Lit Clone Wars Continuity Discussion (Spoilers Allowed)

Being well verse in dance routines is an important part of jedi training.

But you should really see what the clones can do though. Let me tell you, no one does a musical number as well as the Galactic Empire.

God I hate the voice of Adi Gallia's daughter. I thought they were making it nasal in the first episode because they were on a cold planet, but three episodes later, she's still sounding like her nose is full of snot and making me want to punch her in the face.

I did like the inclusion of the Traveling Jindas, though, whom we haven't seen since those two episodes of Ewoks in 1986. Their leader had a glorious moustache and was played as a homage to Frank Marvel's performance in The Wizard of Oz.

All in all, the episode was as mediocre as the rest of the season has been. Space battles are good when there's something tactical about them, not when they're nothing more than flashing lasers and explosions. Obi-Wan let Grievous survive what would have been his certain death simply because he felt the need to gloat; we haven't seen that kind of idiocy from him before. Ahsoka being held captive in nothing but stuncuffs also made no sense. I wish I could say that I care about any of these child characters, but I don't, save for maybe the Wookiee. Am I just cynical? I did like the Gonk droid and the Sad Clown Gamorrean, but every episode this season has failed to hook me in just about every way possible. It almost feels like they're not even trying anymore.

Were you being regularly dragged in before?

Perhaps with the exception of Umbara last season I can't say that I feel the show has really given us anything I'd view as special since Season 2.

The space battle, while shiny, was pretty stupid - they're not even trying to make Grievous a general anymore, he just runs around and laughs nefariously. That said, everything involving the younglings was great. The best part is when they throw Hondo off the see-saw, he hits a beam on the way down and tumbles into a bunch of junk, and for a second there he isn't even that angry.

I guess nobody but me got why Obi Wan warned Grievous... cause it made sense from a certain point of view!

Obi Wan's troops could not reach the escape pods in time... as we saw, Grievous was on the bridge before they were done boarding and could have easily disabled the pods. So Obi Wan buys time by distracting Grievous from the escape pod controls by calling him and hoping he can run not fast enough to make it off the ship while he saved all the troops lifes in the pods... though how they escape the enemy fleet to pick them up is beyond me still, at least the buying time element made perfect sense.

Since my expectations of the CWAS is already rock-bottom, I was actually enthused that they showed Grievous for once.

I've come down with whooping cough, so I definitely appreciate Grievous a lot more as a character now. I find it difficult to put pants on in the morning when I'm having coughing fits, let alone wage a galactic war.

Poor, poor General Grievous (read: me)

It is the same rig that they used to hold Obi-Wan in Attack of the Clones. It emits constant electric shocks to prevent the jedi from concentrating enough to use the force.

That's what I get for posting in the middle of watching the episode.

In that case, I would put it down to a combination of exhaustion and being surrounded by guys with guns with no where to go. The jedi stress patience after all.

Glad to see a rather clear Sep victory in the little fleet battle. Sure, the ship wasn't captured, but it was still a pretty solid win for Grevious.

I knew there was something about Hondo that was familiar, a reason he is so popular, but it wasn't until Disney bought LFL that I remembered. Disney made him first. So maybe we can have a crossover between the two most rakish pirates ever



They even have similar voices/speaking patterns and personalities.

Meh, I was like 80% cool with Onderon. The other 20% was "Rebellion via Proper Grenade Velocity 101" and "AAT Fighting for Dummies: Just Lift the Lid".

Yeeeesss. "Classmates".

Nick, Jello's mocking your story arc.

One of the reasons the "micro-series" will always be superior. But they certainly made a go at it in Season One... and then shuffled him into the background after the much-ballyhooed "RISE of the BOUNTY HUNTERS" [sic] and he's never regained his footing.

Well, he was a tyrant in the classical sense - not elected but not a real king either. Between being that and a Seppie, I thought you would hate him on principle.

But yeah....come to think of it, with Mandalore and Ryloth too, it seems that the show has taken the viewpoint that any foreign military presence whatsoever is oppressive. Even though the Republic is no more foreign to this planets than American troops are in California.....and that would be a very oversimplified position to take in the first place. If TCW was doing WW2, the French probably would have thought the British and Americans were just as bad as the Germans.

Basically Vlaklu >>>>> Rash when it came to being an Onderon usurper

The man even dueled the Queen in her throne-room while he had a Drexel Larva beat down the doors
