I think you guys should watch these in arcs because it'll go faster instead of watching 2 episodes.

People probably told you already but to explain the thing with episdes being out of order chronologically:As far as I'm aware, the episodes were released in the orther they were produced for the most part. In fact, back when I was a wee lad, the first episode of Clone Wars on Cartoon Network was "Ambush" (the Yoda episode) followed by "Malevolence" (The big ion ship episode). I don't know why this happened, tho the reasons might range from poor schedule, animators getting their into their groove slowly, to working on multiple episodes at the same time and having no choice but to fullfil their contract on time.
However, this is only the case for "Season 1" episodes. Any episode from Season 2 that fits chronologically in Season 1 timeline were ideas by Gorge Lucas himself to fill and explain any gaps in previous season. Of course, the writers (even Dave Filoni) said: "But Gorge, you can't do that. That's a plot hole. You can't fill it after the fact.", to which Gorge responded: "Here's my argument: I am Gorge Lucas, I am rich and here's the money and script for you, have a good day's work!"
PS. Any time the series required more budget than the Network allowed them to have, Gorge would pay from his own pocket. Think what you will about about the guy but you can't argue he was a man of vision (maybe still is? I fell of the new about him for a long time).

it being out of order makes sense because its an anthology or collection of shorter storys in a common setting that arent connected, hence it shows particular battles or moments in the war.

So a fun note about not wiping R2's memory, droids in Star Wars are supposed to have their memories wiped ever few months to prevent bugs, but if they aren't they tend to form personalities that vary
For example, the Battle Droids have way too much info being shoved into them so they can do all the jobs they were never meant to do, this causes them to act the way they do

The movie was the series pilot, it was intended to air ahead of what became Season 1 Episode 1, but either Lucas or some other exec decided the story could work as a movie. Movie or not, it is the series pilot. It is the thing you would see before watching the series proper. Also this is an anthology, the story is free to bounce around different characters and different time periods. For instance knowing the story of Hevy and his lot prior to this adds to it, but by the time that episode actually aired you know Fives and Echo much more than you do now, so the flash back felt worthwhile where it originally happened.

Domino squad actually lost 3 members. One of the clones who got shot in the beginning was Droidbait, their 5th member.

Fun fact velma was always going to have a second season, because HBO took one season and split it in half to pay the animators less

You are probably right that a lot of this made less sense out of order, I was 8 or 9 when this season came out and all I really cared about back then was the amount of explosions in a given episode, but I imagine that’s probably a big reason as to why the first season isn’t remembered as fondly by people who saw it when it came out.

Holy shit, I don't even remember the second episode. I need to rewatch S1 again. Also, about thr Acolyte cancelation, while it wasn't as good as I hoped, it had enough interesting things that a S2 could've expanded upon, giving it a chance to fix the pacing issues the show had. So it's a bit of a shame, but I think it's more indicative of the exorbitant budgets these streaming shows had as opposed to the actual ratings. It did NOT look like a show that cost almost 200 mil, and if it was significantly cheaper, they definitely would've continued it. Plenty of shows had met 1st seasons that grew into must watches by S2 or S3.

From what I remember, Velma did NOT get a second season because of "hate watching". It got a second season because it was ordered with a set amount of episodes that was then split into two seasons. Hate watching doesn't cause as much impact as people like to think it does, for good or ill.

Found no evidence of it getting a season 2 because of episodes ordered. But when we discuss hate watching, what we're mostly referring to is that those numbers count the same as fans of the show watching it, and companies don't care either way, because it became Max's most watched animated show, which is why it most likely got a season 2.

So fun fact the R2 going missing episode was the very first episode that was produced, you can probably tell by how the characters look compared to other episodes, they look not as good as the other episodes. But yeah watching in chronological order certainly helps build the connections better, but you wouldn't be lost if you watched it in release order either. Kinda like how the movies released

Well the armor is effective but not at that point blank range, also the armor is meant to dispurse the energy so that's why even when shot a lot of times clones just get knocked out since the same applies to the storm trooper armor

Acolyte got cancelled for not being good in the eyes of a massive amount of people. The haters were obnoxious, and I had no interest in interacting, but the show did nothing for far too many. Hope they put their attention towards more interesting stories like Skeleton Crew, looks great.
