My star wars interest has awakened again with andor, and ive so far tortured myself through jar jar binks in episodes 1 and 2 to refresh the lore on palpatines rise to power and transformation from the republic to the empire.

I am considering jumping into the clone wars before moving into episode 3. Both movie, series and the ps2-era game.

Are they worth it from a lore perspective?

    I’ve personally enjoyed Clone Wars film cuts by NumeralJoker, where episodes are combined into feature-length story arcs. He’s also made the “Siege of Mandalore Cut” of RoTS which weaves in a few Clone Wars episodes that happen concurrently with RoTS. I think this is a better flowing experience if you can stomach longer run times (most are 1-2.5 hours, with a 4.5h finale).

    Probably not recommended for a first time watcher, but if you’re already familiar with the story of episodes II & III it might be worth looking into. Also makes it easier to skip the filler arcs, and generally saves a lot of time on intros/credits.

    Of course the downside is that you have to torrent them, since it’s a fan edit.

    Here’s what the changes look like: https://youtu.be/HLByflZXue8?list=PLEh8pd-FJc5OL6PCLu1B9WKDbrcLudDr7
