Hi! I’m currently at season 2 episode 4 and I’ve been enjoying a lot the series so far. It truly is a refocused of the original series, your edits make it feel more like a seasonal series with a real progression in the story and the character development. It still feels like an anthology but with more sense and not just stories scattered like the original. I’m really a fan of the text introductions, helps a lot to fill the voides between the episodes.
My thoughts of season 1:
Best episode: S01E08 Children of Night. Great pacing, it didnt feel like a very long episode.
Best editing: SO1E09 & S01E10. Very well done season finale, the intercuts of the different stories where great. Nothing felt out of placed, I’ve seen the original episodes and I can say that it works much better the way it’s presented in your edit, without all the Ziro stuff.
Could be better: S01E01 The New Padawan. I know the episodes (and movie) based off where bad but the first minutes felt disconnected from the rest of the episode. I loved to see the Ventress Introduction but it felt so quick and unncesary for the rest of the episode. Maybe for a future edit it could be well to add more context or scenes for that.
As I said, im currently at season 2. Im not done with the season but i must say that the S02E03 is the episode I havent enjoyed as much from all the series so far. This episode does feel like a combination of a lot of things that dont intertwined perfectly. Like, why the intro says that Ahsoka is secreatly teaching in Mandalore but in the rest of the episode everyone knows. And suddenly Padme doesn’t appear without explanation and then comes to show again for the ending scene, which felt unnecesary to me. I think is the episode that most need of a re-edit (at least till this episode which is the last one i saw)
Anyway, the series its very well done, Im impressed with all the work, improves a lot the structure of the clone wars, and some episodes that were bad originally but with a good plot were improved with your edit. Looking forward to see what comes next for me in the series.
P.S. English is not my mother tongue. Sorry if I made some mistakes in my review. Btw, the english subtitles for the series has helped me a lot, thank you all for that.
