Star Wars The Clone Wars Season Five News and Discussion

[Worf2DS9]

Was this our first visit to Illum since the micro-series? I enjoyed the episode, a nice breather after the heavy, arguably just-too-long Ondaran opener.

That shit should have been a two-parter, tops.

Onderonian.

I enjoyed the Ilum episode.

Fitting that the younglings exhibited character flaws that they needed to overcome to mature.

As to the child endangerment issue that some have raised: meh. The lightsaber is a weapon; danger is part of being a Jedi. Besides, Master Yoda seemed to have a sense of what was up, and I'm willing to assume he had a responsible sense of how ready and able the younglings were to face the test.

 

[Shazam!]

There were two Jedi, K'Kruhk and T'ra Saa, who fought in The Clone Wars, and then survived all the way into the Legacy comics set 100+ years after return of the Jedi.

Rahm Kota survived too, though presumably not 100+ years.

 

[Drago-Kazov]

Jerec became a Dark Jedi.

 

[Mr Light]

"The Gathering" was a pretty good episode, but a little too rushed. Definitely should have been a four parter.

It was part one of a four-parter, in fact. The story arc is called "Young Jedi."

I was seriously hoping you were kidding. Then I checked the episode guide... Ah well, it may yet end up not sucking.

 

[Christopher]

I'm starting to wonder if they've moved exclusively to 4-part story arcs. Maybe the plan is to package them as movies for DVD release, kind of like what Lucas did with Young Indiana Jones.

 

[Drago-Kazov]

Since the CW is aviable for free after a few days...

 

[Mr Light]

Oh my god I was making a joke, it's seriously a four parter?!?!

 

[JD]

David Tennant will play a droid who "plays an important in the Jedi younglings' quest to build their lightsabers" in Saturday's episode.
I could see this arc working out pretty well if each episode just followed a step in the younglins' training.

 

[Mr. Adventure]

I'm trying to figure put of "Huyang" is some pun (young Who?). They didn't go with D-R-Ten-N or the like at least.

 

[JD]

Really enjoyed this episode. Lots of good stuff with the younglings and Ahsoka, and David Tennant's character was fun. I'm a big Hondo fan, so I really enjoyed his stuff too.

As soon I heard the voice I wondered it it was him (confirmed in the credits). There was also a Doctorish element to the droid he was voicing.

 

[Enterprise is Great]

Enjoyable episode though what did it have to do with the Clone Wars exactly? Whatever...I liked it so so what. Hondo is a cool/fun bad guy. David Tennant's character was awesome. And this season seems to be the season of Asoka. So far she's been involved in every episode in a fairly big way (I don't think she was in the season premiere though).

 

[EmoBorg]

I am just curious. Does the canon or non canon books mention anything about Ahsoka Tano's death? She was Anakin's Padawan after all.

 

[Drago-Kazov]

Nope.

 

[Slurms MacKenzi]

Ahsoka's fate will be revealed in the series, as confirmed by Dave Filoni.
