Remember that Cartoon Network will be showing this episode WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 4TH and the regular Friday slot!


We're guessing it's because of the Tuesday release of the S1 DVD.


EDIT: Also supremely bizarre no mention of Barris? confused

Hehe, you got all dressed up and they don't mention Barriss... I guess she'll only appear in the following episode.

In the other thread people were talking about this new Commander Jet. First of all I have nothing against the name, sounds like a perfectly normal clone nickname. Second, why not use Baccara? Well, my guess is that Jet won't have a long and happy career.

Filoni said on the Forcecast that this episode is the reverse of Senate Spy - all action and almost no dialogue, the biggest battle of the clone wars ever shown.

I'd just like to crosspost my opinions on the new Clone officer.

1) Worst Clone nickname yet. I'll be surprised if we don't have a shot of Rex and Cody laughing at this guy behind his back.

2) He's probably that clone we see talking to Ki-Adi-Mundi, the one with the yellow paint and the vaguely Bacara-ish helmet.

3) If they're going to give Ki-Adi-Mundi a commander, why the **** is it not Bacara?

Extremely.

And as for CC-1138/Bacara not appearing with Ki-Adi-Mundi, I wonder why. What is this "Jet" clone.

I hate how they are putting another big battle on Geonosis! Have a little imagination! Try a new planet like Ithor, Glee Anselm, Dorin, or even Dagobah. I know Dagobah has no importance but its possible since Tatooine never really had anything to do with TCW either until the film came out.
Clone Commander Jet: Bring it.
No Bacara: epic fail
Barriss's new design: Huge Epic Fail
Ki-adi Mundi: Sweet!
Galactic Marines: Sick!

This episode has a mix of bad and good.

Latest Weekly Forcecast from Fan Days Texas. It's near the end of the episode where Dave Filoni drops around and talks about Senate Spy and how it was low action (and inspired by Hitchcock's Notorious) but the next episode was going to be huge and he was afraid that once Lucas saw it he would demand it all the time... it's at 1:38 on the October 27 Forcecast.

OK, let me rephrase that... why would you think a big battle episode was tiresome?

I don't know if you're familiar with Barriss from the Tarkovsky series and AOTC, but this Barriss is hardly like them. They completely changed the character. It was one thing to turn Grievous into some guy who wanted to be a Jedi, but it is a serious FAIL to change a character in her twenties to around 14 with a lot less expierience. No wonder Hasbro never wanted to remake her figure.
