I just had to post this...

There's nothing wrong with the new troopers. They look as much like ducks as the originals looked like frogs, or the phase 1 clones looked like Fu Manchu.

 

[jye4ever]

I never saw Fu Man Chu connection before you mentioned it, that's funny.

^ Is that Christopher Lee?

Yeah.. not real ecstatic about the new armour - not that I hate it, just not grabbing me.

 

[Rorywan]

I loved the original clone trooper design. It had a great old sci/fi look. Like The Rocketeer with the little fin on top.

As soon as it began to morph into a Stormie in ROTS and Clone Wars, thought it was dull.

 

[DiFabio]

I liked the AOTC and ROTS helmets. Both looked sharp, cool and intimidating. These were my favorite three designs,

 

[jye4ever]

One first needs to get past everything wrong with the movies to even get to a point of wanting to enjoy these designs.

Once you factor in the chosen actor/accent behind the clones, their slimness, their cgi movements, it all just goes to ****.

Just hearing Boba Fett's new voice makes me hate everything about these clones!

Bring in the ducks!

 

[a-dev]

Cartoons, all of them.

 

[jye4ever]

Cartoons, all of them.

True that by ROTJ they also had become cartoons during that Ewok battle, but these took that concept into overdrive.

Just looking at them makes me cringe because of what they represent.

DiFabio/Rory need to answer for their crimes.

Better than the new horse faced Endo. Better than the blue Avatar monkeys. Better than Hobbit orcs.


C'mon, you're telling me you didn't dig the troops and droids from the prequels? I know you had atleast one of those Hasbro figures. The prequels suck big time, but there are some good elements among them. I know you share the same sentiments I do with The Phantom Menace.

ROTS is mostly crap (wooden acting, too much CGI, ****ed up story), but the clone troopers and Sheev Palpatine are great. That opera scene with the floating sperm rivals OT's best dramatic scenes. Finally seeing these lame ass, dopey Jedi get shot in the back in a nice Goodfellas/Godfatheresque hit montage was terrific. Especially the deaths of the weird blue girl from the EU and the ***** headed Jedi.

Clones > Ewoks
ROTJ Troopers with musical drum helmets < Clones

Those cartoon clones could take out ****ing killer droids and Jedi. They would have murdered the midgets in practical teddy bear outfits.

Also, don't you like the cartoon orcs from the Hobbus? Azog and his son? For shame Jye. YOU should answer for your crimes and be sent to the phantom zone.

I'm only commenting on the unnecessary use of (and the overestimation of the quality of) CGI for the clone troopers, nothing more. Those pics you posted clearly look like cartoons. As far as the designs - cool I guess.

You always come out with such great descriptions, almost makes me want to watch AOTC/ROTS again!

Please, not the one with the dildos though.

 

[DiFabio]

Don't watch AOTC.

[pixletwin]

Don't watch AOTC.

 

[jye4ever]

Ok fine, I'll just watch the good parts from AOTC then, like the romance scenes, factory escape, Yoda flipping around and C3PO talking in the arena.

Powerful stuff. It all brought warm feelings to my heart.

 

[jye4ever]

When you say warm feelings, are you referring to how a bowel movement feels?

It's possible I mistook where the warm feelings were coming from.
