I'm apparently way behind on just learning about it. Finishing it up soon and it's been really good. Is Rebels just as good? Seems like resistance is a shite-sandwich like TLJ.

Rebels is really good, it just has a different feel than Clone Wars.

Clone Wars feels like any age could watch it, while Rebels felt a bit more kid-friendly.

Any big SW fan should watch both though.

Rebels is very good overall, though it swings from very high to very low. It includes some of my favorite Star Wars moments (i.e. season 2 finale) but also a lot of wasted filler episodes.

Rebels isn't quite as good IMO, but it is still very good. Clone Wars was just phenomenal. The latter half of Rebels is definitely its best run. If you like Clone Wars, you'll like rebels.

There is a fun fan theory that this most recent Clone Wars animated series is all propaganda pieces done by the Republic/Jedi to frame the narrative of how good they were during the war, while the original Clone Wars series was a more historically accurate depiction of both sides being a bit in the wrong at times.

Binge watching Clone Wars has been so far my favorite experience on Netflix.

Felt like I just forgot Earth existed and that's where I actually live. It was a grand, an absolutely grand adventure and an incredible story to tell with deep characters. It was some truly amazing star wars to watch and really captured the feel of the original trilogy.

When I finished and came back to Earth, I just felt empty and hollow.

It really did a hell of a job of making the prequels make more sense and have worth in their place in official canon.

Is this the 2003 series or the 2008 series? I've never seen the 2003 one but really liked the 2008 one. Which is better?

Rebels is okay, but something about it annoys me. Can't quite put my finger on it.

The entire 2003 series is on YouTube now.

Season 1 of Rebels was very bad. It was like Disney wanting to pander to kids and sell toys.

Then they started telling great stories. The finale was top notch.

I'm also late to the party after hearing nothing but positives and I just watched the first two episodes last night.

If I'm being honest, I'm struggling with it. I find the dialogue, especially between the droids, to be clunky at best and cringeworthy at worst. It's like a bad kids show on Nickelodeon. Is this how it is the whole time?
