Clone Wars TV show

[Gunzlingr]

I have to say I enjoyed the first 2 episodes like I haven't enjoyed SW since the Return of the Jedi. I love the Clone aspect of it, and thought the characters had nice depth to them. I just wish we could leave Snips and Skyguy out of all the episodes. Haters of the movie (like me) should like this much more.

Anybody else watch? What are your thoughts?

[silverc]

I agree with 95% of your statement. I did like the Clone Wars movie to me it felt more like Star Wars than Ep 1-3 did.

[mister-x]

when i saw the movie, i said, would have been cooler live action...but im really comming around to it, and my boys love it, so we will watch it

[Gunzlingr]

I do think that they way they portray the Jedi interactions with the clones makes Order 66 that much sadder. They respect the clones more than the clones respect themselves. Watching Yoda unload on a droid army was great too.

yes, yes, yes! i enjoyed them very much.
still not a fan of all the battle droid banter, but other than that it was great.
i love the fact that theyre not shying away from human, well, clone death. not just robot destruction.

Cartoon network, also available on itunes on day after airing.


I enjoyed the episodes as well as the movie. I like the "wisdom" or whatever you want to call it at the opening. I really like what they are doing with the series. posted this somewhere else but anything with a clone wielding a gatlin gun like Dutch in Predator is an automatic win for me.

[slim19722]

I really liked the movie and the series so far is just as entertaining. At first I didn't like the animation style, but it has grown on me. Also has me rethinking my stance on not buying the animated figures.

They are imitating the old newsreels they used to show before movies back in the days before tvs.

[Paul]

I really didn't like the first episode, but the second one was great. I wish they'd tone down the battle droids a bit though.

[Lantern_Lad]

I wish they'd tone down the battle droids a bit though.

I'd have to disagree with you there... of all the humor they're trying to inject into the show, the Battle Droids are the only ones making it work.

I also like the military aspects of it. But I do agree with... uh... didn't quote it, so I don't remember who said it... that they could do away with 'Snips' and 'Sky-Guy' and I'd be happy. Of course, we all know what happens to 'Sky-Guy' and since she was nowhere to be seen in ROTS, 'Snips' will be getting the pointy end of a lightsaber soon enough.

I do think it's funny though, that with as much ire as Jar Jar has received over the years, they are actually putting him an episode. Just goes to show that Lucasfilm will do whatever Lucasfilm wants regardless of fan reaction.

[sharke]

oh yeah I knew that, love it too...though most don't but it really gives a WW 2 vibe. I was referring to the lines they have before like 'Belief is not a matter of choice, but of conviction'.


*love that you referred to it as the days before tv lol

a lot of kids do like jar jar....I blame the school systems.....

anyways, I respect that Lucas and Lucasfilm will tell the story they want to tell

[82joe]

I have to admit I really liked them too. The wife and I watched it last Friday and I think I had a smile on my face the whole time.

[trooper2901]

My little ones and I didnt have a chance to see the movie, but we havent missed the show yet! plus the house is full of clone wars stuff now to ,lol./ I also enjoy the clone point of view in the whole story.

[sharke]

yeah my wife walked in our living room to find me watching clone wars surrounded by my clone wars figs I just got @ walmart....



this is whats the nerdiest thing you've done thread right?!

[mech-grunt]

I loved every minute of it. The thing I liked the most was all the small details that made the transition from live action to animation and how they kept to established technology.

[Mr. Strick9]

The scene in the first episode with Yoda and the clones around a "campfire," was some of the best Star Wars stuff I've seen. This show, like the prequels is gonna have some really good moments. Let's just hope the good ones outweigh the bad ones in the end.

[generalhawk]

i was surprised how much i enjoyed the cartoon series more than the cartoon movie. i also like the fact there seems to be more jedi that we get to see such as plo koon he was one of my favorites in the prequels and i didnt like the prequels all that much.

[That Blasted Samophlange]

I have to say that, so far I really like this show. It's on my list of must watch tv, and for me that says a lot. There's only 5 shows, including Clone Wars that are on there.

The first episode with Yoda, was great, yoda hasn't felt like Empire Strikes back Yoda in a long time.

[Paul]

I'd have to disagree with you there... of all the humor they're trying to inject into the show, the Battle Droids are the only ones making it work.

Really?

Really?

I didn't mind the battle droids yucking it up in the movie that much, but it seemed to be constant that it was starting to get on my nerves. It's hard to believe that the Republic would have a hard time fighting these morons. Don't get me wrong, I do like some of the battle droid jokes, just not all of them all the time.

I'll also admit that the droids that were killing the dudes in space was actually really creepy simply because they were having such a good time. How freaking heartless was that one scene where that guy got sucked out of the life pod?

Great stuff.

As I said earlier, it hasn't been since Empire Strikes Back that Yoda has felt so much like Yoda.

As of right now, only seeing two episodes, this show is exemplifying what Star Wars is meant to be. I haven't been this excited about anything Star Wars in a long time.

[MTN]

I put all my plans aside just to catch these two episodes. I thought they were great and well worth my time. I really liked seeing Plo Koon actually on screen. I can't wait to see the next episode.

[Tracker]

the show's on right now for folks that missed it

[Barefoot Jedi]

Tonight's episode was good again. I'm liking this more and more. I'm also liking how they're focusing on the story from a military operations perspective. I wish the writers would stop recycling lines from the films, though, this one just about rehashed every famous quote there was. I half-expected Grievous to tell one of the Battle Droids "I am your father."

[Wyld2304]

So fare so good. The wife and I was going to take our daughter and nephew to go see the movie but we didn't have a chance to. We've caught the show on CN and we've really enjoyed it. One of the few tv shows that my 4yr old will actually set quietly and watch..lmao

[General Hawk59]

I downloaded the episodes on itunes for my iphone and i luv them so far.. I cant wait for the live action starwars tv show to come out... that will be awesome..

[sharke]

really looking forward to the conclusion of this story arc. I agree that they need to trim the OT quotes down a bit. I like them but last night was just loaded with to many of them. so far though thats my only complaint....well maybe more Rex....dudes badass.

[zartan1]

I didn't catch the movie cause there was still a bad taste in my mouth from the prequels. I caught the first two episodes of this on youtube and must admit its good. Watched the 3rd on Friday and wasn't disappointed.
I'm guessing what's so appealing to me is that we get to see these characters in action without the terrible acting of the movies or weird animation of the Clone Wars mini-episodes from a few years back. The animation looks great and I think they should do something with the OT characters this way. Maybe Thrawn and Mara Jade.

[shdwknt]

I seen the movie and the series so far.. I love it!

[Gunzlingr]

I have added this to my must see list. Fantastic show.

[stride23]

I seen the two episodes you are talking about. It wasn't as bad as I expected but I didn't really like Ashoka too much and I'm super tired of the three stooges personality for all the battle droids jeeeez. THe best part ot me was the actual look of it all. The animation is sweet.

[Lo-Wan Bing]

Tonights episode (Rookies) was (I think) the best yet
*** spoilers if you haven't caught it yet *****


Clone eaten by random space worm was awesome
Heavy sacrificing himself to take down the station
new battle droid model
No Jedi to save the day
Captain Rex and Cmmndr Cody
Clone trooper mini-gun
The destruction of the shuttle on the landing pad...
the 'wearing clone armor' trick being used against both side.
"Sarge" getting executed by 3 droids....
not sure I heard it right, but did fives say "what the hell was that?" when the worm ate the clone???

I thought this episode was great. anybody else catch it?

Yep man, I caught it earlier and then again the 2nd time around as well. I think this is also the best episode so far. Also, I'm not sure myself but I thin your right, I think he said:"What the hell was that?" AS WELL.

[Gunzlingr]

An episode or so back they said hell (or was it damn) too, I had to ask my son to make sure, and he confirmed that was indeed what the clone had said.

[slim19722]

I agree, tonight's episode is the best so far, not mention those new "Commando Droids", they were pretty cool. One of them even had a old fashioned metal sword.

[vermillion21]

Missed tonight's episode - do they rerun the show at all?

[Lo-Wan Bing]

should have been on the list too :)
This whole episode was great!

[mech-grunt]

Sundays that’s when I catch it and I think Wednesdays.

[CTGLinks]

I love the TV Series, the movie was as good as any of the prequels, definitely better than EP1, as good as EP3, and almost as good as EP2 (the best of the three live action prequels).

The movie had too much filler, which is what I believe made the prequels boring at times.
The TV Series is to the point, plenty of action to keep us interested, and when something is said it is usually necessary.

I will say, the jokes are funny at times, but are a little overdone.
I strongly dislike Asohka's slang. R2ie and SkyGuy? I also think that if she were Obi-wans padawan he would have belted her by now. So it does not make sense that someone so angry (Anakin) could be patient with her.

I can live with those faults though because ultimately the show rocks!!!!

[Lo-Wan Bing]

they replay them a lot. It will also be on Cartoonnetwork .com (they have episode 4 up now, so probably next week???)

[CTGLinks]

Hey, anyone that uses P2P bit torrent clients can download all episodes currently in HD quality for free.
I can't watch them on Friday nights or re-run nights, so I DL them and watch them later. Then I delete them of Course :~|

[Tomahawk]

they actually said hell twice tonight.....and the show it was awesome tonight

[Tanksmasher]

If you miss any episodes you can also watch them on the star wars home site. They have all the recent episodes downloaded there.

[flint 11]

the new episode last night said
'what the hell'!

i thought it was a kids show

[flint 11]

lats nights was the best it was awsome!!!!!!

[NAVY S.E.A.L]

i wish they would write a story were delta or any other republic commandos are showcased. still an awesome show

[sharke]

thought this weekends episode was great! really liked the droid commandos.

[sharke]

the new episode last night said
'what the hell'!

i thought it was a kids show

well, Han said "i'll see you in hell" in Empire and thats a "kids" movie.

[ironknife]

its not bad. i like it!!!

Yes, I can't agree more.
The Battle droid "humor" seems forced a lot of the time.
Asohka's character seems unnecessary so far.

So far, the last three episodes have been getting better and better. In fact, this last episode was great.

[zartan1]

Saw the replay last night, best episode yet. The battle droid jokes are being overused.

[jdizz76]

I think the first 3 episodes have been great; I'm actually excited about Star Wars again.

Has anyone played the Force Unleashed; this story would've been excellent on the big screen...or somehow worked into later episodes of the clone wars...

[FirstOne]

The battle droid jokes are being overused.
^For Sure!

I really liked all of the episodes so far, but the major complaint I have is, that the episodes are to short. There 30 mins with commercials, which is way to short for Star Wars. I think the episodes should have been an hour long with commercials...

[HissCommander]

man, anything thats not the OG trilogy is all garbage. If they were gonna make an "inbatweener" movie i really wish they would have done shadows of the empire.

[darthdoug]

Roger, Roger...

Pretty good plots so far. The animation is sometimes good and sometimes wierd. I did not like it on the big screen. The whole search for Jabba's baby was far fetched too. It would have been a better plot for the TV show.

[Shin Densetsu]

I saw the later half of an episode where a clone trooper sacrificed himself, and at the end, Rex added new troops to his 501st. I was like "holy shit, did that one guy who set of the detonators fucking die?". Then one of them says "well, he never liked that place anyways". Interesting episode.

The parts I like best are the parts with the clones. I don't care for Asohka's predictable, cliche attitude and interactions with Anakin. I looked forward to this series in hopes that Anakin be fleshed out more into the bad ass hellbent, raging jedi that he wasn't in ROTS. Anyways I saw the Clone Wars movie, wasn't too impressed, I thought it was alright. The clone parts were excellent, took on a more serious tone every time those guys showed up. Has the series for the most part, stayed the same, as in Anakin's parts usually suck, and the clone parts rule?

[Gunzlingr]

In regards to the droid "humor" and Ahsoka, you have to remember that kids eat that shit up. I am just thankful that it is droid humor, and not Jar-Jar humor.

I didn't care for the movie, but love the tv show - especially the Clone centric eps. Ahsoka is still annoying, but I do like the Anakin character better.

[darthdoug]

I think the next episode Anakin loses R2. He has to go find him.

[sharke]

yeah, it is. was interesting to hear kenobi act so indifferent towards R2.

Earlier in the episode they were outside the station and one of the clone got eaten by a big "DUNE-like" sand eel.

[zartan1]

I wander if Anakin nails her on those long, boring, deep space flights. I bet Lucas has all kinds of sick SW porn made so he can get off on it.

[sharke]

actually, dave filoni does.....and they all involve plo koon.....

[darthdoug]

Like a 3-some with Jar Jar, Ric Ollie & Wicket!

Not to mention the Deck Officer and Sergeant.

Come on now, Wicket has too much class for Jar Jar. He only goes for quality tail like Jabba.

[darthdoug]

A little MMF action between Han, Leah & Lando? ewwwwh..

[sharke]

fingercuffs?

[Shin Densetsu]

Hey is Oddball still scared and nervous in battle like in the movie?

[solid_strider]

I liked the first four episodes more than the movie. That last episode was especially good, I want to see more clone-focused episodes. There's alot more to SW than Anakin and Obi-Wan.

[Lo-Wan Bing]

There's alot more to SW than Anakin and Obi-Wan.

totally agree. there has to be a non-super human element to relate to (like the clones, or what Han was to the OT) But it was still awesome when Obi-Wan took out the droids by using the destroyer droids like bowling balls and staying behind their shileds as they struggled to turn around to shoot him... and of course, letting threepio get smacked by the train because he couldn't move him fast enough. :)

[Gunzlingr]

Finally saw "Rookies" and have to agree that it was an awesome episode.

[Tanksmasher]

Rookies was the best episode so far. So how many episodes are they planning on releasing this season? I thought I heard that they've already made 30 or someting.

[sharke]

I think they've produced up through the 1st 3rd of next season.

[Gunzlingr]

The adverts all say 6 months of new episodes. I was kind of pissed that the next new one isn't until 11/7, then I realized that that is only next week, and that tonite is Halloween so no self respecting kid will be watching television tonite.

[sparks007]

Han was just a kid durring the Clone Wars.He was orphaned as a child and taken in by a man named Garish Shrike that would force him to do petty crimes for money.Later he escaped Shrike and became a smuggler then he joined the Imperial academy and became a Tie pilot then a Storm Trooper only to end up on Kashykk as a guard for the wookie slaves when his commanding officer was about to blast a Wookie that was not obeying his orders Han blasted his commander and burned his draft card.That is when he met Chewie.There is a trilogy of books about his life leading right up to A New Hope it explains everything,and he did win the Falcon fare and square no matter what Lando told you.Oh yeah Clone Wars is great too.

[Gunzlingr]

Who's excited for tonite's JarJar episode? Whatsa coulda besa mo funny thansa JarJar mistakensa fe a jedisan?

[CTGLinks]

uh.......no on the Jar Jar speak

The cartoon episodes have been outstanding so far though!

[Gunzlingr]

Since the show has been awesome thus far, I am giving the episode the benefit of the doubt. Who knows, maybe Grievous will kill him and will be right in the universe once more.

[darth_henning]

Unfortunately Jar Jar has a cameo appearance in ROTS on the landing pad after Anakin and Obi-wan save Palpatine, so we know he has to live out the TV series.
