Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

I know there are some Star Wars fanatics here in the Asylum. Any fans of the Clone Wars CGI show on Cartoon Network? New episode begins tonight at 9pm.
I love this show!

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

man, i've been so scared of watching this show for fears of it destroying all star wars. Is it really that good?

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

I'm a big Star Wars fan but have not seen the Clone Wars Series for the same reason as Dooge.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

It's tolerable. A little too "kiddie" for me, and not a big fan of the animation style. Do like the stories though, keep it on DVR to watch.

Although last weeks Jar-Jar focused episode was brutal to watch.

And yes, I was 11 when the original came out and saw it three times in July '77. yeah, I'm old...get off my lawn.:ss

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

Tack me on 3rd of wanting to see it but worried it'll be a let down.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

I watch it every week!!! Go figure!!!:rolleyes:





BTW - I wanted to start this thread but was afraid I would be kicked off the board!!!:D

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

I wondered how long it would be before you put down your millemium falcon miniature and looked at the board.;)

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

i have seen them all. two weeks ago with jarjar was a dissappointment, but i have enjoyed the rest of them

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

I'm a huge Stars Wars fan, but I heard bad things about the movie (it's already out on DVD and BR - not a good sign) and am afraid to watch the series for the same reasons stated above.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

No, i've not seen it. I love me some Star Wars, but after the abomination of the Clone Wars movie (that Asoka character is worse than Jar Jar imho) I refuse to watch.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

The soundtrack to the movie is a big letdown. No John Williams stuff in it.
As for Asoka, I'm not a big fan either. But she was created to a target audience of the age of 8yrs old and below. I can tolerate Asoka, but the rest of the show is great. Fight scenes are pretty good, and the detail in the backgrounds are well done too.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

As was Jar Jar. Although at least Jar Jar was annoying in his own unique way. Asoka is pretty much an Anakin clone, only much more annoying. And from the previews i've seen she's in alot of the show so i'll pass I think.

I'm not a fan of the animation style either to be honest. Too blocky and stiff, the lightsaber duels don't look very good at all. Why they didn't just bring back Gendy Tartovsky and let him do more Clone Wars shorts is beyond me. I swear, those were better than any of the newer movies lol.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

:tpd: Those were most excellent! Samurai Jack too! Gendy and his crew did some great work!

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

same with me. If you guys want some real good star wars entertainment there are a lot of awesome books to read that are all authorized by Lucas

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

Ooh. That's the way to go. I'm going to find some.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

Karen Travis has done some good work lately. As I mentioned above, the Clone Wars shorts from a few years back are well worth a look if your a fan!

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

i have read quite a few. the Republic Commando books are great. I am in the middle of reading Death Star right now.

but last nights clone wars was the best of the series so far IMO.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

Yep, I like the Republic Commando series. That's Karen Travis at her best! Death Star was pretty good, different perspective on the whole planet killing space station thing. Unique book. I'd also recommend the the two Darth Bane books, excellent reading for sure!

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

What's Death Star about? (other than the Death Star, I'm not that ignorant).
Don't spoil it for me, but does it involve well-known characters?

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

If you really want me to destroy Star Wars for you, look up the Star Wars christmas special.

Here it is:

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

No. It tells the story of a couple of different normal people that work on board it.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

Kind of like the discussion on Clerks, huh?

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

Dunno, I hate Kevin Smith, never watched Clerks.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

Heres a great list of the books. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Star_Wars_books

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

The conversation was about the contract workers who helped build the Death Star.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

read a lot of the books and I thought they were awesome.

Best one so far are the Darth bane books by Drew Karpyshyn. Very well written and a lot of up tempo story line.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

The best books for me were the old Timothy Zahn trilogy. They came out in the mid 90s I beleive. Read them when I was back in school.
Rouge Squadron series books that I've read are ok.
Labryinth of Evil and Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader were good ones. (Luceno authored both)

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

oh yeah TImothy Zahn books were good.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

the darth bane books were good. the second one felt like it was rush in it writing though.

i just started death star so don't spoil anything. it's taken me this long as it just came out in paperback. lol

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

yeah, the second was rushed imo. I think he admitted this somewhere but the 3rd book will be out in 2010

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

W/o spoiling anything from the book, what's the scoop on Darth Bane? I'm somewhat familiar w/ the character, but not much. Isn't he original Sith?

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

No, he's the guy who started the rule of two. Before that the Sith were an organization just like the Jedi.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

i hadn't heard about a third bane book coming out. thanks for the heads up

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

I didn't know about the second Darth Bane book! I read the first and enjoyed it!!! Looking for the second to read over winter break!!!

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

I love it but I'm a child at heart.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

I'm just a star wars dork. :D

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

I watch it every week. I think it is pretty good!

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

You are amongst friends..dork away!!

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

well, i did post my guns in the gun thread. but i wanted to wait and post my hardcore weapons here. :D

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

hey I have one of those:ss

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

I got the one on the right. Anakin lightsaber. Cool pic. I hear they have a Luke Skywalker ROTJ one and a Darth Maul one, but I have seen neither.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

I've seen the Maul saber. Oh man, I want one!!

My son has about 6 of the plastic light up and sound light sabers. We have a lot of fun w/ them. I've received a lot of bruises from them too!:(

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

thanks skywalker, might give that a shot tonight. We'll see though

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

I watched the old school Gendy Clone Wars cartoon this week. I must say that I liked his silent clone troopers much better. Loved the hand signals. Badass compared to the troopers in the new version.

Re: Star Wars Clone Wars Series
 

funny you say that as the clone trooper suits are sound proof and they can talk to one another on their comes without anyone hearing them. So, I ask. Why would they need to use hand signals????:D
