Please try this order:
- Despecialized Original Trilogy
- For newcomers or veterans who haven’t watched the prequels in a while, something that shows why the prequels suck
- The Force Awakens
- Star Wars Rebels
- The to-be-released Star Wars movies when they are released
blablabla
Aren’t you off topic ? There are many other threads to whine about the PT and how they are the worst thing that happened to humanity since Hitler, and this is not the point of this thread (and I’m still stying to figure out what’s worse: seing a “little boy” Vader in TPM or the main protagonists of the OT looking like old hobos in TFA…). Anyway, let’s stay focused on topic.

So: I’ve watched the complete GCI series a few month ago. I wasn’t very convinced by the show, which is way too long, hence a selection of what to watch and in what order can be quite useful indeed. I’ve selected 35 episodes based on their quality and material that feed Anakin’s turn and that bridge the PT to the OT (Chewie’s very good cameo, Tarkin’s episodes, Anakin is a cunning warrior and a good friend, etc.) and to “Rebels” (the best of Ahsoka, the best of Maul). I have also kept a few comic episodes with 3PO and R2, none with Jar Jar, and I’ve “deleted” almost everything involving pointless developpements (Mandalore, Maul and Mandalore, Count Dooku and Grievous fooling around, etc.). Here is my best of list, that ends with the 4-part Ahsoka-centric (the best way to finish the show) :
01 (2.16) - Cat and Mouse
02 (1.16) - The Hidden Enemy
03 (1.02) - Rising Malevolence
04 (1.03) - Shadow of Malevolence
05 (1.04) - Destroy Malevolence
06 (1.05) - Rookies
07 (1.06) - Downfall of a Droid
08 (1.07) - Duel of the Droids
09 (1.09) - Cloak of Darkness
10 (1.19) - Storm Over Ryloth
11 (1.20) - Innocents of Ryloth
12 (2.17) - Bounty Hunters
13 (2.05) - Landing at Point Rain
14 (2.06) - Weapons Factory
15 (2.09) - Grievous Intrigue
16 (3.02) - Arc Troopers
17 (3.10) - Heroes on Both Sides
18 (3.12) - Nightsisters
19 (3.13) - Monster
20 (3.14) - Witches of the Mist
21 (3.18) - The Citadel
22 (3.19) - Counter Attack
23 (3.20) - Citadel Rescue
24 (3.21) - Padawan Lost
25 (3.22) - Wookie Hunt
26 (4.06) - Nomad Droids
27 (4.19) - Massacre
28 (4.20) - Bounty
29 (4.21) - Brothers
30 (4.22) - Revenge
31 (5.01) - Revival
32 (5.17) - Sabotage
33 (5.18) - The Jedi Who Knew Too Much
34 (5.19) - To Catch a Jedi
35 (5.20) - The Wrong Jedi
As an “Episode 0” I would add Tartatovsky’s “Clone Wars” (everything from the start to Anakin being knighted) and as “Episode 36” the rest (Anakin and Ben going on a mission that happens to be Anakin’s last trial while Grievous conducts the attack on Coruscant), so all the Ahsoka rise and fall story arc would happpen between these two main events.
By the way I wouldn’t watch it within some kind of weird Machete Order. And if you hate TPM so much don’t bother to even only watch the threesome saber fight, without the context of why these characters fight I don’t really see the point of watching it.
