When hosting a SW viewing for weeks to months, I will always opt for the microseries and skip the hifi TCW series - especially for 1st-timers. This puts the emphasis on the movies, rather than making newcomers sit through years' worth of cartoons as their Star Wars experience. The Clone Wars microseries makes an exciting full-length extra episode, which sits perfectly between Eps. 2 & 3, while the hifi TCW series does not add anything profound - especially if the point is to lead toward the original movie series. For the same reasons, I won't include Resistance, Rebels, or the Mandalorian; additionally, I will place the Family Guy recap of the original series at the end. The Family Guy retellings are a necessity, now that the unimpressive sequel series is complete.
