Star Wars: The Clone Wars

[Ivan2006]

Seriously?
I hope that´s not a too bad sign...
Anyone else for mauve alert?

I dunno, Star Wars is probably the most well known sci-fi franchise ever, if Disney screw up ep7 a lot of people are going to notice, and a lot of people will lose all respect for Disney, and if they think they will be able to cope with that they are incredibly stupid and obnoxious.

Disney doesn't want the fanboy audience, they want the family audience. Expect Jar Jar and broken canon.

Honestly, Disney would be hard pressed to ruin the franchise any more than it is already being ruined. At this point Yoda would have to come back to life and engage in a break dancing routine just to get on the same level.

Besides, Star Wars has always been the quintessential family movie franchise. And I think they learned from Pirates of the Caribbean that they don't have to jump the shark in order to make a movie interesting in order to appease children.

You know, come to think of it, it's actually pretty cool they did what they did, because even the fanboys would be expecting otherwise. She's part of the EU anyway, and she's never been seen in a film or book save for a line or two of text saying she's there.

Star Wars works best when you can tell that the writer is really exited about it and has the general philosophy of 'MORE SITH LORDS, M@#$%^@#$%&RS!' Lucasfilm was pretty good at getting there. Look at the New Jedi Order series, which was incredibly dark and in which they killed off loads of major characters, and it was awesome because of it. Disney won't do stuff like that because that would make the little kids cry. When Lucas was writing Episode II, he titled early copies of the script 'Star Wars Episode II: Jar Jar's Big Adventure' just for the hell of it. With Disney, it's entirely possible that that could actually become a reality, and no-one (like, no-one, not even the crazies) wants that.

And Tiel, for what it's worth she's an actual movie character. She appears in Episode II (and III briefly, I think, but I'd have to check) and she is the main character of the MedStar duology, one of my favorite series after Republic Commando. She's the character on the cover of both of the books. She has not one but two LEGO minifigures.

NJO?

That's the Darth Caedus arc, right?

Going against the established cannon to make new contradictory cannon? Nobody will ever see it coming.

WAT A TWEEEST

Sometimes it's nice to be on the edge of your seat rather than see it coming a mile away.

"Hmm, let's see, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and some random redshirt. I wonder who the saboteur is.."

And she doesn't even appear in 3, so any 66 there would fall under EU. Heck, we don't even see Luminara there, either

The only reference to her being on Felucia is in those weird comics with the masochistic Jamaican Jedi (Quinlan Vos, I think), I don't think anyone will mind, really.

Yuuzhan Vong War. You could substitute Caedus and my statement would work just as well, though. That one's dark too.

You're right. Her death scene was scripted for the Order 66 bit in III, and mostly animated, but was cut out. It appears in the deleted scenes section of the Blu-Ray version. It is still canon, though. She's in the comic adaptation of III, and her death is specifically mentioned in a few other places. As far as I know, she had nothing to do with Quinlan Vos. His Padawan was Aayla Secura. He died on Kashyyyk, not Felucia. And yeah, it's EU. It has to be. If it wasn't it would override TCW.

Who knows. They said they are making "something nobody had ever heard of before" or something. Maybe that just means they are doing a unestablished timeline.

Who am I kidding. It's going to be Luke except worse.

I'd rather watch something in the Star Wars cannon, not some BS with a ton of plot holes.

[Pat22]

Sometimes I think I like The Clone Wars, but then I watch it and remember the writing is terrible and the stories are predictable.

It was obvious from the first episode of this particular story that Bariss was the traitor and the fact that in the "how to catch a jedi" episode Ahsoka was dumb enough to confuse Ventress with Bariss wearing Ventress' mask is simply laughable. I mean, sure, Bariss had the mask and the red light sabers but somehow Ahsoka failed to notice that Ventress somehow had become a whole two feet shorter.

So basically when watching the Clone Wars, you gotta be watching it for the pew pews and lightsabers and forget all about the story. Which means that the political BS episodes suck indeed because it's all story and no pew pew.

the pew pews and lightsabers

I wasn't aware Star Wars was anything more than that.
