EU mentions in the Clone Wars Series (spoilers)

With respect Gry, that and 25 cents will get you some bubblegum

Better to whisper the idea into Jason Fry's ear. He has been known to watch the threads in Lit, from time to time.

 

Oh, sorry.

I like the potential this has for explaining the Providence. Seeing the Sith Dreadnaught cruisers' shortcomings earlier in the war, the CIS begin a design program to make up for it. The end result is a smaller, slimmer design that overcome the problems of the nigh-millennium old vessels and provide state-of-the-art shielding. Let the first one be named Trench in his honor or something.

 

Care to elaborate?

So I still haven't seen season2 (waiting for the DVD this month) or any of Season 3. I hear there's a Greedo appearance that's screwed up the EU. They should just change the name of the show to Star Wars: Universe Destroyer.

 

Expanded Universe Destroyer. Then again, between the Tantive IV and Greedo...

 

Oh GOD!! What did they do to screw up the Tantive IV????

 

The ship in ROTS is not it. It's a different ship. I don't know, maybe we already knew that and I'm just really late to the party. I had been under the impression for over five years that the ship we'd seen in ROTS was the same vessel that opened ANH, but the episode guide last week disproved that.

 

Ship in Rots is NOT Tantive IV- it's Sundered Heart from EAW- this is good continuity change because ships are not similar- one in Rots his smaller and with big engines... one in ANH has smaller engines compared to it's size- now TCW shows us Tantive IV from ANH- so Bail has many ships- not odd at all...

I think that TCW makes unnecessary changes but some of these are good- i like most EU but there is horrifying facts in Expanded Universe that I'm happy that I can ignore because they are "just EU"- Emperor's clone- those comics were actually pretty good but they ruin the meaning of the movies ... and then Darth Krayt and all these other crappy post-epVI sith- too bad TCW cannot destroy those "facts"...

 

It was fact until this year- but it have been bugging me a long time that those ships aren't similar- not only color but size and shape- still TCW should show us both ships together to avoid confusion...

Dathomir seems to be in need of very big retcons after those eps come out- i hope they'll not claim that Zabraks are native to Dathomir (or even worse that they are indeed dathomiri and not zabraks) there could be "Dathomiri Zabraks" though and Maul could be one of them (he doesn't really look much like Eeth Koth, Agen Kolar or Sugi) at least Filoni used term zabraks to mean Maul's relatives including Savage Oppress- I'm very interested how they will solve Ventress-identityproblem..... Red color of the Dathomir is not very big problem- since area named "Red Hills" on Dathomir is mentioned in EU already- and red atmosphere looks more cool than usual swamp/forest we have seen on Dathomir in EU
