Just what we need, another robot that's been programmed to be cute and wacky. :facepalm:

I wonder if JJ will do the unthinkable and give "Chopper" a voice and have him speaking English?

OMG...I just started watching The Clone Wars, and I really really like it a lot. :) Good storytelling. I have watched the first 4 episodes, and Im hooked. :)

Thanks to those who recommended watching it. :shep_wave2:

This is really good! Im really having a fun time watching this. I just took a break to make some popcorn. :smiley-money-mouth: I feel like I just found $100.00 in an old jacket I hadnt worn in months. :) I like the Yoda in this a lot, but the Anakin/Ahsoka thing grates at me sometimes. This is a bit confusing as far as the canon goes. So, this is during the Clone Wars of the movies or between Phantom Menace and The Attack of the Clones? Has to be...correct me if Im wrong though. :)

Nope, you are right, that's exactly where it is set. It's why Anikin goes from a kid to a jedi knight.
I am glad you are liking it, and all I can say is, It gets better, but unfortunately, if you don't like Ashokha, you are shit outta luck buddy :P

I didnt say I dont like her, Im just saying she can be annoying...but Im only at episode 6 of first season. :)

Ahh, she gets better as well :)

This is good because its FUN. :) I think the battle droids in this series are too stupid (over the top). Why would any civilization build a dumb droid? I mean...they would actually have to write a program for dumbness. Dumb Subroutine 65243? :) But it is supposed to give us some comic relief, and they give us endless redshirts to kill off and nobody cares. Anakin is way more cocky in this series than in the prequel movies, and it almost makes him punk-like. Padme...well, I havent yet seen as much of her to decide how I like her, but she is a good character and does not come off like a damsel in distress.

I have had this in my collection for a year and this is the first time watching it! Its really pretty damned good. :)

She is badass in this. Also, this is not "cartoony". It is sort of a cross between anime and CGI. But the stories are so damned FUN! I am totally into the story and not caring that they are animated. :)

That's all I have ever asked you to do, enjoy the story.

I also have Battleship Yamato which I have never watched in my collection. Is that good too?

OHHHHH!!!
Ummm, yes it's good, but it is.......... Very dated now. You might find it a little do "drama-ish" same as you might find Robotech dated as well.
All I would say is, give it a go, you might like it, but it's still a nigh on 30 year old cartoon, made just when "Anime" was just moving into to US, so bear that in mind. it's nowhere near as clean, polished and targeted at "teens" like TCW is.
It is a great story though, and who doesn't like the Wave motion cannon!!

The Clone Wars did excellent character development for the new characters created by the clones. Each one was different even though they had the same face. I like the way they made each one seem different because of tats, different ways to wear facial hair and different haircuts, etc. I think they overdid Yoda's circlespeak a bit, but they got R2D2 exactly right, as they did C3PO and Obi Wan and Grievous. Dooku is more of a caricature in this series so far. The Emperor and Windu haven't had much in it yet, but they have been shown.

So much FUN! :)

Yes, Ahsoka gets annoying -- very annoying. She's one of several flaws in an otherwise good show. The Senator Amidala stuff can get preachy and tedious at times too.

You really didn't like her dude?
Oh well, I thought she was ok, better than Binks or Amidala for sure.

I was fine with Ahsoka at first but as the series went on she became preachy and downright annoying. Her character had less to do with female empowerment and more to do with just being an unqualified, petulant snot. I can only assume she was culled in Revenge of the Sith, which at least means there's a silver lining to her story arch. :)

She comes off like a groupie. I like her when she fights and all, but her sometimes whiney reactions to things annoys me. I haven't yet seen Jar Jar in this. I dont hate her, but you said she changes, right?

What happens to ashoka is going to be in the extra eps we should be getting relatively soonish after the fans kicked up a stink about the way the series ended in S5 and they dropped the unexpected hammer on it.

I have a feeling that she is gonna get shot by Rex though.
