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

Six seasons sounds about right to me. Maybe TCW can end in time for when Episode 7 comes along.

 

I think season 7-8. Then maybe a Dark Times rebrand. TCW can really go on as long as it wants so long as there are plenty stories to tell.

 

Oh man, I could totally see them shoehorn in characters from the new saga somehow.. O__o

 

I am of the opinion TCW should jump almost the entire cast and follow another group of characters or atleast follow a 2nd group half the time. Not sure about new saga characters however.

 

I just want something that has nothing to do with the Skywalker tale. Ideally I wish they'd wrap up TCW and move onto some other time period, like anything 1,000 BBY or earlier. I would also be OK with them re-branding TCW into the Dark Times. And if they must stay with TCW... I wish some of the characters that weren't developed in the films would take the spotlight more often. Not R2, Anakin, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan all the time.

The Krell arc and Bounty are some of my favorites because they went a different direction and followed completely different characters.

 

TCW can be at its best focusing on OCs, agreed. But can also bomb out with a large OC cast, see Onderon. Its hard to tell where the greenest grass is. I'm just enjoying the ride. Its the journey. Trouble is there are so many characters fighting for screentime and is a pretty typical show focusing on a selection of about 5 or 7. There are few regular reoccuing characters orbiting around that main cast as is which where OCs should be. I want haracters not resolved in the movies atleast. Just slotting Kit Fisto in for example is cool and all but doesn't make the show less predictable which is a big complaint with TCW

The biggest disservice that has been done to TCW in a long time is Filoni telling us Ahsoka's fate absolutely won't be resolved until the end of the series. We all knew that to be the case I'm sure, but word of god saying that, that sucks. Still we don't know what Ahsoka will be like when we get there.

TCW's best bet would probably be to rotate through a wide number of characters, like some animes with really big casts do. The flipside to that is it would really drag out. Can't say never get anywhere since it would eventually have to hit ROTS even if it took 14 seasons.

 

The problem with Onderon IMHO was that Saw and Steela were the main characters(Ashoka and Lux being secondary), and they never told us who those two characters really were and why Onderon should matter to us(despite having 4 episodes to explain it). Despite being pretty good, it’s one of the shallowest arcs of the series.

 

Well, they will need to end TCW showing Ahsoka being frozen in carbonite so that she gets unfrozen in the new saga.

 

The background Jedi who could become reoccurring characters are the one established in existing arc. They are mainly Barriss, Plo, Mace, and Yoda. Everyone else is cool but they mainly serve as a fun distraction. Now that we're 5 seasons in we need less distractions and more plot-centric storytelling.

 

I was more ready to go to bat for this show in the first few seasons, because it's not unusual for a show to take a couple seasons to hit its stride. And there are cases of shows that I've actually downright despised early on before they do a complete 180 after several seasons. But after 5 seasons (or in the middle of the 5th anyway) I still feel like the show is fumbling at times. And for every excellent episode, there is a price to be paid with an awful one. S4 was one of the best overall IMO, but with S5 it's been (IMO)

Revival - Good.
Onderon - Terrible
Young Jedi - Good/Decent
Droids -

This current arc so far seems like one big painful distraction from what I want to see. Perhaps Clovis will seem all the sweeter after following in the wake of R2. Juxtapose an ok episode with a crappy one, and it will appear awesome.

 

Next two episodes of current arc are described as more conventional so maybe that'll be a plus.

 

TCW is almost back

 

Like a week and a half?

 

yea,

 

Onderon was awesome. That is all.

 

The Unpopular TCW Opinion thread seems so incomplete all of a sudden..

 

As much as I like Ahsoka, I agree. The whole carbonite thing would be beyond cheap.

 

I hope so. I would like to enjoy something about this droid arc but so far nothing. I'm certain I will love everything else about the rest of the season though.

 

Lets wait an see these next two episodes. For me its Gregor.

 

Gregory gonna be make-or-break for me. If they handle him badly, I'm done with the series.

 

Where have I read this comment before? Oh yes, every single year of TCW. I yawned.

 

LOL, a character gets handled wrong and they stop watching TCW, that is a lame excuse

 

A better excuse is the show is absolute ****, but what do you do?
