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

Several of the episodes in early season 3 are flashback episodes.

 

Episodes of TCW aren't always in chronological order.

For instance, the episode in Season 3 with King Katuunko is set before his appearance in Season 1.

You saw The Hidden Enemy right? It's like that, sometimes the episodes are just a bit out of order.

 

Seasons 1 and 2 had episodes on Christophsis before the TCW movie as well.

 

Yeah... like I said about The Hidden Enemy.

 

I forgot what episode that was.

 

The episodes air order isn't the same as the timeline order.

Ghost it's not in chronological order.

 

Ghost

You're watching TCW for the first time?

Spoiler

 

Fair enough.

 

I watched the last two seasons, and I saw some of the earlier episodes, but not all of them and not in order.

 

Wow I just saw the lost missions, the Yoda force ghost story was real entertaining. I think it might be one of my favorite of the series. The whole premise of it was different and well told. Glad I bought it.

 

Entertaining yes but it broke the show.
The Last scene is just Yoda accepting that the Jedi may lose the war but hope will arise and live on.
Yeah right, and then none of this is brought up in ROTS.

Don't misunderstand me here. I love the show but The Lost Missions ended up being retcons to ROTS that made more of a mess.
Order 66-chips,
Seps-neutrality
Sideous
Yoda and the silly visions of ROTS.

*Utapau messed up in Crstal Crisis
*Saluecami messed up in Bad Batch
*Quinlan Vos in Dark Disciple

It doesn't make sense.
The series doesn't even respect the stuff it does.
Mortis? No we don't ever get a full explanation.
Who remembers it? Why does Yoda know? What was the point?

So the biggest problem is, come to ROTS after TCW and it literally screws the whole movie up.
Yoda doesn't seem to remember any of the visions that came true and isn't like oh I should have listened and DONE SOMETHING. Yeah Yoda he is literally shown what will happen and just accepts it. "We may lose the war, we may lose the Jedi order but A new hope will arise and the j r di will return."

And they were planning more.
Kashyyyk and the wookies.

Is not anything in ROTS Sacred? We pretty much got /were going to get to see most things from the film.


Sorry for the rant but it ended up being a parody of itself. Maybe I just never noticed but now it seems that way.

I still love the show, Dave Filoni is a good artist.

Ahsoka, Rex, Domino Squad and the whole heaps and bounds of characters, settings and stories as well as the things the show taught me are why I like it.
I grew up with the show so it developed as I developed but looking back some stuff doesn't make sense or work and is goofy.
But I still love it.

*apart from Dark Disciple-I still can't wrap my head round it, because of how horribly wrong it is. I know what they were trying to achieve but how the heck did it end up so bad/wrong?
And Son of Dathomir, no one talks about it as if it never existed. Dave never brings it up.
Lo I digress.

* the boards are just full of negativity. The new films broke the community into pieces so now everyone has something to gripe about, (Thanks GL, Disney)

 

Yes those are all valid points, I guess I don't really hold the cartoons as cannon and more of entertainment. I do like the art style better than rebels and the more serious tone.

 

Agreed.
The show did some phenomenal things and attempted stuff that was kinda hard to accept but heck if TCW can do it, why can't they do more?
I mean animation has alot of advantages and could be more serious if they wanted it to me.
The show proves it point blank and shows people can care about animated characters.

 

I am going to be honest I am one of the PT bashers but after watching TCW I actually liked Anakin and thought they did a good job redeeming what PM failed to do. I loved how they showed how devastating war was and how dispensable the Clones were. Lots of great characters that I will miss and yes I got emotionally connected to cartoon characters so that was brilliant writing. A lot of you guys have a TCW Masters Degree and are extraordinary fans.

 

I did a timeline with the idea the series began about six months after the Battle of Geonosis.

Do we have any idea when the series actually started because four weeks after Geonosis was too ridiculous and about one-three months seems too quick. The Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems (not Separatist Alliance! That was stupid sounding) would've needed time following Geonosis to get their forces ready for battle.

 

That's one impressively random list. I'd like to see more elaboration on the discrepancies.

Newsflash: despite the Story Group, discrepancies in a large franchise fiction, multi-medium, multi-authored universe will continue to happen. I am hoping the degree of disconnect will be minimized, however.

But I also appreciated that you were able to separate your perceived discrepancies from good story-telling, in lieu of using discrepancies to justify your opinions.

And finally, that you grew up with TCW is both cool and makes me feel...not young. Lol.

 

I grew up with TCW and it's what got me into Star Wars in the first place, and I love it, but I admit I wonder how I'd feel about some stuff if I rewatched it.

 

Well at least they don't punch an army to death or fight like six jedi by SPINNING....

 

This. So much this.

 

You say that like it's a bad thing.

 

That's the artistic style of the cartoon, of course it's not meant to be taken literally. And to be fair, TCW lightsaber duels are faster than in the movies, i. e. very stylized as well. Not as over the top as in the micro series, but not as "realistic" like in the movies.

 

It's sad to see the downplaying of the microseries's quality, originality, and legacy is already taking shape. Actually, I'm 7 years late, but you guys get the point.
