Clone Wars: Season 3

[Bryancd]

Great episode indeed.  Ahsoka is really starting to become a great character.  But I just have one small issue:

[spoiler]How did Zero get captured again??[/spoiler]

King

Guys this episode was before Cad rescued Zero. This season especially they have been playing the episodes out of sequence.

Yeah, but King was asking when Ziro was captured in the first place.

Oh I read it as why was Zero capture again.. because he is rescued in season two and then suddenly he is back in jail again.

I know, it's all very confusing! But still lot's of fun. The only thing that really bugged me so far, besides the two Manda-bore epsiodes, was that whole Tantive V/Sundered Heart BS. I just can't for the life of me comprehend why Lucas changed that ship. makingt he one we saw in Ep III NOT the Tantive now after all that build up and interior shots.

Yeah, I heard that on the Force Cast podcast.

How did everyone like the most recent episode with Quinlan Vos and Obi-Wan teaming up?

[KingIsaacLinksr]

I really enjoyed it.  The banter was nice and the story was solid.  Cad Bane at his finest.  He is one of my absolute favorites of this series.  His voice is excellent and he's just such a badass bounty hunter.  Every episode with him is just great. 

[spoiler]Although Zero dies??  :(  I'm pretty unhappy about that, he was such a cool character.  At least Bane didn't.  Still, Zero dying like that was bitter sweet, I would rather have seen him do more, but hey, its up to them.  I guess the fact that I'm unhappy about his death means I liked the character :)[/spoiler]

The ForceCast is probably going to get hammered by EU-fans this week on their round table.  Apparently Quinlan Vos is a beloved EU character.  And if I know George and Dave, they probably didn't stick to the EU edition exactly, unless someone can tell me otherwise?  (Never read the books about Quinlan)

I liked the episode quite a bit too, except,...

[spoiler]Two Jedi against Bane and they couldn't catch him?  Seems a bit unlikely to me.  I mean he's good, but I never get why they don't use the force more in these fights?  They should have been able to force grab Bane and toss him into one of those rocks.  Battle over....[/spoiler]

[spoiler]Only problem there Rico is that the episode and suspense will all be over right then and there.  Actually, if you think about it, many of the movies would have been over if the force was used a lot more.  George sorta explains it in the Prequels as being something you shouldn't abuse too much, but really it comes down to the writers.  If the Force was used all the time, the Jedi would basically be Gods and nothing could ever stop them ;) but yeah, Cad really managed to get out of there, but only barely.  The Force Unleashed video games explain in greater detail really, why using the force a lot means your basically an unstoppable force in the Galaxy.  Works in a game, but not so much a TV series.[/spoiler]

I loved the episode and agree with what Rico said, BUT King is correct, there needs to be some peril for the Jedi,problem is sometimes the Clone Wars and the Force Unleashed make Force power so extreme we get desensitized.

[Rico]

Yeah, I get all that guys.  And I kind of can handle when it's a one on one thing.  But two full Jedi?  Sorry, that just kind of bugs me.

Oh I hear you, it bugged me as well.

So I am all caught up with Season 3 now and since there have been some comments about the Clone Wars on the podcast, I figured i would give this a bump. I really liked the latest episode. I found the political intrigue stuff very interesting and the story engaging. I do understand and agree that the timeline issues are very confusing but I don't really have a huge problem with the last group of politics heavy episodes.

[Rico]

I'm having a hard time with the last several episodes.  This season seems all over the place.  And I really wonder what kids who watch are thinking of bank deregulation, emergency senate appropriation bills, and so forth.

[Bryancd]

They had a recent ForceCast Clone Wars Roundtable discussion about that, some callers were commenting that their kids were very much engaged and liking Asohka and Padme a lot more as they have featured strongly in these episodes. I do agree they are all over the map, however.
