Star Wars The Clone Wars Season 2 Discussion

[sok117]

That would be great, although I'm fairly sure it was only a three-part story arc.

Yeah but they will definitely go back to mandos later in the season or in season three, Think about it, if Fridays episode is only about one mandalorian trying to assassinate the duchess, there going to have to bring the army later.

[Clone OPatra]

I am going to say there is a zero chance that we will get a Mando battle pack ever. For one thing, they look too much like clones, and TLC just did a clone pack last year. For another, Mandos may be pure fanboy gold but they are not well known to the general public. And with the huge fail that was the assassin battle pack last year, which was made up of lesser known characters, I bet Lego will stick with the basic home runs like storm troopers.

I am confident that there will be another Clone battlepack this coming January, following LEGO's battlepack pattern of PT/CW, OT, PT/CW, OT. Nothing looks more like Clones than Clones, but they'll need a bad guy counterpart.

Mandos won't be fanboy gold now that they're featured in the Clone Wars, in army force. From the clip, the whole army looks exactly the same, perfect for a battlepack.

Yes, the Assassin droids might not have done so well, but what else are they going to do to fight Clones, more battledroids? I don't think the original battledroid battlepack did that well either. Unless they do something like commando droids or those droid officer things, they need some sort of bad guy, and an army of normal figures (non-droids) could do quite well.

I too think the Mandos won't only be in this three-story arc. Unless their entire army gets destroyed in Friday's episode, I'm sure the Filoni won't just say "The heck with them" and never bring them back.

I'm really glad the dialogue has been getting better with the CW. They're actually starting to use big words!

The design of the new characters is getting better and better. Mas Amedda looked great, as well as the guy in the hologram. The original characters of the series, however, are starting to stick out like a sore thumb. The red clones on patrol were pretty cool. I liked the crowd control idea, but I think it could have been carried out better with Commandos.

The assassin seemed pretty weak. He wasn't nearly as dangerous or prominent as we were led to believe from the previews, more of a casual threat to keep the suspense up. He didn't seem very skilled. For example, a running shot with a sniper rifle, and then jumping down within reach of a Jedi. He didn't have very good aim, either.

Well, looks like it'll be a little while until the next episode. There wasn't a preview on tonight, and I checked the schedule- up next week is Lightsaber Lost instead. Still, I suppose all the new, great designs they've been throwing in (Coruscant must be a pain) is wearing them down, and it takes longer to make...

I'm under the impression that many of the first episodes were already mostly finished before they even started the season, because of the clips that appear in the season trailer. I'm also bummed that they are very inconsistent in how they air their episodes.

Otherwise, I like the episode quite a bit. A nice mix of action, plot, and characters, and not too much was given away from the trailer like in the last episode. A satisfactory end to the three-part series.

I have to respectively disagree with you. Mandos, like Boba, will still have a god like status will the true fans. Especially those in the states. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a Mando battle pack I just don't think it will happen. I think that they are going to go with a better known bad guy to offset the clone battle pack. It could be commando droids, who knows. However, if it does happen you can say I told you so all you want, while I gladly buy up the Mando battle packs.

I think it all really depends on what era we get our next BPs from- Classic or CW.

It seems to me that if it's CW, there's a good chance we're getting Mandos. Why create a new mold for Commando droids when you can recolor the new Boba Fett helmets?

Of course, I think there's far more potential in a Classic BP- Endor comes to mind.

Another big factor is whether or not the Mandos will pop up again. If they make appearances throughout the CW, then it's likely. If it's limited to these three episodes, then maybe less so. But hey, Lego has already made sets based on even more obscure sources- the Talz and the rocket droids come to mind.

[Clone OPatra]

Well, just watched the latest episode, and while it was an ok end to the three-part-story, I was still left a bit disappointed.

Where was the disappointment? Well, like was already said, that Mando assassin sucked at his job. He could've taken down the duchess and the informer about ten times, but he has to change positions, slowly set it up, etc.

And then, they have a whole Mando army ready to go, but oh well, they can't use it. So now what for Death Watch? It looks like they're just going to disband, on to some other Clone Wars story. Which is ok, since an army of Mandos doesn't really make sense to me anyway, but it still seemed like a lame cop-out in the story line, like so many other things in the CW.

But hey, it's just a kid's show, what can you expect? As long as they don't have another Lightsaber Lost like episode, it's still good enough for me most of the time.

I completely agree, the mandalore series as a whole could've been much better.

But I do think we'll see them again. They didn't get wiped out or anything so they are still there for another episode

[Zzz]

This mandolorian thing is really boring to me. CW is good at action, but boring with character developement and "stories". The perfect example is how much I liked the "Landing on Point Rain" (?) episodes, there were cool. Cool Gunship and Y-Wing action, liked that.

Also, I find the whole thing about Boba-Fett-look-alikes really boring. It is so fanboyish and easy to be into Boba, GL knows and so he made Jango. Not enough, Jango was cloned into every trooper out there. Not enough, their helmets look like his. Not enough, we now have a whole army of Bobas?? This is just too lame and too unbelievable to me.

[DarthSion]

Meh, the Mando's came off as quite damn useless.

I did like the big shields the red clones had.

[Corvus]

Me too. The shields were supposed to be 'plexiglass' according to the Episode guide, but they seemed pretty opaque to me. I spent most of the episode hoping that we'd get to see them beating the crap out of somebody with their clubs.

[DarthSion]

I spent the whole time hoping we would get them in a battlepack.

[The Legonater]

I want to see these. BADLY. I HATE Farmer Vision... How would these rate? Are they awesome like Rookies, or are they more of a lame fight like Lair of Gervious?

[Clone OPatra]

WHile the season is ongoing, this shall be pinned. Enjoy!

[-JD-]

The Mando Assassin could have no-scoped her. She was not far away at all! Maybe even with a blaster...

Although I haven't seen the episode, I probly could've done it on Battlefront 2. Awesome game!

[Oky]

Looks like there still wont be any new episodes until March 19. Does anyone know what the reason for this break is? (And I don't wanna hear any anti-america rants from you, DarthSion)

Anyway, according to Wookiepedia, the next episodes will be called "Senate Murders" and "Cat and Mouse".

How would these rate? Are they awesome like Rookies, or are they more of a lame fight like Lair of Gervious?

What do you mean? Kit Fisto VS. Grievous was the best lightsaber duel we have seen so far IMO.

Anyway, they aren't as good as Rookies, but they are still above average, I'd say.

While the season is ongoing, this shall be pinned. Enjoy!

Thanks! It was about time someone did this.

Btw, the webcomic is getting pretty good! If you're not following it, you're missing out!

I agree, I'm actually wondering what's going on, and how it's going to end. It is too long between when the post each one, though. They used to do one a week. I'm glad they fixed on one or two styles, too. The third, cartooney version was .

But... until the 19th? They need to be careful- kids will fall out of the habit of watching every friday night. Even I've gotten less and less impatient for each new episode, I've noticed... I suppose one thing they could do would be to play the episodes more often, as well.

Yeah, but that was the ONLY thing good about it. That's too bad, though. I was hoping this would be a completly awesome trilogy, like the single-episode Rookies. That was a sweet episode.

I just watched Episode 15 of season 2 and it was horrible. In the end I fast-forwarded cause I didn't want to waste any more minutes of my life on this. It is a miracle, how some episodes are really nice, but most are simply boring. The animated series "Clone Wars" was much better. More action, more entertaining. I also like the comics of the CW, but somehow the TV series is just not my cup of tea. Also the drawing, I dislike it. The characters have such strange and unsexy faces. They neither look nice, nor sweet nor nothing. In the comics faces look more nice. I am just happy that the lego figures look sweet (Windu, Ahsoka, Dooku are my favorites) and that comics and the old series delivers me some background so I can play these stories with Lego. I have no idea how someone can like episodes like No. 15. No idea.

[Clone OPatra]

Where did you find episode 15 Senate Murders? I thought that didn't air until March 19th.

Interestingly, episode 15 is already up on watchtheclonewars.com! I didn't even know.

EDIT: Thanks sok for pointing out that episode 16 is a fake on the website - I've changed what I posted.

I know. In reality, a scope would've just zoomed in to her eye

[sok117]

well, Senate Murders (before you read I'm gonna be using a lot of these) was Terrible, The characters were , the plot was , and the fact that it was all political was just . And what was with that detective guy, he was just stupid, it was like I wasn't even watching Star Wars, just a really really really crappy version of Law and Order in space. I mean come on, It's episodes like those that make me wish Star Wars would just stop. I hope that they make a fig of that guy, so I can make thirty different vigs of how you can kill him. I mean he just looked, talked, and sounded . For those of you who didn't see it, don't bother watching it, unless your willing to put up with Lt. Tan Divo

BTW, He is like Jar Jar, only twelve times worse.

P.S. sorry for the rant

P.S.S. Thats not the new episode, all that does is Rick Roll you.

Apparently the UK has aired those two that episodes before the US and Canada so they are just trying to catch up with a double-header by airing two episodes.

EDIT: wow the killer was so easy to work out so the whole episode was really boring after I figured it out (which was like 5 mins into the episode). Im not really a fan of these political episodes but if they are building on the story they can be interesting but this one doesnt so it is kinda boring.
