Luke Skywalker 1,793 Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 thats fine, if he was a non force-sensitive beign.But I still want a true explanation (and not some kind of made up explanation/after-thought) on how he avoided detection by the Jedi Masters he usually walked with.They should have made him an untrained force-sensitive, and show the jedi saying him that how a great jedi diplomat he could have been if discovered as a child or something. Because since the jedi thought the sith were exticnt they would still not think the chancellor could be one. And because someone had HAD to notice since im sure he had many blood analysis in his life and nobody noticed his midi-chlorian count....I dont know. Just something.I cannot remember, but I think I remember hearing (or perhaps reading) the explanation in some Star Wars-related thing that Palpatine was so powerful that he could create a "void" for himself, so as to evade detection.That must be possibly from the EU... i may have readi ti too, but i dont remember.Anyway it is still what i described: some afterthought made after the movie...

Charlie Brigden 7 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Anyone else watching the second season? Damn good so far. Bane is squaring up to be a quality villain, and it's interesting to see a bad guy that doesn't really have a direct influence from anything previously seen in the movies etc (although he does have a bit of Boba Fett in him, kind of inevitable when he's a bounty hunter), and it's also good to see a bit more involvement from Sidious. But it's started out really strong, and surprisingly (I hate this word in this context) dark. It'll be interesting to see if they forgo the anthology approach they had for the first season and go for actual full arcs, especially with a villain at the centre of everything.

Wojo 2,453 Posted October 17, 2009 Share Posted October 17, 2009 You'll probably need The Miles Sound Tools and The RAD Video Tools. That's how many of the music files to the two KOTOR games were encrypted after installing to the PC, instead of just throwing loose MP3 files into a directory.

Wycket 36 Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 This is exactly what the prequels should have been. There's some really great adventure feel to these stories, and the feel really screams the OT to me more than anything in the PT. I still don't really like the music all that much, but the I'll take good stories and acting over good music and terrible acting anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,793 Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 sorry but these cartoon do not act better than the real actors.. as bad as they performances were... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wycket 36 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Well, Anakin is a lot closer to what I expected so I should probably say my previous statement was largely regarding the handling of him. Some of the characters work (Anakin, most of the "background" Jedi knights) and others don't (Obi-Wan, Mace, Yoda) but IMO its an overall better experience, as it feels more like an old time adventure than the prequels, which felt like heavy-handed melodramas at times.Looking forward to the Alien knockoff episode next week. They have a nice little ark going which probably would've made for a much better movie than what was released last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 4,090 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Weird to think that there are more hours of story told in Clone Wars than in the 6 films. Or that the actor who played Obi-Wan Kenobi the most is not Alec Guiness or Ewan McGregor, but rather James Arnold Taylor.I still haven't seen Season 2.

Popular Post mstrox 6,647 Posted July 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2018 Fresh from SDCC - The Clone Wars is coming back, exclusively on disney’s forthcoming streaming service. They showed a trailer, and I’m assuming it’ll be released online soon.

John 2,032 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Huh. There's always at least 20 or 30 comments of "#bringbackclonewars" or "#saveclonewars" on any single post on Star Wars social media accounts, so I guess the fans got what they wanted. I won't begrudge people their likes and dislikes, but it's definitely a show I couldn't sit through. Not Mr. Big 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,647 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 For me, it was a show that started out reaaaal clunky but got increasingly better and better as it went on. While it was always uneven, it ended on a series-best arc (Ahsoka on the run from the Jedi order). When it was cancelled, I felt it was a real loss. The drips and drabs we got after that (the remaining completed episodes on Netflix, some early animatronics on the Blu-ray) didn't really satisfy me, especially hearing some of the ideas Dave Filoni had for the future of the show. For me personally, The Clone Wars retconned the prequels to "worthy of existence." James and Tiburon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John 2,032 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I watched a handful of episodes with a friend and that was enough. Then I tried a little later to watch it from the beginning and maybe made it through the first two episodes. For me, it had two things working against it. First, it was based on events and characters from the prequels, which I have no attachment to, even an inherent dislike for. They aren't Star Wars for me. Second, it was definitely a show for kids, and often pretty juvenile in tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
