Full Series The Clone Wars Chronological Order (TCW Episodes & Viewing Orders)

I'm confused. Why would the OT correlate with TCW?

 

Nah. If you’re gonna cut off Mortis Trilogy because you don’t want to add TPM, you might as well cut Maul’s return episodes and Yoda’s arc where Qui-Gon appears (and Mortis is referenced). Otherwise, that viewing feels lack it’s missing some important background information.
I would suggest to still add all the PT movies, but the Japanese version.

The poster is using the Machete Order, but replacing AOTC with TCW episodes.

 

I'll be honest, I've never heard of the "Machete Order" before; but it sounds like it's a lame attempt to give the few people on Earth that don't know by know that Vader was once Anakin Skywalker an element of surprise. I don't really see the overall point.

 

^ Eh… maybe in America, I suppose. But the Star Wars story is not like universal common sense. There are many people who never watched a Star Wars movie and who don’t even know about the “I am your father” moment, much less who the hell is Anakin Skywalker.

I merged your thread with our Clone Wars Chronological Order thread since your thread (adding the movies) waa talking about which order the tv show shpuld be watched.

Welcome to the forums.

 

I understand that the TCW episodes (along with ROTS) are meant to be viewed as one huge flashback inbetween ESB and ROTJ, but it's strange to leave out AOTC since it's essentially needed as a prelude to the series and the sequel even if you skip TPM.

 

I have went back and altered the list to add the lightsaber duel from Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones and compress the TCW show into 20 arcs.

1. A New Hope (Despecialized)
2. The Empire Strikes Back (Despecialized)
3. The Phantom Menace (Lightsaber duel with Darth Maul only)
4. Attack of the Clones (HAL9000 edit)
5. Christophsis Arc
6. Clone Cadets Arc (Clone Cadets, Rookies, ARC Troopers in that order)
7. Grevious Intrigue
8. Viceroy Captured Arc (without Bombad Jedi)
9. Lethal Trackdown Arc
10. Malevolence Arc
11. Rlyoth Arc
12. Cad Bane Arc
13. Season 2 Mandalore Arc
14. 2nd Battle of Geonosis Arc
15. Witches and Monsters Arc
16. Return of Maul Arc
17. Citadel Arc
18. Slaves of the Republic Arc
19. War on Onderon Arc
20. Maul's Criminal Empire Arc
21. Clovis Arc
22. Ashoka Framed Arc
23. Order 66 Arc
24. Season 6 Yoda Arc
25. Revenge of the Sith (L8wrtr edit)
26. Return of the Jedi (Despecialized)

 

Hey everyone.

Have any of your watched the Series in both Chronological Order and production order?

Which way is better?

I watched the Series all the way through in production order as it came out... then I went back to re-watch and got through all of season 1 before learning about Chronological order, and then did the best I can to watch it in chronological order from that point forward.

What are your thoughts?

 

Hey I merged your thread with our pre-existing Chronological order thread. Hopefully it can help.

 

Thanks!!!! +1

 

You're welcome.

 

I saw the movie in the theater opening day, and watched every episode's premiere, save one (Point of No Return). I've also watched the show (more than once) chronologically, though I disagree with the Story Group's timeline.

Sometimes its easier to just play them in the order on the disc. Means less getting up and swapping discs around. But for a new viewer, a first time viewer, chronological is better.

As for production order, meaning the order they were made, that would be very interesting...

 

OK guys I need some help. I REALLY want Trespass, The Mandalore Plot, Voyage Of Temptation and Duchess Of Mandalore to take place BEFORE Cat And Mouse using the Chronological order method. I think since Ahsoka isn't in those episodes, it'd be great to have the first batch of episodes be Anakin and Obi Wan adventures before she is introduced. My question is, is there ANYTHING that would contradict established continuity? I can ignore SMALL things, but anything large that's very easy to notice would be an issue. If it's not possible, I'm fine with that, it's just something I've really wanted to do! Thank you all!

 

Ha, I watched Trespass the other day, when I started.

Clone Cadets
Supply Lines
Ambush
Trespass
Cat & Mouse
The Hidden Enemy
and so on...

So yes, you could easily insert the Mandalore trilogy in there. Actually, I'm about to start those eps right now.

PS Ahsoka is not in the Zillo Beast episodes, also.

 

I also disagree with the Story Group's timeline, especially since they put the Clovis arc after The Lawless, even though Obi-Wan talks about Satine like she's still alive.

 

I'm actually going to move that arc to the beginning of my canon timeline. Also, Obi-Wan says he recently encounted Jango Fett in that arc so it would work better closer to AOTC.

 

Ok thanks! I may insert the arc to right after Trespass then!

 

That makes two of us then! I think I'll make Trespass the first episode of the series, then the Zillo beast arc as the second arc followed by the Mandalore arc. Then Cat and Mouse!

 

I definitely think the Zillo Beast arc should be moved because the 'official' timeline says that arc comes just before Senate Spy. But in Senate Spy, Anakin and Padme talk as in they haven't seen each other for a long time. But they literally were together the episode before.

OK so my goal is to have as many episodes as possible take place before Cat & Mouse that doesn't feature Ahsoka and can be inserted with no continuity errors. For Clone Cadets, The Battle Of Christophsis appears in the newsreel so I wouldn't place that first even though it seems like the obvious choice to have as the first episode! I'm going to try and make this order work:

Supply Lines
Ambush
Trespass
The Zillo Beast
The Zillo Beast Strikes Back
The Mandalore Plot
Voyage Of Temptation
Duchess Of Mandalore
Cat & Mouse
The Hidden Enemy
The Clone Wars

 

After re-watching and having things fresh(er) in my mind, I noticed Onaconda Farr and Orn Free Taa are advisors in Satine's entourage. I can understand why Senator Taa would encourage Satine to accept Republic assistance, considering the invasion of Ryloth. He also encouraged King Katuunko to side with the Republic. But what about Senator Farr? In The Mandalore Plot, it appears that Senator Farr (and Kin Robb) is on the Council of Neutral Systems. Is it safe to assume they are advising Satine to remain neutral? In Bombad Jedi, 'uncle' Ono complains about the Republic (and Padme) neglecting Rodia, and conceding to Gunray's offers. Does that affect chronology?

 

OK I just watched part of Voyage Of Temptation and noticed that Obi Wan refers to Anakin as Master Skywalker when introducing him to Satine. Is their any way this can be explained to take place before the movie?

You got me on that one!

OK I just realized Anakin is a Knight and never was given the title of Master. So Obi Wan is simply calling him a "Master Jedi" title that a normal person would refer to them as! Makes sense for me to keep this pre-movie!

This reddit post really sums up the whole Anakin being called a Master thing. Works for me!
