Star Wars Clone Wars Chronological Disney+

About

Star Wars: The Clone Wars is an excellent TV show, but it was aired out of order and it's meant to be watched in the chronological order. This extension automates watching the show in chronological order on the Disney Plus website. It follows the order that the Star Wars website lists https://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-the-clone-wars-chronological-episodeorder but it takes away the work of going back and forth between the Star Wars website and Disney Plus.

If you're new to the show, it will start you at the first episode chronologically. If you have been watching before you installed the extension, then it won't try to adjust the chronological ordering until you start an episode for the first time, so that it can figure out where you are in the show.

Why watch chronologically?:
The creators of the show added a lot to existing episodes by making episodes that built up to them. They frequently added context, character development or motivation that really fleshed out the episode. If you watch the show in chronological order, then everything builds logically in a way that helps the story telling. I'm in no way affiliated with Star Wars or Disney, so I don't know why it was aired out of order. I've heard that there were different reasons for different episodes. Some of them were because later on in the series they realize that there was missing information leading up to earlier episodes, and some of them were because certain episodes took longer to write or produce.

About the v1.1 update:
Google made huge changes to how extensions work. So updating it to keep this working took me a lot of time even though I wasn't changing the functionality. I've been done with the show for years, so I'm not using this anymore and I don't make any money from it. I'd still like it to be perfect, but it is hard for me to prioritize. I think I got it working mostly like it did before, the only difference I see is at the end of an episode, the next episode page now shows the wrong episode. I'm gonna try to fix this whenever I can prioritize it, but it may be slow. I do really want this extension to be great, so there will be more updates in time. However I work a full time job, so it's hard to find time to code on the side.
