This is incredible, and something I've always hoped someone would do. The Clone Wars is a great show overall. Like any other show, it has it's weaknesses and rough spots. It's also, at the end of the day, a cartoon for children. However, some of the best Star Wars storytelling since the original trilogy happens within this series, introducing characters and concepts that reverberate throughout the entire Star Wars story.

What Eddie Dean has done here is take the best parts of the show an recontextualize them as a shorter, more dynamic series where every episode is a banger. He also took some of the threads that continue throughout the show and changed how they are presented and spaced out, making it feel more serialized and less "adventure of the week." In doing so, he found the best possible way to enjoy all of the most important and enjoyable content of the show in a way that won't take you forever.

The amount of work and effort this must've taken is astounding. I find working on one movie to be exhausting, but Eddie Dean has edited an entire TV series into 5 seasons worth of great episodes. Audio and video quality are great and consistent across the board, nothing stands out as being "fanedity". This is very polished and professional in it's presentation.

This is kind of an "ongoing project" and only has gotten better as it changes and evolves. If you've ever been interested in Clone Wars but never took the plunge, this is absolutely the best way to do it.

This is one of my favorite projects I've seen come out of the fanediting community in a long time, and I highly encourage everyone to check it out. Great job!
