    Speaking for myself, seeing Monument Plaza on screen was one of my favorite Star Wars moments ever. Yeah, they added the restaurant-y things from another McQuarrie sketch into it so it didn't look the way we always envisioned it, but I didn't care so much. It was great seeing one of the most iconic locations in the EU on the screen.


    So here we have an example of a movie planet with a portrayal that damages continuity, and yet is still awesome.

    Does TCW still leave room for that clone uprising on Kamino that was mentioned in one of the novels or comics a while ago?

    It happens after the Clone Wars

    Yeah, the Kaminoan Uprising (as depicted in Battlefront 2 and referenced in Sacrifice) takes place at least a decade after the end of the Clone Wars.

    That's the one that involves Pellaeon, right?

    I don't remember any ships being part of it in Battlefront II, even ones hovering in the background like on some maps, but that would actually be a good retcon. Even if no major ships took part in the uprising I'm sure the ground troops still needed to be transported there somehow.

    Wasn't Pelly's "early clones" comment a reference to spaarti clones? I don't think that the clones who rose up on Kamino had "clone madness" or anything of that sort.

    Finally saw this episode.

    Nice 40 jours dans le désert homage. Makes me miss Moebius even more. Maybe, as commented before in this thread, the multiple suicide references aren't that appropriate for a Cartoon Network show, but then again this show has never had to clear who its target audience is.

    What about the Morgukai clones in the war?

    I'm assuming this was directed at me, but I'm honestly not sure where half of it is even coming from.

    I_L: not familiar with those, alas. My knowledge of the actual Clone Wars is very appalling since most of the books/comics came out in the years that I was pretty sick of the EU and spent most of my days pining for the Empire...


    ...actually, not sure how that's any different from today.

    True, but even when the show is being more "adult" it's rarely this blatant. Then again, when I was catching up on the show earlier this year I was actually shocked at how often they just killed people on stage. Maybe it's just a product of growing up in the early 90s, when Batman: TAS was the most violent thing on children's TV and yet that show never killed people on screen...

    I've noticed when you make replies it generally has to have a snarky attitude to it Cooper. In the very bottom quote, you could have just said, "Krell is a Besalisk, like Dex, from AOTC." (I even said that exact same thing in a previous post in this thread). There was no need to try and have the up-and-superior attitude like you do with your reply and say "From, you know, that one movie" with a link. A simple statement of connecting Krell to Dex to AOTC would have been perfectly fine. I'm sorry at the time of my asking if Krell was a new alien species or not that I had forgotten Dex, an insignificant character in the lore of SW with 17000+ characters, even if he was in a movie, albeit possibly the worst of the six current movies of the franchise, in a very small role.

    Your other comment, about the correlations, and what-not, putting words in my mouth, assuming I mean to diss TCW instead of just discuss, etc, it's all very unwarranted.

    Had Abaddon?

    It existed a while before Legacy, but just never appeared until then. So, similar to TCW being the first depiction of Umbara.

    That's the oldest planet ever. :p

    Note my reply to Arawn above. I am disagreeing with his suggestion. I did so in a teasing manner, and with a statement that, while not literally true, effectively communicates--or would to most people here--the reason I don't regard Had Abbadon as technically being a "new" planet.

    The thing you are taking offense to is my personality. I make jokes, none of which are at the personal expense of other forumers, and most people seem to be okay with that. Arawn (and please correct me if I'm wrong) is probably not angry with me right now, and has not assigned nonexistent subtext to my comment in order to justify that anger. If you're going to see it as an existential insult every time I contradict or disagree with you, you should probably take that up with the mods.

    I think perhaps it's not a wise decision to be snarky or in a condescending manner to brand new members of a forum, those who would not know you or be availed of themselves to your massive wit and humorous asides.

    Sigh. Alright guys, let's step back here. Nobody's going to win the fight of who wronged who more, and it's not really worth arguing over anyway.

    Let's just move on.

    This bunny is the easter egg to end all easter eggs!

    But since canon doesn't understand easter eggs, this does mean they killed Jaxxon even though he should canonically be alive at that point, eh? ;)

    Hasn't Rogue Planet been rendered apocryphal by those episodes of TCW that depict Anakin and Tarkin's first meeting during the Clone Wars?

    Then again, Rogue Planet has other problems, such as a Jedi character being irked by the fact that Mace Windu has never gotten married, which would make ****-all sense in light of what AOTC established regarding Jedi lifestyle.

    It wasn't that he hadn't gotten married- it was that his lack of marriage and raising children, made him less qualified to comment on what to do about Anakin (who was a kid raised by a parent rather than the Order).

    That still doesn't make sense, as no Jedi could marry and have children, so therefore no Jedi could look after Anakin effectively.

    And what about Anakin's interactions with Tarkin in the book? How does it effect their meeting in TCW?

    Well IIRC, Jedi Thracia Cho Leem had been married and had children, and that was her point. She's had kids, she has a different perspective, one that suggests the Jedi are ill-equipped to raise children, or at least would be better equipped if they had children of their own.

    I didn't read the book until well after I had seen AOTC and ROTS and I saw absolutely no problem with that aspect.

    I think it makes sense... from a certain point of view....

    :p

    In the context of AoTC- it might be closer to "Jedi are ill-equipped to raise a child who has grown up with a parent"

    Because Anakin has been raised by a parent all his young life- he has issues that normal Jedi children don't (from the point of view of Yoda and Mace)- issues that are best resolved by having someone who's been a parent handle them (at least- that's what Thracia thinks).
