    The CGI one seems kinda cheesy and more geared towards children but I haven't seen much of it and am not above watching children's cartoons.

Let me stop you right there. You ready for this shit?

IT'S FUCKING AMAZING!!!!

They start off a little childish, yes. The first season is a bit of a drag. I'll give it that. Once it gets going though, oh man is it great. GREAT. You have character development, political intrigue, moral ambiguity and nuances up the wazoo, amazing action, wonderful set design and world creation, and on and on and on. If that's not enough for you. Don't worry. It doesn't stay childish for long. It can get dark. It can get violent. Don't let the lack of visible blood fool you. There is torture, decapitation, murder, assassination, and implied mass deaths. Give it an honest shot. Chances are, you'll love it.

Also, because it was an anthology, the shows are technically out of chronological order. Here is the episodes put into chronological order.

(Jar Jar still sucks though. You can't fix what was born broken.)

I like seeing other people vouching for this. Maybe it's me, but when I get really into a fandom I just get a Star wars or Dresden Files or Jurassic Park shaped itch, and lots of different forms of media can scratch it.

Let me tell you, I fell in love with the original trilogy and the lore around it. The prequels got no love from me. The Clone Wars cartoon series though, was a bright spot of that era of the Star Wars universe. It really is that well done.

What about Rebels? Do you watch it?

I haven't seen it yet as I don't get that particular cable channel. The general consensus on r/StarWars is that show is geared more towards children, with the violence being toned down a bit. That said, it seems people still enjoy it quite a bit so I'm hoping to get my hands on some Blu-Rays in a bit.
