soooo glad that there's something like this show to keep us Star Wars fans fed.

Fed? If this clone wars stuff is supposed to feed us...

Let's say the six star wars movies are like a big bowl of steaming spaghetti with some nice meatballs; it fills you up and satisfies you, and you don't mind having it again, although maybe next time you could add some chicken broth to the noodles and have a few less meatballs. Still the same basic meal, but there's things you can do with it to make it more interesting next time. And the people that make it care about it, they try to make it appetizing. They put a lot of love into it in the kitchen and you enjoy it.

In comparison, clone wars is like a small bag of potato chips. You get just a few chips, and there's not much you can do with potato chips. They're the same every time. Once you eat them, you're still hungry most of the time. And there's no care that goes into it when it's being made. They just have a big factory where they stamp out chip-shaped pieces of potato slush and put it in a bag and sell it to you every week. Since it isn't prepared with love in a kitchen, some chips are greenish because they were made from the toxic potatoes that shouldn't get used. Those will make you sick. Except with the clone wars, every once in a while you'll find a single moldy, dried up noodle, or what seems like one, in the bottom of the small bag. It makes you hungrier for that spaghetti again, but all you have is that one nasty misplaced crumb of food. It goes against the other noodles, if it can even be called one. In fact, it could be a large rat dropping covered with dust. It just isn't a true noodle, and it shouldn't be in your bag of chips.

So the solution? Take the noodle out of my bag of chips? No. That's not the solution. Solution is, go to a restaurant and order some spaghetti. Except no one's making spaghetti anymore.

If you can't tell, I don't like clone wars...

If you can't tell, you're just wasting space in this thread. Nobody gives two ^^^^s or a ^^^^ what you think.

I posted some of my sketch cards from topps' upcoming Clone Wars Widevision set: https://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2021650#post2021650

...and in regards to the whole Clone Wars/Food Analogy thing....I'm really enjoying my bag of potato chips (moldy noodles and all).

I'm glad you compared star wars to spaghetti and meatballs and not some gourmet meal. However since potato chip sales bring in over $15,000,000,000 annually and you can eat them by themselves, in dip, crush them as a breading and put them on a sandwich.

Guys, nothing wrong with potato chips. Just not what I like to eat for lunch.

What I was trying to say is, it doesn't have the same feel to it, and everything seems oversimplified into being "good" or "bad". The basic formula for a saber fight is "Good guy" with lightsaber + "bad guy" with saber + some fighting with verbal arguments over which side is better. It doesn't have that kind of "Let's get to business" kinda feel... They just blabber on during a fight in many cases. Like the bad guy will say something like "The dark side is stronger!", and then Ahsoka will say "The light side will always win!"...

And also there are many redundancies... For example take the Republic Attack Shuttle seen in Season One Episode 10, Lair of Grievous. What is it designed to do? It is supposed to be able to carry troops and provide support for ground and air forces. That is exactly what the original Republic Gunship (LAAT/i or LAAT/c) was designed to do. Yet they have both in service during the clone wars. The attack shuttle has no advantages over the gunship, and is even similar in size and design. It isn't an upgrade of any sort, nor is it a smaller version that would use less resources. It would cost a lot to redesign a vehicle and put it into production, and that money would be wasted since there is already a model in production that can do the job (perheps even better). They act like it is something new, when it's just a pointless variation on something they already had.

Also, the inconsistency of Ahsoka Tano... well let's just say that she cannot survive. She must die. Here are the reasons: According to Wookiepedia (at this link:https://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jedi_Master) and the DK Star Wars Visual Dictionaries, in order to become a Jedi Master, a Jedi Knight must sucessfully train a Padawan (so the Padawan would become a Knight), retake the Jedi Trials, or be given the title of Master by the Jedi Council for an important heroic deed. In Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, Anakin is appointed to the Jedi Council but is extermely frustrated at not being a Jedi Master. At exactly 39 minutes and 8 seconds into the movie, Mace Windu says "You are on this council. But we do not grant you the rank of Master." He is NOT a master, only a knight. So the clone wars series takes place before Episode III, and he is training a padawan, Ahsoka Tano! If he sucessfully trained her, he would automatically be granted the rank of Master without question. And Ahsoka is nowhere to be found throughout all of Episode III. So where could she be by then? The only logical answers: dead, lost, or she ran away. If she is sucessfully trained, it will be the biggest hole ever seen in the continuity of the Star Wars universe.

Hope you have a bag of frozen peas on your forehead!

Ok so in a nutshell, Anakin training Ahsoka would make him a Jedi Master, which he is not in Episode III. So he couldn't have trained her.

Is that better for you?

Yeah, and I think I need to lie down.
