Full Series Official "The Clone Wars" Series Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

There were some clones still serving in the military in the OT era, though not many. Presumably those were small children, infants, or even embryos during Order 66.

 

It's already been confirmed that the baby clones in ROTS grew up and became Storm troopers as the last active duty clones in service. Read Smugglers Run.

 

The question is - were they the babies, or the Boba-age youngsters? Smuggler's Run leaves it vague when that clone was actually "born". I'd prefer them to be the babies - but I could see this being retconned.

 

As of now it would be the baby because he was said to look like he was in his 40s during ANH so that would put him at 19-20 bby or so, but they could always just completely retcon that.

 

I know I'm not alone in realizing irony of the name (as it's pronounced) of the capital city on Onderon that the so-called "terrorists" were trying to recapture. My guess is that Saw won't be mentioning it in the new movie.

 

What's it called?

 

The capital of Onderon is Iziz, you know, like ISIS. Sorta amusing.

Tbf the capital of Onderon has been called Iziz since 1993, before ISIS even existed.

But then there's also the Egyptian Goddess Isis...and Isis is the name of Catwoman's favorite cat on Batman: TAS.

 

Yeah but this is is 2016, and one of the main characters in the new movie just happens to be from Onderon. I just don't think it would be a coincidence that they'd leave that detail out; or even change the name of the capital.

 

ISIS or ISIL are acronyms for Islamic state or Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant . It would be a stretch to connect to Iziz I think. If the screen writer is some kinda anti-American communist or something and uses Saw as some kinda Fidel Castro type revolutionary, then perhaps a political connection . But it it would have to be really overt for the average audience to pick up on. I don't think Iziz is really very known outside of core TCW /SW fans or general audience. Watching TCW though, Iziz looked modeled on Rome, Greece and Egypt. I don't think the Muslim fanatic terrorists of ISIS would take very kindly to being connected to a pagan Egyptian goddess either. But who knows maybe you're right.

Imperial Clones and Imperial Kamino havent actually been explored in new canon, just teased here and there. If the First Order has the ability of choice to have implemented Clone troopers, then its feasible that tech was readily available to the Empire and Imperial remnants.

 

I do wonder if Saw will Mention any Clone wars stuff.

 

He might mention Ahsoka. Or his sister.

 

I'd love for him to mention Ahsoka, but it would be a severe detriment to his character if he doesn't acknowledge his sister.

 

A mention of his dead sister is a given, I would say.

 

Okay, just a random observation by me: In the episode The Wrong Jedi, there was at least two times the music was very similar to the score of the last Harry Potter movie. Like, eerily similar. Plagiarism or whatever.

 

Examples?

 

Around 2:10 into the episode, as the music builds up as it's transitioning to Anakin and Ahsoka before the trial, it sounds like 2:28 into this:


And when Anakin is interrogating Ventress here (1:47):



It sounds a lot like the beginning of this (0:14):

 

Reminded more of this at 1:26

 

Yes, that's the one I meant. Couldn't find a clip of it.

 

Why do you consider it plagiarism though? I think it's entirely possible Kiner took inspiration from other John Williams movies but to consider it plagiarism is a little too far. Now, if the whole arc was like that I would have agreed but I didn't notice it.

 

That's actually not John Williams though, it's that Desplat guy. Maybe not plagiarism, but it seemed a bit too similar to be a coincidence. Not that I'm complaining, I love those soundtracks.

 

I absolutely love to find similar/identical musical cues in completely different movies whether it's accidental or not. I was so glad for that one person asking about the score at Celebration, If only people asked more about it rather than the same old questions, it would be refreshing.

 

Also not the first time.

 

Any other examples you know of..? Or what are you referring to?

 

11-4D
Kiner sampled Vampire Hunters (from Bram Stoker's Dracula). It features in two episodes, Downfall of a Droid and The Unknown.

 

Very interesting
