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

I agree that this chapter was terrible, do they remember they are into Star Wars and not Aquaman and those Superheroes...

Kit and the rest of the gang look so fantasious that you can't wait to finish the chapter.

I hope they could land the story in a more Star Wars related themes...

Clones underwater look silly and just like the extension G.I. Joe's figures on toy stores...

 

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!

You're forgetting that this series is called CLONE WARS. That's there for a reason, this series is about the Clone Wars, not just about the Battle of Muunilist, which is where the other ones take place. So it is not unrelated to the Clone Wars, just to the Battle of Muunilist.
Over the entire series, this is a story, one with a lot of action in it. To get the entire story of the clone wars, you have to read the comics, books, play the video games and get all the action figures...

 

I agree, this one was the worst so far. They made him to much of a super hero. And it was way to unbelivable even for science fiction. Like when the ship fell down the hole underwater and blew up? What the hell was that! What was that force bubble he threw, just air? Yet it punctured through a huge metal war machine. Too far fetched.

I know a lot of us wanted ti see him in action, but they overdid it.

 

did anyone notice the ying yang sign on his belt?? And how could the battle driods be under water?? 1. Wouldent they rust? 2.Wouldent they like...blow up under water because they are machines?? 3.Wouldent they short curcit and blow up?? 4. How could there guns fire UNDER water??? wouldent it jam?
1- Not all metals rust. Iron rusts because it is in the presence of oxygen, which is highly corrosive (yes, even to humans) Thus, the droids are made of different types of strong alloys.
2 & 3 - Things can be waterproofed. The droids don't have all their insides exposed, and while they might short circuit, they wouldn't explode.
4- The guns don't have bullets, they can't jam. They're probably designed to be waterproof.


Did band of brothers have a plot? Not really. It was a bunch of guys fighting and dying in war. It was not super complex. You watched it for the cool "charaters" (yes I know they were real people) and action. Perhapes some history as well, but it wasn't that deep beyond it's conception.

Clone Wars is the same way.

Band of Brothers didn't really have a 'plot' because it was a true story. However, if it did have one, it would be the story of those men who did fight in WWII.

 

Now my review...

Overall, a pretty good episode, better than episode 4. The Underwater battle was pretty cool, but there was limited clone trooper action under there. There was some great scenes, such as all the scenery and expecially all the scenes in the republic cruisers...

 

Did anyone besides me expect to see Aquaman at any moment?

 

Who?

 

Yes, Aquaman, and the Wonder Twins.

With their Wonder Twin Powers they would have formed a death star trash compactor monster and an ice speeder.

Worst Episode Ever!

 

Relax, we've got another 15 more episodes to go. As far as I'm concerned, 4 is the worst thus far, but that's 'cause I love clone troopers...

 

The Wonder Twins! LOL

 

I'm confused.

Who here is so confused as to have no idea what compressed air can do. Lets not forget they're near the sea floor of a Water planets. I have no trouble believing a ball of compressed air could rip through metal

Even better, if it were compressed water. Hell they use compressed water to cut through metals.

 

I liked 4, the good guys can't always win, that would be no fun.

Are they the good guys????

Anyway, Episodes 2-4 kicked major butt. With 3 being the best so far.

 

I liked your Icon, now I am a clone of you!

 

You realize you're talking to yourself?

 

Very VERY good.
I loved this chapter . It was the first since Chapter 1 that I've been waiting, watching all those appalling adverts, to see the next repeat (OK, I've not seen Chapter 3, I'll have to catch that Sunday - can you believe it? 6+ repeats & I miss them all . I'm going off subject here...)

Anyway...
The lightsaber - I understood that Obi-Wan's had a flaw, that's why it shorted out, his Ep II lightsaber coped OK on Kamino bcos it was better constructed.
And maybe, as an underwater dweller, Kit Fisto had made his specially to work underwater?

The force bubble - either water of some form or vacuum? Although I can accept that he could have separated out the hydrogen & oxygen, I don't see any particular reason for it to be an Oxygen bubble.

 

Ive loved every episode so far, totally fantastic.


Im not a huge fanboy, so I have a kinda dumb question. The banner above shows 3 red lightsabers, obviously one is Dooku's, who are wielding the other 2? Thanks

 

Will the episodes explain how she came to use Lightsabers, or should I go to another source for an explanation?

 

"Band of Brothers didn't really have a 'plot' because it was a true story."

That's my point. Band of Brothers was fantastic and it didn't have a plot. Why should Clone Wars be any different?

 

About Kit Fisto's lightsabre, I've read somewhere that he uses some kind of crystal that makes his lightsabre work underwater.
An explanation that leaves me satisfied, no need to dwell on that.

 

Yes, I believe it was in the Hyperspace webchat: Kit Fisto uses a saber with TWO crystals which rapidly alternate ignition, which is why it works fine underwater. Or something.

I'm guessing that's why Kit's saber looked thicker than usual.

 

Even better, if it were compressed water. Hell they use compressed water to cut through metals.

You can't compress water. It's impossible.
