Star Wars Season 1: A Brief Grading System

Star Wars rebels is over but here is how I feel it went

Note: If I was grading this in comparison to Star wars the Clone Wars then the highest score would be a 4 but here I am judging them in comparison to each other

1. Part 1: Spark of a Rebellion  - Quite a bad introduction to the rebels saga 2/5

2. Part 2: Spark of a Rebellion - Wookie mania. Kanan introduces himself as a Jedi 3/5

3. Droids in Distress - Always good to see C 3P0 and R2 D2  4/5

4. Fighter Flight - Stealing a TIE Fighter is the only thing that happens (and getting some fruit) 1/5

5. Rise of the Old Masters - The first lightsaber duel of the series 5/5

6. Breaking Ranks - Ezra does tend to make things a little boring 2/5

7. Out of Darkness - Aah! A monster is coming from the Darkness 1/5

8. Part 1: Empire Day - Okay tail. Poor security from the Imperial Forces 3/5

9. Part 2: Gathering Forces - A Big Huge beast attacking the Inquisitor 3/5

10. Path of a Jedi - Return of Yoda 4/5

11. Idiot's Array - Lando makes this tail more pleasing, without him it would be worse 4/5

12. Vision of Hope - A Good guy is now a bad guy  3/5

13. Part 1: Call to Action - Grand Moff Tarkin arrives and imminently captures a jedi 5/5

14. Part 2: Rebel Resolve - Not as good sequel 3/5

15. Part 3: Fire Across the Galaxy - Ahsoka is Fulcrum! Darth Vader! The Inquisitor Dead! so many shocks, thank goodness Bail Organa wasn't Fulcrum 5/5

I know this reviews were brief but they gave my opinion in a short way.

Star Wars: The Clone wars best episodes Season 1 part 1

Lair of Grievous - The final part of the Nute Gunray trilogy. General Grievous is quite menacing here, which is good. He kill Nahdar, a jedi knight which I think was good. An All round good story.

Bombad Jedi - The first part of the Nute Gunray trilogy. The whole thing is hilarious. Jar Jar and C 3P0 are very funny in this. I love it.

Destroy Melvelonce - This is the final part of the Melvelonce Trilogy. I like this one because I find it funny and I like he team that are there. Obi Wan is excellent as well as C 3P0 and R2 D2. It's a weird way to finish a darkish story with a funny episode but I still really enjoy it.

Rising Melvelonce - This is the first of a trilogy of episodes about the Melvelonce. This is the first time we see Plo Koon speak. Plo Koon was a jedi council member who appeared in all three of the prequel films. Ahsoka and Anakin work together to find him in his escape pod. I used to like a lot more then I do now.

Ambush - Yoda is very good in this episode, a good introduction to the series and a good character to start the series with. The way Yoda interacts with the the other characters reminds me of him in The Empire Strikes Back.

Cloak of Darkness - This the second part of the Nute Gunray trilogy. This story is good enough. Asajj Ventress V Luminara is alright. Gree is good in this story.

Duel of Droids - Second part of a two part story. Better than the previous one. The fight between General Grievous and Ahsoka annoyed me because if General Grievous can fight 3 jedi masters and 2 jedi knights at the same time an win then why can't he kill a jedi padawan, who is barely of being a younling. It does not make sense.

Rookies - Rookies is a very popular episode. It's popular because people like clones. I am not a fan of the clones. Rookies is not as good as people think. I like Rex and Cody in it but the other clones are just alright.

Shadow of Melvelonce - The second part of the Melvelonce trilogy. Unfortunately for the episode it is a space adventure. I do not like space adventures in the Clone wars series or in the films (with the exception of Battle over Endor), I just find them really boring.

Downfall of a Droid - The first part of a two part story. Rubbish. Anakin and Ahsoka go around a stinky ship and fight some assassin droids.

I'll review Season 1 part 2 another time
