$20 on joe vs dan Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Since the Shelter in place back in March, my boy and I have been watching for the the first time...we are almost finishing Season 5. I have been really impressed how the sophistication of the series ups its game season to season. Sometimes the backlog seems insurmountable: Season 6 and 7 and then SW Rebels, and then SW Resistance...Mandalorian and now this. I will say the draw to buy LEGO Clone Wars set is really real...watching regularly one can't help but WANT the sets in LEGO form to re-experience the show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$20 on joe vs dan Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Mind Blown... This series should fill in the gaps between Revenge of the Sith and Rebels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicSpeed Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I know this isnt Clone Wars related, but Hayden coming back as Vader is really awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the right hands, especially if Dave Filoni has any say or involvement, I really think he could use this to redeem himself from all of the flack he gets for the prequel movies.

Honestly, he looked the part but failed as an actor...someone fell in love with "the look" early on. I know they came later, but if Hayden had the benefit of watching a few seasons of Clone Wars...he would have known that Anakin was a grizzled war vet who managed entire fleets...and not JUST a pouty love sick puppy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmaslıefendi Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Hayden was excellent in Episode 3. Best SW movie ever made, I don't care what the critics say. I think he did great. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

II and Ep. III don't do justice to the legacy that is Darth Vader. But George Lucas left a huge gap that had to later be explained because of the bad choices he made in those movies. Working with Dave was probably the best decision he could have made to make The Clone Wars and the other animated series. You should watch Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian if you haven't already. The first episode is great and really explains the vision that Dave helped work with George Lucas to build, and I would say, fill in the appropriate gaps, that you see expressed in the background of Anakin in those series. On another note, Ive been watching them with my 5 yo daughter. We have only made it through Ep. I and most of Ep. II (in 45 minute spurts). This was at her request and once we finish Ep. II, I do want to watch all the animated ones and try to do this in chronological order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one clone is going for a rather John Rambo look. Also more of this Clone Wars is always welcome even in the midst of general Star Wars franchise fatigue.

I will welcome a period of Star Wars fatigue (it will be much better than our previous period of Star Wars disdain). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
