We have just the one standalone episode to discuss today, but it is an interesting one! A fun mix of Star Trek TNG and horror vibes for the first half of the episode, followed by some accelerated character growth for a side character who ends up having a much larger role in the future. Let's jump in!

What we initially thought was going to be a forgettable two episode arc turns out to be a very solid adventure, with interesting new characters and a fun pair of morals. The first wonders about the difference between caring and becoming attached, and the second asking the question of which is right: fighting evil with violence or pacifism at all costs. Let's jump in!

Our first smaller, two episode arc of season one, and it's a decent one. Not the strongest by any stretch, but with some fun dynamics between big characters and the introduction of a new character who turns out to be one of our long term favorites. And there's even a Jar Jar episode that isn't spoiled by his antics! Let's dive in!

We're back after our long holiday hiatus! We came into this arc with low expectations at first, and ended up pleasantly surprised! In particular the third episode of the arc is very good considering how early it is in the first season. Let's jump in!

We start off strong with one of our favorite standalone episodes of Season 1, Rookies, before cratering in the middle with Downfall of a Droid, an episode which truly could have just been a narration blurb insert in the third episode. Duel of the Droids actually seems to work better as a standalone episode than it does as the second part of the arc. Let's jump in!

We arrive at a stretch of Season 1 where the chronological order and the release order finally line up with one of the strongest three-part arcs of early Clone Wars. The Malevolence arc starts of strong with some surprisingly dark scenes, and manages to keep a high level of quality throughout parts two and three, making us wish that this instead of the Rotta arc had been chosen for the premier movie event. Let's jump in!

We continue our chronological watch through with an early, formative Clone episode, followed up by two episodes we initially did not even realize were related, both centered around a previously disconnected Toydaria arc. Watching these episodes in order gives a significant amount of backstory to a handful of characters who play important roles later in the series, so let's jump in!

We begin our chronological watch through of The Clone Wars series with two episodes that, on first viewing, seemed completely random and unrelated to everything else surrounding them. Now, with the benefit of chronological viewing, we realize they make up two thirds of the Battle of Christophsis arc, and they benefit substantially from being viewed together and followed by the theatrical release. Let's jump in!

We're back with the second half of our introduction to the Clone Wars, and while we're overall disappointed in the movie itself, we have a lot to discuss in terms of how expectations can sink (or elevate) a viewing experience. Stories can create different expectations just by virtue of being called a movie or a show, and release schedules can also impact those experiences. Clone Wars (and several of the modern Star Wars TV shows) seems to have run into issues with the actual stories not matching the expectations of the medium. Let's jump in!

Somewhat surprisingly, we have never discussed The Clone Wars move that was released in theaters to introduce people to the show on Cartoon Network. Spoiler alert: We feel it was a weird choice to use this particular arc from Season 1 as the theatrical release, when there are at least two other arcs that feel better suited for cinema. That being said, there is a lot to like, especially surrounding Ahsoka's introduction. Let's jump in!
