Star Wars-Related Question!
Hey guys!
I've been going back and forth in my head a lot about Star Wars. We have watched: 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3, and now we have started the Clone Wars.
My question to you is :
Should we watch the rest of the Star Wars movies (7, 8, 9) before continuing Clone Wars?

7,8,9 are a disgrace to the George Lucas Star Wars
Would this be the same George Lucas that made the prequels lol
This is the best order (IMO) Clone wars, rebels, andor, rogue one, obi wan, solo, mando, Ahsoka, then 7,8,9….you may like the last 3 who knows (kinda like the dumbledore debate you either love him or hate him) personally I pretend they don’t exist because I just don’t like the characters at all but that’s my opinion (no hate to the sequel lovers whatsoever). Also bad batch too, it’s defs a lot shorter than the clones wars but maybe watch before rebels? I wish I did at least but it’s still coming out (last season is streaming an ep every week atm) so wasn’t an option for me at the time! And tales of the Jedi is something you can probably complete in between but perhaps before rebels would work best (don’t come for me if I’ve got that part wrong I haven’t watched tales of the Jedi since its release so I don’t remember if there’s any big spoilers in them but I don’t recall any)
Also remember with Star Wars pacing is your friend! It’s a big universe and I regret not taking more time initially to sit back and just appreciate the work George and filoni particularly have put out
You could totally forget about 7, 8, 9 for all I care. I’ll still watch if you do tho.
It really doesn't matter. I enjoy watching the content put out. I'm not voting either way.
Do whatever you want to do, the great thing about Star Wars is if you watch Episode 7 tomorrow or in 2 years, people will still be fans and care. No deadline for you. So if you enjoy Clone Wars watch that, if you want a break for films, there's 4 left!
despite what many of these people say, I wouldn't skip the sequels.
Don’t watch 7,8,9
Please be quiet 🤫
After Clone Wars you should watch the small series Tales of the Jedi, than bad batch and then Rebels, or Andor/Rogue One, after that you can watch the Sequels or go on with the Mandelorian, Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka Series. These Series are much more worth watching then the Sequel movies in my opinion.
100 agree. they almost put me off of sw till mando came out
I feel like since you recently watched the prequels it would help you remember references and call backs to them where as the sequels take place 30 years after the OG series and it may get confusing. Also, in other newer media there are a lot of callbacks and nods to clone wars and having that knowledge moving forward makes the experience that much more enjoyable.
Hmmm. Am I detecting a correlation between Clone Wars stans, and Sequel Trilogy haters? I could be imagining things again lol.
Most definitely not, you can watch the series get wrecked later
We never speak of those
7,8,9 are just garbage compared to the rest of Star Wars you could save that till the end I would suggest Rogue One or Solo before 7,8,9
After Clone Wars, watch Rebels
Definitely do 7-8-9 last…
Watch all of clone wars and then you can skip 7-8-9. They do nothing but tear down Star Wars and try to ruin it.
😂
Definitely watch the Clone Wars before you watch the movies. Doing it in that order gave me a deeper appreciation for Star Wars as a universe.
Clone wars is too long
Wish there was a dislike button on your comment lol
Strangely enough the answer to the "what order should I watch" question is the same as always: Release Order! And please just ignore the DontWatch Brigade who think their personal preferences and tastes are the same thing as quality.
7 8 9 are good from an entertainment perspective they just had some bad writing
7,8,9 and Solo are absolute time-wasting movies.
Honestly doesn’t matter….but Clone Wars is so good, it might make the movies worse
Despite peoples views on 7-9 movies, they still deserve to be watched. Now, whether that's before or after Clone Wars who knows. I've never been a Star Wars fan, sure I liked the 4-6 ones but not the 1-3 movies so the new ones being bad never really bothered me. It was still enjoyable cinema imo
They don’t cause clone wars gonna take forever then we have to endure 3 more Star Wars movies?🤮💀 it’s too much
Don’t listen to people telling you to skip movies. They all have value. People hate the sequels. But a lot of people it’s their favorite Star Wars. Everyone has their divide and preferences, and you should make up your own. You enjoy most things, I think you would really love the sequels. Especially the characters and action. I think instead of doing one, and then the other. You should mix in the sequel movies with clone wars. So then neither groups have to wait!
I get defending your opinion but don’t lie. You said “a lot of people it’s their favorite Star Wars” that’s just a lie. The people in the movies didn’t even like them lol
The sequels are absolutely terrible, truthfully I only watched 7 and part of 8, I was soo miserable watching them and they almost wrecked the original trilogy for me… but it’s obviously a personal preference lol
“The sequels are terrible, also I only watched one of them” This is what we’re dealing with here…
Interested to see what Alex thinks of the sequels. Like many others, I didn't like them too much, I didn't absolutely hate them, but I was disappointed. I will say that they work better as general science fiction movies than they do as Star Wars movies, and I think that was because the tone of them didn't really fit with the rest of Star Wars, and there were some character inconsistencies that didn't make sense, especially for those of us who grew up on 4, 5, and 6. Although to be fair, the buildup for the sequels was so long and the expectations so high, that there really isn't anything they could have done to exceed expectations, but still, there were some obvious things they could have done better. And I don't fault the acting, the actors did the best they could with what they were given to work with and many of the new characters could have been much cooler than they ended up being, I fault the writing for that, not the actors.
I may be wrong but I don't think it matters for sequels but it does for Ashoka
He needs to watch rebels before Ashoka tho
PLEASE JUST WATCH THEM WHILE UR DOING MOVIES AND LATER DO THE CLONE WARS. the clone wars is really long so that should be put after the movies since they are quicker and done with. want to see you react to them so bad and then just get back to the clone wars. I just miss watching a Star Wars movie from you.
if u ask me. u should skip 7, 8 and 9 and u wouldnt miss anything but it's your choice
I think he should watch them just off camera. If he gets into the future stuff like Mandalorian and bad batch those series are actually trying to fix the stuff that they messed up in the sequels so you kind of have to know what happens even tho it’s bad.
I think you should continue the clone wars stuff, especially if you’re enjoying it. However, I don’t see anything wrong with throwing in one of the sequel movies in between. It is clear that 7,8, and 9 are set far after episode 6, so I don’t think there would be any confusion there. Besides, Alex, I think whether you love them, think they’re just ok, or if you hate them, I think your reactions would be great. And I think that if you do end up hating the sequels, it will just allow you to appreciate some of the better stuff even more. 🤷🏻♂️ just my two cents.
Also, I don’t want other people opinions on the movies to influence you in any way. It’s your commentary/reaction channel. We’re just along for the ride. :)
I just wish we could do both at the same time
If you are going in now, you will probably have a good fun ride. The key is, what you do after you watched the movies. - Shut your brain off and don't think about the movies. - Don't read anything about how the movies came to be. - Don't read any commentary about the movies.
Yeah if those 3 sentences are the advice required for enjoying a film yk it’s a bad film 😂
While I don’t like this, Disneys newer stuff attempts to or leads to tying up loose ends in the sequel. You should lowkey watch in timeline order and finish shows like Mando and Ahsohka before starting the sequels so that you have full context as possible at this very moment.
I just like Clone Wars so much and it provides so much context to the overall universe. The sequels have their merits but are set AFTER all the other shows and movies
Yes but u gotta think there’s a limited amount of people that want to rewatch an entire 7 seasons of a obscure animated show. If u didn’t grow up with clone wars it is corny. If you say it’s not your lying
Ok while everyone is going off against the Sequels, and I absolutely hate 9. I will say I thought 7 was ok, and 8 is my favorite Star Wars movie of all time. People can have different opinions and tastes, so I am interested in seeing Alex’s reaction. Just don’t let all the people saying all the sequels are awful influence your reaction.
Alex trust me do both simultaneously if clone wars wins, make us all happy😀
Bear in mind that some people voting ‘no’ simply don’t want you to watch them at all. They’re scared you’ll like the sequels the same way you had the nerve to like the prequels 😂 some Star Wars fans just don’t want you to enjoy things.
You need to know what Star Wars is before you watch the Sequels. Just my two cents.
90% of the Star Wars fan base hasn’t touched clone wars. It’s not required viewing
There's so much content in shows that I kinda wish you did finish up the movies. But I can't wait for you to get to Obi-Wan and Mandolorian and Andor and Rebels... ack, so much goodness, so little time!!
You always hear about "this movie is bad don't watch it" and then you watch the movie and it's alright, nothing crazy good but a perfectly fine movie. Ep 9 is genuinely that bad, it feel like they took the writer room out behind the studio and shot them mid way through ep 8 only to replace them by new hires who had never seen Star Wars but think they are very deep and intellectual.
You feel that way, doesn’t make it true
I would rather watch you cry of happiness and sadness because something is so good that it makes you emotional, and not because someone destroyed one of the best fantasy universes there is. So Clone Wars first. [ sorry if my english is mediocre ]
Your English is fantastic, your taste is mediocre 😊
Watching Obi-Wan, Mando and Ahsoka would be a better use of time than 7,8,9 imo lol
I haven't watched any of it so I voted for what everyone else voted for.
Get the sequel trilogy out of the way first so you don’t end on…. That…
I was gonna say rip the band aid off and get it over with.
Not gonna lie… I’m not a fan of Clone Wars so I’m anxiously waiting for the new movies so I can see your reaction and off-the-wall comments 🤣
Don’t watch 7-9. Avoid the pain
People only say not to watch something because they’re afraid others will enjoy the thing they dislike. You’re not asking him to skip the movies out of kindness, you’re asking out of insecurity.
I'd say whatever works best for the YouTube edits. As far as the story goes, Clone Wars and 7, 8, 9 are generally pretty far apart. Though Bad Batch seems to be fleshing out a story line. But still, I don't think it really matters which order you watch as far as following the story goes.
It's pretty much min-n-match viewing order for Star Wars after the main 6 movies. There are little plot points between things here and there but nothing that's going to ruin anything if you don't watch in some particular order. I'd say if you're in the mood for one of the movies, do a movie, otherwise watch a show.
Dude what are y’all on bro, it would be entertaining for sequal reactions
I agree!
Clone wars 100%
7, 8, and 9 are absolutely awful. Trust me, they aren't worth watching.
Bro save 7, 8, 9 for last please. Clone Wars is way better than 7, 8, 9 I swear. Stay the course and finish clone wars
What about both simultaneously
Clone wars first, much better content and sets a lot of things up for later shows/movies
Please don’t make me watch the sequels again😂 just clone wars
Personally, I would like to see the movies finished first and then Clone Wars....only because I feel like I would be waiting forever to get to the movies if Clone Wars as first.
Whatever the outcome, thank you SO MUCH for bothering to ask this!! Absolute legend 🤙❤️
For you Clone wars is clear of 7,8,9 but your reaction videos to 7,8,9 will be a better watch for us lol😂
I mean, I don’t believe the newest movies have anything to do with the clone wars, honestly I’d say smash out those last 3 then start on the one offs/ tv series
I’m all for mixing it up, baby!
Clone Wars is such a journey, I'd watch 7-9 first
The pay off for watching Bad Batch and Mando first will be high for episode 9, but 7 & 8 are okay to do early
Don’t even watch 7,8 and 9. Not worth it and you’ll probably be disappointed like most of the fanbase.
Don't listen to this person, Alex. Wait til you watch them and decide if you like them. Don't let anyone else manipulate you into hating them before you watch them
Or just don’t watch them. You would be better off.
