First off, let’s be brutally honest: Disney+ is, like, the official, legit, no-arguments-allowed place to catch the entire *Clone Wars* series. Yeah, I know, it sucks having *another* streaming service, especially when you’re already paying for a million others. But hey, that’s the way the cookie crumbles. Plus, they’ve got all the episodes, in order, remastered, the whole shebang. You can also buy the home release, I guess, if you’re into physical media. Remember those things?
Now, here’s where things get a little…*spicy*. You might be thinking, “Okay, but what if I, hypothetically speaking, can’t get Disney+ where I am, or I, hypothetically speaking, just don’t *want* to pay for it?” Enter the VPN!
A VPN, for those not in the know, basically makes it look like you’re browsing the internet from somewhere else. Like, you could be in, say, Boise, Idaho, but your computer acts like it’s chilling in, I dunno, Tokyo. The idea is that *if* you had a friend in, say, a region where Disney+ is available (or where some other service might stream *Clone Wars*, although good luck finding one!), you could hypothetically “VPN” into their region and watch along with them. It’s like a digital sleepover!
(I should probably say here that I’m not advocating *anything* illegal. Just, you know, explaining the *possibility*.)
However, that said, don’t expect to find it easily on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, or HBO Max. They are, like, not in the clone wars game.
And speaking of getting lost, should you watch anything *before* jumping into *Clone Wars*? Well, duh! At least watch *Attack of the Clones*. Otherwise, you’ll be totally confused about who all these people are and why they’re suddenly fighting a giant war. Plus, you’ll miss all the Anakin/Obi-Wan bromance development, and who wants *that*? The show expects you to have some knowledge of the movies, definitely.
