Lit Clone Wars Continuity Discussion (Spoilers Allowed)

Nope, both in regular-grip.

The one thing I didn't like about the episode was how heavily they implied Sids=Palps. I thought they were trying to stay away from that, leaving the reveal for ROTS. Otherwise, very excellent episode. I loved the visuals of the battle between the Mandalorians with the ruined city in the background. Satine's death was somewhat surprising; can't wait to see how Bo-Katan's story resolves now- they've got some interesting options open for her. I feel like Sidious plans to use Maul to kill Obi-Wan to serve as a catalyst for Anakin's transition (but will ultimately fail).

I still can't see that as a reveal....they've got the same actor, they sound the same, and Palps has all those evil grins...

Important to remember what might be incredibly obvious to us might not be so for the kids watching. Many of them still have no idea Palpatine and Sidious are one in the same.

Actually in the novel, or junior novel (I can't remember), he go the one that flew out the window back from Mas Ameeda and the clones. Just saying

*cough*i am a kid*cough*

So, after watching the video, what do you guys think will happen between Tarkin, Ahsoka, and Ventress in the season finale? And this anti-Jedi plot?

It looks like this could be Ahsoka's exit, or at least a big character transformation.

Are you 8 or younger?

Having Maul absorb the energy and get a power up? I'm sorry but that's just.....dumb. It just doesn't make any sense in the context and how the spells work. He was reverting to his normal self pre-spell as he died.

Maul begging for mercy was a sign that he finally broke. The guy has lost his brother, his identity, his master is against him, he spent years plotting his revenge only to fail. I thought it was perfect. And Palpatine didn't show mercy. Maul is now no longer an apprentice. He's a pawn to be used.

Also, the Palpatine using 2 sabers doesn't surprise me. He's going up against 2 people with a total count of 3 sabers, not counting the extra blade on the double bladed. I'm sure that he had learned a little bit of this style. You can't let traditions die off.

Though I do agree that it got pretty close to revealing the Palpatine=Sidious. I kinda wish we only had a shot of Palpatine feeling the ripple in the force and then just cutting away. Then seeing the ship arriving after the next couple of scenes. It would make it more mysterious IMO.

My sister is...
They stop, and have a moment where he laughs, or grins evilly all the time.
And whatever he does hurts the Jedi...

Wow. That episode was really, really epic. Visually stunning, the music was perfection.

I need to watch it again.

Looking through the book for some more TCW-related terms, Concordia comes up a number of times, also. But so far that's the only other one I've had any luck with.

Nobody wants to talk about what Tarkin, Ventress, Ahsoka, are up to in the season finale... which is going to have a Jedi Traitor plotline, an anti-Jedi populace plotline, and a mystery plotline too? And all the teasing that this may be when Ahsoka exits the show?

Looks like I ended my post too soon. In regards to Palpatine and future episodes of TCW - if he were to make cameos or appear but have no lines, then fine. But if Palpatine were to cintinue to take an active roll and speak, then there's the challenge of finding a new voice actor.

And yet he was never deformed by the lightning. Imagine that.

Nick Jameson, Sam Witwer, Ian McDiamirnd

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Sidious is the only one in Star Wars to ever show deformity from Force lightning (and of course many theorize that it wasn't the lightning that deformed him at all)

Yes, that's what I was getting at.

The hiccup is, he's the only one to get it back off a lightsaber. It's not completely crazy that that would've been amplified somehow. Plus it was basically point blank range, and directly to the face.

I always enjoyed the "Force masking" theory myself. I always preferred the idea that the dark side was so strong with Palpatine, it had been decaying his body, and of course using that disfigurement to his own political advantage is something he'd definitely do.

As for lightning scarring, there is actually one other example I can think of, but it wasn't really the lightning. When Revan fought the Sith Emperor, he was left with a scar on his face, but if memory serves, it wasn't the lightning that did it, but the lightning heating his mask enough to leave a mark on his face. Ouch.

Also, Plagueis mentions how lightning can deform the victim, but he says nothing about this being dependent on reflection by a lightsaber.

I too have always followed the force masking theory, as it just adds a bit to his character, even if it seems a plausibility stretch.

But what hints do we have that this upcoming arc could be the exit for Ashoka? I really, really want it to lead to some major change just as this current one did, but I remain skeptical that we won't be back to status quo by the end. (Though I do know Filoni claimed the arc would have a major revelation)

Having said that... Tarkin being involved highly is interesting, very interesting. Especially given the anti-Jedi sentiments. And even more-so given his recent letter to the chancellor regarding the droid arc's events. Given that he now sees the Jedi as incompetent, I have little doubt that he will push for Ashoka's guilt in the upcoming arc when events mounts to suggest that one of their own committed an act of violence (An act with Sidious no doubt had at least a slight hand in, as it plays out for him oh so well).

Anakin: "Ahsoka, you're the Chosen One"

That's hardly a revelation now, is it?

See now the Return of the Jedi: Ultimate Edition 3D, complete with CGI Ahsoka inserted onto the Death Star where she kills Palpatine at the bottom of the reactor shaft (which, as we all now know, long falls do not kill Sith Lords; see Darth Maul).

I am glad Tarkin is coming back. There should be more episodes focussing on characters such as him.
Glad the Maul episodes are over...
Come on, they introduce Savage only to kill him off some time later on.
I always thought he would become more powerful than Maul.
The only purpose Savage served was re-inroducing Maul, that is it!
I still think they should not have let Maul come back. His spirit could have come back, but that is all.
Originally, Savage was the 'Maul' of TCW. They should have kept it that way.
