Yes! Would love a live-action Star Wars series... I couldn't get in to those animated ones unfortunately.
Trust me, I've tried to watching both, but they're just not for me... the only animated shows I can get in to seem to be comedies like Simpsons, South Park, Rick & Morty etc.I LOVE Rebels! Its very enjoyable if you give it a chance.
I never finished Clone Wars... really should get to that. Both shows do skew to a younger audience, but I still like them.
Lucasfilm has announced that Emmy-nominated producer and actor Jon Favreau has signed on to executive produce and write a live-action Star Wars TV series for Disney’s new direct-to-consumer platform. Favreau is no stranger to the Star Wars galaxy having played roles in both the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series and in the upcoming Solo: A Star Wars Story.
“I couldn’t be more excited about Jon coming on board to produce and write for the new direct-to-consumer platform,” says Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. “Jon brings the perfect mix of producing and writing talent, combined with a fluency in the Star Wars universe. This series will allow Jon the chance to work with a diverse group of writers and directors and give Lucasfilm the opportunity to build a robust talent base.”
Favreau add: “If you told me at 11 years old that I would be getting to tell stories in the Star Wars universe, I wouldn’t have believed you. I can’t wait to embark upon this exciting adventure.”
Great to have an update on this. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

I tried both but couldn't get in to them at all... the only animated shows I seem to like nowadays are ones with lots of adult humour, otherwise I just feel like I'm watching a kids cartoon lol. Maybe I'll give them another go at some point though... I mean, it is Star Wars after all!Have you tried watching the Genndy Tartakovsky 2005 Animated Clone Wars Series? That's a marvel of animation and does wonder with purely visual story-telling.
I really disliked The Clone Wars- it was a tonal nightmare, it's story seemed scatterbrained, the writing was inconsistent from episode to episode- and of the 6 seasons, I can count maybe 6 episodes that I like.
Star Wars Rebels fairs a bit better- Season 1 takes a slow start- but the Season 2 opener "The Seige of Lothal" is really strong... and the series, while suffering from SOME of the same issues that plagued The Clone Wars- has some truly memorable moments with some very well done sequences. If you can't get in to it- you're not really missing much- but if you're desperate for more Star Wars, Rebels is a fine way to fill that void.
Ok… dunno if I should be thriller or what but at the moment, does Nothing for me… wait and see...Officially titled The Mandalorian
