Clone Wars had Kenobi and Duchess Satin, and stuff like the Pong Krell story arc, but it was also set in a war and closely followed the clones who were soldiers, I think it's kind of darker by design. People who don't like Ezra also probably weren't on the internet for that first season of Clone Wars - people flat out hated Ahsoka. I mean dorks were losing their damn minds.
I think Rebels season 2 to the end was consistently stronger though with higher highs than Clone Wars, IMO. It helps that they included Thrawn, a guy who I've been imagining since like 1995 in my head after reading those Timothy Zahn books so I am biased here.
When I first watched the show, I was a little confused as well. After watching it through the first time, I found a chronological order of the series and watched it that way. Definitely better.
Yeah, that was weird. Especially since Filoni came from Avatar: The Last Airbender, which was as well told of a story and very linear as you can get, I think he was just envisioning Clone Wars as a series of short stories or something like that, especially in the wake of the Tartakovsky Clone Wars.
Wonder if George Lucas made the decision to make the episodes singular in nature, but than Dave was able to convince him later.
I've watched some stuff on the production of it, Lucas hired Filoni specifically and kind of gave him the keys. Gave him some potential story stuff but everything he told him was extremely gray.
I'm with you somewhat on the Ashoka vs Ezra comparison. However for me, both improved as time went on, but Ezra only improved slightly while Ashoka DRASTICALLY improved. While I'm digging the Ashoka live-action stuff, I think she is at her peak in this most recent final season of Clone Wars. Her battle on Mandalore vs Maul was spectacular.
In case people still didn't like how Mando took over some of the Book of Boba Fett and thought Boba Fett should be a standalone. Disney confirms its part of the Mandalorian universe which is centered around Mando. Makes you think about it a little bit differently now and hopefully appreciate it more.

Just got back from Disney like 2 weeks ago - it's 1,200 a night for the cheapest room. Some of them are like 3,000 a night.
Star Wars land was cool but man that's a lot of money.
Really excited for this. This also seems to set up for the reason why Owen Lars has a hatred for Obi-Wan we see in a New hope. Looks like Owen gets in to harms way with one of the inquisitors.
Best part is that we know Obi kicks everyone’s ass and doesn’t die in this series.
I miss the old EU canon when he was Obi-wan's brother. That dynamic would have been fun to explore.
