Star Wars Megathread

So, the godzilla episodes. Not Clone Wars' finest hour.

Yeah, they were quite bad. Have you seen the Shadow Virus episodes yet? It was cheesy, but I liked Michael York as OTT totally not German mad scientist.

Yeah, those were in the first season. Not my favorites either, but the cheese was somewhat entertaining. Didn't like the zombie-worm from Geonosis ones either

I appreciated that they wanted to do an homage to the old school voodoo zombie movies, but yeah, it was a bit iffy. They stop those homages largely after season 2, fortunately, and the plot arcs become better from season 3 on, though there's still the occasional "eh" outing.

I did like the Mandalore arc in the second season. Also the invasion of Geonosis itself, which is far better than the one in Attack of the Clones.

Yeah, that was good. Also the Ryloth arc.

Dathomir episodes in season 3 - loved those, despite some really tortured plotting . Dathomir always sounded intriguing to me, a hostile jungle planet dominated by force witches. It never got much attention in the old EU material (at least, that I'm aware of), and I'm glad it's being expanded here.

In general, I've always loved those Star Wars/sword-and-sorcery intersections, like the Tales of the Jedi comics.

isn't there an arc with three force gods?

Yeah, that's a good one too. Always been a sucker for Force mysticism stories.

The Mortis arc, yes. It's still somewhat unresolved as the presence of [spoiler]the Convor[/spoiler] in Mandalorian shows - [spoiler]the connection between it, the Daughter and Ahsoka[/spoiler] is still somewhat unclear.

Interestingly, Rebels had more of those than Clone Wars, in comparison. Though one of my favorite scenes on that was in Season 2 of Rebels, [spoiler]"Legends of Lasat", where the Rebels go through the star cluster with the help of an old artifact[/spoiler]. The understated string music still gives me goosebumps.

So the cartoons go back to the frce being mystical? or is it still midichlorians, or both?

They sorta reformulated midichlorians, meaning that being Force sensitive comes first, and the midichlorians then allow you to use it and being stronger with it. So I guess it's both.

I haven't really noticed mention of midichlorians at all. About half way through season 5 of Clone Wars now.  It seemed to me they had fixed the stupidity of Episode I

Yeah, so far Clone Wars to me is like a better version of the prequels. And it's very much a children's show, in the sense that the narrative structures are pretty simple when you get down to it... which makes it kinda sad that they are far more successful than the movies were

How far in are you?

And yes, Anakin actually becomes an interesting character.

The story arcs get a lot better - and darker.  It starts looking a lot like Rebels [spoiler]after the comic Empire leaders were killed[/spoiler]
