Animated Shorts Official Discussion - Clone Wars: Chapter 5 (Swimming with Kit Fisto) [spoilers]

Well, that was SOMETHING.

It was the first cartoon I've seen. I'm not physically able to watch all of them... I have a class that starts Wednesdays at 8 ET and one on Tuesday that ends at 8 ET... so I've just been really curious, though I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. I was actually disappointed not to be able to see Yoda or Obi-wan or Dooku, but the drawing isn't bad, and the sound effects are DEAD-ON.

I really was impressed with how much they could do without dialogue, though I do admit some speech would have been nice.

I guess I'll just have to watch the marathon next Friday, since I haven't subscribed to Hyperspace and the non-Hyperspace downloads look like crap.... unless someone would like to give me the rundown on the first four?

 

Check the other official threads... there, your answers lie.

 

Wow this episode was really bad compared to the first four, all of which I loved. The only thing I liked in this episode was the Quarren crab-cannon vehicle

Plus, I don't like Kit Fisto and his stupid grin I hope he dies as soon as possible

 

First, 1010101, thank you for destroying my innocence... (Good God, I'm laughing so hard I have to back space every other key!)... that is just....


wrong...




*deep breath as I laugh somemore...*

Yeah.. now what were we discussing?

Kit Fisto and his mentos smile...

 

Todays episode was awesome, he got to see some more Kt Fisto, sweet. Seemed to be longer than the rest. These episodes are getting better and better as mentioned above. The next one shall be even cooler I cant wait to see it. Star Wars Clone Wars gets 5 stars from me, fun mini series.

 

Had to watch it on Hyperspace because the windstorm knocked down the power lines at 7:20 and I didn't get power back till 10:30 or so. Like someone else here I'll have to wait for the marathon next Friday so I can record everything at once. Anyway...

Definitely one cool episode. Considering his amphibious origins I'm not surprised he used the Force to manipulate water. As for that bubble, I thought he drew in the air from the surrounding water and... whoosh!

As for your concerns about the robots rusting, either the alloys are waterproof or they've been given a waterproof sealant.

As good as it was, I can see thing that could have made it better. Kit Fisto working alongside other Jedi - two to be specific: Bant Eerin, his former Mon Calamari padawan, and his "close" friend Aayla Secura.

 

It really did seem like an episode of the Super Friends or the X-Presidents but I still liked it.


And, yes, that would've been great to have Bant in it.

 

I must say, this episode was fast, but very enjoyable.

 

People complaining about dialogue and physics in a cartoon!!!!! And a Star Wars cartoon at that, a series well known for spot on physics and great dialogue!!!!

Some of you make me laugh, can you not watch anything for entertainment value, and not have to bring dialouge and physics into it.

 

Cool episode! (and I thought the same thing 101010, lol)

I loved Kit fighting underwater and the beast the Calimari road were cool too. But a force bubble that tears through ships? That seemed to me to be stretching it even for a SW cartoon but *shrugs*.

sg

 

I saw Chapter 5 today and WOW. Kit Fisto is really good. Interesting to see an under-water lightsaber battle. Nice to see the Mon Calamari again and all the Quarrens cool technology I liked that crab-like cannon

That bubble Kit through was interesting. New Force Power?

 

Kit Fisto fighting underwater was great and the Calimari swimming in like the calvary were cool too. The idea a force bubble that tears through ships was a bit of a surprise. Once again, I was hoping for a bit more of time spent on this. Looks like the next chapter goes in a whole different direction.

 

Good on ya with the Mentos reference. I WAS expecting him to bust out a pack and hold it out to the Quarren and have them all shrug...

"It's okay that he destroyed us, he was using Mentos -- the freshmaker."

And Kit Fisto? He ROX!!!

 

Kit Fitso whopped Quarren and Droid Butt!

 

As for generating an air bubble...

Jedi techniques include taking a bottle of oblique design and removing, using the Force, all air molecules from the bottle, effectively creating a vacuum. They also include techniques for allowing fine-tuned control down to the molecule level.

So the fact that Kit Fisto can seperate water into component oxygen and hydrogen, and create an air bubble with the oxygen is NOT in the least bit surprising to me...

 

Kit Fisto Rules! Now that my friends is a Jedi Knight.

And you gotta love the Force Bubble!


Asajj Ventress, come on down!

 

That Force Bubble was very unexpected.

I thought he was gonna use a lightsaber

I was alittle confused about the whole underwater lightsaber too, but who knows. But I did notice something sort of funny near the end of the toon. After fisto disables the large underwater gun/ship, many mon cals wiggle up to it and look like they attach to it.....If no one gets what Im gettin at, it looked like an educational film, you know the ones when they explain how babies are born...

 

Thought this chapter was awesome! I do not have any favorites. They are like having kids. I love them all unconditionally! Can not wait for tonights. Some Sith action!!!

 

Just seen it.

Wow, just wow. Definitely the best episode so far

Master Fisto didn't let me down as usual, really kicked butt as did those aquatroopers.

Just loved the way he destroyed the droid fighters and used the Force to destroy that cannon fantastic!

Damn shame that'll probably be the last time we see him in the Cartoons.

Oh and that characteristic Kit Fisto smile

Super cool touch.

 

justin_sith, couldn't agree with you more. And to the point that GL & Co pay attention to physics, yes, they do, but still, can people run at superspeed (TPM)? Move a pear across the room? Become one with the Force? Lift an x-wing out of the swamp by thinking about it? shoot controled lightning from their fingers?

no, not physically possible....

 

This was a TERRIBLE episode! Not only did it break the continuity from the last one, it was COMPLETELY UNRELATED! These cartoons, not the Prequel movies, are increasingly giving merit to critisms that Star Wars is all action and no story!

 

This was my least favorite episode so far, BUT not meaning that it was bad.
I'm no big fan of Kit Fisto. He was somewhat amusing in AOTC, but still... Kit's Force Vortex (or what you should call it) was cool.
Mon Calamari looked great! I guess this will be our only look at this interesting planet...

I hope the next episode brings us back to Muunilinst...
