Lucas will definitely not be directing, so that's a 40% increase in potential right there.<br /><br />If they can just manage to make the script scary and hard once in a while that's all I need. In Genndy Tartakovsky's <a href="http://users2.ml.mindenkilapja.hu/users/kaksznihonlapja/uploads/dooku.jpg" target="_blank">"General Grievous"-duel scene</a> of the 2D-Clone Wars series, he had him face off with 7 jedi and wipe out all but 3. That's the kind of balls you need to give Star Wars an edge, like the severed arm in Mos Eisley Cantina, Owen and Beru's cadavers, Luke's hand. The "I'm not screwing around here, Luke" message.<br /><br />All that touchy-feely cuddly Ashoka-stuff has diluted the franchise to "Land Before Time"-levels. Just having an antagonist that looks like <a href="http://users2.ml.mindenkilapja.hu/users/kaksznihonlapja/uploads/dooku.jpg" target="_blank">this</a> for crying out loud. Hell, having an entire lineup of characters that you know will survive to Episode 3, such a shot in the foot, narratively.<br /><br />Anyway, hopefully this will be a new chance. I guess that live-action series will fall by the wayside, though... <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>Jason Abbadon</b> <br /><small>Member # 882</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2012,10,2,10,12,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">November 02, 2012</span> <span class="timeformat-0">10:12 AM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Nim my friend...you must not have watched beyond the first season!<br />The sheer "holy fuck!" violence is occasionally shocking on the Clone Wars- Ventress once used the force to grab a clone commander by the neck and hold him in the air, choking.

You'd be right, I stopped watching by the episode when Ashoka tried to save a village full of pacifist furry people, and butted heads with the (for some reason) french-accented Aayla Secura. That's when I felt it had seriously started aiming for the Nickelodeon-audience. If they have started making it more mature, great. I might try it again. It's hard, though, to shake the underlying feeling of the protagonists not achieving anything of consequence, since we all know what's coming. But I might be wrong, if the writers manage to construct a narrative sufficiently free from the Palpatine-plot.<br /><br />The clones are another gripe I didn't even know I had until last week. Like the nemoidian battle droids and the geonosian insects, they are a "safe", acceptable cannon fodder, precisely invented so that kids could watch them die but not feel connection to them, like seeing "indians" shot by the hundreds in 50's cowboy movies. As a 10-year old, when I watched stormtroopers die in the original trilogy (like in the speeder bike chase) I felt at least something, I knew they were individuals at some level. Clones are perfectly sterile, and Morrison's neutral voice acting gave them a bit too harmless of a disposition, in my opinion.<br /><br />Can you even imagine how cool it had been if the voice of ALL the clones since AOTC had been an actor who tried to emulate the real Boba Fett? That raspy, guileful, wonderfully hissing intercom voice? "Aas you wishh.." Every time clones would talk, the viewer would feel a slight chill in their spine, and it would've been the perfect premonition of what's to come (Palpatine's takeover). It would also have been a great excuse to stop using clones by the time of ANH. They were simply horrible to work with and genuinly creepy. Holy shit, they could even have had a scene in Episode 3 when a jedi gave a clone an order with his back turned to him, order 66 came through, and the clone stabbed him/her in the back, saying "As you wish...". That would've almost approached Peter Jackson-levels of cheek.<br /><br />I always hated that scene from AOTC, it sounded so modern-Lucas:<br /><br /> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">They are totally obedient, taking any order without question.

Just as it is, production values would be prohibitive from anyone other than Lucasfilm, I imagine. The ships and vehicles obviously respond very well to CGI conversion. I've always liked the Venator star destroyers. Twin bridges were a genius idea, aesthetically. Covered Y-wings were tough at first but they're growing on me. And they're finally using the top turret's swivel function.<br /><br />Edit: I've been home for a week with pneumonia, right now facing insomnia and stomache ache (from the penicillin), I was in a weak state, ok? In dire need of some distraction. This isn't easy for me. I <i>may or may not</i> have derived some entertainment from the liberation of Ryloth, last night. In fact, it was <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8JoKTphzFo#t=0m30s" target="_blank">this sequence</a> that sealed it. The choice of muting the sound and music in the fall was tasteful.
