Good chance of it, its one TV series that I'm glad I bought. Once in a while its nice to rip through the series again.
There were some really good episodes in the first clone war series.
The one where Anakin faces Ventress for the first time. There was one where Anakin was exposed to his future as Vader.
It focused more on Jedi then the old Clone Soldiers, but that's what I liked about the Filoni series.
There was a book in the old legends EU, the Rise of Darth Vader which covered the change over to the Empire, what happened to the surviving Jedi.
The Jedi were heart broken when the Clone Troopers because their enemies and it hurt them to kill them when they became storm troopers.
The other great thing was how Vader went from a shattered man that was forced by Palpatine (Who's a major dick in this book, but the wheels were turning, he knew he had to complete Anakins recovery at his own Peril. There was a great chapter when Anakin was filled with self pity and loathing and Palpatine asked him why he kept on living, and Vader didn't know. Then Palpatine asked him if he was unhappy serving his master and he made Anakin realize that Palpatine was his path to power and when Palpatine was no more use he wouldn't need him anymore)
If you can find the book as a Star Wars fan its one of the best written books in the EU in my opinion. People talk about Vader being this pitiful creature that deserves sympathy, and in the beginning of the book you feel that way, but by the end you get the super powerful, fully ok with his choices Vader, and you stop feeling bad for him)
