The Clone Wars: My Review of Seasons 1 & 2 w/ Tiermaker Episode Ranking ✦ YouTube Edit
Added 2022-07-02 17:43:06 +0000 UTCHi everyone! I hope that you all are having a great weekend. Mine has started off rocky. I became very unwell early Thursday morning and pretty much spent all of Thursday and most of Friday either in bed or in the bathroom. 😭 Not sure what I came down with.
Anyway, I'm feeling much better which means I'm super excited to bring you early access to my first Clone Wars video for YouTube! This is a review and ranking video that is very chit-chatty, but covers off my brief thoughts on every single episode along with a ranking of each episode on a Tiermaker list. I also include a handful of reaction moments throughout (mostly in Season 2, but there's a few in Season 1 too).
This video was something VERY new for me to make, and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. I've decided that future review and ranking videos are just going to cover one season at a time. I did NOT expect this video to end up this long and when I realized, I had already put so much work in and didn't want to redo anything. So please forgive the length, although if you watch my movie reactions, you'll be used to it anyway. 😊

This is also the video that has my first ever channel sponsor! 🥳
BetterHelp was very kind to reach out to me a few weeks ago to talk about a sponsorship on the channel, and I've always wanted to give them a try for therapy. They not only gave me access to their service to use for a bit, which I have been and am really enjoying, but I am able to gvie you 10% off your first month when you sign up using this link: betterhelp.com/kaiielle.
I don't think I could have had a better first sponsor for the channel and I am really hoping this is something that I can offer consistently and not just a one-time thing. I'm a huge believer in therapy and think that everyone can benefit from it. It's really helped me out with so many aspects of my life since I started in the fall of 2020.
Here is the direct link to the review video.
Thank you so much for watching!

Originally I had the chapters split out as just "Season One" and "Season Two" but then I changed my mind and split it out per story arc. Felt that was better anyway!

2022-07-03 17:00:34 +0000 UTCIt's going to be really interesting to see how these rankings hold up as you get through the later seasons. Episodes continue to get better as the seasons go on, so after seasons 4-7 it'd be interesting to see how the S/A tier episodes now compare in the long run

2022-07-03 13:26:15 +0000 UTCIt is great your doing this for non Patreon members. I echo the sentiment doing shorter ones for every season would be a good idea going forward.

2022-07-03 08:08:27 +0000 UTCLiterally the best expression. I laughed again pulling those moments back up to put in the video!

2022-07-03 01:19:04 +0000 UTCGreat recap and review. I don't really have much to comment on as I agree with your thoughts on the episodes. Well, if I should comment on something, the look on Anakin's face with regards to Satine and Obi-Wan.... Priceless 😂

2022-07-03 01:15:03 +0000 UTCI think it's hard to rank episodes because there weren't any episodes that I considered bad at all. So it was really just trying to rank them based on how much I liked them, with the D tier being "I liked it" and every tier above it being a little bit more enjoyable. I love R2 too much, and that duology is one I can actually remember pretty well.

2022-07-02 23:06:35 +0000 UTCMy personal opinion: Mostly don't disagree with your rating, but I'd place the two Ahsoka and Barriss episodes from Geonosis much higher, at least A, I love how Ahsoka has someone her age in the Jedi Order who she really can call a friend, and I love their developing relationship. I also love how Ahsoka and Anakin's relationship is being contrasted with Barriss and Luminara. I also love how Ahsoka and Barriss do not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for the greater good, that's what Jedi should do. The fact that they survive, doesn't diminish that in the moment, they did what was a decision to sacrifice themselves. I also love the tough choice Ahsoka faces at the end of the worm episode, and also love the explanation Anakin gives. On the other hand, as much as I love R2D2, the Rescue of R2D2 was one of the most forgettable episodes in the series.

2022-07-02 22:59:25 +0000 UTCWell, I won't be going over *full* thoughts in these videos cause otherwise that takes away from the Patreon benefit a little bit, but yes that was my thinking as well. Fine to have the two more mediocre seasons in one video and then dedicate one video to each season for the other 5 seasons! Looking forward to it and thank you as well for saying this!

2022-07-02 22:35:03 +0000 UTCJust finished watching. Great video, kept me engaged on where you placed each episode. I would agree that if this the length that you're gonna get covering two seasons in one it might be better to condense that down into one season per video, especially considering you're probably gonna have a lot more to say with some of the future arcs
