Anyone Sick of The Clone Wars Already?

I am just saying this as we already had a TV show about the Clone Wars aka the show named Clone Wars that followed the Jedi and Palp, what is there left to show?

I rather all this special 3d work on a totally new era not an era that has been already covered.

Comments?

 

I would rather have the 3D Animation TV Show to be set in another era also but the Clone Wars were 3 years so there were a lot of characters not covered and there are many more stories to tell. We'll probably get to learn more about certain Jedi and charcters. The Clone Wars Cartoons were really short so they will also probably go more in depth in stories and battles. There are also many Jedi that we didn't get to learn about and get to learn more about others.

 

It seems wierd to go back in time from Episode 3, so I hope the show feels somewhat unfamiliar by focusing on minor characters/new ones instead.

 

It was a detailed look into The Clone Wars , I felt that it was a great addition inbetween .

 

What could they possibly show that doesnt seem like a repeat?

 

It was a three year war there are still many stories left untold and many characters we didn't get to learn about and others we didn't get to learn enough about and I do agree with you I would rather see the 3D Animated TV series but this is fine for now and GL must have a reason for going back to the Clone Wars and maybe GL first wants to test the 3D Animation on the Clone Wars and if it works well and is successful they may continue to make Star Wars 3D Animated Series exploring other eras. I've also heard Lucas Animation may start making 3D Animated Movies and I think also regular Animated Movies but I'm not quite sure about those but the Movies would not nessacarily and probably are not going to be Star Wars Animated Movies.

 

I'm so glad that I'm not alone in this feeling. Clone Wars was fun while it lasted, now it's time to move on.

And before Revan answers: yes, I know the Clone Wars spanned three years (which seemed a ridiculously short time to me for having a galaxy-wide war, but whatever). But already, the Clone Wars multimedia project has spanned over three years. There's been two movies, a three-season show, ten video games, and dozens of books and comic series each, all devoted solely to the Clone Wars.

Considering the ratio of amount of material to length of timeframe, I think it's easily the most saturated period of Star Wars history.

 

Yes I do agree with you but as I said before maybe GL wants to test the 3D Animation on the Clone Wars because there are so many stories he can use in the show so it would be easier since he doesn't have to come up with a new story. Also how many Casual Star Wars fans watched the orginnal Clone Wars Animated Series maybe GL wants it to appeal to a larger audience. The original Clone Wars didn't get much publicity and I'm guessing this one will get more so that should help in bringing in higher ratings. GL probably has some reason he wants to go back to the Clone Wars and probably if the Clone Wars 3D Animated Series is successful Lucas Animation may continue to make Star Wars 3D Animated Series set in different eras. I also think a lot of people didn't watch the original Clone Wars Animated Series was because most of the episodes were 3 minutes and the others were I think 12 or 15 minutes. I do think the original Clone Wars Animated Mini-Series is great though. The Clone Wars 3D Animated Series is going to have full length 30 minute episodes. I also think that the 3D will make the battles and lightsaber duels look way better than before and the Clone Wars is a time of many battles and lightsaber duels. I thnk it may look like Final Fantasy VII:Advent Children the movie with a less Anime look to it and if it looks as good as Advent Children then the lightsaber duels and the battles will probably look fantastic. Just to make this clear I would rather see a Star Wars 3D Animated Series set in a another era also.

 

Here's the trailer for Final Fantasy VII:Advent Children. After you see it imagine how good the Clone Wars 3D Animated Series would look if they used this kind of 3D Animation to me it matches the description by Steve Sansweet almost perfectly.

I quite agree that the graphics will be phenomenal, especially for a show. But (at least, I assume from what I hear) Genndy Tartovsky's not going to be involved this time, and Lucas will be taking his place (hmm...jealous, I wonder?). I simply don't think the plot or scripts will match up.

Just one example of what I mean: In Clone Wars, GT had the clone troopers imitate the real-life tactics and movements of soldiers. In ROTS, GL just had the clone troopers stand still in a line and shoot. I have a nagging suspicion that this 3D Clone Wars will once more go show that GL values style over substance. This is also my main worry about the live-action show, incidentally.

 

Hmm. Well, George Lucas not being there is a plus, at least. However, of those names, the only one I recognize is Catherine Winder, and that doesn't give me a good vibe. But, oh well, I'll still watch it anyways.

 

Well I think we should watch the Clone Wars 3D Animated Series before we judge the Show as a whole and the cast and crew. I'm almost sure this is going to be very high quality TV Series as is most things Lucasfilms and its divisions produce. I'm always expecting very high quality products from Lucasfilms and its divisions and they hardly ever fail in not meeting my expectations.

 

In all honesty, I'd love to see more Clone Wars.... But I'd like to see KOTOR more

 

I know what you mean, but some of the more cynical posters around here might exlpoit that double negative

{||||| ?||} -----------------------------

 

I understand what you mean but in the show we will see the same droids and machines that we already have seen.

And of course it will have a huge improvement in quality as its in CG/3D graphics but I would really like to see some originality in the show.

Strange decision making to go back to an old era when its been already covered.

As you said above its been covered by the Clone Wars TV Show, Republic comics, all the novels, etc

Hmmm

Unless the graphics and the storytelling is amazing, I really dont see how Non-Star Wars fans will really apprecaite this since people will keep bringing up the fact that its connected with the prequels and such.

If they created a new era within the Star Wars universe it would bring in all the Star Wars fans and alot of non-starwars fans since they can actually be cliffhangers, revelations, etc within the new characters, and originality.

People could just say I have already seen this before its just in a different medium.

 

True, but you understand what I mean in that non-starwars fans might feel whats the point of watching as I have already experienced it through the movies, clonewars tv show, games, etc?

 

How many casual Star Wars fans and non-Casual Star Wars fans do you think have actually seen the original Clone Wars Animated Series and read the books the Clone Wars 3D Animated Series is probaably going to be way more mainstream and as I said GL must have some reason for going back to the Clone Wars. Read my last few previous posts I think I give good reasons and explanations.

 

I am just saying, the person doesnt have to have read all of them or played all of them, hmm

 

I'm just saying how many Casual Star Wars fans and non Star Wars fans do you think have read, watched, or played anythng on the Clone Wars. I don't think that many. Maybe some of them only read, watched, or played something on the Clone Wars once or a few times. To me the Clone Wars 3D Animated Series will be a lot more mainstream and will get a lot better ratings and publicity. The fact that the Clone Wars 3D Animated Series is going to be full length 30 minute episodes will help also. Also to help make it more mainstream and to bring in better ratings and publicity put it on a non-cable channel like Fox,NBC,etc. It's not like the non-cable channel would be making the Clone Wars 3D Animated Series Lucasfilms new division Lucas Animation would be doing that. But if it were on a cable channel like Cartoon Network or Sci Fi Channel that would be fine too but the Clone Wars 3D Animated Series wouldprobably not get as good as ratings and publicity and to me it would also make the Clone Wars 3D Animated Series less mainstream. I think the Clone Wars 3D Animated Series will change the way America looks at 3D Animation and Animation in general.

 

The only thing I am got sick of is the unrealistic battles. Honestly, Mace defeats like a thousand droids without his lightsaber. Shaak Ti also takes out like 10 magna gaurds by herself. Besides that, I enjoyed the series.

 

Well, lets look at this point by point. Did anybody think that GL was going to let someone else just come in and steal his thunder? GT did very well with the animation, of course GL is going to want to do his onw stuff through his company. Second point, not everybody reads comic books. Not everybody watched the cartoons or even knew that they played in the cartoon neworks, and not alot of people read the books. Unfortunately, star wars is no Harry Potter.
So yes, a clone wars cartoon series is warranted. Though, I would have liked a cartoon series in the KOTOR era, and those can be done by GT becasue of his over exaggeration.

 

Finally somebody agrees that not a lot of casual Star Wars fans and non-Star Wars fans read the Clone Wars era books, played the Clone Wars games, and watched the original Clone Wars Animated Mini-Series. I would also prefer that the Star Wars 3D Animated Series was set in a different era than the Clone Wars but it's not so I'm going to deal with it and I think the Clone Wars 3D Animated Series is going to look and sound fantastic and also think the Clone Wars 3D Animated Series will change the way America looks at 3D Animation and Animation in general.
