The Clone Wars series was a big mistake.

>>42465483
I dunno why they retconned it. It made sense to me that the Grand Army of the Republic, grown in labs as commodities and assets, who follow orders from the highest echelons of power, would have a failsafe if the Chancellor or Senates life was in danger. And it didn't matter if they were friends with the Jedi, because ultimately they were deemed a threat to the Republic. To them the Chancellor was a victim of a horrible assassination attempt that left him "scarred and deformed" only saved by Anakin Skywalker. Logically as Palpatine manipulates Anakin into believing, the Jedi would try to storm the palace and overwhelm them with numbers. Hes strong but hes not taking down the temples worth of Jedi.

Kill all 2008 Clone Wars fans.

head tails and a butt tail? This is my new kink.

>>42465758
I for one enjoyed the 2008 CW. I think both 2003 and 2008 hold up pretty well, even if 2008 made some questionable episodes. Maybe I have a soft spot for it, since the two shows made me love the clones so darn much, but are we really gonna let some bad episodes ruin a decent show?

>>42465433 (OP)
a more civilized age.

People who like 2008 CW haven't watched it, all of it, in it's entirety recently. 90% of that show is rancid filler stuffed with scenes like Gungans beating Greivous into submission.

A couple of arcs being decent doesn't make the whole show good.

>>42465871
Disagree with the 90% filler part, but I do agree there is more filler than there should be that is still pretty decent, and epsidoes which were entertaining but questionable. That episode with Grevious is one of those and honestly I kinda hate how they hype Grevious up in the show then gets his ass kicked over and over again, and the fights aren't even close. 2003 knew how to treat Grevious, although I dislike how Windu choked him at the end. Why can't all Jedi do that? Why not Ani or Obi?

>>42465871
post 2003 grievous was a dying zombie

>>42465889
To force choke a living being like Greivous as Mace did would be to brush against the Dark Side of the Force. Mace was able to do it because he's used to feeling the pull of the Dark Side (and resisting it) when he uses Vapaad, most Jedi wouldn't be able to do that. Also in the book Shatterpoint Mace fought Greivous before in a proper duel but Mace ended up fleeing because he got scared shitless as he could see Greivous learning to use Vapaad as they fought(2003 CW is part of the CWMMP which Shatterpoint is part of so they're connected), and in 2003 he didn't want to take any chances so he just Force Crushed him which turned him into RotS Greivous.

>>42465921
I had a feeling it had something to do with vapaad, but I am a little sad that we got that information via a source outside of the 2003 show itself. With that in mind, the fact that Grevious was such a threat to Mace that he just didn't want to take any chances in the type of thing I wanted to see in 2008.

Also the Multi-Media Project was awesome. Thank you Glimmerfag!

>>42465717
because filoni got too attached to the clones

>>42465930
>Thank you Glimmerfag!
You're welcome, bitch. I'm not just the king of /mlp/'s fartfags, I'm also the biggest StarWarsfag here.

And a tiny correction on my part, it was Labyrinth of Evil, not Shatterpoint, in which Grievous and Windu fought.

>>42465717
I know, right? RotS was showing you the dangers of black-and-white thinking: "I'm a patriot, you're a tyrant. I'm a loyalist, you're a traitor." Like the whole thing about the clone troopers was that they were quelling a rebellion against the government. They were following orders like they were trained to, and from their perspective, they would've been the loyal dutiful soldiers fighting against traitors. They wouldn't have needed those chips.

>>42465717
>>42465953
While I agree with you guys for the most part, I still think this doesn't explain how quickly they were willing to kill their generals. Even the most steadfast follower of a regime needs some time to think if there comrade they fought with is part of the so called rebellion. With the chips, that explains their also rabid behavior, even if it does take away the thematic element aformentioned by you two anons.

I also hate the Clone Wars series, am I cool now?

>>42465717
People seem to forget just how strong another person's influence can be over others, especially when those 'others' are bred specifically to fight for him and his "Republic" from birth.

the last 4 episodes of season 7 are some of the best SW there is, fight me

>>42465977
>fight me
Sorry, I don't want to catch a charge for retard abuse. I will say this though, it's funny how you say "the last 4", season 7 was such a piece of shit.

>>42465965
The Kaminoans made them this way. All the individuality and personality of Jango Fett is gone, replaced by selective, meticulous programming.They are grown artificially, accelerated, taught combat regimens, loyalty, tactics before being sent to fight. And they made millions of these. Remember in a 3 year time period clones were being made constantly.

>glimmerflag
IGNORED.

>>42465984
>season 7 was such a piece of shit
it was up until the last arc

If you don't love the arc with the toad and the droids you are a fake Star Wars fan.

>>42465990
No, those 4 episodes were "good". Season 7 as a whole is bad, just like TCW2008 as a whole is bad.

Great it's gonna be another one of those threads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6uMhnaBJKI

>>42465996
curious, what's your favorite SW then?

>>42466003
KotOR 2 w/TSLRCM.

>>42466006
fuck it's been like 20 years since I last played KotORs as a teen, now you made me want to replay those

>>42466003
NTA but Galactic Battlegrounds, bits of the old EU until the Vong get introduced. KOTOR 1 and 2, TFU 1, various comics, TCW 2003 of the top of my head.

>>42466024
Do it. Do it now. Here's a picture I drew of Marionette from Tamers12345 as a fusion of Darth Sion and Nihilus.

>>42466003
Not the glimfag but I love the Empire at War mods. Had to get a Steam addon to get rid of Wolffucker Furloni's clone and droid voices for Fall of the Republic. Played it more than Jedi Academy, which is a childhood classic for me. Same with Republic Commando.

>>42466042
Empire at War is ironically enough my most played SW game. Those mods are something else.

>>42466041
I really should, I actually played SWTOR a lot, and I mean a lot, loved the PVP in it before they butchered the ranked PVP in it by removing ranked warzones. The lore the game introduced was shit though

>>42466053
SWTOR is the sequel trilogy of KotOR 1/2. I actually used to play it too, I finally dropped it once I got to the KotFE/ET storyline. Genuinely some of the worst written stories in all of Star Wars, I cannot fathom what they were thinking.

>>42466058
>the KotFE/ET storyline
only Valkorion being Valkorion made that a bit bearable but the rest was pure dog shit

>>42466047
Very good numbers, glimfag.
>>42466053
>>42466058
Ever since I played KOTOR 2 and heard about whatever the True Sith are supposed to be, I just couldn't care for SWTOR anymore. The Sith Empire is cool and all, but it's just the Galactic Empire with more angry wizards.

>>42466042
oh fuck yeah i love republic commando so much. easily my favorite clone trooper story. such a fun shooter.

>>42466072
I love playing EaW on my steamdeck, it's so comfy.

The True Sith Empire in TOR being a GE reskin was always one of my big gripes with TOR.

>>42466072
>I just couldn't care for SWTOR anymore
story aside, the gameplay and mainly the leveling experience of it was the best WoW clone I've ever played

When did people start liking Clone Wars anyway? I remember being a kid in 2008, and all I ever heard back then was how much it sucked and how inferior it was to the original 2003 Clone Wars. Now I start hearing about it again years later, and it seems like in most places, people opinions have turned around and they love the Filoni Clone Wars. When did this change in opinions happen? This shit was near universally reviled back then.

>>42466157
>people opinions have turned around and they love the Filoni Clone Wars
because it's still miles better than what Disney brought us I guess

>>42465991
I loved that arc! I shouldn't like it, but I loved it!

>>42466157
Season 1 and the CW movie sucked period. Further seasons were much better. I think the two CW shows had thier own strengths but that's just me.

I like to headcanon the B1-Battle droids as being basically female droids, because imagining them as cute, clumsy robot girls makes them so much hotter.
I want to fuck a B1-Battle droid, is what I'm saying. I go hard for the CIS, fuck the Republic and fuck the clones. Battle droids all day.

>>42466157
clone wars wasnt really a good show until season 3. it had a handful of stand-out episodes in the earlier seasons but it definitely feels like kiddie slop. stuff starts to get pretty interesting later on though. consensus definitely changed sometime around then.

EaWX is the better series of mods for Empire at War versus Awakening of the Republic/Clone Wars.

I miss /swco/

>>42466527
I don't. That was a Disney Wars general.

>>42466047
I love this game so much, I had it on disc and spent so much time on it, even played the multiplayer before it was kill. Hung out in the chatroom that I was probably too young to be hanging out in. Thrawn's Revenge is good but Awakening of the Rebellion clears.

I liked the Maul stuff in Filoni Wars. Watching him ultimately get BTFO by Sheev was pretty cool.

>>42466527
i don't ot was annoying a lot of the times, you are better off in the random threads made on /v/ or /tv/

I do remember thinking the episode with the commando droids, the giant monster, and Grievous's lair were really cool as a kid. The commando droids were badass as hell and it felt nice for the battle droids to not be treated as a joke for once, and watching Grievous slowly work his way through a squad of clones and pair of jedi like a slasher movie villain was one of the first times in the series he didn't completely feel like a saturday morning cartoon villain.

>>42465433 (OP)
I had such a raging middle school boner for this chick

>>42466596

>>42466003
Andor is amazing and it's genuinely depressing that we won't get anything close to it ever again

>>42466731
no a lot of contrarianism (intentionally going against people e.g. if people like episode 5 faggots would say they hate episode 5) AND defenses for disney SW
youre dumb

>>42466157
I didn't notice the Dave Filoni worship until 2018/2019 thereabouts. The general liking of the Clone Wars coincided with that, and it was probably mostly as a response to the sequel trilogy being so bad, that and the kids who were of the age when the Clone Wars was on television was starting to get more on the internet and make their opinions known. A lot of older fans still aren't big on the show, especially those that liked the old multimedia project back in the day, since it basically bulldozed over that entire continuity. But the age group it was intended for growing up is probably the main reason the shift seemed to happen.

>>42467372
>it was probably mostly as a response to the sequel trilogy being so bad,
it was that, tfa and tlj were mediocre and shit respectively so people put all their faith in filoni to go up in the ranks and evemtually save star wars wkth good stories and characters and reintroduce the EU or the fan favorite characters somehow

>introduce Thrawn into the nu canon
>do so in the babby show with helicopter lightsabers
Humiliation ritual

I think the Clone Wars era sucks and the Galactic Civil War era is infinitely more interesting. Rebels are cool. Empire is cool and who doesn't love an underdog story?

>>42467558
Everything in disney star wars is basically just a worse rehash of old Legends stuff. The entire sequel trilogy is more or less just Dark Empire again, but even shittier.

>>42467558
>Thrawn jobs horrifically
>"hmph, all according to my keikaku."
This how dumb people write smart characters.

>>42467558
I remember reading that there's an instance where he takes a cloaked ship, parks it underneath a planet's deflector shield, and opens fire on the ground below it while ordering an ISD to fire on the cloaked ship's position. This makes it seem like he's firing through said shield. How is it so hard for nu-writers to come up with cool shit like this? It's the bare minimum for a character like him.

>>42465460
On one hand I like the conspiracy, on the other it feels like a cop out the more I think about.

>>42467609
First, because it takes effort to think of something clever and writters would rather make an intelligent character go "all part of my plan" as it was stated before
Second, because i think nu-writters hate being cool and overthink stuff too much. instead of writting a cool and simple battle their minds go "hmmmm but this isn't realistic, they wouldn't attack this way its dumb, they would be flanking this side and..." OR they go overboard and try to force a cool moment e.g hyperspace ramming

2008 Clone Wars series was legitimately banging, heaps of Darth Maul / Grievous / Sheev / Ventress / Count Dooku. kino stuff, Anakin as a Vader in the making. Even some Yoda, Ahsoka would force jump a heap an ability rare used in the films. Jabba the hutts momma, vampire planet of slavers.
The clones would take off their helmets and actually have personalities
The only boring episodes where the ones where they'd go to some planet as peacekeepers & help some civilian aliens fight the droids.

People love Mandalor, Andor, Ahsoka & Acolyte but the truth is THEY are the shit shows with nothing of substance.

>>42467762
it was a cop out, they couldn't have the clones folllow order 66 after how they portrayed them even thought ot would still make sense for them to b3 soldiers following orders

>>42465483
You're ultimately right.

Sex with Ahsoka
