Captain Rex!!!

Why? It's not "weathering." Hasbro's photos simply have dramatic lighting to make the photographs look more 3-dimensional. You could probably easily light and/or photograph your copy of the figure so it looks just like Hasbro's photos. The figure would look stupid if it came with fake "shadow" effects like that painted on. Not to mention you can't "paint" shadow effects on Shaak Ti's cloak no matter how hard you try. Why would you look at that photo and expect Shaak Ti's cloak to have black splotches colored on it when you receive the toy? And why would you want that? Lighting and paint...two completely different things.

sorry dude, i think you're wrong. the hasbro photos are touched up, whether its all touched up in photoshop or they had a pro paint it, i don't know, but they're altered, not just lighting. its most obvious on the palapatine, which unfortunately i can;t find a picture of.

The backpack is awesome as well. I really don't want to search through the thread, so is the backpack attached via magnets?

It was announced in a Q&A that yea it is. Not gonna search for it to prove it, but it's magnets.

Thanks man. I believe you, no need for proof.

I agree to some extent, but that series failed portraying the Jedi so each has it's issues. Though the episodes they've done with the clones have hit it out of the ballpark with, by intent or not, a heavy Traviss influence.

Whaaaattt!!? You got Clonobi, Yoda pulling battle cruisers out the sky, and Mace taking on whole battallions of battle droids!!! That series was da bomb!

I get what you're saying though. I wish the current series had more Tartakovski (sp) type clone actoin though.

On topic: Cpt. Rex is the sheit!!!

Sadly all that was overshadowed by a tattoo'd Anakin saving the mutant buffalo people. That and I think the ADD timeframe of the episodes didn't really allow for any real depth of story.

My favorite bit in the 2D CW was Mace basically unarmed just tearing through droids. I really wish something like that would happen on the 3D show. Something that the 2D show did that the 3D show never does is show the amazing power of the Jedi.

I had read somewhere that the storytelling in the first series was meant to seem almost like a folk lore retelling of the events.

They do a fairly good job of using the Force powers in the series. I like how they don't make the Jedi look almost omni-powerful, but actually show there are limitations.

One reason I didn't finish Force Unleash(Xbox360) is because the character got God-like powers and I think that ruined it for me. I felt both the 2D and 3D series force powers used still within acceptable range.

I wonder, what if one of the clones are force sensitive?

I thought it was a bit odd too, at first, but then realized that a Jedi would be fairly powerful if trained how to use his force powers by the most powerful Force wielder in the galaxy. Save for the Star Destroyer "boss," nothing was really that far fetched anyway.

As awesome as that part was it makes you wonder, if Mace was really THAT powerful how was be beat by a whiney little cry baby and an old man?

 

[dedguy]

I try to ignore the prequels. I'm more a fan of the two CW TV series.

Well, you see, it was a particularly nasty old man, and a particularly whiney little cry baby. Becuase wrinkle-face and Emokin teamed up, they beat mace Windu. But a lot because instead of killing Mr. Zappy, he argued with Angrykin and didn't want to kill him outright. Those droids? Pff, he didn't care about them because they weren't living beings. But I'm sure something inside Mace's head something told him "Man, are you really gonna kill an old man? I mean really? Dude, that's cold..."

I like the first one, but I scoff at the second one and its inconsistencies (or redundencies, rather).

I did like both prequels other than TPM... though all things STAR WARS are good in some ways IMO. TPM included, although Jar Jar was an unecessary character, and many other things were just "wrong" with the movie. Everythings STAR WARS also has its flaws also.

 

[dedguy]

The only thing I don't like about the 3D series is the convoluted unnecessary political stuff. Same thing I didn't like about any of the prequels. The whole Jedis making an army of clones to fight this army of robots that where made by a trade federation who are being manipulated by the guy who's basically leading the Jedi so he can make clones so that he can kill the Jedi was just like.... wah? It really makes no sense.

But that's for another thread. The main reason I try to ignore the prequels is that it makes the clones murderous zombies which makes it really hard to get into watching either of the TV series which I enjoy more than the prequels so... yeah.

One guy, playing both sides against the middle. You're over-thinking it waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much.

As for the clones, I didn't know shooting droids made them murderers.

Good points, nam.

It's not that convoluted, Sidious gets a droid army made, then a clone army made, and then he makes 'em fight so people panic and make him the Emperor.

 

[dedguy]

It is convoluted. It is extreamly convoluted. The clones participated in the murder of all the Jedi including kids at the Jedi temple. That's what I was referring to.

By the orders of the Emperor. Again, I fail to see how it's convoluted. One man's playing both sides and by that point, he's seizing control of everything. It's really that simple.

As for the clones, it depends on how you look at it. It's war, the Jedi have betrayed the senate and therefore are the enemies. What difference does it make how old they are? They're the enemy. Many soldiers in Vietnam died because of children who approached them for things like shoe shines and whatnot, only to reveal grenades and the like. Jedi, even padawans, would be considerably more dangerous and as we saw with the padawan played by Lucas' son, "threats." Mostly though we "see" Anakin killing the younglings, not the clones.

 

[Manticore72c]

i've left it a little late - Obviously lol - and I'm on the waitlist for the exclusive version. The more I look at it, the more I'm liking the figure. So hopefully a few people will pull out .. hehehe. Fingers crossed.
