Set in the "dark times" of the Star Wars Universe, you think we would get something a little more grown-up and mature, but nope we get more silly kiddie bullcrap. These elite clones don't know the first thing about simple squad tactics, butSet in the "dark times" of the Star Wars Universe, you think we would get something a little more grown-up and mature, but nope we get more silly kiddie bullcrap. These elite clones don't know the first thing about simple squad tactics, but instead stand out in the open to be shot at and choose to tackle and punch stormtroopers and droids most of the time. The characters are laughably bad; the dumb brute, the smart tech guy, the wise leader, and none of them have the tiniest bit of a character arc. Throw in the inexplicable blond female clone child that adds the "gee wiz" factor to complete the trifecta of stupidity. I have trouble thinking of anything positive to say about this show. As a huge Star Wars fan I just might skip future seasons as it brings nothing new or interesting to the Star Wars universe. P.S. I'm tired of the Clone Wars marionette animation style that is now over 15 years old. Can we try something new?… Expand

every single interview the showrunners gave indicated this would be a show about soldiers; specifically four soldiers with different abilities. they marketed this as a show about soldiers. they gave us a show about a super secret specialevery single interview the showrunners gave indicated this would be a show about soldiers; specifically four soldiers with different abilities. they marketed this as a show about soldiers. they gave us a show about a super secret special little girl and sometimes her soldier buddies come along. to be clear. this isn't about "clone force 99." it's a show about a little girl.… Expand

The show starts out great. Unfortunately you only have 1 episode before it becomes the Omega show. Seems like they’re trying to do the same thing as the mandolorian where the protagonist takes care of a child who isn’t completely helpless. IThe show starts out great. Unfortunately you only have 1 episode before it becomes the Omega show. Seems like they’re trying to do the same thing as the mandolorian where the protagonist takes care of a child who isn’t completely helpless. I feel like maybe I’m too old for this show, which... yeah makes sense, I’m 30. But if you’re going to make canon Star Wars content, make it bearable for all age groups. Every episode since the first is so cringe that I think about turning it off before it finishes… Expand

Transgender Mary Sue Clone Trooper. That's all you need to know to decide if this is for you.

The first episode was just ok. But all the following episodes feel like they were written by KKennedy. Absolute garbage packaged into clone wars animation.

You have bad ass clones, then turn around and give you Omega, another magical super special girl like Rey from the new trilogy. It all about her hidden back story and how she'll impact the whole universe when she grows up. They throw in quick fight scenes, then it's back to Omega. Star wars nods and clone wars cameos to try and keep interest, then back to Omega. This is the Omega series hiding behind the clone troopers title.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My review contains spoilers, you've been warned.

1)Fillers and charachter development(meaning the lacking of it):
Everyone have noticed that the show contained A LOT of filler episodes, but only a few realize that sometimes such episodes can be used to show something new about our charachters and use this time to develop them, to show what they are, what are they thinking etc. But instead of it we got bad jokes, the absence of intresting moral dilemas, and the lack of visible changes in the galaxy(Sure there was an episode with the Confederacy senator but it was so boring and I could feel all that wasted potential for political discussions and the clash of beliefs). 2)The antagonists and the Kamino problem.
As for the antagonists I'd say that they're actions were at least foolish. Why? Let's start with the fact that the Empire decided to show hostility to the Kaminoans right from the start, instead of subjugating them openly and taking full control of the cloning operation or trying to negotiate with them and achieving a certain understanding. Later on they decide to destroy an entire facility(sure they took some of the equipment, but still ain't that wasteful? Of course it is.) The showrunners wanted to show us "the end of an Era" and they did not care how it would accure and look in terms of logic. As long as there were Kevin Kiner's soundtrack, the ruins of something familliar to the viewer and heroes who would say a few sad words the people would weep. Some of viewers probably did but not me, because I couldn't enjoy this choice. In legends there was a REBELLION of the Kaminoans, and the Empire wiped them out the Kaminoans. See? There was a REASON for it. But here? Here is nothing. 3)Cameos.
Alright here we go. I do enjoy seeing an old faces, believe me. But you see there should be a limit for such things. The deserter clone Cut is a good choice. I can understand appearances of Rex and Cad Bane. Since the first one is a friend to many clones, and the second is one of many bounty hunters in search of the bounty. Fennic Shand? Martez sisters? Fennic was good in a Mandalorian, but do we really need to see her backstory here?We-e-e-ell alright I can live with that. But then the sisters...I never liked them. The chemestry between them is an illusion of it, and they aren't interesting in any way. So yes ladied and gentlemen, believe it or not but the galaxy is big and adding so much of the charachters in ONE SEASON ain't really helping. To summarize:

What I enjoyed:
-Soundtrack;
-Omega charachter(yeah I know it's a rare thing);
-Animation.
-Cameo's.

What I disliked:
-no charachter development for most of the main heroes;
-waste of time with the filler episodes;
-foolish villains;
-filler episodes;
-bad choices in writing.
-a great number of cameos.… Expand
