So I had no idea until after I finished the series that the series had episodes out of order which confused the hell out of me
One episode was a muder mystery episode and then another episode had the subject of the murder mystery still alive and I just assumed it was a continuity error until I later learned that the episode took place erlier in the timeline

Welcome to the family, boys! This show is probably some of the best Star Wars content in the universe(at least in my opinion, though I know many others feel the same). You're in for the ride of your lives.
As for why the episodes are so out of order... I'm not sure myself, but I've heard people talk about how it was originally meant to be a non-canon anthology or something, and as it grew more and more loved, they decided to make it more canon and consistent. Or something like that, I'm sure someone here can correct me.

You guys are great, try and keep an open mind about all the shows though. Don’t let general perception get in the way of your media enjoyment. But on the other side, don’t be quick to invalidate people’s dislike towards shows - like there are valid criticisms, don’t just put them all in the same mob. Fair and unbiased critique can be good but also bad.

Ah good, the standard “I don’t know anything about Star Wars and am not willing to learn, so I’ll just plug my ears and call everyone who disagrees with me a racist”.
Surely it has nothing to do with the fact that the show creator took characters and concepts that didn’t belong to her, made fundamental changes to them, and then had the gall to essentially rewrite the lore and overall narrative of the prequels so that they fit her show, rather than the other way around. But yeah no, that’s not as easy to excuse, so you better just keep saying it’s a race thing.

according to you, you're pretty out of star wars, and yet this person making an admittedly hyperbolic statement was enough for you to go up in arms to call them out. if it wasn't because you're a fan of star wars, then what other reason would you have for getting so defensive? when, simply put, they called attention to the vocal group calling the show "woke" which is almost always a virtue signalling term for racist bigots, and if they were merely criticising the show for its narrative decisions, what does being "woke" have to do with these poor writing decisions? very clearly, those people were talking about the minority lead.

The Acolyte honestly isn't that bad. Like the prequels, the hate is kinda oversaturated. It's no where near my favorite show, and overall I was a bit disappointed by it. But it had its moments, certainly enough to justify a rewatch from me. Also, are yall gonna do the Sequels and spin-off movies? Whatever opinions people may have, they're all at least enjoyable (Rogue One and Solo especially, though you'll have to wait until after a certain point in Rebels before you can watch Solo because of a heavy spoiler near the end).

Star Wars Resistance IS kid oriented, it has some good stuff in it but it's largely low stakes and doesn't affect much of the larger story. I would say the core shows are all Dave Filoni projects. Which are this, Star Wars Rebels, the Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, The Bad Batch, Ahsoka amd the upcoming show "Skeleton Crew". All these shows have overlapping characters and stories so they feel very intertwined. Tales of the Jedi and Tales of the Empire are also good supplementary material for these shows. Andor is more it's own thing being a prequel to Rogue One. The Acolyte is largely standalone and takes place about 100 years before the rest of the franchise and Star Wars Visions is a completely standalone series of star wars anime and is not beholden to any canon whatsoever, its entirely just for fun.

You guys are definitely going to love this show. The chronological order does get less confusing after season 3 episodes as each season after that is pretty contained with very few jumping around. I am curious to see your reaction to the other movies cause I don't know perhaps you will have different opinions. You'll be watching Star Wars for a long while with all the animated and live action shows out there.

Clone Wars was originally a straight up anthology series when it began, so that's why it's all out of order, it becomes more serialized as it goes into season 3 and beyond
Andrew
2 months
The series (particularly early on in its run) is an anthology about the Clone Wars as a conflict, so they jumped from interesting battle to interesting battle, but not necessarily in the order those battles occurred. Think of it like a series on World War II where one week you'll get an episode on D-Day, and then the next week they tell you a story from Pearl Harbor even though it happened earlier. The episodes (or multi-episode arcs) are generally self-contained enough that it doesn't matter which happened first. Gonna leave it there because further explanation about how the series progresses could get spoilery.
Personally, I kind of prefer release order, because some characters have their "introductory" episode -- where the audience gets what was designed to be a first impression of the character -- after their first chronological appearance. So on a chronological watch, you'll see a character that the story of the episode obviously expects you to recognize, but you've never seen them before and have to figure out their deal is from context. Then several episodes later you might get that same character's proper introduction, but with some of the bang taken out of it because you already know a bit about them.
That's just personal preference though -- chronological definitely seems like the go-to order for most(?) fans. And on a release-order watch you do end up with characters appearing after the episode in which they died (hopefully 'some people die in this show' isn't a spoiler lol), which can certainly be confusing, so I get it.

So the reason for this order is that this show was an Anthology sort of deal so the episode arcs could continue at random (like an arc could've started in Episode 1 Season 1 and the next chapter of the arc would be like Episode 3 Season 3). Which means you would be jumping between plot points a lot and character relationships could jump a lot. With the chronological order, you won't be left guessing when is an episode taking place

James Arnold Taylor has been the same Obi-wan VA since 2003. But in animated or video game projects the voice actors from THIS show have all remained the definitive voice actors for these characters. The clones in video games are all voiced by the same guy as here (Dee Bradley Baker, who has been in just about everything you've watched practically) and Matt Lanter is the definitive voice of Anakin, Matt Lanter also voiced Aquaman in Throne of Atlantis

Yeah. There was a year or two span where this, Regular Show, Adventure Time, Young Justice, Gumball, Ben 10, and Scooby Doo Mystery Inc were all airing new episodes on Cartoon Network.
