever seen.
Im not bashing it, not in the slightest. In fact i admire your balls to put movies on their most of the internet hates.
But damn is it unorthodox!
It is my favorite piece of Star Wars by far and away
If I were to introduce someone to The Clone Wars I would probably show them the Umbara arc. It’s one of the best arcs of the series but it also avoids any major plot spoilers like Ahsoka leaving the order or Maul’s takeover of Mandalore. Not to mention being one of the best at showing how interesting the clones can actually be
Finally someone being realistic about the show. About half of the show is “the worst Star Wars” as you put it. People on TH-cam argue with me claiming that’s it’s a mature show and it’s meant for adults not kids. I had to calmly explain to this man that it was in fact a children’s show. People act like it’s so serious and mature and crazy but when you watch it it’s kiddy as hell. It’s really good at times, don’t get me wrong but I’m sick of people being unreasonable about the show and just ignoring all the “floating turds” as you said.
Can we agree that Rebels and Resistance were nothing more than kiddy show garbage.
Half? I wouldn't go that far. I'd say the droid eps and the silly jarjar ones were the kiddy ones and everything else ranged from ok to amazing
The fact that you have rouge one so low.... I just don’t get it
Jaguars hoodie? You're a Jaguars fan?! Didn't know that they existed. I thought they were all but extinct right now, glad to see the support! Duval!
Yes, Facts, Period.
When hellogreedo uploads a new clone wars video:
I click
I like Rebels, and I like the main characters but one thing I love about TCW is the clones are more humanized and viewed more than just pawns. I was hoping to see more of that with regular rebel soldiers in Rebels. Thats why I love characters like Hera Syndulla and Cassian Andor.
My favorite era of Star Wars.
The Clone Wars is absolutely Amazing!! Still trying to get my brother to watch!! You are awesome and inspired me to create Star Wars content!! I love talking some clone wars!!Thanks for the awesome video!!
Nostalgia is kinda a funny thing. The starwars property I spend the most time with was the OG battlefront 2, like I loved the movies but played that game for more time then I had watch time of ethier trilogy. It made my rouge one watch experience interesting because even tho I felt like it was an just an average movie, I have kinda a soft spot for it because a lot of it reminded me of that game. If you didn't have the same nostalgic experience of that game then I don't think I could possibly get you to understand why I feel the way I do. On the flip side of that, clone wars came out when I was in high school, I stopped watching cartoons, I didnt watch the show untill last year after college, and I think it's great, but I don't hold it to this special standard that I've seen people about 4 or 5 years younger then me hold it to. I've always thought that's why starwars is so divisive, everyone has their own
Yes, with The Old Republic.
I like the Clone Wars, but I cannot connect to it emotionally like I do with Rebels. But, some of the best parts of Rebels is when Clone Wars stuff shows up in it.
I'm properly watching it for the first time and I love it. I saw it as a kid but never paid it much mind. But now I'm 21 and I think it's excellent.
I remember when I were a kid I witnessed the prequels coming out in theatres and really thought they looked dumb. 5 years later I gave a shot at Clone Wars and now I'm a massive Star Wars fan. Even the Original Trilogy couldn't suck me in this universe because of how outdated it looked. Clone wars was able to correctly reintroduce the prequels to me and as I got older the show got more mature and epic and so did the animation. Unrelated but it was also the peak of Star Wars toys in my opinion which also helped all of us action figure collector. It was a peak for Star Wars and therefore my favourite Star Wars.
Even tho I saw the original trilogy and prequels first I still grew up with the clone wars from when I was 8 so to me it’s my favorite Star Wars and even my favorite show
Clone wars tells a lot of great stories, and finds new and inventive ways of developing its characters over the course of the seasons. Season 7 is the last we will see of the clone wars show, because I doubt a season 8 would ever be taken into account.
Sometimes even something from the first or second season will get mentioned by characters, and has great continuity, If you watch it in chronological order that is.
Next Star Wars show I’d say is pretty great is Star Wars: Rebels, not as Large scale as Clone wars but tells just as many great stories.
Disney+ has given me a great opportunity to revisit most shows from my childhood, and I couldn’t be more thankful for getting it. Much more preferable than just finding a website where theirs no guarantee the episode you want to watch is available.
It may sound weird but I feel like the « weak » arcs (the younglings, the Mandalorian tea plot, even the Jar Jar episodes) improve the quality of the series but only as a whole. I don’t mean that they are as good as the rest, I mean that the universe shown gets more complete. While they bring less action scenes, they allow the best episodes to stand out even more when you binge watch a season. It’s the principle of a filler episode actually, to show you Something different but not useless, while the « main plot » can breathe
In my opinion, the best episodes and arcs of The Clone Wars are the best pieces of modern Star Wars, hands down.
I was the target demographic for The Clone Wars when it came out: I was an 8 or 9 year old when the movie came out and season one debuted. I was instantly hooked on the series, it became a family tradition to watch the new Clone Wars episodes in the basement every Friday night. As time went on the series and I grew up together and as I was able to understand more complex concepts, the show introduced them to us. Not many shows can do that.
It's sad The Clone Wars has to come to a finite end on the screen. I'm sure we all wish they could make more episodes but it's hard to cram over 150 episodes worth of story into three years. I'm just thankful we're able to have this last hurrah in 2020.
While The Phantom Menace certainly isn't the greatest Star Wars movie, it is neat to apply what I've learned through this series back to that movie.
A lot of people forget about the dark side about this show and what it did to legends.
I'd say it doesn't usually reach the same peaks as the first 6 movies, but it is pretty consistent compared to the prequels. There were very few episodes I hated. Some are skippable but most of the time there's at least some redeeming quality.
Haven’t watched the video yet, but yes. The answer to the title is yes, far and away.
Now we just need him to watch clone wars (2003) and we’re all set
Short answer: Yes for tv shows, Mandalorian is a closer second.
Yes it is for me.
I’m so glad I grew up with this show
You put 2 Disney star wars movies ahead of clone wars? What the actual fuck
Cry more, pathetic man-child
Bro great video. I finally struck a deal with my girlfriend where for each 2 episodes of the clone wars she watches I'll watch 1 episode of Dr. Who. I'm going to show her the episode with Maul and Savage calling out Kinobi and then the next 3 episode Mandalorian/Maul arc
I grew up with the clone wars and it’s definitely up there for me
The correct question is, what is the worst Star Wars? Episode 9, 2 or Life Day Special?
I didnt play Kotor 2 back when it came out, neither I am a video game guy, but Kotor 2 is my favorite Star Wars story.
Hello greedo! i know youve already said what you use for background music with the far far away album and i feel bad for having to ask again but, for whatever reason, i still cant seem to find the specific track you use in this video. If you have the time, i would love to know what this specific track that you used is called. Awesome video as always, thank you my dude!
I think the best arc to show someone would be Umbara or the Obi-Wan under cover arc. Those avoid spoilers that the Maul or Rouge Ahsoka arcs would have, while still showing just how much the show is capable of. Umbara presents great Clone interactions and is a perfect introduction to them, as well as looking at themes of war and what it means to be a soldier indoctrinated against your will.
Meanwhile, the Obi-Wan arc has amazing moments for both of the prequels' main protagonists, shows Anakin slipping to the dark side, shows the Jedi Council being dirty, and shows Palpatine manipulating everything.
Is The Clone Wars the best Star Wars? I think you could certainly make an argument for it, arguing that it does everything ANH and Empire does, as good (if not better), and more. At the very least, I'd wager it's in the top 3 with ANH and Empire.
Even in its "weaker" episodes, like the Senate ones, it does something at Star Wars' core: political themes and commentary. Watching the show as an adult vs. as a kid has really changed my perspective of *many* "dud" episodes
I think empire strikes back is the best. Love the darker star wars story being displayed but still has that light-hearted theme of hope.
To me, Yes...Clone Wars is the best of Star Wars to me. I love the characters, the stories, the world building, the lore, everything about it is just really really well done to me
He really be spitting facts doe
