So for these seasons I’m gonna give the overall story and tell u a handful of important episodes and tell u need characters each seasons introduce….also will be pointing out how dark this series is…
Clone Wars Season 1: ok its odd for season 1 there’s barely a overall story …each episode are individual……I should probably warn u the episodes for this show is not in order….this show is a anthology series…so alot and I mean alot of episodes are our of order….if u want to watch them in correct order then look up on internet the correct order….or if u just want to watch it the way its laid out on Disney plus…then thats an easier way to watch this series…..for the first 2 seasons its kinda tame….I say kinda….because in season 1 we do see a jedi getting shot…up close and dying…..we see a guy getting his neck snapped……we also see um well a guy dying from an arrow getting tossed into his spine or back…..so some violent moments sprinkled in…..but overall this season is kinda tame…not bad don’t get me wrong….just tame… granted this season has good Lightsaber fights and I have a handful of scenes in this season that I really love re-watching…..oh right I should now mention important characters that gwt introduced. Um there’s only 2 characters….in the last episode called hostage crises….BTW a filler episode….we gwt introduced to a new bounty hunter named Cad Bane…and my god is he epic…..he is menacing looking and every time he’s on screen he has a evil Demeanor about him….it might have to do with his crimson red eye balls or his cowboy hat he wears or his menacing voice or his sharp teeth….or it might be he’s one of the best bounty hunters…..then we get introduced to Aura Sing…..keep her in mind for season 2 and season 3…also keep Cad Bane in mined for seasons 2 and 3 and 4….sadly he isn’t in this show that much….so overall I’m gonna give season 1 a solid 8/10….oh also we get introduced to a pirate named Hondo ….he somewhat friends with kenobi and Anakin….after he kidnapped them and count dooku and held them for ransom…..in the first season….he appears thought each season ….so quite a bit
Clone Wars Season 2: so this is when the show starts getting dark….in this season there is a 2 part episode that shows zombie parasites, on the planet of Geonoises…also we see the zombie parasites entering through the clones noises…..my God those 2 episodes were dark…also when they enter though the persons nose….we um see something creepy….the person starts shaking rapidly and screams a bit in pain and there eye balls role back into there head…briefly…..so yeah ur welcome for that imagery…..fair warning those 2 episodes can and probably will scare young kids…in these 2 part episodes we get introduced to an apprentice named Barris….and her and Ashoka become friends…also in this season we get introduced to the mandalorians ….so a little backstory…..the mandalorians use to be proud warriors who protected mandalor….until the new leader named Dutchess Sateen…..took over and changed roles to becoming peaceful and not believing in violence, they cut themselves off of violence and war…so now the mandalorian warriors that are left, who are ruled by there leader Pre Vizla….are part of a group called the death watch…and to put it bluntly the death watch are like a terrorist group and there trying to regain mandalor……they try to do that by gaining the help of count dooku….oh and also Pre Vizla has a sword called the dark saber…..its a old Lightsaber from the old republic….whoever wields the sword will be in charge of mandalore…also heres the scene when we first see the death watch…let me know what u think
…so yeah in this season we get introduced to thr planet of mandalor…and the mandalorians aka the death watch….we also find out Obi-Wan us to date the dutchess….thats right Obi-Wan who follows the rules of the jedi…use to date….and he still has a bit of thing for her…..and so does she…although they argue alot….also in the last 4 episodes we see young Boba Fett as a kid and he teams up with Aura Sing to help him kill Mace Windu….for killing his father Jango Fett…..dun dunnnnn….he also gets the help of another bounty hunter named Bossk….his first appearance was in empire strikes back…..just for a few 3 seconds…..but now he appears in like um 4 to 5 episodes in this show….about 4……also Boba Fett tries killing Mace Windu by tricking Anakin and Mace Windu to pick up his father’s helmet he put down …he knew they pick it up and which will trigger a bomb he put in the mask….long story short the mask broke in half….keep this in mind for when I get to my review on mandalorian season 2……ok so by the end of this arc….they arrest Boba Fett….ok again a great season…im gonna a give this season a solid 9.5/10
Clone Wars Season 3: oh boy this is when the series officially stops being for young kids…this season is questionable for kids….this season tone is darker and more brutal deaths in mt opinion…..oh and there are scenes of people getting drunk at bars……so in this season here’s the highlights……early in this season….there is an episode where Ashoka protects Padme because she has a vision of Padme getting shot by a unknown shooter….she later finds out the assassin is Aura Sing…..and of course we find out near the end of the episode that zero the hutt hired Aura to kill Padme….because she’s the one who locked zero in prison…..also in this season we get introduced to a group of witches called the night sisters….who is run by a witch named mother Talzan…..and we find out that Assaj Ventress use to be a night sister…..so after count dooku tries to leave Ventress for dead because his boss palpatine told him to kill Ventress ….uh huh….because he thinks count dooku is training her to kill him…..lovely…..so anyways now she wants revenge on count dooku…so she returns to the night sisters…and they come up with a plan…oh side note we see a back flash and we see Ventress was taken away from the night sisters as a baby….by a criminal group….then he got found by a jedi and was trained to become a jedi….….then after her jedi master died ..count dooku decides to train her…..ok back to the revenge plan…they send Ventress to a area of the planet that has a group called the night Brothers….night brothers…night sisters….yeah how original…..and guess what…the night brothers are the same alien kind as Darth maul…..….so she recruits a night brother named Savage Opress….and she brings him back with her…and he is kinda normal human size and has muscles…but then they use their witch craft on him and he ends up with more muscles and becomes like 6 feet and 2 inches tall….so now he’s a brute….and his first task is to chock his brother with his bare hands….don’t worry they brought his brother with them so they could have him do this..
And this scene is brutal…I mean he chocks his brother to death with his bare hand…….here ill show u guys the scene let me know what u think
Ok if ur wondering what other details about
Savage Opress….well instead of him being colored black and red…his skin color is yellow and black….also he has long spiky horns on his head……see all night brothers have horns on there heads…..so anyways they send him to count dooku and he then sends Savage on his first mission to recapture a temple that has 2 jedis down there and tons of clones fighting against robots….um well….ill let u guys watch this scene….its hard to describe
I’ll try my best to describe it…..he comes out of his ship with just an axe and in a brutal scene…he slaughters though the clones and droids with his axe…don’t worry we see pieces of there armor flinging off and we see them getting tossed in the air, from the amount of force he’s using to slice them with his axe……this scene is great yet brutal ….if ur wondering how strong he is….um he kills 1 jedi knight and a jedi apprentice like it was nothing…..oh joy….also I really like this comment I found….this is a great comment because it points out a flaw in this scene….after u watch that clip of Savage Opress attacking the temple….read this comment specifically….this way u will know what this guy means
“Brilliant tactical work by the Jedi and Clones here. Surrender the advantage of ranged weaponry immediately by running and kneeling right in front of your foe without firing a shot (0:31) and instruct your troops to follow suit. Then, surrender your numerical advantage (0:46). Then, to epitomize your brilliant strategic thinking, use none of your considerable telekinetic powers after losing your primary melee weapon (0:51) in favor of pitiful hand to hand combat against the same enemy who possesses muscle mass too thick to even feel it, leaving yourself vulnerable enough to be brutally slain, leaving your padawan alone to face him with no strategy (1:02). Truly the Jedi were the godly being history made them out to be T_T”
….so anyways to skip a bit, later in a episode later Ventress teams up with Savage and go up against count dooku….they both fail to kill count dooku…and then Savage turns on both of them, because he now thinks Ventress betrayed him…then Obi-Wan and Anakin join in the fight…don’t worry they fight against Savage Opress…..so anyways Savage escapes…and goes back to mother Talzan…and she tells him to find he long lost brother ….Darth Maul ….dunnnnnn…..thats right maul is alive….after he got cut in half by Obi-Wan kenobi all the way back at the end of the Phantom Menace…she gives Savage a necklace that will help him locate his brother…think of it like a compass……. Oh if ur wondering when we will see Savage Opress again…well we don’t see him till the 2 part season 4 Finale….oh and if ur wondering what other dark content we see in this season…well there’s an 2 part episode…first part has Padme going to visit the dutchess….and they find out that someone on mandalor has been buying materials such as drinks from the black market…and well these drinks start poisoning the children who drink it….yeah let that sink into ur head for a bit…..then the second episode has Ashoka come out and they both find out that the prime Minister named Almec….was behind the ordering materials off the black market…again this show can and does dive into corruption….and keep in mind this is a PG kids show…yeah I still have hard time believing that……overall ill give this season a freaking 10/10….this is when the show starts getting darker and better in my opinion.
Clone Wars Season 4: ill start off with saying the episodes I recommend u watch are the first 3 episodes…here’s why….its because its a really good story arc….the whole 3 parts take place underwater in a town called Mon Calamari, also we do see admiral Akbar….u might remember him from return of the jedi…u know……the meme…..its a trap!!…..hehehe…thats still my favorite meme, to this day…..and reason they need the jedis help is because count dooku and the separatists are trying to take over that city…..and count dooku sends down a commander guy who’s species looks like sharks…..get it because sharks are scary and bad guys are scary…….sigh…..so anyways the whole 3 episodes is about a prince is trying to become king after his father the king…was found brutally murdered…but of course the separatists don’t agree ..so a war happens…its a great 3 episode arc….and we find out in the last episode that the commander shark guy killed the princes father…..shocker…..can’t u tell I’m being sarcastic…because there’s nothing surprising about that…..like at all…he was definitely a bad guy and everything about him was evil…so its no shocker he was the one that killed the king…..BTW the prince kills him….in graphic way…before u ask how graphic…well um he explodes the guy….and we see ( and i ain’t kidding) pieces of his clothing falling down to the ocean and then we get a glimpse of his skull with his eye balls rolled back into his head …falling down to the bottom of the ocean….um huh….this is a kids show?…yeah ok whatever u say…..yeah no way I belive this is a kids show…nothing about this yells kid friendly….oh yeah because thats what young kids want to see…a severed skull head floating down the dark depths of the ocean…hm pleasant…im sure young kids won’t get any nightmares at all 🤦♂️……also in this season we see the death watch again….this time a guy named Lux Bonteri….who use to be separatists….ok so Ashoka met him and his mother in season 3 ….In that episode she finds out not everything is all black and white….she finds out the separatists use to be good people…and that Padme is friends with Lux mother who is a separatists….she also finds out the separatists they fight against…aka count dooku and the Droid army….are um well extremists, so anyways in this season 4 episode he gains the help of death watch to kill count dooku for killing his mother…long story short Ashoka tags along and we now in this episode get introduced to a new mandalorian named Bo Katan….she doesn’t take her mask off till season 5, oh if ur wondering how brutal this episode is…well we see the death watch burning down a village….good god..highly recommend this episode…moving on the next episodes I recommend are episodes 15 through 18….its an arc where Obi-Wan fakes his death then disguise himself as a bounty hunter to go to prison to gain access to a prisoner named Moralo Eval…..he is planning to escape with Cad Bane to um kidnap the chancellor….he has been hired by count Dooku…..long story short…Anakin finds our Obi-Wan is still alive…the council didn’t want to inform him he was still alive…because of how close the both of them are….so anyways…..they dave the day and the chancellor…..honestly I recommend giving those 4 episodes a watch there worth it……also watch episode 4 …its the closest the good guys have gotten to capturing general Grevious… granted watch all the episodes but those in my opinion are worth the wild….oh were not done yet I forget to mention earlier in this season we get a 3 part story arc where Anakin and Obi-Wan and Ashoka end up getting captured by a slavery group….uh let’s just say these episodes were dark…..we see them whipping the slaves….no seriously….I ain’t kidding….this is a kids show…..so basically we see the slaves being whipped and tortured…how…….lovely…
So anyways to continue….in this episode we get what I call great foreshadowing….Anakin senses a disturbance in the force …and he tells Ashoka…she asks him if he recognizes who or what it is…and he says no…but all I know is…it feels familiar………so anyways a bit later in episode Savage Gordon to a junkyard planet and finds an alien worm…who leads Savage into a trap that leads him down to a tunnel of garbage where his master is…..we find out who the worms master is….its Darth Maul…..yesss…he’s survived…and he has mentally lost it and has no legs…instead his legs are now a giant pile of metal in a shape of spider legs…..yikes…..and of course he’s lost his minds he’s been down there for decade’s…..and the only thing keeping him alive is his anger and rage for wanting to kill kenobi!!!….by the end of episode Yoda informs Obi-Wan that maul has returned ….so episode 22…has Obi-Wan Savage bring maul to mother Talzan…and she uses her magic to make robotic legs for maul that look very similar to general Grevious legs. .and she restored his mind back to sanity…(or whatever he would call sanity)….so Savage gives him back his cut in half Lightsaber….and they go to a planet and kidnapped the towns folk and he sends a message to Obi-Wan and guess what….during his recording he um just down rights decapitates the towns folks…so Obi-Wan goes alone to face against maul…he gets captured ..and Ventress goes and helps…thats right Ventress goes and helps….yeah usually they’re both on the separate teams and fight…..this is a first…then teaming up… so in this battle against…maul and Obi-Wan and Assaj Ventress and Savage Opress …..its epic…but seriously….maul taunts Obi-Wan…and we see Obi-Wan struggling a bit with the dark side…just a tad bit…he is clearly angry…at maul…..so episode ends with Ventress and Obi-Wan barley escaping….overall I’m gonna give this season a solid 10/10….I just adore this season…there just maybe 2 episodes i don’t like…but thats common in this series
