Star Wars rebels vs the clone wars

I have recently started the Rebels show, and so far I am very on the fence. While I like the idea of seeing more story about what happened between Episode 3 and 4, there is a lot I dislike about the new toon. One odd thing being the new look of the lightsabers...they look like thin little sticks. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this?

The clone wars was awesome, haven't watched much of rebels but everything I've seen looks kind of funny

Oh yeah i forgot about th weird thin lightsabers

Huh alright I can see why they made the lightsabers different now. I still find it kind of odd though. I would tell anyone that hasn't seen Rebels to go ahead and watch it. Myself, I prefer the Clone Wars series.

Rebels like the clone wars gets better the further into it you get

I was reluctant to to watch clone wars after the previous animated disaster of the clone wars...however the CGI clone wars actually impressed me, then this game was released just after i finished watching most of it.

Rebels aint on netflix yet, and i watched a few of rebels via various media and it left a bad taste in my mouth. I will reserve my opinion till i can binge watch rebels on netflix, but already i am disinclined to it...the itty-bitty lightsaber committe has got to go.

@vessaharja which regions are these select regions?

I dislike clone wars cause there is no continuity to the storyline. I mean, if you skip an episode, no problem, you don't lose anything storywise. If you skip 10 episodes - same. Miss a season - no problem. What's the point if watching then?
Rebels at least have some overall plot.

Clone Wars is more backstory than plot. It shows you how some characters developed over the course of the war, and gave you more insight into what was happening in the galaxy where the movies could not. It also allowed us to follow multiple people around, rather than just the skywalker family. I think they also realized they didn't have enough plot to begin with, which is why they began making more lengthy plotlines towards the end of the series.

I've only watched season 1 of rebels, and it wasn't great, but it was alright. I'm hoping to watch more of it, but haven't been able to.

Clone Wars has some really awesome episodes, some of them you can skip. Only about a season and a half through Rebels, and I enjoyed Clone Wars more so far. Anakin, Ahsoka, Kenobi and Rex make that show great.
