Clone Wars: Refocused, The

This is the definitive version of the show for me now. There are a couple of scenes and arcs I would've kept in, but overall this was a pleasant surprise and a great way to watch the series if you're a casual star wars fan that's threatened by the amount of filler in the original series.

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!

(Note: Only fully watched the 1st season, will update this review as I complete more seasons)

I recommend this fan edit :)
Thank you for this fan edit!

I tried and failed to watch the clone wars a couple of times, it was just awkward and kind of boring for me.
This edit not only made it easier to watch clone wars but it did it so well, by the end I have gained so much. A far better understanding and appreciation for Anakin and a massive amount of love for Ahsoka. I am really glad I got to see this.
I can't possibly comment on the ins and outs of the edit, since I have not seen the original past the first episode, but the spreadsheet and presentation is just awesome. The music is by far a very big cherry on the cake. The new music really does set the mood far better than the original theme tune for the clone wars.
I can't express my gratitude enough.
I only have one gripe. The dialogue is hard to understand in noisy scenes, it really does need subtitles if humanly possible.

Finished all episodes for the first time and it was perfectly done. This is the best way to watch this.
