Full Series TCW Pessimism Thread

Some of Maul's accomplishments:

• Wiping out the Orsis Academy
• Wiping out Black Sun
• Surviving bisection
• Killer of at least eight Jedi (Qui-Gon Jinn, Anoon Bondara, Arsha Dassant, Siolo'urmanka, Finn Ertay, Grohto, Bruu Jun-Fan & Ko Solok)
• Skilled user of Juyo, Jar'Kai, Teras Kasi and Niman
• Responsible for the collapse of Lommite Limited and InterGalactic Ore
• Taking over Mandalore

You cannot compare Ahsoka to Maul. People suggesting that she could kill him is laughable.

 

I agree that Ahsoka should definitely not kill Darth Maul, but in terms of thinking it's absurd, don't forget that Luke Skywalker starts out in Ep. IV as a teenager with zero experience in war or the Force.

I keep considering making a the-sky-is-falling thread based on my supposition that this could be the first season of TCW to not be better than the last, but I guess having this thread takes care of that.

Regarding the S1 nostalgia, each season has some great episodes and some crap episodes, S1 is no exception. I'll take Revival over The Gungan General any day of the week.

 

Luke kind of gets owned by Vader on Bespin and Splinter of the Minds Eye had Ben helping him

Not to mention he was on par with Anakin potential wise

 

Also Salmara and Judd, two Masters.

 

I'll grant you that, but the only message shouldn't be step aside old folks, ONLY the younger folks can do great and powerful things. Perhaps not so much lately (or so blatantly) but in the early seasons this was the impression the show gave: these old Jedi needed young new blood because they were stagnant and incapable of handling things without the youngster's input.

I was young once and I'm much older now - there's value in new ideas AND old ideas, fresh blood AND experienced blood. It should be a mutual "learning" experience to a certain extent, but not the new at the expense of the old(er).

 

Yeah, guys I think the Prophecy of the Chosen One was misread: Ahsoka is clearly the one to bring Balance to the Force.

 

^ You know, if there were even hints that the current crop of padawans far and away outshone even "the more experienced Jedi" (ha, anyone get the reference?) it'd be more believable, if not exactly acceptable.

I'm expecting Ahsoka to be granted a seat on the Council shortly, since she's so wise and powerful. Maybe she can get Obi-Wan's seat if he is demoted for failing to kill Maul years before and getting his knighthood based on a lie.

/ Okay, okay, I joke, I joke. Don't kill me.

Who else would replace Adi Gallia on the Council if not Ahsoka?

Knowing Filoni's obsession with Plo, Sha Koon.

 

Too late.

 

Maul sounds like a good choice to do away with her IMO.

 

There was also that whole Death Star thing...

 

The sooner Maul is killed the better the Star Wars universe will be. I'd rather see her leave the Jedi Order than to be a necessary plot device for Anakin.

While TCW takes place during the fall of the Jedi and rise of the Sith, its still a bit lame that an insane Sith lakey and his brother endowed with a magical force connection can tear through every Jedi come across. I get the point of the Jedi not being superhero's, but come on already!

I'll take my initial comments a step further. I think Master Luminara can get the job done. Her duel with Assaj made me wonder how much she was on par with Dooku. The Count's lightsaber technique is much more finesse than power-which is parallel to Master Luminara's characteristics and we see him handle Randy like an after thought.

 

I believe these to be pessimistic comments, but I just can't be sure!

 

No one's biting.

 

?

 

Zandy, your icon reminds me of something that I can't place..

 

The Power of Anakin Christ compels you!

This is why this arc was soooooooooooooooooooo stupid and unneeded.

 

The reason why I am not a big fan of TCW is because of the constant change of quality of the episodes.
Some episodes such as the 'Return of Boba Fett' arc were pretty good.

As soon as they started combining characters, the quality dropped.
The Galaxy clearly isn't big enough, according to Filoni. Why does Boba have to meet Ventress? Why does Maul have to recruit the Death Watch and Black Sun? Why do Ahsoka and her boyfriend have to visit a Death Watch camp?
What has Maul to do with war?

The CW show by Tartakovsky was much better!
