Might be a bit unrelated, but in your spreadsheet, you say “Ambush” is terrible. Tbh I don’t really get it. It’s not a masterclass episode or anything but it’s fun to see Yoda get to be jovial and bond with some clones. I don’t really see what makes it terrible.

My Star Wars Fan-Edits
That part’s the good bit. But the core of the episode is a weird wager between Yoda and Dooku that trivialises both sides, the setting is janky, and the animation is the show’s worst. It gives us nothing of importance to the wider plot of the clone wars.
That said, that’s just my subjective analysis of the likely consensus feeling. You’re welcome to disagree, and naturally to incorporate this episode in your watch through!
Super interesting
I do have two minor nitpicks for this edit. Before that, I must state that your recommended order is the best way to watch the material (excluding the Mortis arc, which was something I never liked and no edit can fix that in my view). A truly magnificent masterpiece.
1-8
5: 38 Ventress force chokes both Anakin and Kenobi simultaneously. I would cut this out. This level of strength and power is never seen by any Sith lords in Sidious, Vader, and Dooku. She should not be able to overpower both of them. She is also injured, which makes her show of strength stand out.
Maybe consider trimming some of the duel. She really should not be able to easily hold off both Anakin and Kenobi.
5-4
35:27 Ahsoka’s force strength prevented Maul from leaving in the ship. She only failed to stop him because she had to save Rex. This is too much power for any force user. We rarely see this accomplished in the Star Wars universe, and was never done successfully.
In ESB, Yoda slowly moved an unmoving ship. Should Ahsoka have more power than Yoda? The other instances this happened, as I recall, were with the inquisitors in Rebels, who failed, and Vader in the Kenobi show who failed due to distraction as well. This creates continuity issues.
I know trimming it out would minimize Ahsoka’s heroics pertaining to Rex, but at this point in the show her heroic nature is well established.
Can someone get me a link? Just discovered this and I NEED IT
Received your PM; on its way!
I know its been awhile since you sent me the spreadsheet but we just finished the final episode rn. i personally love it, but i never watched the og for reference. its perfectly paced and ends perfectly. thanks for your hard work. Will u be refocusing the bad batch and rebels?
I will not, though others on these forums have edited those! Really glad you enjoyed Clone Wars, thanks so much for your sentiments!
Hello!
Been a fan of the clone wars and super interessted in the series! Would love a link tho watch your work!
Regards Roland
Please fire me a PM and I’ll sort that for you.
Will you be adding the ‘Bad Batch’ Clone Wars episode to the spreadsheet? At some point
It’s on there. Line 85.
This sounds great! Can you shoot me a message with the spreadsheet?
I’d also appreciate a link to the spreadsheet. I’ve tried watching the original series a couple of times and always get burned out early on…
Fire me a PM please!
Whatever happened to Tales From The Clone Wars? Is an update for that bonus episode still planned, or is there some way to watch an older version of the edit? Unless I’m being really blind right now, I can’t find any links for it where it’s listed on the spreadsheet.
That one got combined into the season 2/3 interlude.
I thought that was Tales of the Jedi and Forces of Destiny? Unless I’m thinking of the wrong episode?
Oh, I see what you’re saying. Looks like I never did upload that one. I’ve added it now, to the Extras > Bonus Episodes folder, and added a link in the spreadsheet.
Folks, not quite a promise as who knows how life goes, but it looks like I’ll have some time coming up soon to put a bit more work into this. Is there anything I’d previously promised, or anything else relevant to TCW, that you guys would like me to prioritise? (For example, minor fixes, extended versions of episodes, etc)
It would be great to have the Padme Funeral scene from Totj in the last episode!
Thank you so much! That’s exactly what I was looking for!
EDIT: Oh! Since you’re asking about other potential updates or inclusions, I figure I’ll throw in what I’d personally love to see, although I recognize I’m likely in the minority on this: Part of what I’d love to experience when going through Star Wars chronologically is a steady build-up to the Death Star, and that begins with an explanation of the Kyber Crystals and how Jedi obtain them. (That’s why I like the Ilum content from CW’03.) So, I personally would love to see a shortened/refined version of the episode where the younglings obtain their Kyber Crystals.
Taking requests… Yes, that you please make your edits more easily accessible either on Google Drive, Gofile, pCloud, or Vimeo 😉

I don’t intend to do this, mainly because it doesn’t pertain directly to the plot of TCW (it more directly follows RotS), and I don’t want to interrupt what I consider to be a flawless ending in TCW’s final episode. Better experience for the viewer is simply watching Tales of the Jedi: Resolve after RotS and the finale of TCW:R. (Which is how I have it presented currently.)

I can do this, I’ll bump the refined version of this episode up the priority list for next to work on, and add it as an ‘extra’ episode alongside other ‘interesting but not vital to your enjoyment of TCW’ episodes.

I’ll host my content wherever is cheapest for bulk hosting. I currently have 500GB of fanedits - happy to take suggestions. Google Drive (free version) isn’t feasible due to some of its restrictions.

I really appreciate that!
