I like the TV show for the most part. I hate to say it, but Ahsoka is getting on my nerves. Not her per se, but the idea of her. I'm starting to resent her prescence. She is NOT needed and it was poor idea on the part of Lucas. Jeez. Anakin doesn't feel like Anakin to me either - again, has got to be the voice actor.  He's TOO mature IMO. Far cry from RotS where he was still a little immature and plagued with deep thoughts. But perhaps I'm jumping the gun. This show will 100 episodes. Plenty of time to lead him there and kill Ahsoka  
Gossip Girl huh? I love that show...I was just watching my season 1 DVDs

I'm enjoying the show so far, and it seems to be improving with each episode. Yes, the kid-oriented humor is occasionally overdone (particularly with the battle droids), but there are plenty of somber moments and suspenseful action sequences which balance the overall tone and provide a classic SW feel.
I disagree that Anakin is coming across as "too mature." He has always been a multifaceted character who can act very differently according to the situation. When he's in his natural element, such as leading a fighter squadron or orchestrating an impromptu rescue mission, he can play to his strengths and take on the role of a skilled and professional hero. Once he gets too personally and emotionally involved, then he tends to behave irrationally. As the war progresses and the stakes get higher, I'm sure we'll see more of the inner conflict. Honestly, I would prefer less of the dark foreshadowing, since we get more than enough of that in the PT. If this series portrays him as a proper hero, the eventual tragedy of his fall would be much more effective and profound. (It already is, but this would improve it.  )

For a topic which is more closely related to Obi-Wan and Anakin, has anyone else beaten The Force Unleashed?
Yes, I beat it a while back. It was a bit too short, but fun while it lasted. I don't think I can accept the story as canon, though. Starkiller is cool and all, but it's a bit much for a previously undocumented character to singlehandedly take on the Empire, defeat Vader and the Emperor (I know he died at the end, but not until after he beat them and let his guard down), and essentially found the Rebel Alliance.

I reject your canon and substitute my own! Hope for the best; prepare for the worst. May the Force be with you.

i know i'm probably really late with this topic, but what did everyone make of the SW tv show?
i think this will say a lot for me lol. i turned it on, but then ended up watching gossip girl...ahah!
i guess i hated the fact they were making it so kiddish. i take SW really seriously, and the show is great for kids and everything and maybe you guys really liked it...thats TOTALLY cool, but i don't think they captured the whole essence of it too well
just my take...i did watch like 20 seconds of it and thats it ahah! so maybe i shouldn't say anything 
I haven't watched anything but the movie yet because I wasn't sure when it was on. I'll watch an episode at starwars.com though and then give my take.

I definitely agree that Starkiller's importance seems strange. I'm trying to think of a retcon to explain why Vader lost to someone who was struggling against Shaak Ti a short time earlier. I think the idea I'll go with is that Vader's feelings got the better of him given that Starkiller was in a way, like a son to him. As for Palpatine, I chalked it up to him underestimating Starkiller given how easily he defeats him in the Dark Side ending.

Just finished the first episode ("ambush")I didn't realize the opening narration was on each episode, but if you can get past that the show gets better. They went a bit over the top with the battledroid humor, but I think Filloni did a good job blending the Prequel Yoda with OT Yoda, both in terms of the quirky trickster aspect, but also the teacher aspect. The part where he mentors the clones had an aura akin to that of Empire to me. It's certainly not the dark and serious Star Wars of recent years, but in someways I think that's good.

Anakin felt right to me in the movie, so I'm hoping he will in the series as well. The voice change is a little hard to get past, but my guess is you might get used to it after a few episodes as I did about half way through the movie.

yah Dee! Anakin is just so...weird. i can't really get past the voice and he just doesn't seem like ANAKIN. aha. i guess it's the simple fact that i hate seeing him with a Padawan, and having her call him Master, and it just doesn't fit in my opinion. i don't think it's the simple fact that HE'S too mature, but the fact that there is someone else on the show that is MORE immature then him (Ahsoka).
yah...it just seems like the producers were trying to make another Anakin out of her and it just doesn't work. when he complained and whined and etc etc in AOTC, we got over it because he also had this personality to him. but Ahsoka? it feels like her only personality is to act like she knows what she's doing, when she really doesn't
wow, a lot of Ahsoka hate over here ahaha! and don't think it's because i'm jealous, because i most certainly am NOT!
i've done enough character obsessing on Anakin to understand that something JUST ISN'T RIGHT. lol

I think I may end up agreeing as I wish they had just used the Obi-Wan/Anakin dynamic instead of creating a new character to create a parallel to it. However, I think that she can serve the larger story if she eventually dies as it would be yet another important female figure that Anakin fails to save because he isn't powerful enough, which would give his pathos in RotS, even more justification and depth as he would have lost both his mother and his "daughter/little sister."

I am wondering how they'll address that.

little sister? what little sister? I don't remember Anakin having a little sister.stepbrother maybe,but sister.
speaking of Anakin/Vader,how come it took him awhile to sense Leia's presence in the Force?she was right in front of him when they held her captive.is it because her skill of the Force wasn't as strong as Luke?

The "little sister" would be Ahsoka, who I'm 99% sure will die at some point in the series.
As for why he never sensed Leia, my guess is that there are two main reasons. The first being that Leia wasn't drawing on the Force and didn't know how, so she appeared as if she wasn't Force Sensitive. The latter being that she had no idea she was Force-Sensitive, and so there was nothing in her mind which could betray that to Vader.

Personally, I'm for McCain and I definitely won't elaborate. Really don't want to get into an argument with any of you... I love you guys! 
Anyway, I think Anakin overall was a mature Jedi, but as we get to ROTS he has a prophetic dream about Padme's death, causing the immature Ani to come forth.

P.S. I also think we should stray away from politics... this may cause some unnecessary disagreements that shouldn't even begin...

I want to vote for Obama, but I don't want to debate about that either.
I think Anakin changed a lot between Episode 2 and Episode 3. He has gotten more mature.

I like the show so far (even despite some of the obviously kid-aimed humor) . I especially liked the last episode – so Anakin to lead a fighter raid It’s not as dark as the movies get at times (and far from the mature ROTS atmosphere) but I think the CW show is aimed more at the younger audience and they need that more shallow, happy-go-lucky, good-guys-will-prevail feel to the whole thing.
I don’t really like Ahsoka. She does kinda get on my nerves. I don’t really agree with comparing her to Anakin, I don’t think they’re really THAT much alike. Impulsiveness wise maybe but that’s about it for the most part. She would add to Anakin’s “motive” in ROTS but it’s still weird that she’s not mentioned.
Anakin seems alright. Actually the voice in tis show is more easier, for me, to accept, for lack of a better word, than in the first CW. I don’t think I’d describe Anakin as too mature. More Jedi-like maybe, but not more mature, per se. But then I never saw Anakin as immature (at least for his age) and I never saw him as whiny in AOTC so… *shrug*
