Don't let the childish animation fool you. This series does an excellent job in building off the Star Wars universe.

To be fair I must point out that the first season is a bit weaker but gained momentum towards the end. Lets start with the cast: They truly have won me during the show over and I like the patch work family style. We have Hera Syndulla who is the captain of the Ghost and team mom. Kanan Jarrus is a former Padawan who survived Order 66. Sabine Wren is a Mandalorian warrior and skilled artist (Maybe close to an obsession). Erza Bridger who was a scoundrel or con artist. Garazeb Orrelios who is the muscle of the team with a more complex character than it seems. Finally we have the droid Chopper who enters the list of great droid characters in Star Wars. The crew has a great dynamic, good chemistry and enjoyable quirks that result often in interesting situations. It ends not here as the other characters are good too. There is of cause our favorite grand admiral, the inquisitors, the remarkable agent Kallus, Saw, Wedge, Hondo who became one of my favorites and many more. The show has such a great enjoyable cast that I can only praise them. Story: Each character has individual story arcs and development. The longer the show goes the more you learn about them. The main story is about the struggle of the Rebels in fighting the Empire which has by far the superiority in manpower, firepower and resources. There will also be a lot of philosophical themes and moral dilemmas without easy answers. In total there are a lot of strong stories, believable character developments and lots of memorable moments. The strengths are that the story and characters are really good interwoven. For details you can read my reviews of all seasons here on Metacritic. Presentation: Visually the show looks really good. It has my favorite art style. All characters look great and the animations fully cover the range of emotions. The battles are intense and immersive be it duels, firefights or space battles. You can see that a lot of effort was put into the show. The soundtrack is remarkable good. It enhances the atmosphere and is praiseworthy too. Overall this was an amazing show I truly enjoyed and can recommend. If you want more details and a list of my favorite episodes you can look at my season reviews.… Expand

This show is not on the same level as the Clone Wars, not even close. But it still holds up well. As someone who wasn't a fan of Clone Wars' anthology story, I greatly prefer the overarching plot shown here as it is a lot more focused. EachThis show is not on the same level as the Clone Wars, not even close. But it still holds up well. As someone who wasn't a fan of Clone Wars' anthology story, I greatly prefer the overarching plot shown here as it is a lot more focused. Each season has two clear cut antagonists. Season 1 had the Grand Inquisitor & Kallus; Season 2 had Vader & the other Inquisitors; Season 3 had Thrawn & Maul and Season 4 had Thrawn & Pryce. The protagonists didn't change much as the show went on, it was mostly just the Ghost Crew, which meant that their story could be fully fleshed out in this one, singular series. The crew is as follows: Ezra, Kanan, Hera, Sabine, Zeb & Chopper. And the only other major characters besides that are Ahsoka and Rex, so the story stays simple and has a lot of freedom as a singular story.

However, the characters themselves aren't as good. Sabine's average, and is just a walking advertisement, to be honest. Zeb simply doesn't need to exist and is just Chewie but has way too much to say. And Ezra's honestly awful. He has *some* things going for him, but if anything good exists in this show, Ezra's there to ruin it somehow.

I know a lot of people don't like the art style, but I think it's fine. Not incredible, and I prefer how Clone Wars looked, but it doesn't bother me.

You should probably give this one a shot. It's aimed at kids, but it at least tries to break that 'kiddy garbage' barrier to please everyone. If I was to describe it in one phrase, I'd definitely call it a good show, with a lot of flaws.

Kiddy show garbage, don't even think about watching it. Watch Clone Wars instead.

A very interesting series, which goes improving every season (and even with every chapter). A excellent succesor of The Clone Wars. Dave Filoni has made it again.

Season 1 is definitely a slow build but with solid main characters and a decent season-long story arc, It makes for an enjoyable show. It still has quite a ways to match the quality of CLone Wars but it's getting there.

It's cast, while certainly flawed, is, for the most part, likable, and a lot of the additions to the Star Wars universe introduced here are certainly welcome. However, the caveat to this is the show's tone and relative simplicity. Whiplash is certainly prevalent here. One second, you'll have an "edge of your seat" scene with Maul fighting the inquisitors, and the next those same Jedi-Hunters will use their buzz-saw lightsabers to fly away like a helicopter. Many of the show's deeper ideas are also fairly underwhelming, which is disappointing, considering how it's predecessor nailed this aspect. Overall, not too bad.… Expand

This show ended in a great way and really builds up towards something that in my opinion is much better than clone wars.

Hera and Kanan are the only good characters of the team, all the rest are trash. This is bad kiddy show garbage.

This is bad kiddy show garbage. Not saying kid shows are bad, but this is one of those shows that is made for kids that have mental problems that like garbage like this, not intelligent kids.
It's a boring not inspired repetitive piece of filth that adds old Clone Wars characters so you get interested to watch it. But 90% of the time the episodes are boring as hell till you get to the exciting 5 minutes that are ruined because you have all this new terrible characters filling up space.
The villains are weak as hell, they are bad because plot, not explanation on what happened to them or who they're. All new characters are a waste except for the 2 mentioned above and Kallus. The Animation is bad, the models are bad, you can tell this show is very low budget. The fights are not good, the camera angles are terrible.
This series getting 7.4 user score is a demonstration on why democracy doesn't works. Lame ass losers that like this show should be put in jail. They are the reason we'll continue to get trash like Star Wars Clone Wars Season 7. What a joke of a season, what happened with old Clone Wars? That was dope, this new **** it sucks.… Expand
