Lit A/V Clone Wars Continuity Discussion (Spoilers Allowed)

If I wasn't at work right now I'd be sticking a Cad Bane reference on that thing as we speak.

He was referencing an old running gag. Obviously K'Kruhk didn't actually die, but there was a point in time, IIRC, where that was believed to have been his canon death.

 

That was what I was thinking of doing.

 

Besides, wouldn't be the first time TCW stole something from Legacy. I still remember Legacy had the Nu-class shuttle but then had to change it to Nune-class when TCW decided to name their shuttle that. Not like there aren't another dozen or so Greek letters they could have used, oh wait. They barely even use any of those early season ships anymore (when the Twilight blew up at Mandalore, I would be more sad if we had seen Anakin use it at all in the last few years). At least I think that was how it went? A Nu-class reference was still in the Legacy Era Campaign Guide (most were corrected to Nune-class).

And TCW run over EU continuity? Not like that doesn't happen often or anything....

And they're my hats! Mine!
A true gentleman never gives his hat away.

I would be fine if they had Krayt (argh! Don't remember his real name) in TCW, then killed him dead. Perfectly fine.

 

Well, this thread has grown 13 pages since I last checked this forum, barely four days ago. Do I even want to know what stunning revelations inspired so much conversation?

EDIT: Meh, just the Barriss debate, was hoping for something new. I'll put in my two cents when I watch the episodes, which will almost certainly be when everyone has stopped caring about them.

 

I wouldn't mind invalidating K'Kruhk's presence in Legacy.

 

I wouldn't mind either but how are they going to explain that? With the Adi Gallia didn't they say it was her sibling/cousin or someone new that stepped into that role with the same name? Lame reason. Probably will be K'Kruhk the 2nd or something.

 

I'm thinking more "residual brainworm effects". Don't forget that Barriss has turned evil on TCW once before.



^Side effects may include dizziness, "wormtongue", out of character behavior, trying to kill your friends, aversion to cold, sudden affection for red lightsabers, and mild-to-severe headaches. If you experience brainworm for more than four hours, please consult a medical droid.

 

And Ahsoka was so innocent....

 

I'm thinking Palpatine purposely made it more public theatre. It definitely helps his ultimate purpose, and would give the trial a lot of media attention. Couldn't have turned out better for Palpatine, with Psycho Jedi screaming how the Jedi are an amy of evil who should all be put on trial.

 

I recall now, from points in this episode and previous, how much emphasis was made on the point of clones being killed. That strongly suggests it was a military trial and that Palpatine stood as judge in his capacity not as supreme chancellor of the republic, but of commander in chief of the GAR. The particpation of the Senators could be justified through their holding honorary military ranks of some kind (something in the back of my head says we've seen senators command clones before that would establish this).

Obviously the trial is irregular, perhaps the first of its kind, but that's not entirely surprising, really. The senior leadership of the GAR is composed primarily of Jedi, who as we just saw have their own justice system outside of the Republic's, and of Clones, who realy aren't capable of treason.

Thinking on that, as an alternative - perhaps the setup used to try Ahsoka was originally set up in order to hypothetically try Count Dooku. Obviously Palpatine was never going to allow that to happen, but it's the kind of thing a bored Senate subcommittee would dream up, and when you suddenly have a high ranking former Jedi charged with high treason in front of you, you may grasp for anything that happens to be on the books.

 

Makes sense- he may have been made "Supreme Commander" in the last days of the war- but I think he was Commander in Chief from the beginning. That would fit with Guide to the Grand Army of the Republic, and subsequent media referencing it.

 

Interesting to note that even jawajames at Club Jade, the man who said this:

...couldn't help but pick apart The Wrong Jedi's trial plot.

 

I don't think it is though. Earlier in TCW, Padme mentioned that Gunray was going to be tried by the Senate, and I believe someone mentioned this is what would have happened to Dooku as well if he was captured (most likely in the episode Dooku captured)

And it isn't limited to the show either:

Ulic Qel-Droma was also tried by the senate, as was Demagol and Drojander Kace from the KOTOR comics.

I am starting to expect that any high treason and war crimes trial is handled by the senate.

 

Please.....people need to stop making Filoni out to be some evil Sith Lord.

Barriss was chosen because of what has been established in the show preivously(her relationship to Ahsoka).

That is all there is to it.

 

And just to spare us all the rejoinders--that's not the same as saying her relationship to Ahsoka was handled well.

 

K'Kruhk the Younger

 

If failoni goes trough with this it's on your heads

 

Or that

 

Have they come up with an Adi explanation yet? I thought ol' Leland was waiting before the series ends before making any declarations. Though I guess that hasn't stopped Mr. Fry and co. from doing some cleanup.
