Star Wars: The Clone Wars Does Not Hold Up (Part 1) : a 2 hour YouTube video from Sheev Talks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PwWUgh9lbb8
The video not only talks about The Clone Wars, but also touches on Lucas and Filoni, the underwhelming Prequels, fans claiming that the animated material improves the PT, fan perceptions in general, characterisations in TCW and other animated stories vs characterisations in the films. Plus many characters not really evolving over the series’ run. It also features several arcs from the TCW series, some very popular stories with fans, and why they may not hold up, and the number of logic issues within.
There are also a number of ideas to try and improve the series, and ask questions why certain characters and events a feature in TCW so fleetingly or are not given the opportunity to shine.
Yep. 2 hours. I know. Although the video is balanced, it isn’t your average toxic YouTube video or hate filled FDM $$$ venture. It highlights the positives of TCW where relevant, there are many insights and overall they are well thought out and argued, even if you personally may not agree with some of them.
Sheev Talks states this video took around a year to complete. Going on the insights, research, and the depth covered in the video, with the length too, I believe him!

He is also the guy who did this significantly shorter video below on Dave Filoni, and along with a few others recently did a highly satisfying takedown on Star Wars Theory’s claims:

“Dave Filoni is a personal hero of mine, having written some of my favorite stories of all time, but that doesn’t mean he’s without his faults. Before you immediately dismiss me and go back to worshipping the ground he walks on, I ask that you hear me out.”
Ahsoka and the Crimes of Dave Filoni : a 67 minute YouTube video from Working Jellyfish

“Well … this is awkward, but not unexpected. Join me on a deep dive of the Ahsoka series as we explore the crimes of Dave Filoni. Get ready for some salty criticism.”
(I don’t agree with his issues with TLJ or the so called issues with “feminist agendas”, though when the focus is on Filoni and Ahsoka it does hit the discerning and perceptive spot. To me, anyway.)
Just a handful of “deep dive” long form videos highlighting a number of the issues with some of Dave Filoni’s work.
