Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Page 3 of 15)

That's tough to have to go alone. I did that with ROTS a lot. It was fun anyway.

And, yeah, Soule would have been a better choice.

You are wrong. Read the Republic Commando series, and then you would see that the clones are just like normal men, except with accelerated aging and no rights. You say they never question their existence? It's a very big deal for them. Several ARC troopers ran away, like Alpha 02, because they didn't trust the Republic. RC Darman said that he thinks about his existence (what will happen after the war, etc) a lot, as much as he thinks about his GIRLFRIEND Etain. Which proves that they DO question their existence, and proves that they do "need women"

Darman's fellow squadmate Atin also has a girlfriend, and so does ARC Captain Ordo. Darman and Atin's other squadmate, Fi, wishes he had one. So clones do like women, as they are just like real men.

Back on topic, I hate Anakin's apprentice. She looks puny and weak, and if she faced a tough situation she would probably fall apart and start crying. I think she will ruin the series for me. At least they have one tough woman in it (Assaj Ventress) Also, Yoda looks stupid, and the SBD's look too different then the movie ones.

Overall, I don't think this movie will be very good.

I agree that Anakins padawan is is a perfect match for him. And trust me, she isn't as weak as she looks. I don't wanna give anything away but she carries her own just fine. Also I too had to go see it alone, my GF didn't wanna go see it with me. Funny story: A little kid there(about 6 or so) was dressed as Vader and this other kid goes thats dumb, Alex Skywalker doesn't even turn into Dark Vader in this one. And the kid dressed as Vader goes "I find your lack of faith disturbing". I almost died laughing.

now that is lols.

The wife and I got to see this, this afternoon.  Not too bad.  I thought the animation looked kind of forced.  Not very fluid when they're doing slow movements, like walking.  I thought the fact the Jet Troopers looked like the ones from the Battlefront game, with the same type of jetpack Jango used in the Geonosis arena.  The nose art on the Gunships was a very nice touch.  I found out that the translation of the guship with the blue Twi'lek in trooper armor on the front, means "Lucky Lekku."  Nice touch.  I never did see the gunship with the Kowokian Monkey on the side, that's on all the toys now.  I must have missed that one. 

Did anyone else notice the cameo of R2-KT (the pink astromech droid)?  I thought that was very considerate to put that in there. 

They finally showed some Commando Scouts (not to be confused with the Clone Commandos).  Very nice.  I believe these are the intelligence units that were trained by the Null ARC's, yes? 

The music was a little different, however, I kind of liked the "desert" type theme music, after they took control of the monastery.  Kind of had that "Blackhawk Down" feeling to it.  Like you know they're about to get jacked up.

Miba, I hear you about Ziro the Hutt talking in Basic.  That was just weird. 

Ventress was really cool.  Too bad they didn't have Durge in there.  Although, since when did Ventress have tattoos on the sides of her mouth?

And by far, my favorite line in the whole movie: 

REX: "Surrender, when we outnumber you?"

Droid: "Outnumber?  Wait a minute....1...2...3...4...5.....KA-BOOM!!!!!!!

Well that just made my day.

I don't know how to do multiple quotes so I hope I make sense with out them.

I'm also unsure what is considered spoilers.... so *WARNING MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS* I'm just going to openly comment.

ZiviReywes.... I agree with the whole television thing. Kids today need something way better than "Hanna Montana". Its so mindless that Im sure it is killing their brain cells, never mind undoing years of woman's lib. The shows you listed were the shows I grew up on. LOVED THEM! They were fun stuff. Shows can be fun with out being mindless. I think that a show very much like the movie would be very nice and fun.

manda'lor1... I disagree with the padawan, but LOVE that story.

Sadriel.....I agree very much with what you say. Almost leaves me nothing new to post. Although I disagree with you on the animation. I didn't find it annoying at all, although i wish they spent more time/ attention to the environments, especially on Tatooine. I actually liked how it wasn't that super perfected style, as to me that takes out some of the fun.

Ventress was the hidden gem of the movie for me. I like the tweeking of her costume. To me a sith BEGS to sexy, and this helps that. I liked her before... now I REALLY like her. Its a shame she's not blonde. And I happen to think she had the best voice and animation on her facial expressions as well.

Now the apprentice ( I can never remember how to spell her dang name)n I wish I could just snipe her now. Yes she can hold her own isn't exactly weak, but she had the worse dialogue, and to me was WHINY. More so than even Luke was. "Skyguy" give me a break. I could rant about things I didn't like about her for some time. I stand by my earlier comments that she needs to die. Painfully if possible.

Overall, The Clone Wars wasn't all that bad. It could have been way worse, but it also could have been better. Some parts were completely unnecessary. Zero... Padame...needless. Some plot points were wrong though. Jedi are CHOSEN to be padawans BEFORE their 13th birthday.  Action was nice, although they made the Jedi too god like to me. (This coming from a big Jedi fan.) I liked having Ploo Koon, Kit Fisto and Luminara involved. Yes it sounds like I am complaining a lot, but I did like it. The huttling was less annoying than I thought. It was fun and fluffy. I like how there is a lot of action. If only Ashoka (w/e) didn't talk so much.......

Maybe I'll see it on DVD, but I doubt in theaters. Besides business, movies are REALLY expensive, my family wouldn't be interested, and and can't drive myself yet. If there were commando's though.....I'd totally be there.

I agree with you on the "Skyguy" name. Ugh...

*Spoilers*
Well, I saw it last Friday, expecting a darker, more serious and epic film, similar to the old cartoons. What I got was a lighthearted Saturday morning cartoon with unoriginal one-liners sprinkled throughout a little too often. The droids were the epitome of incompetence and idiocy (droids would never forget coordinates spoken to them 1 second ago, they are machines), while the villains waited just long enough to strike for the heroes' friends to arrive. It was cute, cliche, and the storyline was unnecessary to the canon. "The Republic must gain the criminal underworld's permission to access outer rim trading routes!". No. The Republic should be eliminating the underworld, not helping it and asking their permission. Pointless. As soon as I heard the word "Bounty hunters", I did not get up to refill my drink as planned, because I did not want to miss any Boba Fett scenes. None came. And I was thirsty. All in all, if you are over 12 and if you care about sticking to any shreds of realism Star Wars has left (You would never see Anakin sneaking past an entire droid army by hiding in a box in the real movies), don't watch this. Otherwise, it is a great kid's movie. (Don't even get me started on Zero the Hutt or whatever it's name is)

(edit: annoying: Ashoka. dissapointing: no Commandos.)

good point, as Boba didn't really start to work for Jabba for about another 3-4 years.
