Star Wars: Clone Wars

[LoathedVermin72]

Oh man, I waited too long to open this thread

[dimejinky99]

Almost finished this. Really enjoyed it apart from the occasional brain fart.

well told and you forget it's animation quite quickly (sure arent most of the prequels animation anyways?)

It has lots of problems mainly the blindness of the Jedi. It clashes wildly with how they're set up. (Asokas banishment, oh god about a hundred other things).

But this is canon now. It's dark and dark enough to make me wonder how it was let on tv enough togive me hope. Jar jar turning up too frequently in th early episodes? Horrible. But watching a more detailed fall for Anakin was cool.


It looks and feels like Star Wars more successfully than the prequels managed.

Great dark intriguing political suspense and loads of Star Wars fun.

BUMP for dime

I'd totally forgotten about this thread

If I really love Rogue One I maybe motivated enough to power through this. I think I made it about 4-5 episodes in .

I'd recommend doing a google on what are the important storylines in the series and maybe the best episodes each season. There's an awful lot in this series that Lucas really used to fill out the whole tellin of Palpatine taking over. It's really rather complex. But there's a fair bit of side story episodes that don't add all that much.

Certainly isn't as cartoony / for the kids as Rebels can be quite often.

Yeah, it really is. In a lot of cases it's more so.

See I think clone wars is way more cartoony than rebels

No way Chris. I just watched a couple of episodes randomly and it was all banking clan/subterfuge/politics/cloning/embryos.

Clone wars definitely wasn't aimed at kids despite its format. The language would go over even a teens head a lot of it.

I'm talking about the animation style, not the dialogue

Sure there are moments in Clone Wars that are far darker and deal with a lot of politics, etc that dime (and earlier, McP) have mentioned. But there is still plenty of cartoonyness to it at times too. And perhaps more importantly, a lot of it feels entirely secondary to forwarding the overall story. Hey Look, Ashoka has been captured for 3 episodes by an Army of Bossks! The Bad Guys attacking the Mon Calimari are Shark People!

Rebels is more kid friendly for sure, but in reality it fits more of the tone of the star wars universe to me than most of what Clone Wars does.

Based on a limited sample size of both shows, I would 100% agree with this.

[dimejinky99]

Well that's totally true but only in that clone wars from the bones outwards is supplementary and contributing to expand and pad out the prequels.

I haven't gotten through them all yet, but the ones from that list I have watched I enjoyed.

"Ghosts of Mortis" (Season 3) was a good one.

Yah the Nightsisters one was cool. Was also cool to see them again on Rebels this season

[dimejinky99]

Everything about the night sisters episodes made me go wtf. Is this really happening on a kids tv show? It's really heavy stuff.

Same thoughts about the clone episodes where you actually see and they talk about embryos and genetic modification. Sooooo weird they were allowed to go here with that.

Awesome list. Thank you.

[dimejinky99]

Man this show is so good. Watching that episode the lost ones.

It's as good as you'd want any Star Wars to be

Tell me, somebody, that platypus was fucking joking in the Rogue one thread?

[dimejinky99]

He's just pissed cos he can't spoil any of the shit indie films he goes to see cos nobody sees them or cares.
