commanderneyo Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Ah, the guy that Anakin seemed to be threatening with his 'saber looked alot like Rex without his helmet. Ah, I thought you meant a different shot, the one where Ahsoka is fighting Pre Vizsla. From what's been reported, I believe that guy is Dengar. Filoni confirmed Dengar would look entirely different in his TCW appearance from Empire, so it could be. Quote

My younger brother (11) watched Empire the other day and referred to Boskh as 'That Cool Lizard Guy From Clone Wars' . Quote
Sisco Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 My younger brother (11) watched Empire the other day and referred to Boskh as 'That Cool Lizard Guy From Clone Wars' . TCW is corrupting our youth! Quote
commanderneyo Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 TCW is corrupting our youth! Hah, good one. I've also heard tales of young kids correcting parents on Ackbar. The parent will go "Oh look, that's Admiral Ackbar" and the kid will say "No dad, that's Captain Ackbar" Quote
Mr Man Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Well SW is meant to be viewed in chronological order so he should be recognised as 'first' appearing in TCW. (Don't kill me ). Quote
CMP Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Well SW is meant to be viewed in chronological order.... Since when? Well, at least they have one thing right...sort of. Dengar is about the same age as Han Solo. Shouldn't he be, like, 10? Quote

Technically, yes, but if he is a Clone he would have had growth acceleration during the cloning process. Quote
Clone OPatra Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I think the trailer for the next episode is the exact same scene that we saw a while ago, but I have to ask, why does Ahsoka say 'Death Watch' only after the final Mando has landed? She couldn't tell it was Death Watch after just the first one? And also, where did they come from? Were they hovering in the sky for a while? TCW should really be thought out better. Quote
Oky Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 It is more a preview than a trailer, but yeah, it is the same thing. It's just the cliche speaking your enemy's name after he makes his entrance thing. She says it late for dramatic effect. Maybe they were hiding in the trees? I don't know; I have given up on trying to make sense of this show a long time ago. Quote

I know what they were trying to do, but I don't think they did it well at all. It took so long for all of those Mandos to land one by one that her saying it that late lost any cliche dramatic effect to me. If they had all dropped down at once and then she said it, maybe I would buy it. Quote

Fallenangel Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Technically, yes, but if he is a Clone he would have had growth acceleration during the cloning process. First Fett, now Dengar? Come now, some of us actually liked this book! i Do they intend to turn all cool human background characters into clones? Because that would be ever so boring (as if there aren't enough rogue clones/fallen Jedi in the Expanded Universe already ). @Legoman273: See here. Quote

I know that others wore it, I just meant that perhaps if groups at the time (other than Death Watch) wore Mando Armor, Ahsoka could have only known that it was DW upon seeing Pre Vizla. Quote

You guys are way too critical and a bit harsh with this show She said "Death Watch" to express her antipathy. If she would have said it earlier, it were a warning, thus her remark had a totally different meaning. It's pretty much the same in ANH, when Princess Leia starts a sentence with the words, "Darth Vader!" once she spots him. Of course her expression has no informational value; both Leia and Vader know that he's Darth Vader :) But I think that noone has ever criticized her for making this remark; it was part of her way of expressing her antipathy for Vader and his actions.

Because that would be ever so boring (as if there aren't enough rogue clones/fallen Jedi in the Expanded Universe already ). This show hasn't turned anyone into a clone yet, and Boba and Starkiller are the only ones that have in canonical material as far as I know. I know that others wore it, I just meant that perhaps if groups at the time (other than Death Watch) wore Mando Armor, Ahsoka could have only known that it was DW upon seeing Pre Vizla. Interesting theory, except that Pre Vizla isn't present in this scene. He most certainly isn't that female Mando who was the last to land before Ahsoka said that, unless he got a sex change. She said "Death Watch" to express her antipathy. If she would have said it earlier, it were a warning, thus her remark had a totally different meaning. Ah, yes, antipathy is probably the word I was looking for. And yes, complaining about the timing of two words is a bit nitpicky, I guess. Quote

This is why the Mandos come down from the sky. Quote
Oky Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 That's not the same scene. Filoni did say that Vizla will have changed. . . Come to think of it, I don't recall any sex changes in the Star Wars universe, so that would actually be pretty innovative. Quote
LEGOman273 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 That's not the same scene. I meant somthing like it. Quote
LEGOman273 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I don't get your point... The point is that they were standing on rocks, trees, etc before descending to the ground in that scene. (That they do so in one scene means that doing so in another is likely) Quote
Fallenangel Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Come to think of it, I don't recall any sex changes in the Star Wars universe, so that would actually be pretty innovative. Ah, but there has been at least one... and in THE Clone Wars at that. Quote
LEGOman273 Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) Ah, but there has been at least one... and in THE Clone Wars at that. According to Filoni, Senetor Tils was ALWAYS female. She was named after a woman who worked at Lucasfilm named Tina Mills. So, no sex change. Edited January 11, 2012 by Legoman273 Quote
commanderneyo Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 More new descriptions: A Friend in Need-A peace conference between Separatists and Republic delegates is interrupted by Lux Bonteri, the son of a late Separatist Senator, who announces his intention to defect to the Republic. Soon after, he involves Ahsoka in his dangerous search to find justice for his mother's death. Deception-Betrayed by Bonteri, Ahsoka must thwart the Mandalorian terrorist organization Death Watch, and its leader, Pre Vizsla. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan goes undercover in a Republic prison in order to gather information on a plot to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine from a convict named Morallo Eval, and learns that another prisoner, notorious bounty hunter Cad Bane, is also involved. Friends and Enemies-Having escaped from prison, Obi-Wan, Cad Bane and Morallo Eval flee across the galaxy, pursued by Anakin and Ahsoka. Obi-Wan must devise a way to get the information about the kidnapping plot to his fellow Jedi without blowing his cover. That ruins A Friend in Need. We now know it will end with Lux betraying Ahsoka. Imagine if Ahsoka ended up killing Lux?! Quote
Fallenangel Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 According to Filoni, Senetor Tils was ALWAYS female. She was named after a woman who worked at Lucasfilm named Tina Mills. So, no sex change. I'll have no doublethink on these boards! Regardless of who Tills was named after, she originally appeared in Sith (which, as far as I know, Filoni played no part in producing) as a male and was portrayed in subsequent canon sources as such. The quote given on Wookieepedia concerning the matter suggests that Filoni retconned this on a whim. Quote
