You can follow my live impressions of Rebels, as I work my way through the seasons again, on Twitter:

The point of the Clone Wars wasn’t to tell a single cohesive story, it was to flesh out an era, while Rebels was focused entirely on the story of one rebel cell. I’d say both shows achieved their goals very well

"Aired out of order"

That explains why that Rhodian senator who was poisoned kept reappearing

[matthewcollier]

I liked how Rebels really explored the force more than any other on-screen sources.

Honestly it bothers me when people say that animation as a medium is for kids, I'm in my mid 20s, and I have watched animated series, movies, as well as Anime, etc. My whole life and have been judged for it as I grew older.
Animation as a medium isn't for kids, animation can be anything live action can be.

I still prefer the Clone Wars over Rebels but I really did enjoy both

Also *spoiler alert*, Ahsoka Tano at the end is left at the end trying to find Ezra, which at the end of her arc could be considered as why she didn't want to take in Grogu. She was on a different path, which is why she demanded the location of Grand Admiral Thrawn at the end of her battle at the end. She wants to get Ezra back.

Whenever they bring a pre-established character they know they had to honor them so they stray away from the Looneytoons style of writing. That's why thrawn and Vader make the show so much better.

[michellekarey-mckenna]

Personally, I love Rebels, and I never found Ezra that annoying. One of my consistently favourite aspects of the show was that he kept escaping whenever he was caught in an imperial prison. And it wasn't necessarily because he was a Jedi, but because he never waited for someone to rescue him because growing up, he didn't have that option, he had to save himself or he was dead. Even after he met the Ghost crew and had a family that would come and save him, he still went out of his way to make it easy for them buy escaping his cells whenever they locked him in one. It was always fun to watch him escape.

This show did Vader so well. Everytime he's on screen he dominates. The only person who can come close to matching him is ahsoka. Kanan and Ezra just fold

[formallyknownasj.a.]

I liked Rebels, even as a GROWN adult. Once you get passed the first or second season (it’s been awhile), it really gets interesting.

[stijnburgers]

I actually really liked that in TCW almost every arc was about somebody else. It felt different, yet it connects everything together.

[rapson]

If Clone Wars was for kids, explain the war crimes.

[smusgrav]

Let’s just all agree that Rebels is way better than the Resistance!

[SamuelSantos-pryb]

I feel like Bad Batch will be the best of both worlds, it will focus on a small group of characters and their relationships as well as having the updated animation. Not to mention the answer to the great question... what happened to the clones?

[Samuleish]

The art style is pretty jarring at first but you get used to it especially when you realise that it's supposed to be like the old concept arts

[jasont]

After the Siege of Mandalor nothings beats The Clone Wars

[thegreatders]

As someone who has watch rebels 2 or 3 times, ill say this: give it a chance. The first few episodes are cheesy and goofy, but as it goes further, it really does get good and the characters, especially ezra, mature as the story advances and become well rounded and likeable people. Not as good as CW imo, but still definitely worth the watch. Resistance on the other hand is a waste of time...

[MadelineMysterious]

rebels is a beautiful series, flaws and all! I feel some deep connection to it and I don't quite understand it but it's great when anything can touch someone like that i think, whatever it may be.

[mistreme]

I actually fell in love with Ezra as a character. You could really see him grow through the series. I also love Vader's design being an homage to Ralph McQuarrie's original design. Rebels also sets a background continuity with the Mandalorian.
