While I'm still a big fan of Disney+, lately I feel like they're watering down some of their brands (such as Star Wars) by pushing out low-effort storylines coupled with rehashed digital assets. For instance, the animation in the new "Tales of the Jedi" show that was released recently looks very similar to the animated Star Wars shows released 15 years ago. On the other hand, I thoroughly enjoyed the animation and storylines in "Star Wars: Visions", so it's not exactly like they're sinking the ship or anything.
I strongly recommend going back and watching some of the 15 years ago Clone Wars to re-asses that observation. I'm rewatching it now and the difference is stark.
Yes, the art style is similar. The animation quality isn't remotely close. The environments aren't remotely close. Clone Wars environments, especially the outdoor ones, are extremely bland and repetitive.

Clone Wars was exactly what I was referring to, and upon your recommendation I did a side-by-side comparison, and you're definitely right about the quality. The general rendering quality (especially the environments) have not only improved from a technical standpoint, but it's also clear that more care has been put into the work.
I guess my only complaint is the reuse of the style from the Clone Wars series. To play devil's advocate to myself, I didn't really follow Clone Wars. I was only aware of it. I can imagine that long time fans would be happy to see the style continue.
