I feel like the Lerman Arc should be watched just so the viewer knows how much of a favour the skip list is doing

A More Civilized Age @MoreCivilized1/8/2023, 10:14 PM

thank you i absolutely agree -- natalie

forrest @Alexander1/8/2023, 10:38 PM

I’m glad this is a living document because I feel like the Citadel Arc might be destined for a reevaluation…

noah @noah-hurts1/8/2023, 11:45 PM

I was sort of surprised it was a skip! Not that I think it's that great of an arc, but I think it's got some good moments. Plus It's got some of the first on-screen Anakin/Tarkin interactions.

Korlis @Korlis1/9/2023, 3:37 PM

Ditto! I also see it being made relevant again for... reasons.

@heavenlyevan1/9/2023, 12:06 AM

See for a second there I thought this was a skip list for episodes of A More Civilized Age

Russell Lee @rjaylee1/9/2023, 3:57 AM

this is so essential, thank you!

@andrew1/9/2023, 4:28 AM

Looking at the formatting legend on the document here does not hold a candle to the moment it was created during the podcast

Alton Francis @Altron1/9/2023, 3:30 PM

Thank you for all your hard work on the formatting Natalie!

syrtis @syrtis1/9/2023, 7:33 PM

Any plans for watching the genndy tartakovsky Clone Wars cartoon that came out before Revenge of the Sith?

A More Civilized Age @MoreCivilized1/9/2023, 7:59 PM

we're going to cover it right before season 7 of clone wars!

syrtis @syrtis1/10/2023, 5:05 PM

:) ty!!!

「Ｂｅｈｅｍｏｔｈ」@Behemoth1/9/2023, 9:33 PM

I feel like Blue Shadow Virus should also get the all-caps treatment, given how often Nuvo Vindi and Jaybo Hood come up.

Not Invented Here @notinventedhere1/10/2023, 12:14 PM

Bold: Essential Viewing (for an AMCA listener)

~~Strikethrough: Not worth your time~~
A Little Extra Sauce: Fuckin' sit your ass down and get ready for some fuckin' television

@Aon1/11/2023, 8:47 AM

A Sunny Day in the Void was robbed!

So many episodes, you can get everything you need by listening to the podcast alone, but Sunny Day is a unique visual spectacle that defies both description and comparison to other Clone Wars eps.

sean @sean02/20/2023, 7:17 PM

Got caught up thru my backlog of podcasts and got to finish this episode today. It was such a delight listening to everyone argue and debate which episodes should and shouldn't be included. I really think the 3 tiers works really well for not just this list but any sorta skip list.

AStarWar @AnStarWar8/3/2023, 6:44 PM

I very respectfully disagree with crossing out The Citadel arc. It features some important plot development for later seasons. I won't say specifically in case you don't know, but maybe a reconsider once you get to later seasons if you haven't already? Thanks for providing this list, doing the good work!
