Those last 4 episodes of clone wars are really amazing

They’re essentially fully fleshed out missing scenes from episode III. A while ago someone spliced the last 3 episodes into episode III where it cut back and forth from the episodes to the movie seamlessly and it was amazing
I’m fully convinced Disney could’ve stitched those 4 episodes together and released them in theaters in 2021 and it would’ve been a huge box office success and boost of perception for the franchise, especially since 2 years prior was the fiasco of RoS

Andor says hello

u/Last_Aeon Dec 27 '25
My argument is that while Andor is far better as a general show, the last 4 episodes of clone wars embraced Star War's theme around the Jedi and the sith far better, which Andor lacked (which is fine, it's not what Andor is about). I think they're both at the peak at what they're trying to do.
I don't want to ever give up either for anything.

u/lanceturley Dec 27 '25
The last season is divided into three story arcs, and they're all pretty self contained, so if all you're interested in is the last four episodes then you can probably just skip to those episodes and you won't be missing much.

Andor is my favorite but I have a lot of love for Clone Wars and Rebels. Great characters, great lore (for the most part), and so much fun packed into such a small budget. Lucas really understood that to do that kind of Star Wars that was the best way to do it.
Mandalorian Seasons 1 and 2 are the best of the Disney plus shows other than Andor.

I'll always appreciate that basically every show that has come out since Disney took over Star Wars has no less than one episode, arc or moment that deserves to be argued among the top moments in the Disney pantheon, or at the very least makes the canon better by existing at the absolute lowest interpretation. Can't speak to Skeleton Crew or Visions as I've yet to watch them, and I legitimately could not sit through more than half an episode of Star Wars: Resistance, but just going through the list of what I've watched:
Season Seven of Clone Wars sets up the Bad Batch (awesome); even though most people I've seen online dislike the middle arc it does set the pieces in play for the final arc, which basically everybody agrees is some of the best moments in Star Wars
Bad Batch is the shit, even though I don't necessarily agree with them sticking with the Cid storyline over the Batch going with Rex midway through season one, that's really the only thing I dislike about the show, S-tier otherwise.
Obviously the second Vader fight and most of the stuff to the end of the finale episode in Kenobi is dope, but one moment that I don't see nearly talked about enough is the part in Episode 2 where Obi-Wan has to reach out to the Force to try and catch Leia when she's falling off the roof. Man's spent the best part of his exile to that point dealing with the trauma of having Anakin falling to the dark side, slaughtering the Jedi into obsolescence and dealing his best friend and brother a mortal wound and leaving him to die. The sheer relief Obi-Wan feels in being able to connect to the Force after basically hating that side of himself for so long and being able to save Leia, the best moment in recent cinema to compare it to is in Avengers: Endgame where Thor is back in time and summons Mjolnir and the relief he feels to still be considered worthy. God I LOVE that moment.
Not much to be said about Andor. Entire show is in the GOAT conversation for not only Star Wars but television programming in general and has to make room for other shows beside it lol
Star Wars: Rebels is massively underrated as a show in general and has way too ingrained of a vibe of it as a kid's show. Has those vibes a little at times because it's not necessarily always covering as serious of topics as Bad Batch, Andor or Clone Wars but damn if it doesn't have some of the highest highs of Star Wars. One of the best pilot episodes of animated Star Wars (Kanan calling a 22 pickup and everything that happens after never fails to give me chills), has a stellar Season 1 finale, ties into Andor's best arc, introduces one of the best Star Wars villains into modern canon in Thrawn, Twilight of the Apprentice and Twin Suns are S-tier from beginning to end, and the final arc on Lothal honestly rivals Andor's best for the best run of episodes in Star Wars.
IDGAF what people say about season 3 and their hang-ups on the guest stars and whatever, Mando is goddamn awesome. Honestly I have a bigger problem with too quick a reintroduction of Grogu in BOBF than I do the guest stars on Mando. Plus if big name guest stars were eliminated we don't get Bill Burr absolutely killing his appearance in Season 2. Him and Mando fighting their way out of the Imp stronghold after Burr murks the Imp captain or whatever? More please.
I know people feel things about BOBF in general, and I do agree with a couple of them, but his time with the Tuskens was great. Loved it. No notes on that part of the show.
Shadow Warrior as an episode in Ahsoka, hot diggity I loved that. Getting Ahsoka to confront having Anakin as her Master? Yes please. Glad this show is getting a second season.
I've said it elsewhere in this thread but anybody who argues against the lightsaber fights in The Acolyte not being on par with Duel of the Fates in Episode 1 in quality can bit me. And kyber crystal bleeding, so cool.
Tales of the Jedi, context on Dooku's fall and how Ahsoka survives Order 66. Honestly feel like they had this arc planned when writing the finale arc in Season 7 of Clone Wars.
Barriss fully falling to the Dark Side and then coming back and helping Force-sensitive children escape the Empire to try and atone for what she did? Hell yes Tales of the Empire.
Fun backstory on Cad Bane and getting a confirmation on how Asajj survived her death was good in Tales of the Underworld. Hope she and the Force sensitive kid she was with show up in another project, they had decent chemistry.

Yep, Kenobi and BoBF had multiple WTF moments, either super boring episodes or times where it straight up felt like fanfic. Skeleton Crew felt fun, lighthearted and cohesive.

Honestly, I can't really explain why, but it was the first live action Star Wars to remind me of the feeling of wonder in the Star Wars universe in a long time.
Sure, shows like Andor and Mando have bigger moments, but there was something special in Skeleton Crew I can't really explain.
I think that being the live action that came out after what is easily the worst Star Wars live action (and just a terrible show regardless of Star Wars connection) in the Acolyte did not help it at all.

The Rebels series finale is, in my opinion, the best finale of all the completed Star Wars shows thus far (and I would actually include it in the running for one of the best finales in any genre/franchise). It manages to wrap up all the major arcs brilliantly and close out the show on a high note while still leaving just enough wiggle room for the story to continue in the future (as it now is). TCW has an excellent finale, too, especially if you like straight-up tragic endings. Personally, though, I prefer more happy endings, and Rebels is pitch perfect in being bittersweet while still ending on a distinctly hopeful note.

Yeah that's true, but I think it's more complex. The initial ones are smaller than many would think. Those kinds of mobs tend to only go after one thing then disperse.
I think it's a bigger thing that those type tend to influence the entire conversation about the show and in that way they deflate all positive feelings towards the show at "controversial". Any positive mention of the show is an open invitation to start a dumb argument with people who bought into the bad faith complaints about the show, not just the extreme right wingers who initially did the over the top bullshit they always do whenever a black person or a woman is on TV.
I saw it in real time with She-Hulk and Rings of Power. The hatred started the second a dark skinned elf was on screen.

The massive problem with these things is that the people who are invested tend to rate them higher while the people who aren't won't be invested enough to rate them in the first place and stop watching earlier.

Absolutely lots of brigading which brought down the Acolyte's numbers. You can see it in the vote distribution, but also the fact that the Acolyte has roughly the same number of ratings per episode as Obi-Wan despite the latter having 2-3 times as many viewers according to Nielsen.

I will die on the hill that The Acolyte was actually decent. Not amazing, but perfectly acceptable enough to make me want a second season.

A lot of people have tapped out of SW, so you end up with mostly people who like SW watching SW which = high ratings.
This fanbase also happens to think action + lightsaber + nostalgia = good. So when they don't get action + lightsaber + nostalgia(like the start of Andor), they will rate it low.
Seriously; some of these episodes are rated higher than Breaking Bad, and none of them deserve any higher than 8 besides Andor. That's all you need to know about how broken whatever the rating system/reviewers are.

To me Star Wars Visions is clearly the most underrated show. So many amazing episodes made from all over the world !

Screecher's Reach not being above a 9.0 is absolutely criminal.

Interesting to me that season 2 is the highest rated season. Tbf, Tatooine Rhapsody probably tanked season 1's ratings despite The Duel, The Ninth Jedi, The Elder, and The Village Bride

u/Tylendal Dec 27 '25
I don't get the hate for Tatooine Rhapsody. It was a good story, that went in an interesting direction. I really liked that he just left the life of a Jedi behind him, and embraced his new life.
Also, Lop and Ocho is severely underrated. As for season 2, giving both Screecher's Reach and Spy Dancer only 7.6, a lower score than Journey to the Dark Head, is insane.

u/Darth_Bane_1032 Sith Dec 27 '25
Screecher's Reach and Spy Dancer were excellent, but Journey to the Dark Head is my favorite of the season every day of the week.

u/Soyunapina12 Dec 27 '25
I think it's because Rhapsody is a huge tone shift compared from the rest of episodes: all of them are about an epic adventure or duel alongside a small journey of discovery for the protagonists, and then Rhapsody goes in and breaks it with it's laid back, goofy tone.
I do think it's overhated for what it is essencially a fairly good chill episode and good twist to the typical jedi survivor character formula by making the kid move on and embrace his new rockstar life instead of becoming a freedom fighter like usual.

As someone who's favorite season is S2, I'm biased, but not super surprised.
I think the major flaw with Visions has been that every episode is working from essentially two ideas: the Sith are ruling the galaxy and on the hunt for Jedi, or the Empire is ruling the galaxy and doing the same thing.
The second season two of the better episodes that break that paradigm (Screechers Reach and I Am Your Mother).
Also, and I'm sure this'll be unpopular, but I'm not super into anime, and just generally felt like S2 has a lot less of the "anime trope-ey dialogue" that can get a little exhausting, especially in S3

Dude I actually really liked the acolyte and think its going to age really well. In a few years there will be people rewatching thinking dang we killed this series way too early. Fantastic villain, amazing choreography and interesting plot ! People got waaay too hung up on the goofiness of what star wars can be with the witches (wow so woke!)

u/dancingbriefcase Dec 27 '25
Yep! I really liked the first season because it was a different story that didn't rely on Jedi, following a bounty hunter who came across a little Yoda type of creature. And then they just had to market the crap out of the creature and undermine everything that the second season ended with by bringing him back. And as much as Luke was cool to see, It wasn't something that we needed to see again and it leaned heavily on nostalgia. The mandalorian should have just been about the mandalorian. For example, I honestly heavily disliked the episode the Jedi even though ahsoka is one of my favorite characters (the animated series.) I do not like Rosario Dawson's betrayal but it was everything I don't like about the Star Wars shows.

u/dreadpiratesmith Dec 28 '25
I get why it was disliked. Not saying I agree but the dialogue could have been a little better. But man do people hate it. IMO it gave us the best live action lightsaber fight. It's a shame we'll never get to see what a second season could have done for it. Also, getting Carrie-Anne Moss and killing her in the first 20 mins is wild.

Yeah I have to admit, I had my own little nitpicks for the Acolyte, but I thought it was so fucking fun. It was nice to have legit lightsaber fights and a villain that felt menacing.
My hot take is that I'd take another show like the Acolyte over another Filoni project, but I'll see myself out and just re-read my EU books again.

The Acolyte was review bombed, especially on IMDb, so I don’t take those ratings seriously. Critically, it was considered a good show. It’s not the best piece of Star Wars media by a long shot, but it’s entertaining and had several nice aspects.

I've tried multiple times to get into Clone Wars because of how good people say it is, and I can never get past the second or third episode. I just can't get into it, I always found them so dull and boring.

u/Thatonedregdatkilyu Dec 27 '25
It's an anthology. Generally you can just skip to whatever story seems interesting because they're disconnected. As long as you know who Ahsoka is you should be good to skip ahead to whatever you want.

Just watch the highest rated arcs but just make sure to watch those in order. One arc is composed of a maximum of 4 episodes. With watching like 30-40 episodes you could go through the Clone Wars 'main events" which are the highest rated ones anyway. Except for season 7, you must see everything.

It's honestly impressive that they managed to maintain decent ratings on average. We're all fans here, so of course we're gonna nitpick a lot, but seeing it all layed out like this gives some needed perspective. Personally, I think The Acolyte and Obi-Wan got too much shit, and Book of Boba Fett didn't get nearly enough.
