[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] NIM! You're reading Knights Of The Old Republic?!? Man, I rant and rave about that everywhere- KOTOR is the most fun you can have with Star Wars- Zayne is everyting a Jedi should be by way of morals and doing the right thing no matter what...and his being a total fuckup and his "special relationship to the Force" gets nicely explained...but I wont spoil it for you. There's a major shocker in the sixth trade paperback...and though I guessed it slightly beforehand, I was still suprised. KOTOR would make for an incredible animated or live action series. Also, you should get the two action figures they made- Jarael and Rholan! Rhola is impossibly well detailed too! You should also read [b]Star Wars: Dark Times[/b]- dealing with events starting six months after ROTS and the fallout from the fall of the Jedi. A very adult series with a few distinct Kurosowa nods in the third trade paperback. Like KOTOR, the art id fantastic- some of the best comic art I've ever seen. Period. [IMG]http://images.darkhorse.com/common/salestools/previews/swdt11/swdt11p2.jpg[/IMG] TFAW.om is the place to get the trades- they have them really discounted- there or Amazon for usd trades. Anyway, getting back to Clone Wars ([i]sorry for the detour, I'm just a huge fan on those two series!)[/i], season three showcases some great clone trooper development and shows us a trooper that was a "reject" for some reason- kinda old and frail: hunched over and limping, he helps out as a sorta custodian on Kamino. We also get to see Heavy and Echo's origins as raw cadets- and the origin of their names! Soething that really shines in CW is how they not only manage to make each clone unique despite them all being voiced by the same (awesome) actor, but they make the clones compelling enough to carry whole episodes without any Jedi...and you [i]dont[/i] miss them! [QUOTE]The Arquitens-class escort! Debuted in Season 2. Literally a threeway of corellian corvette, millennium falcon and star destroyer. Shut up and take my money. I've always loved smaller-range capital ships, they feel more manageable, a crew you could get to know, as opposed to on a 1600 meter Imperator. In that same episode and on that ship there was also a new elite ARC Trooper helmet design on the bridge (the one on the right). Similarily, a threeway cross between the Gen-1 Clone Helmet, the Gen-2 (standing behind him) and just the classic Stormtrooper, topped off with a mandalorian ocular sensor. Cool eyeslit. Well done there. Hope to see more of that helmet. [/QUOTE]That clone commander is Wolf- his squad is called the Wolfpack. You can see the wolf design on the front of their helmets. You see more of the Wolfpack in season four. Those helmets are for the ARC Trooper Commanders only- the rest of the squad get standard ARC trooper helmets (which are still far better than Stormtrooper helmets!). You also get to see Waxer- it was him a Boil that saved that llittle girl on Ryloth. Lets see...you're on Season Three...tons of great stuff there. That Jedi Light Cruiser is indeed badass- it's back in season four (though obviously [i]not[/i] that exact cruiser!). That first episode with the light cruiser was brutal- I think almost all of that crew was killed on that mission. The Pantoran Chancellor is NOT to be fucked with! Holy smokes, that old dude mows through lowlifes. That episode again shows a Jabba that can be reasoned with. The Pantoran disruptor is indeed cool- it reminded me a lot of mal's gun from [i]Firefly.[/i] [QUOTE]And speaking of making an impression, Bariss Offee was just crazy well-done, it was almost scary watching her.[/QUOTE]Like you, I'm in love with Luminara Unduli,- your pic is of Luminara- Barris is her padawan. The way Luminara moves, is so liquid- it's almost like she's dancing. The fight between Ashoka and Luminara against Ventress was amazing- I've probably watched that episode ten times. Great depiction of Newt Gunray as well! So far as I can determine, the Medical Transport design has no other name- and no one knows what the flippers on the aft are there for- I had thought they were for vectored thrust but that's unlikely at this point. You're going to see a return to Geonosis and in the episode after that, you'll see a great tug design that makes certain those medical ships dock properly. [IMG]http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110922035421/starwars/images/d/d8/TugShip-BI.jpg[/IMG] Huh...you've already seen the episode with my favorite CW ship design- the lovely Mandalorian [b][i]Coronet[/i][/b]. [IMG]http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110922231136/starwars/images/2/23/Coronet_docking_at_Coruscant.jpg[/IMG] The only thing I'm a bit disapointed in from season's three and four is that we dont get to see Anakin's freighter [i]Twilight[/i]. That hunk of junk really grew on me! [IMG]http://spaceaniac.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/twilight.jpg[/IMG] ....but you will see a lot of amazing new designs- and some tweaked to fit the CW a bit better- like the Z-95 Headhunter! I'm hoping that they show the Deadnought class of capital ship- they'd be older than the Venator, but still- I love that design! [/QB][/QUOTE]
