mechaninac Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I did like the fact that they ended up exactly where they started as well; it was refreshingly contrary to current year narrative tropes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mog Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Just finished the latest ep. So many feels, so many Easter eggs, so many cameos, so many callbacks (even to Rebels stuff), so many great moments! They absolutely nailed this episode! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangledThorns Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Who knew Ahsoka Tano would turn out to be one of the most interesting characters in the SW universe?! She deserves her own movie. You listening, Disney? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobber Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Yeah this and presumedly part 2 seem VERY cinematic! Going to miss this. I’d love for them to do a retelling of Epsiode 3 in Clone Wars animation....maybe fix a few things while they’re at it. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mog Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I also appreciate that some of the Tartakovsky Clone Wars bits can still be viewed as canon (the little mention of Shaak Ti going to check on the Chancellor but losing contact with her). With all the tie-ins, I’m secretly holding out hope we hear the phrase “This is the way” just once from a Mando. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tking22 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Very epic indeed, it's been a long time coming but the end is finally happening, seeing various characters getting set off to their big Clone Wars movie locations was pretty chilling. That classic Lucasfilm logo was cool as well, definitely presented things as more cinematic imo. I know this is the end and the budget was going to get let loose but damn, the animation quality is absolutely incredible, I'm hard pressed to think of a better looking CG animated series.

Dobber Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 In the deleted and unfinished sequence from Ep 3 Grievous straight up executes her in front of Anakin and Obi Wan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TangledThorns Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Shaak Ti is an odd character due to the many ways she has died in Star Wars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsain Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Finally caught up! Damn, so many feels in the scenes between Anakin& Ahsoka. Also fun that we got to see Sabine’s mom in action. But what really struck me was how cinematic it felt. I think the soundtrack had a lot to do with it, hewing much closer to the full Williams treatment. Can’t wait for the next episode!

Mog Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 That went unexpectedly. My only complaint was that the saber fights were a little slower than what we’ve seen in the past. Kinda like that Maul is playing the long game, knowing about Anakin and probably suspecting Order 66. Curious to see how everything pans out next week.

Spoiler Maul switched to the long game after interrogating Jesse. Once he realized Anakin and Obi-wan were never coming, it was now survival. As for the saber fight, Maul is literally half the man he was and Ahsoka is definitely out of practice. They are much farther along than I thought, running parallel to Episode 3 so yeah, it will be interesting how the next 2 episodes play out. Spoiler Order 66 will likely be coming next week.

Mog Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 ^^I disagree; Maul has shown in previous Clone War eps that he's still a vicious fighter, even after being cut in half. MASSIVE SPOILERS for anyone who hasn't watched Season 5 of Clone Wars: Still massively quick in these earlier eps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) I thought his duel with Ashoka was beautiful. It seemed much more fluid and smooth than many past fights.....not that they weren’t awesome too. Watching the above clips really show how much more effort is in these last episodes, as much as I still love those older episodes they almost look cheap compared to what we’ve seen these past 2 weeks. This weeks duel almost seemed like it was motion captured or something. Another great episode. Very haunting...knowing what is coming. Everything is on edge...the whole Galaxy is at the lip of a chasm....just about to fall over it. Maul definitely knows what’s coming and Ashoka seems to sense something too. The music is also very somber and almost eerie in this episode too, I LOVED it. Watching the final 4 together will truly be cinematic. Episode 2.5 (almost) Chris edit: apparently it was Mo-capped.

I've not seen it but since a number of episodes were much better then the last 3 movies combined I am perfectly willing to believe you. Next year I will probably sign up for a month to catch up on everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 The last episode and this one are some of the best Star Wars period. After the final 2 are aired the 4 together will make an epic movie. Unfortunately, it won’t stand well on it’s own as it needs much of the Clone Wars series to have been seen to truly appreciate what Is going on...as well as that 1 episode of Rebels when the 2 are “reunited”. For those of us that are initiated, this is absolutely amazing. Such good pay-offs. With this episodes title mimicking Episode I’s title The Phantom Apprentice vs The Phantom Menace...next week very well may be Attack of the Clones as I really think Order 66 will be next week Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convectuoso Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 This is just epic. Best Star Wars we've seen in many years. I'm going to avoid watching episode 11 until 12 is released so I can watch them both together. It's going to be a hard wait, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvmacross Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 I must admit that I was not too hopeful when Maul came back in Clone Wars...but they really made him into one of the most interesting characters in all Star Wars....together with Ahsoka....

tekering Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 The Black Sun is represented by Ziton Moj in The Clone Wars. He also appeared in Season 5. He's Falleen, but he's not Prince Xizor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
