Maul's the fucking best since they brought him back. In Rebels, he's become such a persistent asshole to the Ghost Crew.
Kanan: "Just...just fuck off Maul!"
Best part is that Maul had to ride up with Ahsoka. Talk about awkward.

If Darth Maul is alive, why isn't Mace Windu?

lol love people making these types of claims.
The ground/dirt was the only real thing in that scene, the ground was not CG. There are countless vids and pics of the making of EP2, that was the real ground they were on and the rest was blue screen

Don't forget to watch Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars either. Those were fucking awesome action cartoons especially if you want to see Mace Windu whooping some whole sale ass.
He even shows off he learned Hokuto no Ken.
I love how he also leaps across a battlefield to the top of an enemy weapon, yet can't survive a fall in the films.

Wait, Darth Maul is alive? WHY WOULD YOU POST SPOILERS IN THE TITLE!?!? D:<
I'm gunna be honest with you, I'm a huge SW fan and I didn't know he lived through.. being chopped in half and falling down a shaft? Lol.. wow. I always knew he was in Clones but I didn't realize he was actually alive after his "death" in TPM. That's some Glenn dumpster diving shit right there.
Never seen Clones past S2 or any of Rebels.

There is an two part episode with younger Tarkin in TCW that I think is the best directed non Asoka episode of the show iirc.
The fact that the show doesn't occur in chronological order is what gave us gems like that. There are fantastic small stories here and there even in season 1.

People insulting both the amazing Genndy Clone Wars and the amazing later seasons of CGI Clone Wars. SMH.

It also has some really shitty episodes and arcs that make Episode I look fantastic by comparison, though. The Colonel Glascon shit, in particular.

Rebels you can avoid, but there is some minor Vader stuff that is interesting.
Clones past S2 is the BOMBA!
You see Anakin at the height of his powers (which he never uses in the movies). He is so far beyond any Jedi or Sith when he takes on the Light and Dark side manifestations of the force.
And one of my fav episodes is the final episode of Clone Wars with Yoda. Some fantastic stuff that really gives depth to the characters.
The chronological order was a little scattered for the first two and a half seasons. Where the Nightsisters episodes begin is when the order becomes more linear, and Tarkin first appears in the later episodes of season 3, during the Citadel arc.

Maybe they have to pay Samuel L Jackson for his likeness?

Yeah. Their healthcare involves sticking you with clunky metal parts designed to leave you in anguish and murdering your family members in front of you.

Good lord, the special effects in Clones have no aged well.

Ok.

Unless he survived his death he wouldn't know how to become a Ghost.

Rebels covered both of them.
Leia is a representative of the senate, how is she supposed to constantly be involved in this stuff.
She does what she can in secret.

And what does Wedge do?
I need him to be cool again before I decide if I'll watch.
It's a long show. Plenty of long running shows have episode guides because people only want to watch the top notch stuff. I actually used one for Gilmore Girls recently because I wanted to catch up before the new series.
There's quite a bit of top notch stuff in the later seasons of TCW.
Not much unfortunately. This isn't the show you're looking for.
Leia's cover as a Senate representative allows her the perfect cover to be a spy. As a senator she would be constantly traveling around the galaxy, teaming up with localised resistance groups, comitting heists, going undercover ect. Ashoka is now her bodyguard/protector/mentor as Anakin was to Ashoka. She is also the owner of C3P0 and R2D2.
Anything that a James Bond or Black Widow does. Thats Leia. Which is far more interesting to me then anything happening with the current main rebels cast.

Him and his group of Imperial cadets are fed up with the Empire and are getting ready to defect, Empire finds out about this so The Rebels send Sabine undercover to make sure everything goes all right.
Hasn't shown him again in 6 episodes because it hasn't focused much on fleet stuff in a bit.
Probably coming back a good bit in the back half of the season going by the trailer.
So basically Sabine is Leia

If you only care about the Darth Maul/Mandalore plot, yes.
It -is- in my opinion the best long running story arc in the show though.
Only if you don't mind missing out on a bunch of other really great episodes, including some of the best moments in the franchise.

I'm unclear- have you actually watched the show? Because whiny Anakin and spinning Yoda are largely only movie things. Anakin is surprisingly non-whiny for the vast majority of the show. And Yoda is primarily used in his (proper) mentor role throughout the show instead of the backflipping frog from AotC and RotS.
Septimus Prime

It's kind of confusing early on, though, especially when the recaps mix in chronologically past events that you never saw with clips from prior episodes. Like, even in one of the very first episodes, there's a recap clip of Anakin fighting with Dooku that isn't from any episode before or after.
Jar Jar Binks obviously.

Every episode has a "recap" segment at the beginning voiced by Yularen, even episodes at the beginning of arcs or that are standalone. They're the show's equivalent of the title crawl that's in front of the films. I think it's a neat touch and I liked it a lot.

Okay people in here and in general are hyping up the CGI Clone Wars but every time I try to get into it it's just kind of ugly? It's never really all that visually exciting and that sort of kills it for me, does that change as it goes on later?

The animation gets better over time along with general technical improvements, but the art style never changes.
TDLink

The budget increased to "whatever the fuck they want to do" level in Season 3. The animation and quality notably improves around there, and continues to approve. Season 5 and 6 are some of the best CG animation you've ever seen and probably will see for quite a while. It does maintain that art style though.
Razgriz-Specter

Pretty much this, quality gets way better but the style is consistent .
Designs do get better though,

I think its weird
1. He died from the fall
2. He was hunted down like most Jedi (except Obi and Yoda)
3. Lived
statically chances are not great, plus wouldn't Luke found him, he seems to have prediction skills like emperor in ep4.
