Star Wars: The Clone Wars Revisited – Part 2: Newbs, Fools and Wise Old Masters

We’re into the swing of things now, and this time I’ll be talking about three episodes, two from season 3 and the first episode of season 1. Why those three in particular? That’s because I made the incredibly arbitrary decision to review these episodes in their chronological order rather than their airing order, thanks to the helpful list on Starwars.com.

To see this entire journey thus far, here’s the link to the entire archive.

Which means the future of this season really is up in the air as of the time I’m writing this.

A consistence of this being; I’m not sure how much new anime I’m going to be watching this season. I’m not saying there isn’t anything out there, but the takings are light to say the very least. There is some stuff out there, so I guess I best get cracking and take a look at the main series Crunchyroll are pushing this season: Tower of God.
