It’s kinda weird, right? You see bits and pieces floating around. YouTube, obviously, with random folks sharing clips – but good luck finding the whole thing in decent quality. Then you got people saying “Oh, check out Cartoon Network!” Yeah, okay, good luck with *that*, trying to navigate their ancient website. Sometimes it works, sometimes it’s just a bunch of buffering and frustration. And honestly, who even *watches* TV on Cartoon Network *live* anymore?
Disney+ is supposed to be the home of Star Wars, but for some reason, the 2003 Clone Wars feels like the forgotten child. Like, they want you to focus on the CGI one, which, don’t get me wrong, has its moments (Asajj Ventress, am I right?). But the sheer stylistic awesomeness of the 2D animation? Come on! It’s just… *chef’s kiss*.
I vaguely remember seeing something about buying it on Amazon or Vudu… is that still a thing? I feel like those services are just kinda… *there*, you know? Like, I forget they exist. And honestly, who wants to *buy* individual episodes in this day and age? Give me a streaming service or give me death (okay, maybe not death, but a serious frown).
And then there’s the *other* option. The shadowy, slightly-sketchy, “Watch cartoons online” places that promise you “Star Wars: The Clone Wars Show Online full episodes for Free. Stream cartoon Star Wars: The Clone Wars Show series online with HQ high quality.” Yeah, right. High quality *and* free? Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Usually, you end up fighting a million pop-up ads and wondering if you’re downloading a virus along with your cartoon fix. I’m not saying *I’ve* done it… but, y’know, a friend of a friend maybe… totally did.
Seriously though, why is it so difficult to just WATCH this show? It only ran for three seasons! 25 episodes! That’s, like, less than some Netflix miniseries. You’d think someone would make it easy.
