See, there’s the OG Clone Wars, that 2D animated series from 2003. Genndy Tartakovsky’s jam. Think *Samurai Jack* but with lightsabers. Super stylized, really impactful, and *man* Obi-Wan was a badass. I personally think its way better than the 3d one tbh. You can probably find bits and pieces of that floating around online, although getting a *completely* legit viewing experience might take some digging.
Then there’s *the* Clone Wars, the one that everyone usually talks about. The 3D animated show from 2008. It spans like, a bajillion episodes, fills in all the gaps between *Attack of the Clones* and *Revenge of the Sith*, and honestly? It’s good stuff. It’s where Ahsoka Tano, Anakin’s padawan, became a fan favorite. You can catch it on streaming services, I’m pretty sure Moviefone will point you in the right direction. I think Disney+ might be your best bet.
But wait! There’s a *movie* too? Yeah, sorta. The 2008 Clone Wars series kinda kicked off with a feature-length film. It’s basically just a few episodes strung together, but hey, it counts, right? Think of it as a really long pilot. Honestly, if you’re gonna dive into the show, just start with that “movie.” It’ll give you the flavor of what’s to come.
Honestly, figuring out the *exact* viewing order for all of Star Wars can give you a headache. But if you’re just focused on the Clone Wars era, you’ve got a couple of options:
1. Release Order (kinda): Watch the 2008 “movie,” then dive into the seasons of the 3D animated series. It’s a pretty safe bet.
2. Chronological Order (if you’re a masochist): There are guides online that tell you the *exact* chronological order of the episodes. But honestly? It’s not *that* important. The story flows pretty well even if you watch it in release order.
