So, the new season is supposed to have Clone Commandos. I really hope it's Delta Squad.
Darth Bombshell wrote:It's pretty much the low point of Star Wars, and considering this is the franchise that consists of three good movies, one not so good movie, three crap movies (one that actually isn't a movie at all) and hasn't published a decent prose fiction novel since round about the tail end of 2005, that's really saying something.
I read somewhere about how "respectful" the creators are with regard to SW canon. I have "respectful" in quotation marks because anyone who watches the series and is well versed in the canon of SW can see how "respectful" it is. (They changed the fact that Ryloth has no planetary rotation, the fact that Darth Maul has a brother apparently, the Mandalore trilogy, etc.)
Worst of all is Ahsoka. The whole prequel literature done while the prequels were being made has it incredibly crystal clear that Anakin Skywalker did NOT have a Padawn at all during the Clone Wars. The fact that the creators of the show decided to give him one shows you how much they care about canon. It's not exatly helped that she's an obvious Mary Sue kid character, designed to appeal to those under the age of twelve and nothing more. Any other sort of show in which such a character existed would have been cancelled within three episodes.

Shadowman wrote:One of whom is George Lucas, (Actually Wookieepedia lists him as the only creator) who is allowed to retcon anything he wants since it's his universe and we're all just guests. Every major character is run by him first, and he even personally designed the Darksaber.
Shadowman wrote:That said, these "continuity issues" convinced Karen Traviss to stop making Star Wars fiction, so all of these arguably gray clouds have an undeniably silver lining.
ChrisRiss wrote:The thing that bugs me about her though, is that she is too perfect at things.
ChrisRiss wrote:She has single-handedly taken on both Grievous and Asajj. When someone gives either Obi-Wan or Anakin trouble, but this little padawan can take them on, that is just wrong to me. I might be mistaken by this, but I thought I remembered her fighting both of them on separate occasions.
ChrisRiss wrote:She bugs me not for the fact that she is an apprentice to Anakin, I can give them that, because as a show, they needed someone that the younger audience could relate to. Alot of us older people cannot see this, and we just want the action that something like this or Transformers can give us, but for storytelling purposes, especially for the younger audiences that they are trying to reach, they do need a character like this.
Aluus wrote:the problem with the clone wars is that it's creating too many loose ends IF it's supposed to tie in with the movies. I mean... wtf happened to Ahsoka? She's not in the films. I can't see them killing her at the end of the series. I'll agree though. it's annoying to see her, a PADAWAN take on apponents who give skywalker and kenobi issues. I mean hell, if she's holding her own that young, full grown she should be like a deus ex machina who personally saves the whole universe. I still stand by my earlier statement though. All this would be fine if they'd just go ahead and make this an alternate universe. If i recall correctly, during the teaser previews for this season they had yoda hinting at the "infinite possibilities of war" or something along those lines, like i might get my wish. I don't see it happening though.

Only she ends up being one of the hunted Jedi and is killed by Darth Vader during the time period bewteen Episodes 3 and 4. It would actually work as it would show just how ruthless Anakin would become.
Roadbuster wrote:I've missed out some, but has Anakin had any interaction with Grievous in this series? or have they been pretty good at keeping it so they never meet face to face until episode 3?

We're not "nerdraging," there is no deconstruction, there is only her writing the Mandalorians as an Army of Mary Sues, and writing the Jedi as a bunch of nasty slave drivers. (Ignoring that Jedi showed more respect for the Clones than the Clones did) Not to mention killing Mara Jade in the most humiliating way possible even though it wasn't place to do that, (It was Timothy Zahn's character, and he still wanted to use her, he wasn't even told she was going to be killed) and how she's so adamant that there are only 3 million clones despite the fact that that's such a small number. (The US military currently has around 2.5 million personnel)
In short, Traviss leaving Star Wars fiction is the best thing to happen to SW since Empire Strikes Back.
