Lit Clone Wars Continuity Discussion (Spoilers Allowed)

I'm sure I don't know what you mean by that.

But yes.

(joking)

So I 'just' secured my Ticket to SDCC. Going to the Star Wars Lit and Clone Wars panels are now my highest priority. (I will also try to hit up Dark Horse panels at both C2E2 and SDCC if I can.)

Expect me to inquire on when we'll see Oppo Rancisis, Sly Moore, San Hill, and the other Jedi Council members like Strass, Agen, and Coleman Kcaj. (Oh, and if I have time. Maybe if we'll see more of Master Vos.)

And in the Del Ray panels, expect me to hit them with a direct question related to publishing future material and what they know of the EU's fate in regards to episode 7 (that is, if someone doesn't beat me to the punch).

Cool -- have fun!

About Oppo -- they told us like... well over a year ago that he was going to show up and they had his character model done for an episode. But seeing is it took them over two years to finally show the episode with Hondo in the Slave 1 after that was announced in 2010, who knows? At any rate, keep your eyes peeled! Although chances are good you'll see him for .5 seconds as he dies in a trailer.

Secrets hidden inside (open) Secrets hidden inside (close)

I know that Oppo's model was approved, but Filoni said they didn't use the model yet. I'd like an update on it to confirm that they 'will' use it. Though I suspect the reason we haven't seen him yet is because of the challenge of animating his mighty beard. I do hope we see him fight. A single comic battle (and death) is not enough.

And yes, I know that by him appearing, it could further muddle continuity. Oh well. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll forget to kill him.

Strass and Agen would be cool to see for at least a bit... and we know nothing about Kcaj. Moore really needs to at least make a cameo (we've seen her damn planet, but not her?), and I'd like to see at least an acknowledgment that San Hill and other council members 'exist'.

Oh well, who knows. I'll try to focus on these little things in a 1-2 line question. I only have so much space to get away with it (you know, so the little kid behind me can ask if we'll see Rex and Anakin in Season 6.)

While I'm certain that Ahsoka will be exonerated and survive this arc, I'm also wondering if at the end, Ahsoka will begin to have serious questions/doubts/concerns about the Republic and the Jedi's role in it. I'm not saying she'll defect to the Separatists, but rather she'll leave the Jedi and join those Jedi who declared that they won't support either side. Instead, they will remain neutral and stay out of the conflict.

LOL. Nice. Subtle too. So to be clear, your position is that the scene was a ripoff?

Oddly enough, SFDebris just addressed the topic:
Homage vs Ripoff

You can't rip your own series off

As @SithStarSlayer pointed out, Palpatine was attending a mass Jedi funeral inside the Jedi Temple itself. Talk about winning. Darth Bane's spirit would've been laughing manically wherever it resides.

We tried to tell TOR that, but it wouldn't listen.

TCW straight up repeats dialogue from the movies in a manner. Everyone is guilty in some manner here

IGN interview w/ Sam Witwer

Definite mentions of there being more seasons of TCW in the pipeline (if we were still unsure about that?)

Just wrapped Clone Wars Episode Guide. For those who were curious, thanks to the good folks at LFL and DK it will include all of Season 5. Lots to discuss in the last two episodes!

[stupid double post]

Is Borkus on the cover?

Or if the cover is yet to be decided please forward my vote

No, but the deluxe edition includes a case shaped like Borkus's head, and if you punch him in the nose the book emerges on his tongue.

It's like the Jedi Path, except for being a really bad idea.

Sweet!
