Not directly Clone Wars related (Ashoka's in it), but this is pretty fun:

And because of that, I must now destroy you.

It's really a downer to know that in probably as little time as a year, Anakin will go from rescuing people to charbroiling younglings on his lightsaber. It's a downer to know that he'll probably kill "Snips". It's a downer to know that, despite all she's done to help them, Aayla's clonetroopers will still mercilessly, and without hesitation shoot her in the back until she's dead. And then continue shooting her.

It's distressing that they want kids to see these fuckers as heroes. I remember playing Battlefronts 2, and it features the 501st throughout the Clone Wars. Towards the end of the game, they transition from Clonetroopers to Stormtroopers, and then, your missions start revolving around murdering populations of planets and abhorrent shit.

I'm sitting there like, "Man, this fucking sucks shit." It's gone from Star Wars to Star War-Crimes. Playing the bad guys has an appeal, I guess. But when the bad guys are being portrayed as heroes, then there's something wrong.

:lol: Missed this part of the thread before.
My son just turned 4 at the weekend he got this helmet as a present.
It's size makes it look pretty comical on him because he's so small but I look pretty good in it.
Regarding your point, he likes the jedi but for him the Clones are the Heroes of the series.
While playing with him with his toys he even wanted to recreate the executions of the Jedi at one point.
It's a little worring but as far as I can gather from him he seems treat it like they are good guys who get turned bad by the Emperor just like Anikan.

Looks great but it's REALLY hard to hear!

Can't wait for the DVD release, so I can actually watch season 1!

Wait where those some of Fett's people at the end?! :shock: Also did I spy a Durge cameo in this at 1:34? :-D I have to admit the dude who voices Sidious does an excellent job of channeling Ian.

I didn't see any musical instruments (I'm sure that's how Zechs would spell/read it). :P

Trailer looks good. This is one of the few TV series I try to follow.

Same trailer at the official site:

I don't understand why they didn't make a cartoon for after RoTJ? Casting it wouldn't have been a problem. Jebus knows Carrie Fischer isn't busy and Mark Hamill does nothing BUT voice acting these days. So of the trio the only one they'd need to replace is Harrison Ford. And then I wouldn't be watching a show where I feel like I'm routing for the future NAZI party.

I think the reason why is.. you have Thrawn, Mara Jade, and that's it. The stories about plan suck. But then again maybe George would feel he be stepping on everyone who isn't Zahn. Not that I mind. I rather see a Dark Empire revamped than have it remain what was in comic form.

People are too hung up on the Zahn stuff. Nothing says they need to rehash the books that have come before.

Tell new stories. Or different stories. It's a big universe. Luke and the gang could have had tons of adventures between the ones already written about.

But that's the thing. They have used a ton of adventures in that time period. It be very easy to step on something another person made while in Clone Wars you have very few things to step on.
