Lit Clone Wars Continuity Discussion (Spoilers Allowed)

come on, nothing can be harder than giving thousands of planets, moons and spacelanes a proper location on a map this is easy for Jason! If he did not shrug back from sorting out the Imperial Rank Insignia mess, he will dive head on into this

Personally I'd be happy if he did. The Atlas and Warfare were beyond awesome and I'd like to see more like those.

I always thought Shysa and Dala were on the side of the Death Watch.

Absolutely! Fry did a great job combining new and old EU elements. I still think there needs to be a new sort of 'essential guide to chronology' in which more EU elements are tied together.

I can see the explanations in the Essential Guide to Galactic History already...

In the Beginning, there was the Word, and the Word was Waru, and the Word was with Waru.

[...] And every time the great Waru breathes, he breathes new life into the Universe, but sometimes the Waru will cough, and whenever he coughs Time gets muddled.

Finally saw the episode. It was fun (maybe there should have been a few less OT lines) and I suppose it's the arc end but it left me wanting to see what happens on Mandalore now. I admit I like Bo-Katan and want to see more of her (I like Mandos, I like redheads, need I say more?).

Btw I know Jason Fry wrote a book about this story arc (it was by him, right?) and I'm wondering, how is it? Is it worth buying as a fun/good novel or not?

Wrong.
In the beginning there was only Lord Daiman. Then he got bored and created Waru. THEN he also created the known universe.

Ah, but Waru is a trans-dimensional being. Daiman created the reality we inhabit, and Waru created a reality based on Lord Daiman's vision. What followed was a struggle between gods that shook the heavens, shattered dimensional planes, and caused many continuity errors. Legends say that the Glove of Darth Vader was forged amidst the conflict.

It would make sense for Waru to be created before the universe, because Waru can be outside the universe and can be it's Lord when Daiman doesn't want to, but that brings up many more theological questions. Like, how could Lord Daiman get bored enough to create the universe if he already had Waru?

Edit: Hmm, it looks like I and instantdeath have different views of the creation of the universe. It's been harder to see the exact events now that Lord Daiman has allowed us to see his glory. Our old writings of Waru as the Sole Creator are now heresy. I have to ponder on the meaning of the Glove and how accidentally it became to be.

Maybe Waru is Daiman reborn

I think everyone would love to see a novel about Daiman creating the universe...

Yeah that 3 way fight was pretty awsome finisher. The entire spisode was good, but that was a fantastic close.

Hail Waru! Hail!

On the latest episode, I must say, very very impressed with it. Not sure what else I can say about it. Sidious was like the anti-Yoda there with him being this small thing jumping around his foes. Maul's coolness was slightly broken by the begging but I think he knows what kind of fate his master would give him. Also, I really felt the end of Satine and it was played nicely. And the civil war on Mandalore? I really wonder what happens later. Almec's still in charge isn't he? And is the Shadow Collective gone now? Its effective leader is gone and its co-leader. Doubt the Death Watch will stay with them so what happens? Do the crime syndicates scatter to the winds once more?

As painful as it is to see Maul beg, I honestly can't really blame him after watching Sids fight like that. Plus it actually 'does' fit with his character when you consider just how deeply abused and broken he was by Sids over time. Sids was everything to him. Yes, there was one point where he wanted to kill him in the EU (in a final test right before being promoted to a Sith Lord), but never before did he actually get to go toe to toe with his master. Sidious stopped the test before they could actually fight. He also wanted to kill him right here and look how that turned out. His overconfidence was quickly abolished by this decimation, and the Sith are indeed cowards in the end.

Like I said earlier, even after reading the book the fight was more intense than I expected. (The book did not mention maul using the dark saber). Sids moonwalked Savage to death. I couldn't be more impressed with him.

That and... "There is no mercy" alone is worth a whiney Maul.

I actually felt sorry for Maul when he began begging. How much does the book go into detail?

The best part about Maul is not the begging in the end, but the sheer fear you see in his eyes when he says "I sense something, something I've not felt since...master!"

I had a dream.... An entire animated series staring Palpatine/Sidious in every episode

Who voiced him? Ian McDiarmid, perhaps? Having him voice Palpatine in the future episodes of TCW would not ease the loss of Ian Abercrombie but would be frikkin' sweet.

Last night I had a dream where I was at a party and ate with both Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Christopher Lee at the same time. And the food was good. Clearly that was a prophecy from Waru or Daiman.

My belief of a titanic struggle mainly stems from the fact that I don't believe two proud entities such as Waru and Daiman could coexist peacefully; they would seize power, and both attempt to claim credit for creating life and the universe. There can be no peace between them.

The Gloves origins are mysterious. Some say Daiman ordered it forged in order to defeat Waru. Others say a third player in this war between the deities, Kyle Katarn the First, the only mortal to ever ascend to Godhood, crafted the glove. The only thing we know for certain is that it's common name, "The Glove of Darth Vader", is itself heresy. The Glove is not Vader's. The Glove is power incarnate, power such as Vader has never dreamed of.

Wait are Korkie and Amis supposed to be retconned into Shysa and Dala?
And isn't Jason to be writing a Star Wars: The Clone Wars guide to be released this July?

Is it just me or does the blonde girl look like Kristen Bell?

If you're curious, blog post at the official site about the writing of Shadow Conspiracy, and the difference between a book and episodes of a show.

Hm, I wonder what that "second half of an Easter egg that’s half-retcon and half-inside joke" is. Too bad I don't have the book.
