Star Wars: The Clone Wars premiered on Cartoon Network 10 years ago today, and over the next six seasons the show told some incredible stories that have had a lasting impact on the Star Wars saga. While each 22-minute episode can technically stand on its own, the show increasingly told its stories in two-to-five episode arcs which, when watched in one sitting, feel like a complete Star Wars film. In fact, Lucasfilm often edited arc episodes together for special screenings, and any fan will tell you that arc-by-arc is the best way to experience the show.
Updates:
5/3/20 — With Season 7 now streaming on Disney+, we’ve updated our viewing guide below with the new episodes.
4/26/21 — Updated the placement of Ahsoka’s Walkabout based on the latest from StarWars.com.
