    Those jokes are funny but those kind of insults against the director of the show is just plain rude.

    You're right. By itself the show is fine. The blame should go to Lucas.

    They are just that. Jokes. I like the show and Filoni actually seems like a cool guy. I mean Lucas has like zero interaction with the fans save for a surprise appearance at Celebration. Filoni is constantly doing the ForceCasts and is now keeping a blog, answers fan questions through Starwars.com, did episode commentaries, does Q&A chats, etc. He doesn't have to do those. The ForceCasts in particular - I think he said that he had to get permission to go on and talk about the show like he does after previously having just been a listener. Even though I don't agree with everything Filoni does with the show, I've got nothing against him personally. He's a cool dude who goes above and beyond with his fan interactions.

    Spazmatron though I get laughs from it, there's no doubt that blaming Filoni for everything wrong with TCW is either ignorant or intentionally misleading.

    Let's cut the crap. No one really knows who to blame for TCW.
    Was it Lucas for Green lighting it, that continuity guy for letting it overwrite everything, or Filoni for being in charge? All I know is that I(we fans) probably could've written a better show without having to step over already made stories and endings.

    That's exactly why Lucas stepped away from blockbuster films cause of the fans constantly criticizing him on everything

    It seems to me your statement supports my assertion.

    Not exactly. Lucas is in his late 60s, has been doing this for awhile, and I'm pretty sure his skin is thicker than that.

    He has been wanting to move towards smaller films for quite awhile now, and if I were in his shoes, the billion dollars plus that TPM made would speak a hell of a lot louder than any Internet voices "yelling." I can't speak for him but I would be hard pressed to believe that he feels any differently.

    He's retiring because he can. And he's finally at the point where he can pursue his own artistic vision.

    As far as who is to blame for TCW, it's a silly game to play. If we could get a handle on who wrote both aspects, we could play that game better but as it is, putting the blame on the person with the most influence on the project seems logical. Whether that's Lucas or Filoni could be debated I suppose.

    No, this was just his most recent declaration of his desire to move onto smaller projects, something he's been teasing since Indiana Jones 3 came out. It isn't like Lucas hasn't taken the piss out of himself lately either, so I don't take his comment about criticism like he's a broken man. More like self deprecating humor.

    I now feel the show doesn't focus on the war as much as it did back in season 1 and 2. Instead we get charcters like Maul and Vizsla getting more screen time.

    one thing tcw failed with is beast design.

    [​IMG]

    that beast realy looks not very believable to me. Look at those funny big Wings/Hands. It looks like this...

    [​IMG]

    Do you remember that SILLY sorry Zillo beast? What was the third hand on the back? What was it good for? Shaking hands while leaving??

    [​IMG]

    At least modellers should use some bilogic works and study some existing animals before they design such not very realistic beast models.

    I would add this as a failed thing.
