I am writing this review now after the show has ended with the seventh season. And all i can say is wow...
I am so glad that I started watching this show, not only because it is fantastic on its own, but it also improves the prequels greatly.
I mean I have never hated the prequels and I actually like them, because I grew up with them and I still remember beeing 8 years old and seeing Revenge of the Sith in theaters which was just mind blowing for me back then.
But back to Clone Wars. I must admit that the first two seasons are not that good as the rest of the show. They are more kid friendly, the animations werent that good during this time and some of the plot lines werent that fascinating. But still, the first two seasons had their moment. Season 3 slowly started getting better and as soon as season 4 started, I could not stop watching the episodes. I got so hooked on it just binged through it.
But what makes Clone Wars so good? It simply expands the Canon, it gives us more information about the world of Star Wars, the Force, and a lot of characters who didnt get the opportunity to shine in the prequels get now the treatment they deserve Characters like Captain Rex, Kit Fisto, Padme, Plo Koon, Mace Windu, Ki-Adi Mundi, Jar Jar, Grievious, Count Doku and a lot of others now get a real personality or are getting improved. And of course Anakin, the Chosen One. He is the one who profits the most of Clone Wars. I get why a lot of people dont like him after the Prequels, but now... He is an amazing character in the show and you cant stop but love him. He gets so fleshed out that seeing him turn to the Dark Side is even more painfull now. And the Clones in general. In the movies they are more like mindless soldiers but now they all get a personality and they are beeing developed into fascinating characters and we get now quite a lot different clones which are all different and you simply fall in love with them. We also get a new look on older characters like young Boba Fett, Obi-Wan or yoda which is nice. And what was really important to me, we get a closer look on how Palpatine was able to manipulate the whole Galaxy and rise to power.
We have amazing plot lines that spand over multiple episodes. Some of them focus on politics and palpatines rise to power, other focus on the clones and are like a Vietnam war movie. There is something for everyone.
On top on all of that we also get a lot new characters which are brilliant. First of all of course new adorable clones and most importantly. Ahsoka Tano, a character which I love. I dont want to take to much away, but there are really so many new characters which improved the universe and were responsible for many great plotlines. And also one of my favourite characters rises up from the dead and I jumped up with tears of joy when I saw him...And he ist not even wasted, but due to him we get some of the best Star Wars Storys ever, especially in the new season 7.
And if we are allready starting to talk about season 7. The first few episodes were ok. nothing special... But the last four episodes of Clone Wars are killing it and are some of the best Star Wars moments ever. And watching Episode III now feels like a totaly new experience which hits way harder then before.
I could endlessly go on and on about why I love Clone Wars, but I think I made my point clear. So I would definitly recommend this to every Star Wars fan who wants to now more about the world and the characters. You wont regret it
