I didn't like the first episode of the Clovis arc, but I agree that the other episodes from it were surprisingly good. The show really got into some dark material with Anakin and Padme. I think that was the most development we've ever seen in their relationship beyond "Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but let's throw away all our professional responsibilities and get married."

I loved the Yoda arc from beginning to end. Sure, it was a little abstract and outside the normal realm of the Clone Wars, but I enjoy those deviations every now and then - kind of like the Mortis arc. The reasons I liked it were 1.) We see Master Yoda get some significant character development, and 2.) We finally get some answers on one of the gaping plot holes from Revenge of the Sith.

As for the Jar Jar episodes...I actually really enjoyed them. I was shocked to find myself laughing the whole way through. Jar Jar alone would have been miserable, but Jar Jar paired with Mace Windu is hilarious. It's like the most unholy buddy cop team ever concocted...and it's fantastic.

Measuring by a ratio of "what I expected" to "what I got," the Mace/Binks episodes were the best. Jar Jar is an idiot, sure, but he's a good-hearted idiot, and, like Eggman mentioned above, it smacked of the buddy-cop genre.

The stuff with Clovis (which I thought occupied maybe a few too many episodes) were a little unexpected, in that The Yoda stuff was wackadoo. It's pretty clear that the show is going a ways to (re-)introduce a heavy dose of mysticism to the Force, what with the Dathomir arc(s), the Mortis arc, and now this. It was all over the place, with a mystery-heavy first part and then for the last part.

The final episode was probably the best of that arc, even if they had difficulty pronouncing "Korriban."

The first arc was pretty good too, although it was hurt by knowing that its resolution was going to have zero impact on anyone's knowledge.

I found Yoda to be particularly cute and adorable in his episodes. He hasn't been like this since he was piggybacking on Luke!

Did anyone else find it weird and somewhat creepy when

The level of attention to detail went up as well. One instance was when I like how the latter episodes dealt with story elements that occurred over ten years ago in-universe, and at the same time were introduced in the Prequel Trilogy also over ten years ago. So when characters say things like "all those years ago" and "it's been a long time now since," i don't know about you guys, but I really felt that time passing.

Wow, I hadn't realized that ROTS was almost 10 years ago. I think it did enhance the gravitas of those revelations.
