Best Star Wars expanded universe series?

CGI Clone Wars has multiple well written arcs thrown in rather then one central plot, but most of them a fantastically done. However it really doesn't start to get good until season 3.but after that the show is all uphill from there.

Yeah, The Clone Wars is the obvious place for you to go. The show begins with the 2008 theatrical movie and follows with 5 and a half TV series (or seasons, if I have to turn my Americanese on).

Couple of rough spots in series 1, but it constantly and consistantly improves.

There's basically only 2 canon animated shows, so you don't really need to do much digging.

Probably start with The Clone Wars, but you should skip a lot of it if you're wary of filler. It hits some high highs in its best episodes/arcs, but about half of it ranges from shitty to mediocre with no overarching plot relevance. Look for some sort of episode guide that can steer you clear of the show's many low points. Season 1/2 is mostly garbage with the occasional good episode. 3 starts to improve a bit. 4-6 is where most of the good stuff happens, but there are still some arcs with questionable quality.

Then you can move on to Rebels, which is somewhat more consistent and has more of an overarching story. Season 1 is mostly "meh", but is more about establishing the characters and the last few episodes of the season end on a strong note. Seasons 2/3 start to get quite good, and don't have as much filler as TCW's best seasons, although there are still some mediocre episodes here and there. You could argue that the show hasn't quite reached TCW's peak yet, but it's first 2.5 seasons so far certainly blow TCW's first 2.5 seasons out of the water

only CGI Clone Wars and Rebels are canon, and as far as I remember the only other star wars cartoons (besides the clone wars shorts) were old shitty Ewok and Droids cartoons

The best EU things in general, though they are now non-canon, were Knights of the Old Republic (comics and games, take place thousands of years before the movies and contain multiple stories across millenia) and the Thrawn Trilogy (Novels, written before the prequels so they make some interesting assumptions about the galaxy that don't line up with canon at all, it takes place soon after Episode 6 and the villain is evil Sherlock Holmes with an art fetish as an Imperial Admiral, who was popular enough to be recanonized in Rebels)

You sure accomplished stuff with those spicy opinions of yours.

not Op but what comics are canon?

>>89353696
Son of Dathomir, Obiwan and Anakin, Vader down, and Kanan are the only ones I can remember.

nucanon is garbage
If you can find the Tartakovsky Clone Wars cartoon give it a whirl, it's good

Genndy Wars is a must-see.
It does a great job to tie episodes 2 and 3

Also, did someone seriously save my shitty edit's thumbnail? No fuckin way.

Try Genndy's CW, YouTube should have a 2 hour video which combines all the eps into a movie.
The Clone Wars is good. Use this as scaffolding for other guides if you're a chronofag like myself
