It has been many years since I watched the Clone Wars. I do not remember where I left off, but coming across this felt like I could start over again and watch a more streamlined and higher quality version.
I will start with the spreadsheet. The editor put in quite a bit of effort to have it organized. I found it very generous of him that he provides different recommendations for how to watch these. I personally went with the “recommended” method of watching these. I liked the inclusion of version numbers, length, and when they were last updated. I am someone that likes to see good organization because that typically (but not always) means good quality.
The only minor issue I had with the spreadsheet, which is excellently put together, is that I at times lost track of the line and had to keep scrolling back and forth left and right on the page to figure out where I was. It could be beneficial to cut and paste the right portion of the spreadsheet to a new sheet in order to minimize the clutter on one page. However, the editor should obviously do what works best for him because other than that I have felt his work has been great so far.
Thus far, I have watched the prologue and season 1, episodes 1 - 5. I cannot comment on changes he made as I have no recollection of specific details of the episodes besides general information.
Starting with the prologue, this was the only episode that I found awful. I do not blame the editor, but I was not impressed when I saw the Jedi flying along with 3p0 walking around in disguise for no reason. It definitely felt like this was something meant only for very small children to watch and appeal to nobody else. I understand why he included this intro - as we get to see Grievous, Ventress, and Anakin become a Jedi knight to set up the actual series. I think the editor should include a warning very similar to his episodes 1 and 2 about powering through this if someone does decide to watch.
As for the actual clone wars series, I like the opening for every episode, but even more importantly, the use of introductory text. It really allows the audience to understand what is happening right at the get go, rather than having to watch the first few minutes confused and possibly never figure out what is happening. Confusing the audience always = bad idea. Besides, Star Wars should give us the ‘opening crawl.’
I disagreed with the editor describing the first 2 episodes as weak. I did not find them to be good, but they seemed okay and passable as opposed to my personal animosity for the prologue. They were definitely watchable in my estimation.
I found episodes 3 - 5 to be very solid.
Overall, I did not notice anything out of place visually nor with the audio in what I watched so far. This is a comment from someone who is a non-editor, so somebody else might find something out of place.
