I have a really weird memory of the Zilo Beast arc from SW.com as well. Before I commented actively I would still check the episode guides every week, sometimes leave a comment here or there, but wouldn't go back to check if anyone replied to my comments.
Anyways for the Zilo Beast arc I remember someone on one of the season 2 episode guides posted a leak like 3-4 weeks before the episodes actually aired on TV so I watched both of them early and watched them again on tv later

Really though, it took them half a year to subtitle TCW and air it in the Netherlands... And I first found out about TCW just after season 2 finished airing in the US, so once I finished season 2 and I would have had to wait a long time for season 3. Also, back then I wasn't sure if I could understand English well enough to completely follow a series. And at first I did miss some sentences at times, but I think it is the reason my English is decent now. Your English is so good now it’s hard to believe it’s not your first language. Well thanks. It's because I use it a lot I guess. 6+ years of German lessons and I still cannot speak it properly. I mean, I can understand it, but that is just because it is similar enough to Dutch. But I never use German so I never got better at it. Memorizing words or grammar rules doesn't make you understand a language. Using it does. So I learned through RuneScape, TCW, and then SW.com and the Ambush Games. I will admit that on SW.com I had to use Google translate every once in a while because people used words that were new to me. Now it is more often the other way around, as I don't know the Dutch translation of some English words.  I rarely speak English though, so my pronunciation is horrible. It's like my mouth just cannot do it. Really weird.  |

Pinda yeah I guess Citadel Rescue theme and the Clones theme are memorable for me but still not in the same way as the Movies or Rebels tracks that I've been thinking of. It's not the same, I don't hear most of those tracks you posted and immediately place where they belong to honestly. The title of the track is mainly what gives it away. I searched them from memory, so to me they were definitely memorable. I have a thing for soundtracks though. But you cannot deny that at least the Death Watch theme and Savage's theme are memorable too. I love the hell out of listening to soundtracks. Movies, games, there's so much I've heard and yet I've never bothered listening to TCW's music whatsoever. Thank you for making me plan on changing that  |

You could only find attempts by people to mute the other audio. |

Most folks here simply assume you guys know it well enough, but I prefer to get an answer from someone who's actually from there for more accuracy |

Oh and Lightsaber Lost I remember that one... we were traveling to a city 5 hours away for a soccer tournament on a Friday and I knew we would be too late for the 6:30 PM showing of the new episode so I ended up jsur barely making it to the hotel in time for the 9:30PM showing and well... that episode sucked.
But about 6 weeks later we had another tournament and this time it was just my dad and me and we watched the premiere of Cat and Mouse in the hotel room and ROTS came on right after

Saves me the frustration of finding anything and having to settle with poor audio. |

But I cannot say how well the average person speaks it. I hope this does not sound arrogant, but the Dutch education system kind of segregates people based on their learning skills from a pretty early age. And I am at the top education level. As a result of that I mainly interact with well-educated people. And those are all pretty good at English, you kind of have to be to get a degree at an university actually. But only 10% of the population goes to university. I am not sure if the less-educated population would have similar English skills. I would say though that (again not trying to sound arrogant) my English is probably above average. Most people don't use English as much as I do though. |

The only time I actually remember watching an episode was Witches of the Mist. I was really excited for that episode and I tried downloading it as soon as I got up that morning. But I also had an appointment to get my hair cut. So I wanted to watch the episode before that, but the download took a while... I couldn't wait to watch it though, so I ended up having to leave halfway through the episode. Which kind of annoyed. Other than that I do not remember much.

Not when you're simply following the course of a superior education system compared to our hopeless version It actually sounds like a good way to go about it, since it easily allows you to talk with people who will probably be more on your wavelength if you get my meaning. |

Honestly I think season 1 is a little underrated. Had some very enjoyable episodes for me and they did a lot of world building right at the start. Also the Slave and Mon Cala arcs I think are underrated as well. Overshadowed by stuff like Citadel, Mortis, Umbara, Maul etc lol
And I might have to say season 6 is my least favorite season... But maybe if it had all the originally intended episodes my opinion would be different. And I remember being super hyped about the ARC troopers premiere

Actually kinda surpsied you have Onderon as your season 5 favorite. Though I guess I can understand it, not everyone really likes Maul episodes that much or think he should even be in the show to begin with. I also always thought the Ahsoka arc in season 5 was overrated and I was just sick of seeing Ahsoka by that point. Although the opening sequence of the Ahsoka arc on Cato Nemodia is really cool. Also just wondering did your opinion of Kenobi change over time? I mean just by your name I thought he would be your favorite lol Also if you are talking about Anakin vs Dooku in TCW movie then yeah that counts TCW movie counts for all of this, maybe I should have mentioned that I always think of the movie as an extension of season 1 though, just another arc really |

And I remember being super hyped about the ARC troopers premiere Slave arc is good imo, although as a followup ro Umbara it's hard to top I guess. If I recall they did something really stupid with the slave arc at release as well and showed us the first episode and then saved the other 2 for after the holiday break which was dumb IMO |

Yes, that is true. The differences between education levels are not just education based, they also have different kinds of people. It is a decent system, though it does make it harder for groups of different education levels to understand each other. Currently the main divide here is considered the one between well-educated people and poorly-educated people. They seem to fail to understand each other properly. |

From the Ahsoka arc I only really liked seeing Coruscant and the starfighter scene. But idk maybe I need another rewatch. My opinion on Onderon might change.. And yeah idk I really liked Anakin's portrayal in TCW. I'm not sure maybe he's my favorite Jedi now... hmm |

I'm not sure maybe he's my favorite Jedi now... hmm I struggled with putting Kenobi over Anakin as my favorite Jedi... but then I was thinking and well a lot of the best episodes feature Kenobi more prominently in some regards. Like the Deception arc or the Maul season 5 arc. And he's usually always in the Anakin episodes with him. Not entirely certain what episodes Anakin is in without Kenobi, pretty mediocre ones come to my mind first. |

Those scenes where Maul forms the Shadow Collective are amazing. Idk it almost should have been two episodes IMO. Revival should have been a standalone since it didn't relate much to the other 3 anyways. And then cut down the Droid arc to 3 episodes and you still have a 20 episode season |

Okay, even though it's before the rewatch I'll give this list a go. Episodes: Favorite Episode (Season 1): Trespass Favorite Arc (Season 1): Ryloth trilogy Favorite Episode (Season 2):Landing On Point Rain Favorite Arc (Season 2): Mandalore trilogy Favorite Episode (Season 3): Witches of the Mist Favorite Arc (Season 3): Mortis trilogy Favorite Episode (Season 4): Brothers Favorite Arc (Season 4): Dark side arc (not sure if Massacre and Bounty really connect to the other half though) Favorite Episode (Season 5): The Lawless Favorite Arc (Season 5): Maul arc Favorite Episode (Season 6): Sacrifice Favorite Arc (Season 6): Yoda arc Favorite Season Premiere: Revival Favorite Season Finale: Sacrifice Favorite Standalone Episode (Entire Show): Trespass Favorite 2 Part Arc (Entire Show): Grievous duo Favorite 3 Part Arc (Entire Show): Yoda trilogy Favorite 4 Part Arc (Entire Show): Maul arc ---- Characters: Favorite Jedi: Qui-Gon Jinn (it counts ), or Quinlan Vos (One of the core reasons for rewatching Hunt for Ziro) Favorite Clone: Echo Favorite Bounty Hunter/ Underworld Character: Embo Favorite Droid: Huyang Favorite Separatist: Dooku Favorite Other Hero (Not Jedi or Clones): Does Ventress count? Favorite Other Villain (Not Separatist or Bounty Hunter): Maul Favorite Movie Character: I'm tempted to say Yoda, but (like he did in the prequels) he lacked the goofy, loveable personality he had in Empire, so I'll say Qui-Gon Favorite TCW Character (Ones who made their first appearance in the show): Embo Character you think was most expanded/ improved upon in TCW: Maul ---- Specific Topics: Favorite Reoccurring Planet/ Setting: Mandalore Favorite One Episode (or Arc) Planet/ Setting: Lotho Minor Favorite Ground Vehicle: Clone Turbo Tank Favorite Ship/ Starfighter: Jedi Interceptor Favorite Ground Battle/ Battle Specific Episode or Arc: Second Battle of Geonosis Favorite Space Battle/ Space Specific Episode: Cat and Mouse (it's sort of a shame how most space battles felt so copy and paste at times) Favorite Lightsaber Fight: Maul and Savage VS Sidious Favorite Character Development Moment (Entire Show): Ventress actually having a conscience in Bounty. Favorite Scene (Entire Show): When Sidious challenges Maul Favorite Music Track: The Lawless Favorite TCW Legacy Project (Things released after the cancellation like Story Reels, Books, etc): Dark Disciple ---- Other: When did you start watching TCW: As soon as I saw the movie in August. What did you enjoy most about TCW: Seeing Maul hitting the ground running when he made his return. A part of me will always think it's jumping the shark and that he's "meant to be dead", but it doesn't change how much presence he had on the show. Favorite Memory from TCW: Watching the season 5 trailer. I watched that more than a few times, let me tell you What are you most looking forward to with TCW Revival: The Siege of Mandalore. Although I would very much love to see Son of Dathomir, Dark Disciple and the Bounty Hunters storyline get their fair due. |
