However I think with The Clone Wars it’s just worse overall. The story is all divided up into arcs and it’s a sort of anthology show that jumps around in the timeline and doesn’t focus on any particular narrative thread. If you have a bad arc then it’s a string of 3-4 episodes that all go down. If you have a good arc it can get ruined by a boring episode in the middle. You don’t just skip episodes, you skip whole characters like Jar Jar and Padme. There are a bunch of episodes that focus on side characters who aren’t particularly interesting, and you’re just waiting for Obi Wan and Anakin to come back.
I didn’t see all of TCW, but what I did see was basically an above-average Saturday morning cartoon. I can’t understand how people say things like “it fixes the Prequels” when the show is not even targeting the same demographics necessarily. And the Anakin character is basically a completely different character.
I have mostly negative things to say about TCW. I never really appreciated the animation style. The show’s quality is frustratingly inconsistent. However, one major positive thing I can say is that in the final season (released under Disney ironically) there is a 4 episode arc at the end that is just really high quality writing, in my opinion. We see Order 66 from Ahsoka’s isolated POV on a malfunctioning Star Destroyer. It was really well done, even if it does go off the rails a little bit at the end. I was actually surprised at how good it was, and this made we wish that Order 66 was depicted more like this in Revenge of the Sith, focusing on the isolated POV of a single Jedi (probably Obi Wan) as the clones around him suddenly turn on him, and later he makes the horrifying realization that it’s a Galaxy-wide phenomenon happening off-screen.
