The Clone WarsВ was known for using different protagonists for different episodes and story arcs to provide a broader sense of its titular conflict. VisionsВ uses this freedom to depict a panoramic world, with each episode providing a glimpse of a different part of the Star WarsВ galaxy. By contrast, Star Wars: VisionsВ can use elements such as new Sith that would disrupt the main continuity as well as incorporate more familiar characters like Jabba the Hut.

By contrast, the more centralized nature of Disney's trans-media Star WarsВ franchises means that shows like The Bad BatchВ largely have to feature original or side characters and avoid making major changes to the universe. The Clone Wars used this to feature major Star WarsВ characters such as Anakin, Padme, and Obi-Wan. Under the old Expanded Universe model, media outside of the Star WarsВ movies were largely free to fill in the gaps of what happened between episodes. This creative freedom is one of the biggest similarities between Star Wars:В VisionsВ and The Clone Wars. RELATED: Star WarsвЂ™ New Show Does What MarvelвЂ™s What IfвЂ¦?

The studios were given more or less free rein to create their own stories inspired by the Star Wars mythos.

However, this willingness to experiment and break from tradition is exactly what makes it a truer successor to The Clone WarsВ than any of the more straightforward CGI follow-ups, most recently The Bad Batch. The animated anthology uses a completely different art style and approach than the older CGI-animated series.
