Remember that Cartoon Network will be showing this episode WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 4TH and the regular Friday slot!


We're guessing it's because of the Tuesday release of the S1 DVD.


EDIT: Also supremely bizarre no mention of Barris?

 

Hehe, you got all dressed up and they don't mention Barriss... I guess she'll only appear in the following episode.

In the other thread people were talking about this new Commander Jet. First of all I have nothing against the name, sounds like a perfectly normal clone nickname. Second, why not use Baccara? Well, my guess is that Jet won't have a long and happy career.

 

Filoni said on the Forcecast that this episode is the reverse of Senate Spy - all action and almost no dialogue, the biggest battle of the clone wars ever shown.

 

The latest Forcecast? I don't recall it...

 

Bring it on!

 

I'd just like to crosspost my opinions on the new Clone officer.

1) Worst Clone nickname yet. I'll be surprised if we don't have a shot of Rex and Cody laughing at this guy behind his back.

2) He's probably that clone we see talking to Ki-Adi-Mundi, the one with the yellow paint and the vaguely Bacara-ish helmet.

3) If they're going to give Ki-Adi-Mundi a commander, why the **** is it not Bacara?

 

Hmm, seems tiresome but fun.

 

How tiresome?

 

?

 

Extremely.

And as for CC-1138/Bacara not appearing with Ki-Adi-Mundi, I wonder why. What is this "Jet" clone.

 

I hate how they are putting another big battle on Geonosis! Have a little imagination! Try a new planet like Ithor, Glee Anselm, Dorin, or even Dagobah. I know Dagobah has no importance but its possible since Tatooine never really had anything to do with TCW either until the film came out.
Clone Commander Jet: Bring it.
No Bacara: epic fail
Barriss's new design: Huge Epic Fail
Ki-adi Mundi: Sweet!
Galactic Marines: Sick!

This episode has a mix of bad and good.

 

Why?
It's not even a fail for me...

 

Latest Weekly Forcecast from Fan Days Texas. It's near the end of the episode where Dave Filoni drops around and talks about Senate Spy and how it was low action (and inspired by Hitchcock's Notorious) but the next episode was going to be huge and he was afraid that once Lucas saw it he would demand it all the time... it's at 1:38 on the October 27 Forcecast.

 

OK, let me rephrase that... why would you think a big battle episode was tiresome?

 

I don't know if you're familiar with Barriss from the Tarkovsky series and AOTC, but this Barriss is hardly like them. They completely changed the character. It was one thing to turn Grievous into some guy who wanted to be a Jedi, but it is a serious FAIL to change a character in her twenties to around 14 with a lot less expierience. No wonder Hasbro never wanted to remake her figure.

 

I think it's clear at this point that the Tartakovsky series is being taken out of canon and Offee was seen for all of three seconds in AotC, so very little was known about her. It looks like all gloves are off when it comes to rewriting any and all non-G level Canon sources.

 

Not at all, just the cloak from what I can see. I remember her from the Tarkovsky series and it's very similar to TCW.

Look:

Very similar design.

 

Extremely similar design.

We also don't know Barriss' age yet, but she's obviously there to serve as a foil to Ahsoka.

Funny how NONE of the major villains (or any villains) are listed in the main characters: is that a TCW first? So it's all droid destruction, then?

 

How does Barriss look different? Her design looks exactly like the one in GT's CW. And I am pretty sure they are not writing Genndy's CW outta canon since in the Republic Heroes game (which is canon, since it is a tie in between seasons 1 and 2), Fisto mentions that Windu once took out a whole droid army by himself (the battle of Dantooine in the original CW). So, it is staying, I think.

But this episode is gonna be awesome. And it is on two days earlier. Epic...

 

Barriss Offee looks super cool!

I'm looking forward to this episode, though why wasn't Barriss listed in the episode guide?

 

Because shw won't appear on this episode. Maybe on one of the next two episodes...

 

First off Barris looks exactly the same and looks fantastic...plus it was never mentioned which episode she's in,so its probally gonna be the next one after Landing.
2nd im so glad the 2 Brian's did this episode because there other episodes like Trespass and Children of the Jedi are 2 of the best,so im confident this episode will be great.

 

"Believe in yourself or no one else will"

I have been using this expression for a long time (at least 7 years), I wonder where its from?

 

So have we officially been told why this is airing on Wednesday?
