JCC Embrace The FU - Formerly the STAR WARS IS BAD thread

You are correct.

 

I was watching the show for a long time already before I watched the actual movie (which should never have been released to theatres). It's not really that essential.

I struggle to remember much about it except for that arc where they have to rescue Tarkin because plot. Otherwise, a few cool moments but characters I'd long since given up caring about in any meaningful way.

Rebels, OTOH...

 

There's a lot of good stuff in The Clone Wars. The Mortis arc, the Umbara arc, Darth Maul, Cad Bane, Hondo. I've not watched all of it (got halfway through season five and stopped, but not sure why) but I'd say there's more good than bad. The more childish stuff, though understandable, is not great. You can skip pretty much any episode centred on the droids and be all the better for it.

 

The first few episodes of Season 1 of Clone Wars should have been the movie. And the movie should have been left on the floor.

 

I'm a big fan of the Mandalorian episodes because they were creative, played against expectations, added a lot to the extremely aseptic Clone Wars from the PT, and made many militaristic EU fans angry and that can't be a bad thing.

 

I also want to point out that Sabine is a talented and expressive artist, an honourable defender of virtue, and a positive role model for the young boys and girls who watch the show.

Jabba-wocky I know you agree that Sabine is the most worthy.

EDIT: Yes! JoinTheSchwarz the Mando fanboy (sorry to use that derogatory term) rage was so marvellous when the silly K'aren Tr'aviss culture was abandoned wholesale. It is up there with being upset at 3,000,000 clones and missing the terrible old EU.

 

Nope, series only.

Yeah, Netflix Australia is nowhere near the library that America has. Adding to that, Australia has very strict broadcasting laws (which I argue as being anti-competitive). For example: i'm pretty sure Netflix USA has everything Star Trek on it? Australian Netflix has not got one iota of Trek. Nothing at all. I believe it has something to do with Foxtel (Australian pay TV service) holding the rights to it. As a result, Netflix Australia is not showing any of the following:

- Sherlock

- Breaking Bad

- The X Files

- Sons of Anarchy

- Archer

Plus a whole host of other stuff. If you really want an idea: http://www.finder.com.au/netflix-australia-vs-netflix-us-tv-shows

Strangely though we have Doctor Who series 1-7, 8 is coming in August.

 

And they wonder why Australians torrent.

 

Anyone would wonder why you all torrent with those zany bandwidth caps.

 

We have terrible internet and terrible TV rights. It's lucky we have wildlife to fight or trouble would ensue.

 

We're a slowly evolving breed. I think we're approaching our third anniversary of R rated games. Yeah, GTA V was the first ever GTA since GTA 2 that was released without needing to have its content modified by the developers.

 

The Untravissing was glorious and not one day too soon. I also agree that the Bounty episode was good. Wasn't that written by Lucas' daughter?

 

Netflix USA is currently mostly made of serious documentary series like Extreme Bayou Boa Hunters, Redneck Teenage Spinters, Extreme Survivalism or Gas Chuggin' Trucks. Tell me you get those.

 

Netflix UK is also fairly crappy. Nothing Star Wars related at all, not even any Star Trek bar four movies (Into Darkness, Generations, First Contact and Insurrection). I don't actually know why I'm still subscribed...

 

Bounty was actually the episode I randomly watched that made me give the series a chance on Netflix.

 

I love Netflix for what I do watch at the moment, but I question how much further it can expand without there being blood in the courtroom.

I'm only one month in but so far Daredevil and House Of Cards (the Spacey administration) are selling the product quite nicely. Plus i've already watched around a dozen movies that i've always wanted to see but never got around to watching. I plan on trying Orange Is The New Black and Brooklyn Nine-Nine once i'm done with Cards. So I at least have a good three months of life in Netflix yet.

 

You forgot Aliens Control the Government: Exposed.

 

Say what you will about Netflix streaming's problems (terrible UI and worse since the recent update, lack of big U.S. movies, constantly expiring titles, many mediocre-to-bad originals), but its selection of documentaries is actually amazing. I used the "not interested" button quite liberally to avoid all the ****. I think that's why they got rid of it for streaming; but I also have a disc subscription, so joke's on them!

 

And buried under the weight of tons of Discovery MAX and SyFy crap.
