Just finished Season 7. It's kind of funny how, despite knowing what was going to happen, the final arc was still so much of a gut punch.
Now I am left wondering, for those who have already seen everything, what is the best rewatch order, Clone Wars season 7 then revenge of the Sith, or is it better to watch Season 7 after Revenge?
welp, I am on to watch star Wars Rebels, now. I hope it isn't too much of a let down.

I think you're supposed to watch the second half Genndy's Clone Wars then Revenge.
We are talking about the 3D show. for the 2D one, it's clear you watch the second season first then revenge.
For the 3D show, I think the best order for season 7 and revenge is to watch Bad Batch, then Martez sisters (if you want to), the first episodes of the last 4 of season 7, then the Revenge movie and then the last 3 episodes of season 7.
Watching one doesn't forbid to watch the other. there isn't that much contradictions. Even for the end where the only issue is how Anakin and Obiwan learn the invasion of grievous a bit differently.

If you search around, there are fan made edits weaving The Siege of Mandalore into RotS. I never found a perfect one, but there are still good ones out there.

I enjoyed this 4hours cut of Rots
I don't think it's ideal to mix the two.
Here's how it goes, if you like old EU Star Wars, watch Genndy's show, if you like Disney canon / TCW era, watch Filoni's show, don't watch both because they do not match at all
Genndy volume 1 perfectly matches TCW. And volume 1 is the good one anyway.
>, if you like Disney canon
Not a good indicator, many don't like it, yet would enjoy the TCW 3D show anyway.
I think there isn't even that much contradiction with Volume 2, either. With a few adjustment , both events could have happened concomitantly.
It's funny how Filoni's TCW got associated with Disney's continuity, when it started in the EU.
Was Ahsoka initially planned to appear in Rebels? Did he appearance helped in getting the last season produced?
>Now I am left wondering, for those who have already seen everything, what is the best rewatch order, Clone Wars season 7 then revenge of the Sith, or is it better to watch Season 7 after Revenge?
I'd say the best order would be
>Martez arc (if you want)
>Bad Batch arc
>Old Friends Not Forgotten
>Revenge of The Sith
>The Phantom Apprentice, Shattered, Victory & Death
>welp, I am on to watch star Wars Rebels, now. I hope it isn't too much of a let down.
It's not, trust me. Just don't go in expecting TCW, Rebels is its own show, though it does cover a couple of things left open by TCW.
Not if you take into context everything in the EU, The 2008 show sticks out sorely because how much shit they packed into it, that does not match the shit from 2003 to 2005, from characterizations to timelines
The Clone Wars does not go hand-in-hand with he EU Clone Wars, because Filoni doesn't give a shit about what happened beforehand.
This is why the Disney Era fits it better, because they scratched all that for his show
>because Filoni doesn't give a shit about what happened beforehand.
*George. Filoni
>"That was the way it was from the day I walked into Lucasfilm with him all through Clone Wars, everything we worked on, he felt the Clone Wars series and his movies were what was actually the reality of it all, the canon," Filoni said, "then there was everything else. So it wasn't a big dynamic shift for me mentally when there was this big announcement saying the EU is now Legends. I'm like, 'Okay, well, it's kind of the same thing to me because that the way I work.' What George and I always used to do though is look at what was out there, and you would see characters like Ventress and go, 'My gosh, what a great character.' People love this character. He saw Aayla Secura; He puts her in the film. So there was this great collaborative way where you could take these ideas, but you have to always kind of apply the Star Wars Cinematic Universe of what the canon is to those characters when you translate them."
I'm not saying the Disney Era is good, I'm just saying that the abandonment of the older stuff works better for TCW than it does in the EU, due to the timeline and character issues
Filoni had direct control of the actual show, George had story and creative decisions, but if Filoni wanted something, like Ahsoka to live or make Quinlan Vos more of hippie than a jaded warrior, he would get it
>The Clone Wars does not go hand-in-hand with he EU Clone Wars
The 3D show was also initially EU. And there isn't actually that much contradiction with the 2D show.
It's more that George actually tursted Filoni. Also, he didn't really made Vos a hippy, it's not like there is that much of him in TCW.
Can I get a rundown on George's symbolism with the clone wars? I keep hearing US political allegories towards it but he seems downright dead set on that being the narrative focus for almost everything post the original trilogy. Filoni seems to respect that but obviously there is way more story to tell than just the clone wars.
Yeah I know that it was release during the EU, but things in the show do not add up with the Clone Wars Expansion during 2003-2005, due to Filoni having more free reign to do what he wants while the media during that time was made, for example, Ahsoka has barely any space to be Anakin's Padawan, because he was knighted half way through the war in the EU, while Anakin is knighted apparently two months after AoTC in TCW
>because he was knighted half way through the war in the EU
It's possible to set the start of the 3D show right after that point.
When the 3D show start, they are already familiar with Ventress.
Well with that, Filoni doesn't exactly need to follow the EU, because he was never tied down by that, which is a problem if your trying to make TCW fit into that period
Also, there's some major contradictions in with Vos, the major two is that in Vos at the time was trying to infiltrate Dooku's circle during the entirety of the war, a double agent, to learn who was the second Sith, and his prior established relationship with Obi-Wan was more being old friends, due to their masters being friends themselves, while in the show, Kenobi shows clear contempt, in that he doesn't like Vos that much
>Vos at the time was trying to infiltrate Dooku's circle during the entirety of the war
The way I remembered it, his cover was blown up halfway through the war.
>Half way through the war
Half way through he war, Grievous is introduced to replace Ventress after her failure to kill Anakin, and with that, Ahsoka would have been Anakin's Padawan for only one and half years, which would be lessened because she left the order before RoTS
Even if that is so, "Hunt for Ziro" takes place in 21 BBY, literally the first year of the Clone Wars
Weren't they made friends again in dark disciple?
I want make it clear, that I'm not saying The Clone Wars 2008 is bad, I like parts of it, but in terms of the EU, it doesn't really merge well compared to the clean Slate that Disney gives them later on
TCW, despite starting as EU, was separate from the previous Clone Wars multimedia project and directly contradicts it. It was never meant to go hand-in-hand with it.
Well yes technically, but the book is in Disney canon (2015), and I'm talking of The Clone Wars prior, because there was also a similar reconnection in EU beforehand
Considering 3D begins with Anakin knighted, everyone already knowing Ventress, and Anakin's hair being closer to what he has in RotS than AotC, how exactly does everything up to 's image contradict it?
>starting as EU
Did it? TCW was created by Lucas and was meant to be important to the saga compared to EU which he didn't care much about.
The book was based on tcw arc that was cancelled by Disney.
The show begins two months after Attack of The Clones, that WAY too early for him to be knighted if your taking in 2003 show, which is already confusing, because they due RoTS Anakin for the entirety of the show as you said
Yeah, which is why it would fit into Disney canon even better, because there's already an entirely different story about Vos fate during the end of the clone wars
This series was already ignored before disney, user. Movies/shows aren't meant to fit with EU, it's the other way around.
>to EU which he didn't care much about.
Didn't George used to check every material done in SW and was personally vetting each of them. I thought it was still under that kind of direction when the multi-media project started.
> Attack of the Clones
> First half of Genndy Wars until Anakin ditches the gay ass braid
> CGI Clone Wars + 2008 movie until Ahsoka leaves
> 2nd half of Genndy Wars together with Season 7 of CGI Clone Wars until Mandalore
> Splice together the siege of Mandalore, Genndy War's Grievous kidnapping Sheev, and RotS
Is the 2 month mark specifically mentioned? I haven't watched 2003 since probably after RotS came out.
>because they due RoTS Anakin for the entirety of the show as you said
Well like I said, the bulk of the show is closer to RotS than AotC. Season 7 went full RotS.
>> CGI Clone Wars + 2008 movie until Ahsoka leaves
Well, the CGI movie first, rather.
Not really. He let them to do whatever they wanted (which at some point, he actually regretted it) and mostly ignored them.
Not quite, there's a few episodes in S1 + S2 of the CGI Clone Wars that occur right before the 2008 movie
What was your favorite arcs? For me its Umbara, and the order 66 stuff
