Clone Wars Continuity Order
Posted: 2019-09-01 04:23pm
I am going to be watching through The Clone Wars with my kids (7 and 10) for the first time soon. I wanted to double check the continuity order list before we start. Way back in 2013 I posted this. Season 6 (The Lost Missions) has long since been released and the original page I started from is long since gone. The "official chronology" is as useless as the old RPG numbers stating the Executor was only 8km long. (Instead of the 19km it actually is.)
Fortunately the only change is three of the season 6 episodes should be viewed between season 4 and 5. Funnily enough if you dig for it, those episodes have production code numbers that place them at the end of season 4 too. I am sure some will point out the Tartakovsky series is officially no longer canon but frankly I don't care. The main series makes several references to it and the only major continuity problem is Grievous' voice. Yes there are a few other minor nitpicks but nothing as suspension of disbelief breaking as some of the crap in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. (Its kind of like "season 4" of the original Star Trek. It was mostly the same writers and actors, but because is was animated and they took full liberty to do some truly crazy stuff they never could have done in live action, its "not canon." Never mind that it is far better written than the garbage they call "Star Trek" today.)
Here is the full updated list for everyone that wants to watch in the most sensible order we can achieve to minimize minor continuity errors.
