You're right, for some reason I thought they were shorter. Maybe because I binged them in pretty quick succession. Season 1 does pick up quite a bit toward the end. Let me know your feelings once you watch the season finale.

BIG NEWS ON GOGRU!!!!!!
Hey, so Bill have you taken the Clone Wars/Rebels plunge yet?
That's great! As Brian can attest, The Clone Wars is a great story, the series really illuminates a lot about the prequels. And then with Rebels we jump forward about 15 years but some of the characters come back and we see what they're up to right before the Galactic Civil War breaks out for good, leading into Episode 4.
I have however, been collecting a lot of shit from Hasbro!!! My grandson loves this stuff, but alas I only let him look not play with it!!! lol
If you're delving more into the comics, check out Doctor Aphra. She's a comics-only Indiana Jones-like character that I feel might be the next breakout character if they will have her in one of the upcoming live action series. Should could appear in Kenobi, probably.
Yes! I love Ahsoka, and you will see more of her, indeed. I don't want to spoil too much, but I'm excited for you about midway through Season 2, for... more Ahsoka, let's say. I'm sure you'll know when you see! And I believe it does get darker and more serious, now that our group of characters are part of the birth of the Rebel Alliance. Things will only get more serious from here on out.
Also, if you're looking for more Clone Wars, there's a few more things you can check out:

Huh, I'm a little disappointed that no one has commented on the video's I posted. I thought it was some very interesting theories/reveals about where they are going with SW. Is it old news to you guys?
Pretty interesting stuff, Bill, but sounds like very much unsubstantiated rumors for the most part. There are rumors also that they will retcon the sequel trilogy using time travel/alternate universes (watch Star Wars Rebels for how), but that will never happen. The sequel trilogy is canon, it's not going away. I don't understand these people. Original Trilogy people also wanted to retcon the prequels and now they're the basis for so much of the canon, especially with The Clone Wars.
I hate to disagree, Brian, but I really like the sequel stuff. I don't get the hate. The Last Jedi is one of my favorite SW movies ever. And if we're counting Rogue One, then that too.
Yeah, I agree. The ret-conning the prequels stuff seemed pretty out there and not very likely to happen (Kind of be a BIG Fuck You to George Lucas, no?), but there was some other interesting stuff brought up and I figured it might instigate some conversation. The "GoGru" stuff was good though don't you think?
I liked the sequels well enough, and also don't understand the hate. They were far from perfect, but retconning them will just make things worse. Move on to new and better stories, I say.
By the way, I didn't realize that Katie Sackoff voiced Bo-Katan for years in the animated series. That's great they were able to have her portray Bo-Katan in the live action Mandalorian. Obviously the right choice, but the right choice doesn't always get made.

"I liked the sequels well enough, and also don't understand the hate. They were far from perfect, but retconning them will just make things worse. Move on to new and better stories, I say".
I couldn't agree more. You wanted them, you got 'em. Live with it and move on. It's funny in a way because as I understand it one of the main beef's with the prequels was the fact that everything looked too new and shiney!!! LOL They have a point there, but really? You'd dismiss 3 iconic movies because of that and Jar-Jar Binks? lol Same goes for the disdain folks have for the Ewoks. Okay, maybe, Lucas was playing to the children a little too much, I mean they're no exactly my favorite SW characters either but, you kill the entire RoTJ film because of those little furry freaks? lol I think some folks just need to get over themselves. lol lol IMO anyway.
I mean, I'm not any kind of expert, but Rosario Dawson seems pretty much like perfect casting for an older Ahsoka. I gotta say I think they nailed it.
HBJ
ABSOLUTELY!!! She's perfect for the role which, according to what I've heard will be expanding significantly in the near future.
Also, to whomever submitted the positive Rep to me. THANK YOU, it's appreciated to get positive rep for a change!!! lol lol I'm mellowing out a little these days I think. lol
(And to be clear, while they nailed the casting, Dawson nailed the role. To give credit where it's due).

Rose and I will be starting Clone Wars soon. After Cobra Kai Season 3, but before Walking Dead Season 5 and Glee Season 5. And now we just started WandaVision, lol.
"And now we just started WandaVision, lol".
Episode IV is a doozy!!! Hang in there until then if you don't like the first three episodes. It seems that the show is an acquired taste for some. They don't care for the sitcom thing, but never fear, the true MCU is never far away!!! lol
