I have to be honest… I’m not a huge fan of the animated series. I’ve not seen much of Rebels, but now that I’m close to the end of the Clone Wars I have to agree with the sentiment that less than half the stories are worth watching - and most of those are focused around fleshing out the rushed development of the main cast of the PT. Characterizing the clones normally were the best episodes.
But… it also brings actual magic into canon along with the force, the bizarre Mortis arc that is just bizarre, dramatically raises the power levels to even beyond the PT, and really dilutes the Jedi Order.
