I've never watched this show, but I know there are a lot of episodes. Are any skippable? Is there a watch order?
With the caveat that I always recommend watching every episode of a show, it is true that there exist recommended episode lists for people who do not want to binge all 121 episodes of the show. This popular image guide lists episodes from the first five seasons that are commonly recommended in order to watch the primary storylines of the series. Be sure to watch both the recommended episodes and the honorable mentions. I also made a thread with a similar but even more slimmed down episode guide for people with even less time who want only the essentials.

I haven't watched any of this series but I want to jump right into season 7. Is this doable?
Probably, but it's not recommended. The Clone Wars is an anthology series, so you can technically just watch season 7 standalone, but you'll be missing a lot of character-building and development from earlier seasons. But yes, technically, as long as you've seen the movies you won't be completely lost.

When is this taking place in relation to Episode III?
As with previous seasons, the first eight episodes take place during the eponymous Clone Wars prior to Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. However, the last four episodes actually take place immediately before and during Episode III, and the trailers indicate that we'll be seeing at least one scene from that film (a Jedi Council meeting) remade in animated form. The extent to which the final episodes cross over with Episode III remains unknown.

How is Darth Maul alive?
Watch the show.

Will we be seeing Order 66?
Almost certainly.

Will this season be connected to the Mandalorian?
Probably not, but it's possible there will be an easter egg of some kind.

Started reading the Ahsoka novel. Which mentions the Mandalore battle and fight with Maul.

Seeing her dealing with survivors guilt is interesting.

I can't believe this is happening. Always down for more Ahsoka.

The Siege of Mandalore is going to be hype.

For lovers
One ~23 minute episode a week is rough. Will likely wait and do two at a time every other week.

Can't find the link, but Disney released their "watch these episodes in preparation for Season 7" List. It was fairly short, ~10-15 episodes I think

This and Mandalorian have more than made up for Rise of Skywalker, it's like the law of equivalent exchange

Wow it sounds like I need to hurry up and catch up on this. I always loved the OT, prequels (even if they were a bit uneven), Timothy Zahn novels, and KOTOR. I think I was about to try to catch up on Clone Wars a few years back, then Episode 7+8 happened and pretty much killed my interest in Star Wars. :"( I might try to catch up on this tho, everything about it sounds great from this thread!

Super excited! I rewatched about 25% of the episodes to refresh my memory on all of the Mandalore, Darth Maul and Ahsoka history, as well as Domino squad. I also watched the Ventress storyline and read Dark Disciple (for the first time) just because.

I haven't watched the Bad Batch animatics so it will be brand new. From the trailer the concept reminds me a lot of Republic Commandos.

I'm almost ready!! This show really hit its stride around season 3 and season 4 and onward are such an improvement in animation and storytelling. Started season 6 and just finished the first arc.
RIP Fives :(

This thread is pertinent to my interests. lol. Just recently went through what's currently available for the first time and I was blown away by the show by the time I had finished it. Between the movie and the early episodes it starts off fine enough but man did this show find its groove or what? Imagine thinking Anakin Skywalker could be a good character? The films certainly did little to make me think this was possible. And Ahsoka Tano, what a great character!

I enjoyed the show, but I am really wondering why they want to revisit this (besides "sell more toys").
