Here's hoping you guys keep doing the same, complaining about "moving on" only to come back in here and rant the following week because the latest episode didn't contain a buttload of Jedi and clones.
Loads of Clones and Jedi isn't necessarilly what I am looking for from this show, just material that doesn't make me cringe.
If you enjoy it, that's great, I guess you don't need to look any further for your Star Wars fix.
So there weren't any aspects of the films that made you cringe? Ewoks maybe? Lando's stereo-typical flirting? Jar-Jar? Anakin/Padme "love" scenes?
Exactly. The cheese is part of SW whether people want to admit it or not. The prequel movies were full of trashy dialogue and lame attempts of character development that resulted in Darth Vader no longer being viewed as such a badass, the jedi as naive as a young school girl, bad jokes, etc. The upside of this show features characters and action sequences far better than anything in the recent movies IMO...except for one or two lightsaber fights.

Don't stop there though, even before the Special Editions, there was, and still is, an overabundance of cheese in the OT too.
Absolutely, Jedi and to a much larger degree, the Prequels had many cringe inducing moments, especially AOTC.
With Clone Wars, those cringes are happening so often I feel like I am developing a nervous tic. Some of the material even outdoes Jar Jar for irritation level. At least with the movies (even AOTC, which I have trouble watching) there is enough awesomeness to offset much of the cringing. As far as the Special Ed.s go, at least I can watch the originals still and miss such moments as Han shooting first or Han stepping on Jabba's tail.
For instance, an awesome moment from the prequels might be Palpatine revealing his true nature to Anakin. In CW, we get parables on the danger of fizzy drinks, girl's night out with Padme and Ahsoka, and a delightful trip to the spa with R2 and 3-PO.
For the record, Lando's flirting never bothered me, since Han did the cringing for us.
I really don't see a difference, other than we get to take a walk through Star Wars now weekly instead of every three-four years. I thoroughly enjoyed both episodes of the premiere this season and am looking forward to getting into the meatier story. When that happens, this mole hill will be seen as the ant hill it actually is.
Just wake me when we get to the good stuff.
They gave her leggings!?! lol
Third seasons are always hard to do but it's getting better.
Ahsoka is getting a new costume.
Wish she would get a new role.....
