Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

I almost am looking forward to a Jar-Jar episode opposed to seeing the baddest character ever to exist - Cad Bane. I really dislike how badass they make him; he is better tan the entire Jedi Council.

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

So you dislike Cad Bane because he is such a bad ass? Never heard that one before.

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

I've just started in on season 1 and so far really like the show (surprised at how dark it gets... the popping of escape pods as they sat is space stranded was not expected). I could do with a little less "stupid droid" comments from the bad-guy army droids though. It's hard to take them as a serious threat when they have been only shown to be three-stooges-like jokes.

Congrats, GuessWho :thumbsup:

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

I don't hate him , but he has completely foiled the entire Jedi Council, even in the Jedi Temple with the bulk of the council 15 feet away, and did it with ease. He makes the Jedis look like they can not handle themselves no matter how many of them he has to face. I feel like the creators are compensating for making characters like Boba Fett appear so inept.

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

this latest episode typified everything that is wrong with the prequel universe. 1/2 hour of board meetings, diplomatic rhetoric, idiotic robot voices, and Jar Jar Binks.

Tough to really give a shit about either side in this conflict considering it's evil generic robots vs generic clones that we know ultimately become evil.

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

Not to mention a central plot that made no sense to begin with. When you have ships with Hyper drives, I dont understand the need for a nearby planet to use as a "staging platform" for aid. For that matter how was a lone ship able to run the blockade so easily at the end and come through completely unscathed after an entire battle garrison had just been destroyed by said blockade?

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

The Jedi are overconfident, which is what's leading to their downfall. That's how Bane was able to best them.

I know, I know, they really don't do an effective job illustrating this, but it is hinted at in the prequel trilogy.

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

I turned the latest episode off about 10 minutes in. Boring. Usually I'm a completist when I'm committed to a tv series, but for this clone wars show, I didn't mind skipping it. I did that to that one cloverfield episode from last season. That wasn't even SW! But overall, I still enjoy the show. Just some episodes are a chore to get through.

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

I could not agree more on this episode. Barely watchable as the worst parts of the prequel timeline were the focus of the plot. Why Lucas ever thought things like a trade war was a compelling basis for an intergalactic struggle is beyond comprehension.

Having watched since the first episode, I am close to dropping the show. The writing is mostly going in circles and hitting the same notes again and again.

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

Yet another episode with a trade blockade as a plot device. And more flaccid scenes of people making insipid speeches in front of the senate.

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

Wow, this show has gotten dull fast. :lol:

Next week doesn't look any better.

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

Next week looks better than this one past one or the Jar Jar one, but please stop with all the meetings and diplomatic rubbish. Yes adults make up a good portion of the audiance, but there are probably more kids watching and NONE of them give a shit about any of this crap. I am sure this weeks and the next one will all lead to show the Mandorians more since they have been discussed since 1980 and there has been no cannon about them since. And I see that there are some Mandolorian toys coming out next year.

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

I cant figure out what happened to this show. Did some writers leave? Or did Lucas stick his paws back in the creative process? I know in season one the show only really started to get good once they were no longer bound by the scripts that Lucas had a hand in writing.

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

I can't tell you how many times as a child of the early 80's that I would sit my Star Wars figures around a large makeshift conference table made out of legos and have them discuss trade routes and planetary blockades while debating the merits of joining the Separatists. Ahh, memories...

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

better, but still an overall meh episode.

[sarcasm]gee, us as the audience couldn't POSSIBLY be interested in seeing the adventures of Skywalker and Kit Fisto?[/sarcasm] nahhhhhhh, we'd rather watch the Mandalorian Scooby Gang take down government corruption.

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

:lol:

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

Yeah I don't know why they are wasting time on these silly story lines when they can have Yoda go on another mission. How many people care about illegal food shipments by senators.

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

Surprisingly, an episode starting with Padme and Threepio throwing a tea-party ended up being rather decent... Cad Bane is a pretty cool character... not quite as awesome as Boba Fett (before Lucas murdered his backstory), but decent nonetheless. I liked the intercut footage of Threepio being tortured and Artoo being pampered... the Hutt council stuff worked for me as well...

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

Unfortunately this show has become background watching for me

Re: Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 3
 

glad to know this hasn't gotten any better. i bailed at some point during season 2. was just boring to watch, honestly.

Star Wars Clone Wars - Nov. 12
 

Don't know who's been watching, but this past episode introduced Sy Snoodles from "Return of the Jedi", complete with a musical number, plus we lost a character that was the bad guy in the original Star Wars Clone Wars movie that introduced this series. Not a bad ep, my wife actually watched it with me. A lot of plot for a 22 minute show.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars - Nov. 12
 

This sounds like the name of a Teddy Bear.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars - Nov. 12
 

It was a real good episode. I never used my 30-second skip a single time!

I also didn't miss Anakin or Ahsoka at all. :)
