Our lives may no longer be scheduled around small screen programming, but that doesn\u2019t mean we should forget the necessary sanctuary of Saturday \u2018toons. In this entry,\u00a0<\/em><em>we rank the 10 best episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p>Everyone has their favorite <strong><em>Star Wars<\/em><\/strong>. Most people probably pick the original trilogy. Makes sense. It\u2019s the oldest, and while it built off classic pop culture, the first film looked unlike any other cinematic endeavor. When the Star Destroyer crested that first frame, minds melted \u2014 and pockets flooded with cash. Franchises were nothing new, but <em>Star Wars<\/em> was a new kind of franchise.<\/p>\n<p>When the prequels arrived in 1999 with <em>The Phantom Menace<\/em>, the entire universe seemed to crave more <em>Star Wars<\/em>. What they got was not what they expected. Queue chuntering and hand-wringing, but for the kids who got their first taste of the Skywalker saga, <em>The Phantom Menace<\/em> absolutely delivered. Older minds were melted in a new way (with unbridled, selfish rage!), but younger minds were also melted, and love swam in.<\/p>\n<p>I used to be in the set who rioted online against the prequels \u2014 if you can call what we had in \u201999 \u201conline.\u201d I\u2019ve mellowed. And recent rioting against <em>The Last Jedi<\/em> mirrored too closely to how I behaved in \u201999, and I don\u2019t like that at all. So, a movie doesn\u2019t live up to your idealized version? Big deal, move on. Your old films are still there. I\u2019m sick of booing on the prequels. Aren\u2019t you?<\/p>\n<p>Besides, the prequels, it turns out, were an incredible gift. They made <strong><em>Star Wars<\/em><\/strong>: <strong><em>The Clone Wars<\/em><\/strong> possible. The animated <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> dives into every idea imagined between <em>The Phantom Menace<\/em> and <em>Revenge of the Sith<\/em>, no matter how large or small, and expands them into radical epic narratives\u00a0with incredible emotional depth. The films were adventure and a puddle of politics. The cartoons stretch those pools into oceans, and our beloved heroes and villains are allowed to swim into realms not possible during feature runtimes.<\/p>\n<p>Selecting the ten best episodes of <em>Star Wars<\/em>: <em>The Clone Wars<\/em> is no easy task. Yes, I say this during all my Saturday Morning Cartoon rankings, but this time, I really, really mean it. I agonized over the process, rewatching episodes all week long, and these are the ten I fell upon. Many of them you\u2019ll find on other lists, and a few will leave you scratching your heads. For me, this series is about exposing the failure of the Jedi, the heart of the clones, and the tragic horror of Maul. The films hang over these shows, and supervising director <strong>Dave Filoni<\/strong> uses their terrible inevitability to great narrative effect. This cartoon is all pain and I love it.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_%E2%80%9CRookies%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>10. \u201cRookies\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-365025\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Clone-Wars-Rookies.jpg\" alt=\"Clone Wars Rookies\" width=\"800\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Clone-Wars-Rookies.jpg 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Clone-Wars-Rookies-768x324.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Like most television properties, <em>Star Wars<\/em>: <em>The Clone Wars<\/em> took a little while to find its footing. \u201cRookies\u201d represents the moment when I took serious notice. The Galaxy Far, Far Away does not need to be Skywalker obsessed. You know it, I know it, even <strong>George Lucas<\/strong> knows it, despite what folks might think. The clones, as experienced in the prequels, are mostly faceless or character-less. \u201cRookies\u201d is the first time <em>Star Wars<\/em> audiences were allowed to consider the bizarre lifestyle they must lead. They share faces, but not brains. They\u2019re bred for war, it\u2019s their purpose, but independent thought tends to muck things up.

You may recall from <em>Attack of the Clones <\/em>that\u00a0Sifo-Dyas was the Jedi who ordered the clone army\u2019s construction. It was a toss-away mystery in the film, but as <em>The Clone Wars<\/em> proved over and over again, a throwaway cinematic line can equal tremendous dramatic potential. It may be too little too late, but by this episode\u2019s end, Yoda starts to fathom just how absurd their Separatist war is: a Dark Side fabrication designed to destroy the Republic from within.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_%E2%80%9CThe_Bad_Batch%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>8. \u201cThe Bad Batch\u201d<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-365061\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/The-Bad-Batch.jpg\" alt=\"The Bad Batch\" width=\"800\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/The-Bad-Batch.jpg 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/The-Bad-Batch-768x324.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The seventh and final season returns and radically updates <em>The Clone Wars<\/em> concept.

No duh, ya says. <em>The Hidden Fortress<\/em>, <em>Yojimbo<\/em>, and <em>Seven Samurai<\/em> are all over the Galaxy Far, Far Away. When filmmakers are adopted into the Lucasfilm fold, it seems the first instinct for many of them is to jump into the samurai classics and ape a trope or two. For <em>The Clone Wars<\/em>, the most blatant Kurosawa theft occurs in \u201cBounty Hunters,\u201d and it is a damn delight. It\u2019s a straight <em>Seven Samurai<\/em> lift. While searching for a missing orbital medical station, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka Tano discover a spice farm under bounty hunter threat. The villagers are being robbed blind, and our Jedi won\u2019t have any of it. The episode contains some devilish action between the warring factions, including a nasty confrontation with Embo and his large-rimmed hat.
