Looking back at some of my rankings I rated season 1 very high compared to some of you and I think that justifies my reviews here. Trespass, Lair of Grievous, the Jedi Crash arc, etc all work cause they are short bursts of content. Imagine trying to make trespass in a 4 episode arc, it just wouldn’t work. Episode 1: Exploring the planet Episode 2: conflict with Talz Episode 3: what separatists show up to fight on some backwater moon? Episode 4: More random battles, idk it’s just hard to think of stuff for a 4 part arc with very little to expand on from episode 1 of that and that’s basically what they did here. Bullshit their way to the end, while some of it is definitely entertaining it’s just the same point for the Jedi kids arc I made that they are taking random ideas from all over the place and throwing them together and forcing them to be a story. Agreed. I think a mix is best. Also having only 4-part arcs leads to not having very much variation and leaves some characters feeling shirt changed. Anakin and Rex barely have any presence in Season 5. |

I might have to watch Onderon next but from memory at least that’s a coherent story and not a random collection of ideas even if it wasn’t the best arc ever. Kind of jumping all over the place right now. Sort of going for worst to best I guess. |

Well I should finish the Umbara arc although that’s also one of my most rewatched arcs of all time thst I could rate those off memory alone.
But I guess my next fulls arcs will be Onderon, Slave and Clovis. Then it’s just the best stuff from there with a slight detour for The Disappeared later on but it doesn’t make sense to watch that until watching the last season 4 arc.

It was interesting to go back and see that one. Carnage of Krell was a bit more flawed than I remembered. |

it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
