Smithy_Boy Posted February 24, 2009 Posted February 24, 2009 I really like the new Clone Wars series. I would like to see more clone episodes like Rookies and the Hidden Enemy. I also wish there was a few episodes that are like a big insane war over a planet. Hopefully that's what the new trilogy will be like. I also hope we see some of the vehicles that we have lego models of like the republic tank and the spider droid Quote
Oky Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) It reminded me for some reason:- Some fight in you, I like that. - Then you're gonna love me! *punch* Joker and Batman in TDK. I may like him or not. But as long as he keeps being a pain in the neck for the Republic, I love him! ) Death to the Republic! So this week the one that is showing is the episode 19 right? Right. I really like the new Clone Wars series. I would like to see more clone episodes like Rookies and the Hidden Enemy. I also wish there was a few episodes that are like a big insane war over a planet. Hopefully that's what the new trilogy will be like. I also hope we see some of the vehicles that we have lego models of like the republic tank and the spider droid Wrong topic. This type of stuff goes in here. But yes, I wish to see the Fighter Tank soon too! I'm surprised it wasn't shown yet, considering TLC released that set so early. But maybe it wasn't based on the cartoon and, instead, on Ep 3 or the video games... Edited February 25, 2009 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote
Natman8000 Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 I think the fighter tank would be great for the series, it would offer some great battle scenes. I also a bit disappointed that there are so few ranked clone commanders shown. Is this post good enough for you Oky? Quote
Oky Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 (edited) Is this post good enough for you Oky? No. Nah, just kidding. It's perfectly fine. Again, sorry for overreacting before. Saying that you find the way a character talks ridiculous and pointing out something that has been pointed out already just didn't seem like a very useful post to me. Get over it (please). Back on topic: Speaking of Grievous... Where the heck is he? At the beginning of the show, he was in practically every episode (which was great IMHO, even though he kept loosing), but now it's a new CIS general every week. I mean, I am definitely open to new generals, but can't they have it be Grievous once in a while? I guess I can only hope that he will be back in the next season and be better than ever! After all, the last time we saw him, Dooku told him that "there is room for improvement" in his fighting skills, so the reason for him not appearing in the last couple of episodes could be that he is now getting his infamous lightsaber training from Dooku! What do you guys think? Edited February 25, 2009 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote
pr0visorak Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Oky isnt that too many Simleys? Anyway, episode 20 and so on is going to be shown on the next few weeks or all in one week? Quote
Corvus Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Storm Over Ryloth was great! Some of the dialogue was a little bit awkward, but it did show us a little about Ahsoka's character. She lost a lot of confidence after losing... I don't know. I don't think it was a lot of pilots, though. But I did like their solution to the blockade: "Let's throw a ship at them!" By the way, does anyone know what those lines were on Mar Tuuk's hands were? I had no idea, though I did like his spinny thing on the side of his head. We got to see the T.V. wall thing again from Ep. 1. I was pleasantly suprised to see that. EDIT: The preview for Innocents looks amazing! It seems the final episodes are going a bit deeper that 'charge in, fight, etc., etc.,' that we've been seeing. Looks like Obi gets to make some decisions this time. "Who's up for a challenge?" "Here we go again..." Quote
ILikePi Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Yeah, that red-blue spinning thingy on that general's head was cool. But don't Venators cost like, I dunno, billions of dollars to make? Anakin was probably thinking that if he crashed the damaged one, they would make a new one. P.S. Mr Mandalorian your posts are so long compared to mine, and you always post first. Quote
Oky Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) I just watched Storm Over Ryloth too, and I quite liked it! I really like the new Separatist captain, Mar Tuuk! He is obviously the type of strategist who analyzes his enemy before facing him, which always makes for an interesting antagonist! Therefore, I am really glad that the makers of the show decided to keep him alive in the last minute. I'll be looking forward to seeing him in future episodes. As for the rest of the episode... Awesome space battle scenes! A visualization of a Marg Sabl, one of Admiral Thrawn's strategies! I am very happy to see that they are drawing inspiration from Timothy Zahn's magnificent books! A very deep and emotional story starring Ahsoka, which will hopefully positively affect the opinion of all Ahsoka-haters about her character. In addition to the Marg Sabl, there were also nice references to the Star Wars movies, like the round wall screen from Ep. 1, or the escape pod launch scene from Ep. 4, to name a few. Overall, a very nice episode that starts off the Ryloth trilogy quite well and makes you excited about next two episodes! The next one looks pretty good. I was hoping for a good Obi Wan episode, and this seems to be it! Too bad, though, it seems we still wont see much of Mace in that episode. I hope that that means that the last episode will be packed with Windu-ish awesomeness! By the way, does anyone know what those lines were on Mar Tuuk's hands were? Good question. They sure looked strange. Sort of like his bones were coming out from under his skin. And since he's an alien, that might even be the case... Oky isnt that too many Simleys? The correct term is emoticons, and no, there is no such thing as too many of them. Anyway, episode 20 and so on is going to be shown on the next few weeks or all in one week? In separate weeks of course. Edited February 28, 2009 by Oky Wan Kenobi Quote
DarthSion Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Good episode, loved the end battle, the side on thing flank with bombers was sweet. I see they hired captain Kirk, who would have thunk it. Our.block.ade.is.im.pen.etra.ble Quote
Captain REX Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Wow i was expecting to get Hostage crisis but like you guys i got storm over ryloth. I have to say i absolutely loved it. It was great to see Ahsoka voicing her opinion as though it was better than everyone else's and i loved the republic's strategy. Quote
The Penguin Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Well, gentlemen, I've just watched Storm Over Ryloth and.... well, not to rain on your parade, gentlemen, I will say that it's a nice episode. Nice but not brilliant. ) Indeed there are many references to other films, books, etc.... And that is good. There are some nice battle-scenes. That's good too. But most dialogues are quite weird, Ahsoka's emotions is quite a cliche-like episode. The new general is good, but I really didn't see any ingenious moves from him.... Ships, jumping out of hyperspace don't really work here.... And when Anakin decided to send a ship at his Lucrehulk, he made quite an odd decision to open fire, instead of reversing, or just turning the ship. In that case the cruiser would hit the side of Lucrehulk, and the Core ship could have remained undamaged. Plus to that, turning Republican cruiser that way was quite a strange thing.... I mean, why did it's "belly" manage to hold full fire from 3(!) Confederate frigates? I didn't find his red/blue switching head thing very amusing.... What does that suppose to mean? The most obvious thing is that it reflects somehow his motions. And that seems to de so, indeed. But that's just.... As for his hands.... If you look carefully, all neimoidians (at least in CW) have their bones on the hands that way. Nute Gunray, Lok Durd.... Overall the episode was good. But I'm much more looking forward to seeing ground battles. ) Good day, gentlemen! ) Quote
ILikePi Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) Mar Tuuk's voice sounds funny...but also cool! I could barely hear that hologram guy though. Edited February 28, 2009 by ILikePi Quote
DarthSion Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) What was the blue red thingy on his head. After thinking about this i think it was the best we have seen, not really story or battle wise, but just because the droid commander wasn't retarded. Simple The Penguin, as Ashoka said, by rolling on its side the belly it would take all the blasts there, when its front on because of the design its achilles heel is shots to the open fighter bays and the shields dropping that any shot when the shield is down would hit any fighters inside thus causing secondary explosions, which would be V-19 or what ever fuel and any explosive weapons to be ignited. And lastly, its a TV show, same as how the ships fall when they loose power or are severely damaged, and you can hear engines, and blasters, its just a TV thing, in reality you wouldn't hear a thing as space is a vacuum and no means for sound to travel. Nothing personal, but you do say gentlemen allot. Edited February 28, 2009 by DarthSion Quote
ILikePi Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) That thingy on his head is a "random-spinning-red-and-blue-radar-communications-mini-satellite-that-fell-from-the-sky-and-got-stuck-on-his-head" .

ILikePi Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) No, I don't mind it, gentleman. But what are those closing parentheses at the end of you sentences for? Edited February 28, 2009 by ILikePi Quote
DarthSion Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Yes it was addressed to you, to put it simple, its a TV show, just accept they did it and enjoy it, i was simply using the sounds in space to highlight things that don't make sense, like several ships don't destroy 1 ship. No, just saying, made me think of when Ronin told Teal'c he say indeed allot. Quote
The Penguin Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 No, I don't mind it, gentleman. But what are those closing parentheses at the end of you sentences for? Those questions could be asked via PM. I've written about closing brackets in this topic a few pages before. Let's return to CW discussion, shall we? Yes it was addressed to you, to put it simple, its a TV show, just accept they did it and enjoy it, i was simply using the sounds in space to highlight things that don't make sense, like several ships don't destroy 1 ship. Well, I must say, I can not agree here. ) A cartoon based on Star Wars should be realistic, it should be a masterpiece, a work of art. Simply because it's SW. I love the current series, and because I love it, I want to make it even better. Good day, gentlemen! ) Quote

I don't think they had time to do anything other than open fire (which I agree would have done absolutely nothing) and the Mar Tuuk to get away. As for the ship taking that much fire to it's belly, Sion had a point- the giant hangar deck is a weakness. But I'm pretty sure the ship could take that much damage, if they'd have put all power to the shields there. They weren't using the engines, and they weren't using any cannons (which were pointed the other way), leaving a lot of power to those shields. Plus, I think Venators are much more powerful than are shown here. They do seem to get blown up a lot, don't they? Whereas the CIS Frigates were never supposed to be very powerful. As for realism, well, remember, a Star Destroyer falls out of the shot in one of the Classic films, and we've always heard engines and so on. As long as it's in the original series, I'm fine with it.

I suppose it was obvious that the Venator was going to crash at them. If he ever tried the ship wouldn't have hit exactly the core.... ) Though, I guess it's pointless debate, and not very important at all. ) Though, it's good that Tuuk managed to escape.... ) As for the ship taking that much fire to it's belly, Sion had a point- the giant hangar deck is a weakness.

As long as it's in the original series, I'm fine with it. Indeed so. ) By realism I don't usually mean going into such details as sounds. That's ok, nothing to discuss here. I mean balabce, if you know what i mean. Say, do you remember CW cartoon? That was awfull in it's exagurration and things like that. ) When I see such things here, I'm really getting upset. I mean, when 40 BD cannot hit 3 clones.... I just don't want the cartoon to go goofy and become very childish. ) Thanks for interesting discussion, Mr. Mandalorian. Good day, gentlemen! ) Edited February 28, 2009 by The Penguin Quote
Captain REX Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Ok i watched the cartoon network trailer of the innocents of ryloth on youtube and is it me or at the end does the announcer say: "blinking is for suckers". Hold the phone. Little children will have been watching that trailer. Do you really think Suckers is the correct language CN? What are you trying to teach them? That if they miss your shows than they suck? Quote
simonjedi Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 It just means there is a lot of things going on. Well, gentlemen, I've just watched Storm Over Ryloth and.... well, not to rain on your parade, gentlemen, I will say that it's a nice episode. Nice but not brilliant. ) This is my opinion as well. It wasn't really that much of a space battle, first part didn't make sense tactically, sending 8 or so STARFIGHTERS (not bombers) to attack several a heavily armed and armoured capital ship. The second attack is essentially several bombers and fighters blowing the crap out of several cruisers without any real opposition, did like the Ashoka/Anakin scenes though Quote
vulture droid Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Meh, indeed it was visually appealing, and i did like Wat Tambor and the Confederate captain, Storm Over Ryloth was to out of pace (some parts seemed very fast and confusing (the first attack) and some felt very slow and strange (Yularen and Ahsoka)) and some plot points don't add up (talking about picking up Anakin with a tractor beam but instead picking him up with a shuttle). As far as the battle, the opening scene in Jedi Crash was better. 3.5/5 Quote
Darth Skinyus Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I thought that the last one was alright, but I wish that it had some ground action. The next one looks hella good though. One thing that has annoyed me this whole series is that whenever a Clone addresses a female, they call her 'sir.' They aren't sirs! Quote
Snake...SNAKE...SNAAAAKE?! Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 It was missing some oomph, but this was one of the stronger episodes of the series. mixing character growth and action decently. Quote
