The Clone Wars Returns

Welcome to the forum!
I'm not the biggest fan of the show mostly for the portrayal of Anakin and Padme there but there is some things I like. Ahsoka in the first place. She is the best character there in my opinion and it is a pity we couldn't see her in the live movies.

I don't know about any warm feelings about TROS. But regarding TCW, sadly it doesn't seem that it's going to be completely faithful to the stories and scripts they've created with Lucas, since completely needless and pointless changes have been confirmed. How many of them exist remains to be seen.

What should have been (to me) something to be excited about has unfortunately turned into mild curiosity...

Alessio? Who is he; this man, this Alessio that you speak of? Is he Spanish? Or is he Italian? Does he have grace? Is he a lover or a fighter? What powers does he think he has over you? I don’t think the name rings a bell. Remind me who this “Alessio” is, because I don’t know anyone named him. There could be a million other people with his name and you wouldn’t know which one is which.

No, their portrayal-as couple- is of two teens hanging around carefree as there is no war, secret marriage and so on. Anakin and Padme couldn't act like the couple from just around the corner, for several reasons, their relationship is more like this of Tristan and Isolde. The dramatic, doomed feeling of the live movies is missing. But I had in mind not their relationship but more their characters as a whole. I miss the melancholic, James Dean-y vibe of the live movie Anakin but of course this is animated show and so, couldn't be so dramatic.

Anyway, this thread should be the appreciation, not the critics about TCW, so I have to ask: you have heard leaks that Ahsoka would appear in the Mandalorian?!

Thank you, Arch Duke.

Thank you for, first of all, for coming to my defence, and second: for summing things up correctly and in your typical perspicuous manner.

truestarwarsnerd01 :

I don't really care who you are. I'm not even sure why you tagged me. I didn't call you out or even respond in this thread. I'm only responding now because you tagged me.

I'm not really too interested in "outing" people. That generally isn't my style. Maybe when younger, a bit, but these days, I generally take a "live and let live" philosophy around with me. I don't recall petitioning for you to be banned on Naboo News. In fact, in the past, when you were banned on some of your earlier accounts, the webmaster deleted everything, including my own responses to you -- some of which were long. I wasn't in favour of that. But it's also not my website.

If other people have a problem with you, it might be because you tend to impatiently belittle them and run them down. You ambush and hector them and demand unreasonable things of them, and claim unreasonable things of them, regardless of what they've said or not said to you, and irrespective of how long you've given them to respond or consider how best to reply.

Sort of as you've done in this thread: I wasn't able to put in a reply, till now, as Arch Duke said, because I was busy with other items (going to work, catching up on lost sleep, eating, grooming, cleaning, reading other material, responding to Arch Duke on Naboo News, and working on my own detailed response to something -- a prequel-bashing review that I'm rebutting, and which I'm soon to post to this community). 

People have their own lives. You can't expect an immediate reply on here. If people are able to respond (and willing), then they will. You need to give them time. Moreover, not everyone cares to the same degree about the same stuff. I haven't seen "The Clone Wars", as of this writing, so I can't really comment on TCW material. Plus, as Arch Duke said, if I hover over a TCW thread, I'm at risk of encountering spoiler material. So I have my own reasons for not bothering with such items.

You have your right to your opinions -- opinions are free, after all. However, unwarranted personal attacks are another matter. We can't always be expected to get along with one another, but we should make some basic attempt to try. You won't get very far constantly bitching at others and tearing them down. That will only result in more animosity and more opposition to your presence.

That said, it probably wasn't fair that you were being called out in this thread. I think you're entitled to a fresh start on Naberrie Fields. We try to make this a welcoming place, free of censorship and accusation. But that's also a two-way street. If you want people to take you seriously, you need to treat them seriously -- and respectfully -- in return. 

Good luck with your thread. It is surely an exciting one for TCW addicts. In time, the boards may get more active, and you may get a few more responses. But insults aren't fair; and they certainly aren't friendly. That's not the atmosphere we're trying to create here. If it helps, remember the forum name and pretend you're on Naboo. That's the basic idea.


Thanks. That's a good example of civil disagreement. But as we differ, so shall we stand united -- as prequel fans and fellows of Naberrie Fields. Not, if we can help it, as combatants and enemies. There are other boards that run that way, but they're more like Tatooine. Here, we strive to be a bit more open and accepting. Of course, no-one is perfect. So, please, take heed of Arch Duke's words and my own, Alessio. Consider the basic premise of where you're posting and try to be a little more "Jedi". Thanks.

Does younger mean last year?



I kid I kid!

The fight between Yoda and Sidious in Season 6 was more like a fight that was in their minds.

The last time Anakin and Dooku would’ve met was in The Lost One which would’ve been at the beginning of 19BBY where as Revenge Of the Sith takes place at the end of 19BBY. So, that’s my way of seeing it.

Having The Clone Wars about returning,I seen some coments from different people on twitter or Youtube,reminding me some articles posted some years ago, that make obvious there still are prequel haters among the TCW fans,I'm talking about the people who say things like:

-"TCW redeemed the prequels","TCW fixed the prequels",
-"TCW is the prequel we should have got",
-"TCW is the best Star Wars product since the Original trilogy",
-"Anakin in TCW is a better and more likeable character than Anakin in the PT,they are completely different characters",
-"The prequels are only loved because TCW",
-"the people who worked on TCW should have made the PT".

I love TCW as many of the Star Wars fans,but That kind of comments about trashing the PT to praise TCW are,in my opinion,poisonous,becuase they are turning a series based on the prequel trilogy against its source material,wich is something unacceptable.Because it could make prequel fans get a bit of hate toward TCW,dividing more the fandom.

In my opinion,what they call "fix" I call it "expand",TCW does a good work expanding the themes and concepts that are already in The Prequel Trilogy,without the Prequel Trilogy the Clone wars wouldn't exist,or be like it actually is.

What is your opinion about this subject?

I already loved TPM and AotC, though, as some of you know, I didn't like RotS much for awhile. So the way I describe it is; because TCW was everything I'd imagined in my head growing up in the '80s and so much more, it got me more intrigued and I felt compelled to to look deeper into the nuances of the PT. I mean, as much I liked the PT I couldn't have explained the politics if someone had asked me, for example. And naturally in the process I also grew to understand and love RotS too. TCW was a gateway drug, if you will, to the expansion of my PT/Prequel Era fandom, so yes, expand is a good word.

That said, I grew to appreciate the PT 'so much' (Anakin voice) that I mind-edit Christensen's Anakin over Lantner's when he's on screen, and in my memories of the episodes.

Honestly I was really floored by the series *taps chest with fist. And it was the catalyst that propelled me back into SW full swing, and led me to TFN, and it was conversations with the folks there (most of whom are now here) that got me where I am today.

So, thank you TCW crew, GL and our gang.



Btw, one of the multitude of things I love about the CW micro series is their portrayal of Anakin. It's not the film Anakin exactly, but it's kind of close enough, if you know what I mean.
