While both are must - watch parts ofStar Warscanon , Star Wars Rebelsis a far comfortably invigorate series thanStar Wars : The Clone Wars . George Lucas had long hoped to amplify theStar Warsfranchise , and in 2008 his dreams became a realness . Fans were finally able to experience the Clone Wars in all their catastrophe , in a story that ab initio proved   controversial but shortly deliver the goods multitude over .

Since then , there have been a even flow of Lucasfilm animation , put in various prison term periods . But the two most prominent are stillStar Wars : The Clone Warsand its spiritual replacement , Star Wars Rebels , which launch in 2014 . There are close ties between the two shows , with Lucasfilm ’s Dave Filoni usingStar war Rebelsto tie up a pile of loose goal get out bythe abrupt   cancellation ofThe Clone Wars . Still , there ’s naturally acute debate in the fandom as to which of the two   is dear .

Neither show should be considered weak ;   they ’re both tremendous , and desirable addition to theStar Warslore . The strong , though , is certainlyStar Wars Rebels . Principally , this is because Dave Filoni and the creative team had learned a lot of important lessons fromThe Clone Wars . The stories were generally more confident , the characterization was more consistent , and - most importantly - there is a strong sense of narrative flow . This is lacking inThe Clone Wars , because George Lucas choose to tell that narrative out of successiveness , making it quite unmanageable to ab initio get a sense of current . Lucasfilm has openly acknowledged this trouble , even publishingan officialClone Warsviewing orderthat helps decline this decisive mistake .

While both display have Darth Maul , Star Wars Rebelsbenefits from other classic villains .   By time of year 2 , the Rebels are being pursued by Darth Vader himself , who has teach his former Padawan Ahsoka Tano is still alive . Rebelsshows Darth Vader at his good ( or , perhaps , his worst ) -   an almost unconquerable foe who seems honestly irredeemable .   The writer and showrunners could have decided to set up Vader ’s redemption discharge inReturn of the Jedi , but rather they chose to show Darth Vader as the Emperor and the Empire saw him : a titan of the dark side , a man who truly believe he had cut off all ties to his past .   Meanwhile , after Darth Vader , Rebelsdraws one of the best antagonists from the old flourish Universe back into the canyon   -Grand Admiral Thrawn , the Chiss superior strategian created by Timothy Zahn . He is as compelling in quicken form as he is on the impress varlet .

at last , Star Wars Rebelshas the single best instalment of Lucasfilm spiritedness to date   in " Twin Suns . " This is the final duel between Darth Maul and Obi - Wan Kenobi , and it is a chef-d’oeuvre of characterization and invigorate work . Obi - Wan Kenobi ’s fight style alone shows remarkable attention to item , because the animator show him switch from Ewan McGregor ’s prequel trilogy style to the one display by Alec Guinness in the firstStar Warsmovie . As unspoiled asThe Clone Warsmay be - especially time of year 7 - it has nothing to liken to " Twin Suns . "

Sidious, Tyranus, Maul, and Vader.
