Not that I hated the movies (quite the opposite actually) but that scene in the movie where Anakin kills all the jedi kids that affects my liking of Anakin. Also knowing how things are going to go does take the excitement out of a Dooku or Grievous fight except when an unknown is fighting them. <br /><br />I quite like all the characters in the series. There's such a great range of characters here. All individual and magnificently designed. I like Ahsoka. She is much better than that Buffy clone wars movie version. It's like they read all the feedback from the clone wars movie and made all the right changes. I love how she fights and moves. It's a lot slicker and reptile like than Anakin's brute force style.<br /><br />If I have to pick what I like most it would have to be the war sections that feel like an old pulp war comic book. I like how the episodes are introduced to. "shits going on, lets go here and check it out" and you're straight in no dicking around with boring establishing and setup. <br /><br />I really like the clones to. It's great they've all got individual personalities and there's the whole question of their existence which have made for some interesting episodes. Also captain Rex is pretty badass<br /><br />If I had any flaws, it comes down to OVER using quotes from the original starwars movie. Like on paper that might sound like a good idea but it's painful. "I've got a bad feeling about this" that's been used more than the Skyrim "arrow in the knee" meme. There was a great moment in this season where a trooper sees a little guy riding a flying bug thing and he goes "Oh its going to be one of those planets" That was effin hilarious and I wish we had more of those moments where characters delivered real reactionary dialogue instead of starwars movie quotes (I have friends for that)<br /><br />I also feel sorry for the droids. A lot of the times they are just bros just hanging out and the jedi come in and murders them. It's funny with all the droids and clones how they've found away to have a high death count and keep a pg rating (decapitated shark guys head was amazing..he was a fucking scary character)<br /><br />The series feels like my favourite starwars book 'Tales of the bounty hunters' as they've really tried to be creative with the writing with its structure/concepts and that really matches the visuals that have so many great fun ideas going on.<br /><br />now I have to wait for new episodes...dang itmrmerkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00979216894917693956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500397037297156063.post-39161928107678693122012-01-28T23:44:28.542-08:002012-01-28T23:44:28.542-08:00Seeing as how you're someone who went from ski...Seeing as how you're someone who went from skipping the show, to ingesting it all over a few weeks, I'd love to know more of your detailed opinions about things.<br /><br />Probably the biggest success for me is the treatment of Anakin. He's one of my least favourite characters in the films, but probably my favourite on The Clone Wars. I think they've got a great fleshed out rogue's gallery too with Assaj, Cad Bane, Pre Visla, Hondo Onaka and Savage Oppress. And I dig Captain Rex's arc, and even Ahsoka has her moments. <br /><br />Some of my favourite episodes have been the weirder one offs. I think an all time favourite is the one with Sy Snootles on the hutt planet. That one is incredibly bizarre.<br /><br />Would love to know how it's progressed for you.Luke Miltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561782738433501505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500397037297156063.post-64855292775189904662012-01-28T23:14:00.671-08:002012-01-28T23:14:00.671-08:00he's like the jar jar of the jedi counsel.

From his crappy plans in the slave trilogy to this idiotic idea - plus getting the crap knocked out of him all the time - we perhaps begin to understand how he ended up as a sand hobo in A New Hope.Luke Miltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10561782738433501505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8500397037297156063.post-21562787422404698912012-01-28T22:49:04.170-08:002012-01-28T22:49:04.170-08:00I've finally caught up.

In the previous ep Cad and Moralo are in the drivers seat but this ep begins with obi flying the ship and crashing it into a planet.<br /><br />How did that happen? Was Obi just back seat driving and Cad got fed up and said "fine you drive ahole' then Obi goes ' I'm crashing the ship now LOLZ" <br /><br />Haha oh Obi Wanmrmerkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00979216894917693956noreply@blogger.com
