Star Wars discussion

[The Shadow of Korriban]

The latest Clone Wars episode was exquisite!   It had to be one of the best things crafted by Dave Filoni's hands.

However much we dislike it, the Disney rubbish is the real canon.

That being said, Clone Wars season 7 is based on the unfinished arcs of the series that they were already planning, and written and created by the original showrunners. So it is accurate to their original vision for the show.

Speaking of, the latest episode (Episode 10) was even better than the last one. Sam Witwer's stunning performance as Maul was definitely the highlight – it's amazing how much he's helped to bring the character to life over the years. Certainly one of the best performances in the show, if not Star Wars altogether.

I definitely feel that the Clone Wars series really fleshes out the Star Wars universe and adds a lot of complexity which (due to the constraints of the medium) simply isn't present. Multifacted political situations, a closer look at the function of the Jedi in the Republic, a humane representation of clone troopers (who, usually, are the best characters), and of course the brilliant character of Ahsoka Tano.

I just finished watching episode 11, and it's undoubtedly one of the best episodes ever made for The Clone Wars. The acting, the visuals, and the story are all impeccably done, all bolstered by Kevin Kiner's incredible score. Dee Bradley Baker and Ashley Eckstein both gave riveting and compelling performances as well. I hope that Disney recognizes the impact these episodes have had on the fans and they continue to produce more, because this is some of the highest quality Star Wars content produced outside of the films and it's something I want to see more of. I would rather a single new season of Clone Wars than an entire Rebels or Resistance series.

"Outside the films."

Nah, the films pale in comparison to some of the best episodes.

[The Shadow of Korriban]

Deary me!  The latest episode was so glorious in all aspects.  I am truly stunned at the splendor of Dave Filoni's prowess.

[One-Eye the wildcat]

I grew up watching the clone wars. It's my favorite show of all time.

There was this scene that I remember really well. This was in season 4 or 5, in the Krell arc. I don't remember all the details, but that one line that Fives said is still in my head somewhere. "We are not a bunch of unthinking droids!" Eh, it's not the best line in the season, but it's pretty good.

[The Shadow of Korriban]

Deary Me!  This latest 22 minute block buster was exquisite in every known quality.  Dave may work for Disney, but his grey matter exceeds 96 cubits in volume.  He clearly had a wide intellectual boost over his teen years.

Just watched the last episode of Clone Wars. Man. . . was that good. The action scenes, how they showcased Maul's power in the force, the sadness with knowing it could end no other way, the music. . . Probably my favorite episode ever. Absolutely loved it.

[Jukka the Sling]

Right?  It was so so so good.  I can't believe it's all over.  Ugh, it was such a good episode.  The animation, the music, everything.  When the credits rolled, Sheev and I just sat there and didn't move, staring at the screen for a good minute or so, not wanting to break the spell.  I'm still not over it.  I need more.

Maybe it's time to embark on a rewatch of Rebels in an effort to fill the void in my heart...

[Tungro]

Rebels was meh. I only watched it for Maul and Ashoka (that was good)

[The Skarzs]

Right?  It was so so so good.  I can't believe it's all over.  Ugh, it was such a good episode.  The animation, the music, everything.  When the credits rolled, Sheev and I just sat there and didn't move, staring at the screen for a good minute or so, not wanting to break the spell.  I'm still not over it.  I need more.

I suppose that's another part of what makes it so good: It's the end of a story. It feels complete, even if it's sad.

[Sebias of Redwall]

I should probably watch this one day, so I know what everyone is talking about. I've watched a few episodes, but not the entire tv series yet.
