Worth it to dive into clone wars (movie, series and game) for lore? (sh.itjust.works)

My star wars interest has awakened again with andor, and ive so far tortured myself through jar jar binks in episodes 1 and 2 to refresh the lore on palpatines rise to power and transformation from the republic to the empire.

I am considering jumping into the clone wars before moving into episode 3. Both movie, series and the ps2-era game.

Are they worth it from a lore perspective?

From a lore and world building perspective, absolutely. If you like what Andor has done with those, and I’ve particularly been enjoying the world building, CW will probably hit the spot for you.

This sounds very good! :)

There is a lot of Clone Wars. It’s not going to be as tight as Andor or even all relevant, especially since it’s an anthology series.

Yea thats what keeping me from just diving in without seeking the jedi council for advice first!

There are some real stinkers and some boring episodes/arcs. The Jar Jar stuff, the droid stuff, a lot of it is a miss for me.

There was posted a list above here with essential episodes - i hope that perhaps skips the worst of this. I would really not like to sit through too much jar jar - he was more insufferable than i could remember...

Really makes the Clone Wars as an event seem very important to the universe, whereas going by the movies alone it’s almost a background event that we get at the end of one movie and the beginning of another. Overall, I think it does a really good job of fleshing out the characters, their motivations, and their relationships. Adds a lot more weight to RotS, especially season 7.

Yea i always found something lacking when they didnt go into this. Seems like it is worth a watch from my perspective!
