    @Amy22 He is adorable haha! I really really want to watch the Mandalorian but first I want to watch all the other series in order, just to get some backstory you know. Finally started watching the clone wars recently and I got to say I've been enjoying it so far.

    Also happy revenge of the sixth! ;)

    I really recommend it, the world of star wars is just so intricate and huge! Its pretty much the only series I'm actually interested in watching haha.

    Happy belated Star Wars day to all! Watched all the films, but haven't yet gotten around to watching the shows yet. Recently heard that they have a couple books out and apparently they're a really good read, has anyone read them?

    Happy belated Star Wars day everyone!!

    I have recently got into Star Wars and @JJLemon18, I am now on the last season of clone wars!! I just don't want it to end - the whole thing just ties up so many loose ends from the films and gives so much context, I just love it.

    How far are you through the clone wars? :)
    ♡♡♡
  • JJLemon18JJLemon18 Community Champion Posts: 2,061 Boards Champion
    That's awesome @Gemma! Yea, the clone wars era has to be my favourite in the star wars universe!
    The last episode I watched today was the weirdest so far haha.
    Its the one where Ziro gets murdered by this weird looking thing xD this series is so confusing sometimes. Its season 3 around episode 10 I believe.
    Also you said you got into star wars recently, how did you watch so much already?? :o
    Any favourite episodes before this point? (I don't want any spoilers for the later ones)
    Believe in me - who believes in you
  • GemmaGemma Community Manager Posts: 1,138 Wise Owl
    @JJLemon18, oh yes that is a slightly strange episode - they are a very weird character!

    I managed to watch it all in the last couple of months somehow!

    Ooo I've just had to look up the episode titles to try and remind me - they all blend into one somehow! I have a few favourite episodes or arcs, but I think most of them are after S3ep10. I liked the Clone Cadets episode (S3 opener) which you'll have seen - I like how we start to really get to know some of the clones from this point on which makes us really see them as individuals and not just clones.

    Oh and I love the droids, any episodes with them as centre or going on little missions themselves, are the best haha! I love R2 so much <3 So I liked the R2 Come Home episode in S2. Coming up for you (I think S3 ep18) - The Citadel, is definitely one of my favourites too.

    My favourite arcs are at the end of season 6, and especially the final arc at the end of season 7. No spoilers but it is some of the best writing in the stars wars universe in my opinion and is just beautifully done. :)

    It can definitely be confusing sometimes. My partner loves star wars so I'm lucky he can answer all my confused questions, ha! Do you have any favourite episodes so far?
    ♡♡♡
  • JJLemon18JJLemon18 Community Champion Posts: 2,061 Boards Champion
    @Gemma My favourite episode so far is S2ep11
    where Ashoka learns the lesson of patience from the older jedi master (I can't remember his name lol). I really hope there are more episodes with that guy later!
    But also one of my favourite moments was in S1ep12
    where Anakin, Obi-wan and Dooku are all captured and tied together haha. That was hilarious.

    And yea I agree, the episodes with the droids are just the best! And yes, I loved the R2 Come Home episode! It kinda reminded me of home alone lol, but its R2 defending from bounty hunters. The clone cadets episode was also great!

    Can't wait to get to season 6 and 7 now. I'll also remember the upcoming ep18... :)

    @JJLemon18 just a question to ask - as someone who's only watched the movies but wants to watch the TV shows, what's a good one to start with? Is it better to go through them in order of release date, or were there any that weren't worth watching at all?

    @Azziman I have honestly no clue. Just got into them recently myself. Personally I'd watch them in order of release date as that is technically the intended order. I'm not sure if there are any not worth watching, but I know there are a couple obscure ones that might not be that important. I myself will try to watch all the big ones. In time at least.

  • GemmaGemma Community Manager Posts: 1,138 Wise Owl
    @JJLemon18 you are reminding me that there are so many great episodes of clone wars! I loved those ones too - Ahsoka has to be one of my favourite characters :)

    Ha that is true that episode is like home alone!! Love R2 <3 Do you have any fav characters?

    I have just started the Rebels series, and loving that too. Having to get familiar with the animation though which is different to the animation in clone wars. Takes a bit of getting used to!

    @Azziman I have jumped a bit all over the place in terms of watching the additional tv stuff, but I was told I needed to watch the clone wars before the second season of The Mandalorian so that's really why I started it. But I think the clone wars is just the best series and really fills in that gap between the 2nd and 3rd movie :)
    ♡♡♡
  • JJLemon18JJLemon18 Community Champion Posts: 2,061 Boards Champion
    @Gemma I had to recap myself too haha. Ahsoka is great. I watched an episode recently where she seems to look a bit older with different clothes and a second lightsaber! I'm so curious where its from. Also I hate how mixed up in the timeline the episodes are, I'm just watching the next episode and then I'm like "wait, didn't that guy die like 10 episodes ago??" which is so confusing sometimes.

    I'm not sure I have any fav characters yet, I guess it'd have to be R2 and C3PO. But so far a new character that I liked the most has to be the old jedi I talked about from s2ep11! I wish I get to see him more in any future episodes.

    I watched a few episodes of the rebels many years ago but I can't remember anything beside the main cast of characters. I didn't notice it had a different animation style, I recall it being very similar if not the same. I'm really curious about it now. I'm guessing its best watching the rebels after the clone wars?

  • JJLemon18JJLemon18 Community Champion Posts: 2,061 Boards Champion
    @Gemma ooh, literally the next episode I watched is now my favourite! Nightsisters. I watched this one on tv many years ago and its the episode that I remember the most vividly, its definitely my favourite now. Also the series is getting pretty interesting now...
    Believe in me - who believes in you
  • GemmaGemma Community Manager Posts: 1,138 Wise Owl
    @JJLemon18 I totally feel you on that confusion when they decide to jump back in time!! It is a very complex series =)

    I noticed a difference with the Rebels animation compared to Clone Wars, I think it might just be a different art style but I'm probably being pernickety as it's not that much different haha. Definitely I'd recommend watching Rebels after the Clone Wars!

    Ohh yesss the Nightsisters!! That is a very good episode, meeting Mother Talzin! Her voice echo is v creepy
    ♡♡♡
  • JJLemon18JJLemon18 Community Champion Posts: 2,061 Boards Champion
    @Gemma I've watched The Citadel and it was cool but I wouldn't say it was anything too special, I did like it though. However the 3 episodes before that one were definitely something special... they made The Citadel look like a boring episode haha.

    Alright, thank you, I will watch the rebels after :)

    And yea, I think they put way too much voice effects on some of the characters. Mother Talzin was sometimes just painful to listen to xD
    Believe in me - who believes in you
  • GemmaGemma Community Manager Posts: 1,138 Wise Owl
    @JJLemon18 haha I didn't want to say but I like that episode because
    R2 gets to become a commander and lead those reprogrammed battle droids, think it's so cute he gets to order them around :3

    Definitely the end of season 6 and the final arc of season 7 are 100% my favourites though

    That is true, Mother Talzin is a strange one!

    Have you watched the Kenobi series? It's a mini-series, only 6 episodes and I actually watched it before the clone wars - it is set 10 years after Revenge of the Sith following Obi-Wan living in exile
    ♡♡♡
  • JJLemon18JJLemon18 Community Champion Posts: 2,061 Boards Champion
    @Gemma Ooh I don't know whether I should see the spoiler, does it spoil some future episode?

    And no, I want to watch them all in release order because I'm worried they might reference something from earlier series. Is it good though? Sounds kind of boring haha.
    Believe in me - who believes in you
  • GemmaGemma Community Manager Posts: 1,138 Wise Owl
    @JJLemon18 ah no it doesn't spoil future episodes, it's just what happens in that one episode so I put a spoiler on it for others :)

    Haha it is veryy good... it is about Obi Wan re-discovering his connection with the force and Anakin. Would 100% recommend watching when you get round to it!

    Hope you're doing well <3

    Hey @Gemma (sorry to keep bothering you). Just wanted to say that yesterday I've watched the best set of episodes so far!
    The ones where the squad of astromech droids go on a mission together. Mid of season 5
    Based on what you said before I assume you really liked these few episodes? xD

    @JJLemon18 ahhhh D Squad!!! <3 This is definitely my favourite arc from the first 5 seasons!

    I really wanted to mention it before but I couldn't, it is so cute seeing them go on their secret mission and they met Gregor too :O

    (You're not bothering me at all btw I love talking about Star Wars haha) - you're making your way through it swiftly!

    Also @Amy22 that toy is unbelievably cute I might have to get it

    @Gemma Yes D Squad haha. I knew you liked them!
    Wait, was Gregor from a previous episode? I can't remember. I'm horrible at remembering names, had to search up which character was called Gregor. Also didn't remember that their name was 'D Squad' :lol:

    Oh yea, we're going fast! Every time an episode ends, me and my brother just look at each other and go "alright, just one more!" Finished season 6 yesterday haha. I've been given a lot more answers than I had questions, I'm so confused...
