Full Series Official "The Clone Wars" Series Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

Am I the only one that likes the Utapau and Bad Batch arcs in animatics?

 

@Vizzy91 - no, I like them too. Especially Utapau. I think they are really funny with all the holes where the necks or armpits are.

 

The prequels will never be removed from canon, so why even bring up such a discussion.

It was never not interesting.

Making a show about the PT will make people forget about the PT? At this point this is just baiting.

"Criticized across the board?" Box office was pretty good and the PT inspired a whole new generation of fans. Hardly what I'd call criticized across the board.

Please stop spouting this untrue opinion as if it were fact.

 

I've said my peace about TCW's importance to the franchise last week up until @Todd the Jedi suggested we move on from the debate.

 

Rank your top 10 favorite TCW voice actors/actresses

 

1. (Do I really need to even mention her name?)
2. Dee Bradley Baker (Clones)
3. James Arnold Taylor (Obi-Wan)
4. Matt Lanter (Matt Lanter)
5. Ian Abercrombie (Palpatine)
6. Jim Cummings (Hondo)
7. Corey Booker (Dooku)
8. Tom Kane (Yoda/narrarator)
9. Catherine Taber (Padme)
10. Terence C. Carson (Mace)

 

Hard for me to rank them all in order but if I had to pick a favourite it would be James Arnold Taylor. His Obi-Wan voice is perfect. In fact whenever I read any PT era books with Kenobi in them I always hear his lines in JAT's voice instead of Ewan's.

Ian Abercrombie's Palpatine was also spot on. RIP. Oh and of course Jim Cummings as Hondo is brilliant too. Such a fun character.

 

Mine is:

1. James Arnold Taylor (Obi-Wan Kenobi and Plo Koon)
2. Sam Witwer (Darth Maul)
3. Dee Bradley Baker (All Clones and Bossk)
4. Ashley Eckstein (Ahsoka Tano)
5. Matt Lanter (Anakin Skywalker)
6. Nika Futterman (Asajj Ventress)
7. Tom Kane (Yoda / Narrator)
8. Corey Burton (Count Dooku / Cad Bane)
9. Catherine Taber (Padme)
10. Terence C. Carson (Mace)
    
11. Ian Abercrombie (Palpatine)
    
12. Jim Cummings (Hondo)
    
13. Anna Graves (Satine Kryze)
14. Matthew Wood (General Grievous / All Battle Droids)

Am I the only one who prefer Cat's performance as Padme in TCW over Portman's performance as Padme?

 

I love Natalie as an actress overall but I always thought there was practically no chemistry between her and Hayden Christensen during the PT. One could easily blame the script that was given to them.

 

While I don't think anything's wrong with the performance of TCW Padme, the voice itself wouldn't be my choice for her. It's too high-pitched and squeaky, IMO.

For TCW, I think Sam Witwer and Nika Futterman are the VAs that stand out most to me. I don't even like TCW-Ventress as a character, but her voice is just so cool.

 

What's not to like about TCW Ventress?

 

Am I the only one that thinks Bo Katan is becoming underrated when it comes to TCW characters? I'm surprised she hasn't gotten that much talked even when she appeared in the season 7 trailer.

 

From what I remember from the Utapau arc it was pretty fun!

 

The best voice acting performance from Matt Lanter and James Arnold Taylor

 

Especially when they discuss the "failure" of Ahsoka's departure... I think it was good balance with the Angry Anakin episodes (Clovis, his fight with Barriss) to show his emotional vulnerability and self -blame. Still the same issue of attachment, but a different result. I think it highlights how the Jedi ideal of loving people as a whole, not as individuals, is so very, very hard.

I also find it interesting that Anakin takes his mind off all this by shooting sentient life forms. From emotional to emotionless...

 

I'm curious to see exactly how Ahsoka first came in contact with Bo-Katan in the first place. Ahsoka really didn't have much to do with Mandalore before or during its takeover by Maul. I'd imagine Obi-Wan may have put in the good word for her.

 

My money is on this guy.

 

Question is if he is still alive and how exactly would Bo contact him again.

 

He's probably in league with Bo Katan now considering they were both related to Satine. That probably marks him for death by Almec and Death Watch. He would likely seek Bo Katan's protection rather than going into exile or taking unilateral action.
If you're overthrowing a Royal system, you want to get rid of the entire Royal family so they can't stake a claim for rule. In Rebels, Clan Kryze rises against The Empire after Gar Saxon is killed and the position of undisputed leadership is left vacated.

 

So basically Ahsoka meets Bo in the underworld and tries to attack Bo but then Korkie comes to calm the situation as he knows both Ahsoka and Bo.

 

Well, this chat is stale. Does anyone want to revive this chat?

 

Why would Ahsoka immediately attack Bo anyway? It's possible Obi-wan could've put out the good word on Bo in advance.

 

There isn't that much of a time pass between Lawless episode and the temple bombing.
