See, *technically*, The Clone Wars got released all wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey (sorry, Doctor Who moment there). They didn’t just drop ’em in a straight line, and that’s why you might be asking whether you should watch clone wars in chronological.
Now, some folks are die-hard release order purists. Like, “George Lucas intended it this way, so deal with it!” kind of folks. And I kinda get that. There’s a certain magic to experiencing something the way the creator originally intended. But, BUT…
…But the Clone Wars is a *beast*. We’re talking multiple seasons, a movie that kicks things off (more on that later!), and arcs that kinda jump around. And, let me tell ya, watching it in chronological order can really, like, *enhance* the story. Certain arcs, like the Mortis trilogy or the Siege of Mandalore, just *hit different* when you’ve got the proper context. You get to see the character development unfold in a more natural way, see the dominoes falling that lead to these HUGE events.
Okay, so here’s where things get a little messy. I am personally a big advocate for chronological order. It just makes more sense to me, personally. It feels like a more complete narrative.
And the Clone Wars movie? Yeah, that throws a wrench in things. Most people say watch it first, chronologically speaking, because it’s the intro to the series. But some say watching it after season 2 is the way to go. It’s a matter of preference, really. I say, wing it! Watch it whenever you feel like it! It’s your Star Wars journey, after all.
So, should you watch Clone Wars in chronological order? It depends. Do you want to be a stickler for release order? Go for it. But, if you’re looking for a narrative that flows a bit smoother, chronological might just be your jam.
