C110P is my favorite war criminal. Without knowing how Baylon's story ties up I've seen a lot of calls for Liev Schrieber to be offered the role. I think he'd be able to step in for Stevenson nicely

Been a life long Star Wars fan but have never really gotten into any of the animated stuff. Is the Clone Wars series worth watching? There are just a lot of seasons, and after watching a few episodes I'm not sure it's worth the time commitment right now.
My advice would be to watch maybe the last two seasons of rebels and then the last season of clone wars.
I don't know if you need to watch all of it but there is a playlist on D+ called essential Ashoka or something like that. It might be worth your time to watch that. I watched a bunch of it because my kids were the right age to be into it and for the most part I enjoyed it.
It should be seasons 2-4 of Rebels as Ahsoka is in season 2.
For the Clone Wars, there are guides out there to which episodes to watch:
The Essential Clone Wars Episodes Every Star Wars Fan Should Watch
To get the best out of your Clone Wars experience, here's the list of essential episodes (plus one movie!) to watch in chronological order.
www.kotaku.com.au
Find a Clone Wars essentials list somewhere and just watch those episodes. There is at least one story arc in Season 5 that is VERY important, especially to understand Ahsoka.
Overall, if you like to get more background and universe building, watching those series is good and fun. For example, you get more background on how the clone troopers felt about the war.
For the clone wars, if you do decide to watch the entire series, I'd go on line and find a list of episodes in chronological order. The reason is because the first couple seasons, the episodes jump around a lot between different story arch's. Season 4, I believe they start showing the story arch's in order, which are usually 2-4 episodes in length following the same story before they move on to a new one. The first couple of seasons, you may get episode 2 of a story arch in season 1, then season 2, you got the episode 1, and then they complete the story arch in season 3.
I'd repeat what others have said about the animated stuff - watch the essentials list. I'm a sicko so I've watched everything. But the quality in the animated stuff goes from some of the best stuff Star Wars has to offer (Rebels season 2 finale) to entire Clone Wars episodes featuring Jar Jar.
This is a good point. There are some great episodes, and then there are some bad ones. The reason I always thought this was the case is because it's made for children; and those bad episodes have children written all over them.
I meant Season 5 of The Clone Wars, when she is framed for bombing the Jedi Temple. I agree about the current series; especially now that we're near the end, it is clearly a continuation of Rebels. Rebels is essential Star Wars for me.
I just recently did first watch throughs of both Clone Wars and Rebels.
Simply as a star wars fan i'd say yes, both Clone Wars and Rebels are highly worth watching. Clone wars does a lot to flesh out the prequel era (especially getting good a few seasons in, it takes a bit to get good, which is why it took me a few attempts before I finally got through it), and Rebels the era between the prequels and sequels, as well as having a pretty solid story and characters on its own. I' m a couple episodes behind on Ahsoka, but it also has a big impact on these series, given as others have said, Ahsoka is essentially Rebels S5 and Clone Wars has a ton of backstory for Ahsoka's character, both in her past as a jedi as well as her relationship with Anakin which weighs on her.
At very least before Ahsoka i'd watch an 'essentials' list of ahsoka episodes in clone wars, and all of rebels.

Really enjoyed the finale. Overall I had a blast with season 1. Couple slow episodes but overall really good
So if a Jedi has their arms and legs cut off prior to death . . . do they get their limbs back as a force ghost???
Wow. A lot to unpack. Completely missed the mortis monuments. Guess I had to much lotr stuck in my head. Fitting that the place is missing the daughter (light force).
It was definitely fan service but having the ghost in the background when ezra finally sees hera was awesome. Disappointed there was no hug.
Ahsoka owning the blade of talzin.
And morai showing up again.
And force ghost (my head canon is the force ghost chooses what they look like when they appear.)
My guess is that ahsoka and Sabine get back home by using the world between worlds unlocked by the mortis part of the world that balen is going to. Maybe anakin helps?
Have to see what I miss when I rewatch with my kids.

Deep clone wars cut at the very end. Hopefully we get a season 2 to explore it more.
Great season. I'm pumped for season 2. This is right up there with Mando imo. I'm going to go back and watch the Ahsoka essentials and then rewatch this.
