Is there a recommended watch list for clone wars? I am really trying to get through the first season but some episodes suck so much.
Ignore that Disney + viewing guide. It misses A LOT of important episodes. Follow something like this instead-
Essential Episodes
S1- Rookies
S2- Landing at Point Rain, Weapons Factory, Brain Invaders, Legacy of Terror, Brain Invaders, The Mandalor Plot, Voyage of Tempation, Duchess of Mandalore
S3- Clone Cadets, Arc Troopers, Nightsisters, Monster, Witches of the Mist
S4- Darkness on Umbara, Plan of Dissent, Carnage of Krell, The General, A Friend in Need, Massacre, Bounty, Brothers, Revenge
S5- Revenge, Eminence, Shades of Reason, The Lawless, Sabotage, Tje Jedi Who Knew Too Much, To Catch a Jedi, The Wrong Jedi
S6- The Unknown, Conspiracy, Fugitive, Orders, The Lost One, Voices, Destiny, Sacrifice
40 Episodes. These are the ones you need to watch for the story.
Now for honorable mentions (some of my favorite episodes)
S1- Ambush, Cloak of Darkness, Lair of Grievous, Jedi Crash, Defenders of Peace, The Hidden Enemy, Storm Over Ryloth, Innocents of Ryloth, Liberty on Ryloth
S2- Grevious Intrigue, The Deserter, Bounty Hunters
