I enjoyed it, all my friends (Y2K era babies) were into this show and we used to play Clone Wars battles at recess. It was the Star Wars of our generation.
Fuck Disney Wars.

I dunno, I watched all the way through recently as an adult and thought it was pretty good. I have no nostalgia for it (I have nostalgia for Star Wars in general but I'd only just grown out of it when Clone Wars started) and yeah the first season's pretty rough - in fact it really didn't get good until partway through season 3 but once that happened it was genuinely pretty good. I can see why people who grew up with it revere it so much. Plus it's just cool to see the final bits of Lucas's Star Wars since the guy's super imaginative and weird and that's kinda missing from the modern Star Wars stuff, that spark of madness or inspiration or whatever the fuck you wanna call it.

Nobody cared if it retconned the prequels a little bit because the prequels weren't very good on their own. The Clone Wars redeemed the prequels.

Nah I rewatched them recently. They're not THAT bad. Attack of the Clones is genuinely a bit boring in places and Jar Jar is a bit much but other than that they're alright. Not quite as good as the OT and I totally get why they letdown people back in the late 90s/2000s but divorced from all that they're not that bad.
I still don't like Hayden in the role though. Maybe it's just me but he comes off as being legit awkward.

If you count the hours, Filoni has written and directed more Star Wars that any other contributor to the franchise, and it's by a wide margin. He is Star Wars.

Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith are decent. Attack of the Clones is bad, not unwatchable, but not good.
The Clone Wars show made the prequels, but especially Attack of the Clones, more interesting by expanding on the actual Clone Wars.

I wouldn't say more interesting. It works as it's own thing but it feels incompatible with the Clone Wars because in addition to Ahsoka just never being referenced in the movies even though logically she would be, Anakin is an entirely different character.

>Yeah so actually Anakin had an apprentice the entire time that was never referenced or mentioned in any of the movies
So? She didn't have to be referenced or mentioned. Qui-Gon Jinn wasn't referenced or mentioned in the original movies either. Characters also exist, live, and talk outside of what is shown to you in the movie. Their lives don't suddenly stop when the camera isn't rolling. Nothing ever said or implied Anakin couldn't have one. The only pre-requisite for having an apprentice is being a Jedi Knight. In A New Hope, Obi-Wan himself said, "I was a Jedi Knight, the same as your father." And in the same scene it was established that he had a pupil. So, logically, there is nothing to say Anakin, a Jedi Knight, couldn't have a pupil of his own, too. There was a reason why an apprentice was assigned to him.
>oh and Obi-Wan and Grievous fought a bunch of times before, Grievous was talking like he was introducing himself when they fought in ROTS for fun I guess
Grievous is arrogant and cocky. Common theme with the Star Wars villains.
>oh and Darth Maul is alive lmao
So? Sith surviving injuries due to the Dark Side is an established feat. The story and development Lucas gave him in the show was some of the most compelling we've seen.
>yeah this shit was disney tier.
Nah, yer dumb.

Oh yeah that's mostly my opinion too but there's enough good stuff in Attack of the Clones to save it from being a total bust. But yeah, the rough bits (mostly the romance) are really fucking rough.

The only movie she would have had a chance to be referenced in is Revenge of the Sith and it doesn't seem that odd that they wouldn't be chatting about her every day. She was Anakin's former student when he was doing Jedi shit, there was more important stuff on the characters' minds during the events of the movie.

I get not chatting everyday but it feels jarringly odd that such a pivotal person in Anakin's life would be completely absent when all these events are happening. And again Anakin's character in TCW feels totally different from how he's written in the movies.

Also if you end the series at season 5 (where the show ended on cartoon network) the last episode is Ahsoka leaving the order and Anakin. If we assume Revenge of the Sith takes place a few years later it... kinda works. It's still a bit awkward and a bit of a blatant retcon but it still mostly fits.

>Anakin is an entirely different character
That's patently false. We see Clone Wars Anakin plenty of times in the movies. In the show, he is shown in the context of fighting a war, being in his element, being a hero and a leader, and being forced to clean up his act due to having to look after someone else. Whereas the movies are mostly about his lowest points, and he is mostly struggling in them due to the death of his mother, and then visions of Padme's death. Those lowest points that happened years apart don't determine his entire behavior as a character. This is a silly notion. This is not what was shown even in the movies themselves. Just as we see plenty of "lowest points" Anakin in the show, too. Character is defined by character traits, flaws and characterization. And those are the same. Anakin is described as a hero and a good friend, and everyone around him was shocked to find out that he fell. And that's what Lucas showed us.

Oh I'm just talking about stuff like the battle of Geonosis, the speeder chase, some of the stuff with Obi-Wan playing detective, even all the stuff where Anakin goes after the Sand people and his mother was pretty good. But yeah I know what you mean. One of the romantic scenes was so awkward I legit had to pause and take a break. The other two prequels were alright though, other than Jar Jar but even then he's just grating more than anything - turn him down by like 30% and he'd probably be alright.

This is how I saw it. It's a little awkward but who really cares? It fit decently enough to "make sense" and we're talking about the Star Wars prequels anyway where they already did weird shit like having Anakin build C-3PO for some reason. You could suspend your disbelief easily.

Not exactly. Clone Wars was the moment people realized they were watching children's entertainment and that by proxy Star Wars was always Disney coded. They just didn't realize it until it was explicitly shown to then in the form of that which Star Wars always aspired to be - a kiddy flick.
The true point of no return was the Nigerian.

Oh yeah and besides some of the stuff with uncle Owen in the original movie is a bit off when you watch it in chronological order anyway. Cause while Lucas did have the idea to do at least one prequel before making A New Hope he really hadn't come up with any of the backstory for uncle Owen and whatever he did come up with is pretty different from what's in Attack of the Clones. Star Wars has always had that problem, it's nothing new.

dunno, even when he was normal Anakin didn't really seem like the same guy as he did in TCW. I honestly prefer his Clone Wars characterization since it makes his fall more tragic but it's impossible for me to reconcile them as the same guy. Maybe it was Hayden like

I prefer the prequels over the original trilogy. The original trilogy is not bad at all; it's amazing. But the prequel trilogy is so fun to watch. I love the characters, the action, the lightsaber battles, the memes; everything. I don't understand the hate the prequels get. You can tell George put his heart and soul into it. Disneywars, on the other hand, is terrible corporate slop.
