Never actually watched this, should I be excited?

I've seen a couple episodes of rebels and it was pretty cool, but I never really watched this one

It's not perfect, especially in the earlier seasons. But by season 3, it had pretty well figured it's shit out and was pretty consistent after that. It's an anthology, so it doesn't quite have the same long-form narrative that you'd get from Rebels. You also run the risk of getting an arc of episodes over characters you just don't care about. But on the flip-side, it lets the show tell all sorts of largely self-contained stories, that you might not get otherwise. You get assassination plot-lines. Murder mysteries. Politics. Jail breaks. Buddy cop stories. Gangster stories. Space Vietnam. and so much more.

The series really gets an opportunity to play in the prequels' universe, which was always much more interesting than the movies themselves. It does both the war and the politics side much better than any of the prequels and makes a lot of character way more likable. Anakin in particular is great. You finally get to see the confident, competent, cocky war hero that everyone described Anakin as.

Also it's real violent for a show that aired of Cartoon Network.
