Clone Wars: Season 3

Sometimes Kenny, I think my problem is I care too much.  So something like this does bug me.  But I'm willing to watch and see what they do with it.

Just because it doesn't bother me.. doesn't mean I don't care about the subject. I love my sci fi and fantasy, but I'm also very good at not letting the details distract me from enjoying it.

Okay maybe hate was too strong a word (sorry).. more like disappointed.

I always have a hard time hearing people rip apart things I love (yes I know it's their opinion and everyone has the right to think whatever they want) but it doesn't mean I have to like it. I so dislike nitpickers... but to each his own.

I guess I'm just lucky that I don't care about those things.. I can just sit back, relax and escape into whatever world they want to bring me into.

I honestly get what you're saying about ripping apart things you love, but that's exactly what's being done to the stories we read and grew up with. Someone decided to rip them apart and pick out things they wanted to use for Clone Wars. I also think that without people objecting to things that aren't right for them, the people putting things together don't learn from their experiences. Anyone can say great job what's next, but it's those comments critiquing the problems that helps to make the next thing better. Attack of the Clones is a direct result to fan outcry against the dreaded M word and Jar Jar. Lucas heard the complaint and altered his plans. It's obvious that he did because until Phantom menace came out, he was tell us that Jar Jar would be a major player in the series. He even kept that promise by having Jar Jar vote and change the galaxy, but Jar Jar isn't where Lucas had initially saw him.

I can not like parts of something and still enjoy it. I think that's actually my view on life as a whole. One is not exclusive of the other. I think it's great to not like aspects of something that you enjoy. I think that it's also pretty much accepted that the stronger the emotions you have about something, the more visceral the reaction.

Just to be clear, I wasn't saying anything related to you caring or not.  I was just talking about myself, personally.  I may not care much about who is in the Superbowl, but don't mess with my Trek or "Star Wars."  ;)

Yeah, I don't think being able to enjoy the series without having these continuity issues means you "care" more or less. I devour SW content in books and media and feel the more the merrier regardless of revisions. I actually think I am WAY more critical than either you or Rico when it comes to entertainment!

Right, as I said, I still really enjoy Clone Wars. I'm not one to hate something blindly. It is great for what it is and despite the fact it's doing some things to the EU I don't really appreciate.

I love Star Wars, I can look past things but it doesn't mean I can't have a reasonable conversation about them.

[Feathers]

For what it's worth my 8 year old son says (of Maul coming back) "Is George Lucas doing that? What is he thinking? Doesn't he know that he died in the first film? His brother would be acceptable, but Darth Maul? No!" He wants me to send a message to George pointing out the mistake!

He also wants to know if Sith can do the 'glowy thing' like dead Jedi.

(Prequals have just aired again over here. Sam is turning into quite the Star Wars geek.)

[ori-STUDFARM]

But hasn't Maul already returned in the EU, with robot legs and everything?

I personally think he is one of the coolest characters from the Star Wars universe and one that many, myself included, thought was a wasted opportunity when he was "offed" so easily and quickly. A right wasted opportunity. If Filloni can find a way to bring him back, I'm more than happy. As for the reality of him surviving the fall in 2 seperate pieces....I'm sure it can be explained one way or another. It may not be very realistic...but then, neither is the Star Wars universe itself.

Before we continue the carving-up-Lucas-game again, I'd like to point out that the EU is just as guilty as killing/saving important characters.  I've heard that in the EU, Mace Windu isn't dead and survived the fall, but was less in power.

You heard wrong about Mace. I think you might want to fact check before saying the EU is guilty. They did bring the Emperor back, but only by putting his spirit in a clone body and the darkside ate away at said body. They went out of their way to make sure that it matched the movies and had Sidious go into the darkside and that energy pulse was part of that. They integrated their story with available material. They didn't cut him in half and bring him back in the same ... well mostly the same body.

Maul and others have returned in the infinities lines, but those aren't canon and your basic what if stories to give writers a license to write stories that don't matter or interfere with the EU.

On this subject, the EU can't kill important characters from the movies unless George sends down a mandate. That's how Chewie died and they even address the idea of many of the main characters not dying when they should in the story. However the EU has killed numerous important characters that were born in the EU. Anakin Solo, Jacen Solo, and Mara Jade are only a few of the big names that got killed.

[ori-STUDFARM]

I think Forcecast summed it up best this last week. There isn't one set canon. There is GL and EU and T- canon and a whole host of other stuff....

...I think it's best to try and think of the different areas as seperate. The comics stand alone. The novels stand alone. The Tv show stands alone. The movies etc....

It's nice if one backs up another....but don't expect it!

[Bryancd]

WOW. Tonights episode was the most interesting, mind bending, episode of ANY Star Wars I have ever seen.
