I have to admit I haven't ventured into the clone wars series. I don't know why but the animated stuff never appealed to me. I did watch the Droids and Ewoks cartoons as a kid though.
the clone wars show isn't for everyone of course, but i loved it and i always recommend it!
i think it adds so much! and while the animation in the first few seasons is a bit…rough, it gets really good as the show progresses and is just amazing in the last few seasons. story wise it's somewhat similar in my opinion, there are some episodes that are just kind of fun to watch, but especially as you get further into the show just wow! cried my eyes out more than once. plus it really adds a lot to why anakin turned to the dark side among other things. it's just really good!
(if you ever decide to watch it, here is a good overview of how to watch the episodes in chronological order

An example of a more recent case of that would be the mods in TBoBF. They're such a literal interpretation of the actual mods that used to ride around on scooters. It's really cringy I think.
so far i'm not so sure how i feel about the book of boba overall, i'm enjoying it but not sure where i'd rank it. but i gotta say i felt the same when i saw those scooters, i was kind of like what is this? it felt so out of place and not really very star wars to me.
I have been quite happy with his approach to The Madolorian though. The only things I wasn't too crazy about were some casting choices and 'the way' thing. It's certainly been a lot closer to capturing the essence of the original trilogy though.
i really enjoyed the mandalorian!
i do get what you mean about "this is the way", but i don't know i think it's also kind of fun. i definitely said it a lot with one of my friends after we both watched the show haha.
Is Favereau handling Obi Wan or is that a new director? I could look it up I know. I hope Kathleen Kennedy doesn't get her fingers into it. She annoys the shit out of me.
deborah chow is directing obi wan and i was looking up a bit of stuff and she directed two episodes in the first season of the mandalorian which along with some other stuff i saw she directed makes me even more excited for the show!
