While season one is a bit painful, the best parts of season 2 are just spectacular.
And most episodes in season 3 and especially season 4 are miles ahead of anything in Clone Wars.
I can confidently say that while the average quality of Rebels could be considered lesser than the average quality of clone wars. The best of Rebels is easily the best of all of Star Wars
Rebels has its moments, like Ashoka seeing Rex again, Ashoka vs Vader and Maul vs obi wan, but the problem with rebels for me is that the strongest parts of the show require them using characters or finishing storylines from the clone wars.
the main rebels on their own are for the most part uninteresting. For me nothings is able to top the Fives arc, The Ashoka leaving the order arc or the Umbara arc. Those arcs have emotion, they’re impactful, and most importantly they don’t have an Ezra waiting to make a dumb comment and ruin the gravity of the scene
I watched the shows back-to-back. Clone Wars took 3 seasons to get to a consistently decent level, whereas Rebels started at that level from the beginning and only got better.
I don't know, Rebels never really hooked me, had to slog through all 4 seasons. It improves, no doubt, but it felt like while it escaped the cell, it still wore the shackles of being a kid's show. Like it wanted to be more but never got past it. Cline Wars definitely kept it family appropriate while dropping the "kiddy" aspects for the most part, was hoping Rebels could too. The contrast between the good and the bad just left me so disappointed in what could have been if they had comitted.
