Part of becoming an in depth Star Wars fan means watching Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It is impossible to truly appreciate everything happening in the current TV shows unless you have seen the Clone Wars.

However, not everyone has the time to invest into 7 seasons with almost 20 episodes per season. One article says that to watch all of the Clone Wars it would take 2 days, 18 hours, and 30 minutes (Life Hacker Article).

That's why I have made this Guide to Star Wars: The Clone Wars with five levels of commitment, each level increasing the number of episodes you watch.

Key - The list is organized by season with the episode #. Not all of them have their official title here. When there are groups of episodes that carry on a plot line, I've titled those as a description of that plot line and who is involved.

Level 1 - low commitment - important to understanding the plots of current TV shows
