When you don’t have the time/effort to watch the actual series, the Man of Recaps is your man.

[@ashketchum1953]

i agree

[@justyourfriendlyneighbourh1268]

of recaps

[@jakob8940]

if you have the time to watch the Ahsoka show, you have time to watch clone wars

[@seanhaines5481]

Clone Wars is 100000% worth watching

[@Kosmonaut_42]

When you have already seen both shows dozens of times and need a new way to process it, the Man of Recaps is your man.

[@slarouche]

This is the best clone/rebels recap ever done. So many details other recaps didn't mentioned. Thank you

[@MFTKR]

No mortis or sword of Talzin ?

[@primal1233]

Ahsoka Tano and Anakin's relationship is one the greatest Star Wars relationships

[@joshuarobinson6011]

I’ve always felt like ahsoka going to mustafar could’ve pulled anakin back from him falling because of that relationship. With obi wan anakin always hated him a little bit for “holding him back” etc but he never had that with ahsoka and the only thing anakin could’ve used was her leaving the order and him which he couldn’t use since he’s thought about it before. It’s interesting how with Star Wars such a small change could have massive consequences

[@mynamejeffhjhjh8980]

@@joshuarobinson6011yeah I feel like the outcome for anakin and the entire story in general would be very different if Ashoka and her relationship with Anakin had been included in the movies

[@robfarleyli]

3 years ago i made the commitment to watch both of these series on my lunch breaks at work. Well worth it for diehard fans. But as usual, the Man of Recaps is able to boil down to the important points without wasting a single word.

[@manuellanampeera3048]

That makes two of us.😂😂

[@SuperRONDALE]

Bruh. I forgot I didn’t finish rebels, this man did a really good recap

[@joaomarcosjunqueira4965]

How the hell these shows, supposedly made for kids, are so freaking good and full of meaningful moments and the new movies suck so much?? Thank you for this Recap, Man!

[@code2works]

The only answer is: Dave Filoni!

[@gothbossbaby]

After S3, Clone Wars is hardly a kids show at times. which is awesome and kinda hilarious

[@joshhunt4146]

@@gothbossbabyI mean it defo is… just because it features dark material doesn’t mean that it’s not a kids show

[@gothbossbaby]

@@joshhunt4146 yeah that’s why i said “at times” lmao

[@epicty3607]

It’s the same thing that made stuff like Teen Titans so good

[@marlonbascombe3427]

"Our bad that was" - had me weak. LOL

[@fredskull1618]

As a Star Wars fan, the animated series stuck with me because of its rich character development, like Ahsoka's transformation, and the ways they explore moral complexity. The recurring theme of seeking individuality, coupled with emotional moments like Order 66…all quite good. I love how the shows maintain continuity with the broader universe, but managed to introduce a diverse cast of new characters. The intrigue and plot twists keep me on the edge of my seat…good stuff! Excellent recap as always!

[@hal1234]

Even better was they developed for all that grew up with the show too. As kids got older, the show got darker and more mature too!

[@starsapphire156]

'Ahsoka the White'! You are so perfect, Man of Recaps! I've been watching on and off since 2019, never change.

[@gigasus77]

best channel ever!! so dam useful u do these recaps perfectly!

Hi there pegasus

This is actually peak content Love this dude and his channel

[@slightybelowaverage]

I have told so many people about your channel, and you’ve done it again. Legendary stuff dude, thank you.

[@manuelsoares9698]

I very very much wanted to know the entirety of this series but so much to watch, thank you for filling in all the gaps in a very time sensitive way and entertaining at the same time, thank you!

[@andrewpennys823]

As a massive Star Wars fan I watched both of these but I’ll still always watch Man of Recaps. I really advise people who like Star Wars to watch The Clone Wars it’s 10/10. A recap doesn’t do it justice. Plus Rebels should be watched before Ahsoka.

[@PoPo-qp8zq]

Giant tentacles whale that can travel through light speed? that's terrifying and seem like something from Warhammer 40k

[@Caprious]

Never thought this recap would happen.

[@khanhcamhoang2118]

Man, i was curious about the series the day before but didn't have the time to watch the entire thing and you essentially cover the entire main Star Wars movies with the video. Lovely work as always! Looking forward to your Bad Batch recap!

[@PaperMario64]

Dave Filoni is amazing and so is George Lucas for seeing it and greenlighting his ideas.

[@insecdroid]

I literally just finished my rewatch of Rebels yesterday.

[@changezali]

I love this guy. He makes recaps so entertaining.

[@cattameme]

I really love how you match what youre saying with the videos. Or matching the videos with your script.

[@Tytanic2002]

That was awesome... I have seen all of Clone wars and Rebels and I thought "There is no WAY he could recap both series in 17:44!!! But that was quite concise. Well done!

[@AlterKing305]

Props to you man, so many things to go over in both shows but you manage to get all the important info to new viewers

[@ShowLover3000]

Watching this gave me chills...I can't wait for the Ahsoka series!!

[@Specialist_99]

Words cant describe how happy i am ur recapping this. I have watched both series more than 5 times each and are imo, top 2 best star wars medias and definitely top 2 favorite tv shows for myself

[@dedatos]

I've been a fan for a long time, i think this is your best work yet. thank you.

[@jtlane5402]

Even having recently watched these, your recaps are still always amazing

[@elbaecc]

That was quite a recap, dude. Let's see where Ashoka picks up from and where it goes.

[@Teamo86]

I watched all the shows when they came out, but damn. This was impressive.

[@CSLintheCASINO]

EXACTLY what I needed ✅

[@RealMan42088]

This is the perfect video before watching Ahsoka season 1.

[@expelledangel]

That orange tuxedo shirt goes hard

[@sarahmadsen635]

Thank you this was great! I’ve watched both before but couldn’t remember everything and it’s a lot of tv to get through so thanks!

[@manuellanampeera3048]

Thanks Man of Recaps. I stopped on season 4 of clone wars and season 2 of rebels. This whole time i thought that Ahsoka died but shes still alive

[@JMart6]

I’ve been told these are great shows but just haven’t made the effort to watch them. This recap is excellent! And complete with a visual timeline!

[@jordengg3629]

“Asoka the white” lol, your humor is the best

[@mongkolchaik5865]

Thank you for Recapping this!

[@DemonPorkRAWR]

Never really watched either show, I do like Star Wars lore, so this is a great recap. Thanks. 👏🏾

[@jakob8940]

watch them

[@epicty3607]

I strongly recommend you watch this. There’s soo much extra lore you don’t get from the movies and other Star Wars related media

[@pa1arora]

Everything we need recap, you're there! 🙌

[@samperalez4108]

I remember asking for this recap! Thank you! Like 1 million times thank you!

[@ThrasherMurat]

it's been some time that I've watched TCW and rebels, and I wanted to rewatch them before watching the ahsoka show, but didnt have much time. This is so useful, thank you!

[@God.-_-]

I’m so glad you made this. I could never get into clone wars because of the animation style. A real hero right here!

[@axelaxel2952]

At last! I've been waiting for a recap of this show thx so much!!!! ❤❤

[@icyjules]

Thank you for this, great vid as always!

[@augustsalamander3652]

Thanks for this video! I thought I was going to have to rush clone wars and rebels before ahsoka comes out but I think now I will just come back after ahsoka and watch them. You saved me from feeling stressed about having to watch it fast, now I can enjoy it to its fullest after I’m done with ahsoka!

Thank You, MAN OF RECAPS!!! I was hoping....I was praying .....and MAN OF RECAPS COMES THROUGH!
