Savage Oppress Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) :) the Buzz Droids are back in action Edited January 10, 2013 by Savage Oppress Quote
halomaster96 Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 I was impressed with how good the previous episode was (Especially how good Greggor was), but I'm very disappointed to know that this arc isn't over yet. It would have been much better to have ended on the last episode. Quote
Masked Builder Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 It was a decent episode, we need more commando action in TCW. Meah episode, wast of a commando, still arc is almost over. Well Filoni hinted heavily that he wasn't dead, we may see him again... Quote
Mr Man Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Well Filoni hinted heavily that he wasn't dead, we may see him again... Well dead or not, it still seemed a silly arc for a commando, they would have been good on Umbara, instead we had an ARC Trooper and a Captain performing commando missions there. Quote
Masked Builder Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 Well dead or not, it still seemed a silly arc for a commando, they would have been good on Umbara, instead we had an ARC Trooper and a Captain performing commando missions there. Yeah I agree with that, Commandos are under represented. Quote
Savage Oppress Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) According to Wookiepedia, Episodes 14-16 will be the Mandalorian Arc featuring Darth Maul and Savage Oppress http://starwars.wiki...rs:_Season_Five Edited January 12, 2013 by Savage Oppress Quote
commanderneyo Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 According to Wookiepedia, Episodes 14-17 will be the Mandalorian Arc featuring Darth Maul and Savage Oppress http://starwars.wiki...rs:_Season_Five That's episodes 14-16, which are episodes 14, 15 & 16 that will be the Maul arc with the Death Watch included. It would've been a 4-part arc, but "Revival" was pushed to the premiere so it's now a three-part arc. Quote

vdarkowlv Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Well, they actually got a 4th episode into this D-Squad arc. Wow. I read the above posts to this topic, and i know some people agree with me that this season has been a huge disappointment. Don't get me wrong, I loved the Onderon rebel arc, at first it seemed too long because I was waiting for Maul. But trust me, re-watch the rebel arc (in one sitting for best results) some time and I'm sure you'll see the great writing and aspects of that arc. Besides that arc, UGH. The younglings- so many issues in that arc that pissed me off. At least here are two examples of bad writing that really hit me in the face: There is a droid teaching Jedi? Are you kidding me? Next: one of the younglings was having trouble building her saber, yet when asked by Hondo she was able to perfect it in a matter of seconds. Anyways, it's cool to see side stories during the time of the Clone Wars, and seeing one including the lives of Jedi younlgings is cool too. But a 4 episode arc? Definitely pushing it with that many episodes. Now, the D-Squad arc. This post is long enough to explain my feeligns so I'll try to keep as much as I can to myself. From the first episode til the end, I was given a "Pixar/Toy Story" feeling from the characters and dialogue. I absolutely love Pixar stories, and especially Toy Story. But this is Star Wars, which is something that sould not remind me of Pixar movies. These astromechs put up great fights towards battle droids with blasters. They all act on intuition, which is something we should only see from R2. Gascon was beyond comic relief, he was nearly a shadow of Buzz Lightyear. So many more annoyances I will keep to myself, again due to the length of my rant. So, they make this a 4 part arc. It was quite disappointing waiting week after week to see these very goofy characters. I want Star Wars, not something the seemed like a stand-alone scifi Disney cartoon movie (which would have been a cool little story if it was indeed a unique Disney cartoon, it just wasn't Star Wars). Making an episode like this arc would have been a fine break from the stressful times of the galactic war, but seriously, 4 episodes?? That was too much, and I couldn't be more excited for the next episode because this D-Squd arc is over! Please respond and compare my feelings with yours regarding the Onderon, Youngling, and D-squad arcs. I haven't found too many boards that complain and praise this season. Look forward to talking to you all! -JD Quote
Brickadeer Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Well, I found the rabbit droid incredibly cute, maybe even cuter than the Wookie youngling And the droids hiding in the shuttle - that was soooooo sweeeeet I find the arcs too long as well - basically, because I have to wait 4 weeks until I see something new. Especially, since the whole season seems to consist of 4-episodes-arcs. Quote
Oky Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 A bit late, but we rebel bloggers have posted our review of Missing in Action. Please respond and compare my feelings with yours regarding the Onderon, Youngling, and D-squad arcs. I haven't found too many boards that complain and praise this season. Look forward to talking to you all! Welcome to EB! You can find all of our Clone Wars reviews right here. Oh, and Gascon is NOTHING like Buzz Lightyear! I see what you mean though. Quote
Sam892 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Kind of happy this arc is over. It had some really good moments but its over shadowed by what we all know is coming. Was disappointed that the Commando had little screen time. Anyway looking forward finding out what the next arc is. Quote
The_Chosen_1 Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 Anyway looking forward finding out what the next arc is. Check the above posts - the next story arc features the return of Maul and Savage. Quote
commanderneyo Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 The Rush Clovis arc has been officially pushed back to S6: http://gorosaurusrex.tumblr.com/post/40463195493/leland-chee-just-confirmed-via-twitter-that-the Quote
Walter Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 The droid arc wasn't that big of a hit with me. It would've been better if it had less episodes. 4 was really pushing it. Quote
Oky Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Alright, here's our review of Point of No Return. And I'm not sure if any of these have been posted before, but there are several previews of the next episode, Eminence, which pretty much make up the first 3 minutes of the episode: And there's a bonus preview on StarWars.com. Quote
Savage Oppress Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 can't wait to see the alliance between the Death Watch and Darth Maul and Savage Oppress tomorrow Quote
Masked Builder Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Looks to be a much better arc than the last one. Hope we get some good action! Quote
Savage Oppress Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) we probably will get some great action because we will probably see a rematch between Darth Maul, Savage Oppress and Obi Wan Kenobi. Edit: This week's episode was so awesome. It had way more action than the entire stupid droid arc combined. Can't wait for the next 2 episodes. Darth Maul Arc>Droid Arc Edited January 19, 2013 by Savage Oppress Quote
DarthPotato Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Wow, that was a really good episode! A little rushed at times, but still really good. I can't wait for the next two from this arc! Quote
halomaster96 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Well, "Eminence" was definitely better than all of the previous episodes in this season combined. Although, it doesn't nearly make up for the D squad and younglings arcs at all. Hopefully the rest of the episodes in this season are just as good! Quote
TheRedGuy Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Am I the only one that didn't like Eminence? Why does the fact that Maul is in this episode make it a good one? Quote
Clone OPatra Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Am I the only one that didn't like Eminence? Why does the fact that Maul is in this episode make it a good one? Could you explain what you didn't like about it? Nobody has said that Maul alone was the reason they enjoyed the episode. Personally, I thought Maul was very well done, and more enjoyable than he has been in the show so far. More importantly, this episode was really going somewhere. It was a great setup for a larger story, what with the planned betrayals by Viszla and Maul and the pulling together of an army of thugs. Sure, not that much happened in a larger story sense, but unlike the first episodes in the preceding arcs, this one was used to really setup a grander story and got me quite interested to see where that story will go. They also turned Viszla into a somewhat sympathetic character because he's so steamrolled by Maul, which was an interesting turn. Of course Viszla is an evil guy in the end, but it just shows that the show got some actual emotions going this time around (an area where they usually drop the ball). Quote
Sir_Basil_Ashton Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I really enjoyed Eminence. There was so much going on and I like the way this episode was used to setup what will hopefully be two epic episodes the next couple of weeks. Quote
