Havn't peeped the clone wars series yet. Been meaning to though, as I've heard good things. I have the movie on bluray, but I haven't watched that either.

It's a Trap kind of sucked.
Blue Harvest was the only one I really liked. |

Haven't seen any of the new Clone Wars series either. After you check it out, let me know if I should. Haven't seen the movie either.

The movie is basically a three episode pilot so don't expect much. As far as 'cartoon' goes, though, Clones Wars is really good.

This is stupid in the third movie Ben was surprised when Yoda said he was talking to Qui Gon Gin.
So, why was he surprised if he talked to him in this cave? Fucking George Lucas can't write himself out of a wet paper bag anymore. |

Just seemed too superfluous to me. I watched and enjoyed the non-CG animated one, but that was like a prequel to Episode III. With Episode III out, it is like everything in this new series is totally redundant. Unless they pulled a Terminator: SCC and it is in a different universe.

Lucas doesn't write Clone Wars episodes last I seen. His daughter did some, though.
She seems like a better writer, too. |

I've seen the first season of the new series, and it's pretty good as long as you don't try to put it into context with the movies. There are so many glaring plot holes that I gave up being upset by them early on and just enjoyed the ride. And it's honestly a pretty good show. |

Yeah. I thought the premise was pompous but the execution reeled me in. On more than one occasion you will see episodes you will wish should have been entire movie plots. Some people even say this series has the right to alter canon - which is something considering the fanbase.
I love the attention the Clone Troopers get. |

I couldn't bare to watch the Clone Wars movie if only on the grounds that the music was absolutely awful.
BTW did anyone preorder the complete saga on Bly Ray yet? Not sure if you still can but the offer was pre-order now and get all 6 movies on blu ray for 99.99 instead of like 200 or whatever the cost is, not out till Sept 27th though lol |

I suffered through years of your "Rejuvenation" themes. I'm pretty sure your right to criticise music is right up there with Saddam Hussein's right to moral high ground.
That aside, it does kinda reek of autism. I'm an obsessive music geek and I could put up with it. |

Good retcon. Unlikely, but nice retcon. You probably queued up a week in advance, like all the other SW fans who were "barely interested."

It took me a while to warm up to Clone Wars, mainly because there's a ton of stuff that really butt-fucks the canon (so Anakin had his own Padawan for years, who disappeared for one reason or another by Episode III, and nobody brings it up around him, not even in passing?) But honestly, the continuity of the original Trilogy has been so utterly thrown out the window with all of the expanded universe novels, comics, games, etc.--not to mention a lot of the contradictions and plot-holes in the prequels-- that I don't really think that's a valid excuse anymore. So I finally gave in and gave it a shot, and I'm actually quite enjoying it.
Sure, there are a lot of painfully cheesy episodes, and pulling shit like "Ooooh, it's Darth Maul's brother!" are blatant stunts to sell more toys (though that's no real surprise considering that Star Wars has never been squeamish about merchandising), but overall I've had more fun watching it than I did watching Episodes I through III.

Actually I worked at a movie theatre and saw enough of it to be utterly turned off by the musical score so I never bothered seeing the whole thing.

I can totally see where Lara is coming from. John Williams score is incredibly important to Star Wars, for me. Not just for me either.
I can't stand to hear Star Wars score coming from anywhere else, and it is quite noticeable when it isn't. The bootleg themes from the cartoons and video games often bother me. |

I didn't watch but what is this Qui Gon nonsense? A dream?
That's all well and fine, I guess, although he should really not be contacting Obi Wan and/or Yoda until after Episode 3. I'm a bit disappointed that they wrote and planned a scene between his spirit and Yoda for the final scenes of Episode 3, and due to scheduling problems, it reportedly never got filmed by Liam Neeson. That's disappointing, since not only would it have been nice to see Neeson back, but it would have given some real service to that plot-line. I'm not a big proponent of just adding in scenes, but they've already displayed that they will do it, and for much lesser reasons. I say, it was written, and intended to be there... film the motherfucker (if they haven't already) and put it back in there before too much time passes. If it's on the blu ray set it's just like a deleted scene anyways. I really wish there was a Build-A-Saga blu ray set, where you could decide what changes you wanted. For example: I'd can Greedo's stupid laser shot, and put back in Boba's original voice, but I'd leave in the Ian McIarmid Emperor change and effects touchups. And so forth. I'm mostly kidding, but it's gotten to the point where everyone's got an opinion and I'm much more reasonable than being steadfast either way in that all changes are good/evil. |

Dare you to hate on that one. Anyway I saw part 2 of some Clone Wars' special trilogy and there's this amazing villain in it. He has red eyes and a delivery that just creeps me out. And his sister has a slutty outfit for a kids show. Speaking of slutty outfits Asoka gets a wardrobe change as she dips in the darkside for a bit. For a second, she became my favorite character. Her lullaby-ish, almost flirtatious exchanges were pretty good. Loved the episode. |

I haven't watched but I have heard about Cad Bane and he seems pretty awesome. The coolest part about him is that he's directly based off Lee Van Cleef's character in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Angel Eyes

I still think "Shadow of the Empire" should have been made into a movie. They could still do this as a cartoon or something and it would be nice to see all the old characters back, even if only in CG form. Plus, Dash Rendar is the shit.

I liked his ship. Game was okay too, I was still tripping over 64 BIT GRAFICS! at the time.
Seems odd that he just sort of faded, in a franchise where everybody gets varying degrees of exposure. |
