Right, well back in the day when "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" initially came out, I managed to sit through two seasons before giving up on the series. Why? Well, as much of a "Star Wars" fan as I am, then the animation and art style was just a bitter pill to swallow, and I never really been a fan of the Clone Wars era in the "Star Wars" universe.
So I put the series to rest back then, but had to return to give it a second chance in 2021, as many people said that it got better with the later seasons. So I endured and sat through it. And true enough, you actually just have to get past the first one and a half seasons, then the series actually starts to pick up and improve greatly with each season. And especially seasons 6 and 7 were quite phenomenal.
There are many, many different story arcs throughout the seven seasons, some with greater appeal and contents than others, of course. As it was to be expected from something running for seven seasons. So there is a great that that "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" actually holds something for just about any one in the audience.
And I have to admit that I am glad that I returned to re-watch this and give it a second chance, because I was definitely missing out on a great many things, despite it being set in the Clone Wars era. And I also have to say that "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" definitely put Darth Maul in a whole new light for me. I didn't like him one bit when I saw him in "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace", but "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" brings so much story to his character and really flesh him out - pardon the pun - to be a much more interesting character than what you see in "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace".
Sure, the animation and art style used in "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" still is something of an acquired taste, but I came to bear with it. But it was by no means something that would win me over if it came down to that.
The series delves greatly into the different story arcs for a great many characters, with the likes of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, Count Dooku, Padmé Amidala, Cad Bane, and even clones such as Rex and Cody. Luckily and thankfully the abysmal clown known as Jar Jar Binks wasn't an overshadowing character in the series, as he didn't have that many appearances.
"Star Wars: The Clone Wars" is definitely worth spending the time to sit down and watch. I happened to binge-watch all seven episodes over a course of a couple of days, and I was greatly entertained.
My rating of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" lands on an eight out of ten stars collectively throughout the seven seasons combined.
