There's so much in this show. Some of it is honestly terrible. Entire episodes and arcs dedicated to Jar Jar Binks, and stupid droid hijinx. BUT there's also a lot of stuff that is purely fantastic. I love the animation, it's so unique and it feels really Star Wars-y. Really often I felt the weight of random clones dying, the galaxy just lost a good soldier, and a good man. It really feels like a war in a lot of ways. Some episodes are just war tactics, and some are based solely on political beliefs. It's really great.
Background Jedi from the prequels are given personalities, stories, characters. I actually know things about them now, rather than just being cool looking aliens. And Jedi we already know, such as Anakin, Obi-Wan, Yoda, etc. are all given more layers as characters. It shows a side of them not seen in the films. And Anakin and Obi-Wan's banter is just as great as it is in Revenge of the Sith. Almost all of the new characters introduced are done so well. Ahsoka has become one of my favourite Star Wars characters so quickly. Her gradual maturity is so great to watch, she fights in such a unique, cool way, and she's also just really hot. I cried a lot during her framed arc. I cried during a good bit of the show. About 7-ish times.
I wish classic Star Wars music played more often, and for longer. At powerful, important character moments, iconic themes start playing but they often get cut short, or don't fully project themselves. S7 is better at this I think. In earlier seasons it's almost trying to hide itself, rather than let it fully burst out in a powerful scene, which is what I wish it did.
Some of my favourite arcs from the show include: Clone Conspiracy, Ahsoka Framed, Siege of Mandalore, Battle of Umbara, Yoda Learns, Obi-Wan and Satine. To name just a few. These are all phenomenal, so interesting, so emotional, and just so good.
This show just has so much to love. Some of it is bad, but that stuff can be ignored. The good stuff is truly some of the best in Star Wars. Each arc can be watched/rewatched as essentially its own film. So many loveable characters are introduced, so many existing ones expanded upon, and so much maturity and death make this show so damn good.
I'm eager to rewatch a lot of it already now that I've settled into these characters more. Such great Star Wars.
