Lit A/V Clone Wars Continuity Discussion (Spoilers Allowed)

Wait, does that mean that the CWAS might simply be a Villie bar-tale?

 

Rogue, you also forgot:

- Needless moving of Rodia to the Outer Rim

- Greedo is now twenty years older than he was before and from Tatooine, not Rodia.

 

If you ignore the episode guide one of those problems is fixed.

 

So it's a Jedi Azkaban? You'd think a Jedi prison might be a tad more serene but this was pretty medieval. This episode made no sense but was actually fun despite that fact. TCW is more and more like those nutty Marvel comics.

 

Source (post at 5:59 pm 2/19/11). Another poster pointed out that moving the comic later requires a further retcon, since the Resolute appears in the comic, but was destroyed in "Nightsisters."

 

It should be the other way around.

 

I've decided that simply ignoring two lines from the episode (Rex: "I've never been carbon frozen before, General." Anakin: "It's the first time for us, too.") is much easier than trying to move Shipyards around. Everything else in the episode actually works if they just don't say those two lines. And, what is more frustrating, those two lines are essentially unnecessary and really only seem to serve the purpose of escalating the pre-mission tension. That could've been done with something like Rex: "You sure about this carbon freezing, General?" Anakin: "I don't like it any more than you do, Rex, but it's worth a shot." I honestly don't see the purpose of establishing that the Citadel mission was the first time the carbonite infiltration gambit was used.

And moving the comic is hindered by direct references to its placement in the timeline (both the narrator and Darth Sidious note that it is early in the war), Ahsoka's outfit and relationship with Anakin (and isn't she the true barometer of timeline placement per Filoni?), and the Resolute's presence.

It's amazing the damage that can be done with just two throw-away lines.

 

That's exactly what I thought too.

 

Honestly external security was pretty good still I expect far more a Jedi Super Max Prison.

 

I think George Lucas borrowed your computer, Gamek.

Does anyone else think the commando droids have been somewhat nerfed since their first appearance?

 

Yeah, besides oddly learning how to be more aerobatic, they seemed less than a threat.

 

Maybe a little. That one took too long to shoot Ahsoka after it had her pinned down. But in "Rookies" Rex and the gang took them out pretty quick. But before that the troopers stationed there got ania- anihia- destroyed. And then there's the fact they had Jedi with them this time.

 

Nerfed? That means depowered, right?

Considering they've failed every mission except "Hostage Crisis", no.

At least they got their licks in this time.

 

Probably because their opponents are more dangerous. they were fighting Rookies in their first appearance.

 

I'm glad a commando droid stopped Ahsoka early, but other than that they just seemed weaker if you compare them to their appearances in Rookies, Liberty on Ryloth, or the Deserter.

 

In "the Deserter" it was two clones against a bunch of the commando droids. In "the Citadel" it's two Jedi, Ahsoka, and at least four clone troopers, two of which are ARC troopers.

 

According to this the Savage Oppress arc will be continued in the last episode of Season 3. Or something.

 

Cast:... Darth Maul...



It will be a great disaster...

 

So ...Darth Maul's return is all an elaborate April Fools joke? Lucas is trolling us.

(I'm dubious about that IMDB article's legitimacy, considering that we already know that 3.22 is called "Wookiee Hunt", the episode featuring Chewbacca...)

 

We're not seeing Savage/Maul again this season? Aww... I was kinda looking forward to that. There's going to be Chewie though? Interesting... I wonder if that means they're resurrecting Lucas's old ROTS notes from when he originally was going to have Han appear as a boy?

Either way, I'm still hoping Savage eventually gets possessed by Maul's spirit, that Anakin chops his legs off, he then gets cybernetics implants, and finally years later attacks Obi-Wan on Tatooine. What can I say? I've always wanted that Visionaries comic to be canon.

 

Why not? It was already referenced in Abel Pena's article "Lord of War."

 

This is an elaborate ploy to get Darth Maul and Chewbacca in the same episode.

Somebody's been reading Hidalgo's Head to Head.

 

Hmm... both? Ooooh. I know. This is where Han first learns to shoot Sith in the back, while Chewie gets to pull the [legs] off a [Zabrak].

Voila. Robo-Maul for Visionaries, courtesy of baby Han and big Chewie.
