Last season is kino.
Everything else is anti-kino.

>>81984995
No. Rebels is though. I think it's the best thing they've ever done with the property.

Yes, The Clone Wars is on of, if not THE greatest piece of Star Wars media.

>high budget $1 million dollar episodes (Lucas wanted to bring movie-quality animation to the small screen)
>created by Lucas himself, alongside Dave Filoni (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
>had over 120 episodes, pushing the maturity and violence beyond anything in the movies. (Some of it was censored from the tv airings.)

The few Jar Jar and Droid episodes absolutely do not ruin an otherwise phenomenal series.

Any Star Wars fan would be doing themselves a disservice to not watch it. It's just top notch Star Wars.

God Tier Arcs:
>Umbara (literally Vietnam: Star Wars edition. Imagine the Battle of Scarif, but with Clones fighting the indigenous malicia)
>Ahsoka Framed
>Massacre
>Mandalore Civil War

>>81984995
the fact that Jar Jar is even mentioned once prevents it.

What is kino though, is in Rebels, the final duel between Obi-Wan and Maul

Rebels is great, but it was just riding on the wave that TCW kicked up. Without TCW, Rebels would not have worked.

Protip, the show improves, quickly and gradually, and by Season 4 you're getting storytelling that is easily surpassing anything in the movies.

Son, you just need to appreciate the level of writing involved that is required to do this. Filoni made joke characters into GODS. Disney on the other hand just panders to reddit because they are creatively bankrupt and dont know what made star wars good

They're supposedly extremely rare. So rare even the 1000 year-old droid mentions how rare they are. Gunji may very well be the first Wookiee initiate the Order's seen in centuries.

>>81985766
Lucas was initially opposed to Wookiee's being Jedi, believing that they could have their own kinds of connections to spirituality, nature and the Force.

He did eventually go back on this and allow Gungi to be a Jedi, but a character in the episode remarks about how Wookiee's are still very rare to become Jedi.

>>81986116
Lucas "okay'd" lots of EU stuff, under the disclaimer that he would not consider it real Star Wars. He didn't want to limit peoples creativity, even if he disagreed with things.

Similar thing with KoTOR 2 when he saw how they completely botched understanding the Force. He said they could release it, but if they didn't tweak stuff he didn't like, it would never be true to him.

He also okay'd lots of stuff in The Force Unleashed, despite the game contradicting a lot of things Lucas talked about regarding the series.

That's why only the stuff he DIRECTLY worked on (1-6, The Clone Wars) got to stay canon when Lucasfilm/Disney started rebuilding canon from scratch.

The art direction alone is enough to put this and Rebels into pure shit tier.

I just CANT take the whole clones vs droids serious any more.

Its something I wish people accepted from those RLM cucks. They were so right when they said it basically had no tension at all.

I just dont feel anything for expendable nobodies fighting harmless brain dead droids and the occasional big bad droid that's less useless than the others.

Good job watching the show then. Maybe you should invest your time into that rather than watching that fat fucks youtube videos.

The first ever episode starts to establish the Clones at the polar opposite of expendable. Names, individual personalities, quirks and preferences.

Frankly, the writers and VA did phenomenal making the audience care about Clones as if they were individual people.

(Oh and that WebM in the post you replied too? They're carpet bombing actual human seperatists. The show moves away from droids as being the only enemies.)

Calm down buddies, no need to get all aggressive on me.

I like Starwars as much as you, I saw a few episodes of this, its not bad, it just doesn't make me feel anything for it thats all.

Again, I blame the setting, the overpowered Jedi, the weak enemy (droids, grievous), the clones and, although I might be going a little bit too far, the lasers.

>>81986337
>>81986149
Overrated as fuck. The entire thing is about 2 hours long in total, and the first half is basically mute.

It's just mindless action and set pieces.

Don't get me wrong, there are a few moments in the 2003 cartoon that are fantastically executed. Any Fordo scenes were cool, and the Ventress fight was too.

But TCW does everything the 2003 cartoon did, better. Right down to re-creating that Ventress fight in an episode that CAN truly be called kino.

I can't think of him any other way than a cartoony villain that appears and then runs away when is defeated.

The entire setting of the clone wars is just... bad, dude.

There was a good Grievous version tho...

https://youtu.be/xTnpqjJae-g?t=28

>>81986493
Yes. The original show is inferior. I'm sorry if this upsets you.

You're comparing a mostly-silent, decently-animated 2-hour experience (the equivalent of 6 TCW episodes) compared to 120 episodes of actual Star Wars, created by George himself.

Almost everything in that 2003 cartoon was even re-made and improved in TCW.

That awesome 5-minute Kit Fisto scene? Boom, TCW turned it into a complete 4-episode long arc. It was the same battle, but much larger, visually stunning with a proper story and character drama, and a sick scene where a Seppie Shark General gets his head literally blown off on screen.

>>81986552
2003 Greivous was made before they knew who Greivous was even supposed to be.

They just saw the design and thought "wow badass, he can probably fight 6 Jedi at once, lets do it"

Flashy for the sake of it, and doesn't really fit thematically at all.

Greivous in TCW was much better. Cowardly, but still fearsome when he needs to be. There's an episode (fittingly called Massacre) where he invades Dathomir and genocides the entire planet.

It's actually a loli Twi'lek orphan than the Clone rescues earlier in the show. She called him "brother" in her language, and since that episode, he always had her drawn onto his armor somewhere, until his eventual death.

Filoni said he has liked the idea for a while, and it looks like he is making it happen.

>>81986850
Filoni is a fucking retard and his suggestion at some fan convention isn't cannon

There's a 20 year gap between ep3 and ep4. Then there's another 6 years to ROTJ.

Clones age more rapidly than humans. Rex would be really, really old

>>81986942
He would only look a decade older than he does in Rebels, he could perfectly fit as the old man on Endor.

Have a link/episode name?

>>81986978
Anakin fights Ventress a number of times throughout the show, taking beats from that fight.

However the episode I was thinking of in particular is actually the Season 5 finale. His fight against Bariss was a huge homage to the 2003 fight.

Anakin fight Bariss (with Ventress's lightsabers no less) through and up a temple.

The fight ends almost identically too, with Anakin grabbing Bariss by the wrist until she stumbles, and then wailing down on her.

EVERY FUCKING DETAIL

This show is proof that George Lucas is a genius and is the core of why Star Wars is so good.

He basically described what he wants in an episode and helps guide every scene by scene and the more talented people bring what he wants into life. This is like episodes 4-6 and the clone wars shows that Lucas has got the talent to tell incredible stories but just lack the talent to properly execute them.

I really liked the show, but I thought they shouldn't have put so much focus on Anakin, Obi-Wan, Padme and Ahsoka. Most episodes with them as the main characters were pretty boring, though that did get better in later seasons.

Everything with JarJar Binks in it was still shit.

I would have liked more Yoda focus throughout the show as well as some episodes that focused on other Jedi or Palpatines political schemes and how he got so much of the senate on his side.

I liked the clone-centric story arcs.

Still haven't watched Rebels because they little bits I've seen of it had that weird Jedi and the little kid in them, and I found both annoying. Like the worst parts of Clone Wars. Should I still give it a try?

>>81986850
>One of those dudes is also no canonically Poe's dad

>>81987674
Rebels starts very much how TCW did. Slow and more kid-friendly, but it builds up nicely, and has a huge payoff.

I don't want to spoil anything, but there is a point in the first season where Tarkin shows up and literally executes two characters in a beheading, and you know from this point onwards that they're not fucking around.

The show maintains it's ANH-style lighthearted tone, but dips into more serious ESB-style moments when necessary.

Filoni also uses the show to finish some stories and character arcs that he couldn't wrap up in TCW, so if you were a fan of that show, you will get some comfort in Rebels by viewing it as an extension of the previous show.
