I'm on Episode 2 of Season 5 of (Disney's) "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," so I'm pretty close to the end.

I'm watching mostly because I wanted to watch "Star Wars Rebels" but also wanted to feel the full impact of any story threads from "Clone Wars" that popped up in "Rebels." And I heard it was good.

Overall, that's true. The first couple of seasons were mostly throwaway with a couple good eps peppered in. The writing at the end of Season 3 gets really good though and has continued to get better. I love experiencing a show getting better as I watch it. Like I'm witnessing the creators learn from their mistakes and make smart, impactful changes. I used to hate the character Ahsoka, for example, and now she's probably my favorite.
