Oh hells yes! Mandalore?

 

[irunthepeg]

So f***ing good. It's gonna lead right into Episode 3 with them going to save the Chancellor, I bet. I'm so ecstatic they get to finish the show.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

Hell yeah! It was criminal to cancel the show. So glad it's back!

 

[LarKing]

This made my day. Show got so good at the end. Really excited to see what they do.

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

I'd love to see the last episode focusing on the Clones turning in their clone trooper armor for Storm Trooper Armor and Rex and Wolf running.

It's been a long time since I've seen it, but isn't that how the Clone Wars movie ends?

Like the movie that introduced Ahsoka? It was basically just a mash-up of a few episodes. The movie was the intro to the show. I can't recall exactly what happened but it involved one of Jabba's nephews or something.

Or are you talking about Attack of the Clones? Cause that just shows the introduction of the clone army. A whole war happens between that and Revenge of the Sith.

I must be thinking of the former

No, you're thinking of the 2003 Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars series. It ends with Grevious capturing Palpatine.

Grevious was seriously bad ass in that version of CW

Was that the series that was hand drawn and not alot of speaking? Each episode was like 5 minutes long?

Yep. It moved terribly slow but it was well done for sure.

OH That's what you're referencing, RIGHT! I actually loved that series too. I have them all on my external HD. I think I like this CW more but that one was really good too. I like the silent/short nature of the episodes.

I can’t wait for this to be back. Some of the best Star Wars content has come from this show. Filoni is a god damn genius

Give him a damn movie already Disney.

 

[Jovavic]

Is the whole series on Netflix still or have they pulled it? I think I read that Disney is pulling their stuff for their own service

 

[Hivemind]

Curious if they'll be sticking to the plots of the unfinished episodes or rewriting it from scratch.

Hopefully it finishes better than Rebels did.

That movie was retconned by the TV show.

Movies and series are VERY different. Filoni is great because he develops characters over time. His writing might not be as good for a 2h movie.

So give him a trilogy.

 

[LarKing]

I’d be okay with that. They need to get everyone who makes the current movies away from the next trilogy if it happens.

Johnson has his own trilogy and I think Abrams is probably done after Episode IX. Although if he does well with it...anyway that's probably more for the other thread.

I think Filoni would do fine with a movie. Some of the best arcs from The Clone Wars essentially were movies themselves, although with characters he'd spent many episodes building, so that is a very valid point.

After seeing the trailer a few more times I think I'm going to have to go watch the Umbara arc for like the 10th time.

 

[Hivemind]

While I quite enjoyed Clone Wars and Rebels, I don't get the Filoni worship. He really jumps the shark at times on his weirder story arcs, particularly when he's allowed to create Force mysticism narratives. I think he needs someone to reign him in from doing stuff like time travel, all-powerful force beings, and space whales saving the day.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Hope we dont see typical Disney Star Wars in this. While the series had its kiddish and stupidly unbelievable points it was good and had a lot of darker well done stories

It's not really any stranger than some of the stuff Lucas himself came up with though. The Mortis arc opened the door on the Force mysticism stuff. The time travel in Rebels was a continuation of that. The space whales were a bit weird though.

Its funny there are three youtube videos that show the darker moments of TCW's and its in total about an hour long, and when it goes Dark Clone Wars is really dark. There are so many just brutal executions and deaths in it. You would think that they would have reserved the dark moments for Anakin and Dooku. But Kenobi has a real talent for just bringing some nasty death.
