I stand by your side on this matter. While expressing this might lead to a flurry of unpopular downvotes, I've consistently believed that integrating animation into a canonical series alongside live-action films is a misstep. These two mediums attract distinct audiences.

Two days ago, I would have agreed with you. But, I watched the ten or so episodes from Clone Wars and Rebels that were listed.

I watched these in this order. The first CW episode wasn’t great (S5 E20), but once the four episode arc began I was absolutely hooked (S7 E9-12). The dialog was not the typically choppy and overly emotional cartoon variety, but was on par with that of any live action production. The story was tight. Aside from the obvious cartoon appearance of human characters, the visuals were solid.

At this point, I don’t really have plans to go watch the rest of the series. But I will say that I too was skeptical of watching 11 episodes of a cartoon, and was proven wrong.
