Guys it's imperative to me that you stop missing the point of the slavery argument.

Can we talk about how inconsistent Bo Katan was as a character? Like she goes from a willing murderer to suddenly having a conscience

It's funny because on one hand the show bends over backwards to make sure anakin never meets grievous all because of one line in the movie. On the other, they have no problem making anakin and obiwan fight dooku multiple times despite the movie inferring they haven't fought him together since episode 2.

edit

for nearly a year you guys have been trying to war with me over the wrong line. "My power has doubled" has wiggle room. "This time we will do it together" does not. If we take clone wars as gospel, and this really is just another Tuesday for them, then Obi Wan really has no reason to say this. And trying to recontextualize it as light hearted banter is dumb because McGregor delivers it with annoyance. He really would have nothing to worry about at that point in the timeline. If the showrunners were willing to hurt their brains keeping Anakin and Grievous separated, then it wouldn't have taken much more work to have their encounters with Dooku be one-on-one.

This is gonna piss off a lot of people. Including me. Can't wait.

I think the biggest problem with clone wars is the fact that it wasn't planned out. It wasn't written with the end in mind, and instead of building up a cohesive narrative like something like ATLA accomplished, it was just sort left to meander randomly from one neat idea to the next without any connective tissue to tie it all together.

I can't wait for you to talk about General Grievous. He was originally a sort of tragic villain. His original accident was secretly caused by the Separatists, and during his reconstruction surgery they gave him aggression implants against his wishes or knowledge.

Despite this he maintained a sense of honor and would allow clone troopers to live if he felt they fought bravely enough and it wouldn't ultimately affect the war by doing so. He struggled against his aggression spikes and wondered what was ultimately done to him on the surgery table.

His hatred for the Jedi was justified since the Jedi sided with the species that enslaved his race and killed his mate during their war so after becoming a cyborg he hunted them and collected their lightsabers.

They turned him into a boring static mustache twirling incompetent buffoon.

Thanks Dave.

Bringing Maul back from the dead actually WAS shocking and interesting at the time and Maul was completely underutilized and in doing this they gave him a lot more time to establish himself as a character. Unfortunately… every character now lives through lightsaber wounds and it cheapens everything.

"She should have died on Malachor" goes hard as a Kotor 2 player

“We’re gonna give him a Padawan so he can learn how to deal with attachments.”
So the Jedi assigned a younger then normal padawan to a younger then normal Jedi knight in an active war. I’m like 90% sure they expected Ashoka to die so Anakin would feel the pain of loss. The more you think about it, the worse it gets.

The Last time Ahoska saw Bo she burnt a village in front of her eyes. Why would she help her.
Plus it was Bo who helped bring Maul to Mandalore in the first place

Something that I wish the show touched on more is the fact that clones are slave child soldiers literally bred for obedience and war. You would think that Anakin would have more of a problem with that.

Also I wish there was more exploration of the mirror relationship between the clones and droids. Both are mass produced and considered expendable. Their creation is artificial and purpose is solely for war. Both are sentient beings (idk if it’s canon but the droids in Star Wars are certainly presented as such) yet have no freedom.

I still haven't forgiven Clone Wars not giving us Durge just because he would of been a nightmare to animate in 3D.

The show pulls basically every trick in its arsenal to make sure Anakin doesn't meet Grievous just because of one dialogue. Also the show seems absolutely obsessed with making Grievous this mustache twirling cartoon villain to the point where it throws basically all of his backstory overboard.
I always thought the movie does try to reference the cartoon Grievous. I mean, why the hell would he warn Obi-Wan that he's been trained in Jedi arts when they fought before multiple times. Also the coughing clearly refers to Grievous being force crushed by Windu at the end of the cartoon.

The 2003 series feels a lot more consistent with the movies tbh.  It doesn’t have Ahsoka in it, but rather focuses more on how Anakin and Obi-Wan’s master-apprentice relationship develops and Anakin being rushed into knighthood.  It connects Anakin’s character in ATOC and ROTS much more organically.  Not to mention the superior grievous

I’ve ALWAYS felt that way about Anakin’s character in The Clone Wars being completely different from Hayden’s portrayal, but I’ve never heard it articulated before

Clone wars really did Luminara dirty huh.

Back in legends she was actually really chill and she and Barriss were much closer. Luminara shared a lot of the cultural heritage of their species with her student and admitted that she sometimes treated Barriss more like a daughter than as an apprentice.

Side note, did no one think it was weird that Barriss was aged down so much in TCW? She looks very different from her film version.

This has made me realize more and more that I no longer care about objectivity in media and I'll just stick to liking what I like :D

Kind of awkward how Anakin got freed from slavery only to end up a novice in an institution where he constantly has to refer to his superiors as "master."

I’m convinced at this point that all of the clone wars era villains have obi-wan’s number and just call him or shoot him a text any time they get bored before constructing an excuse scenario like a battle or a plan to take over a group or place to give a reason for their fight.

Obi-Wan: "I'm sorry Anakin but we simply can't stop by Space McDonald's to get you a Happy Meal"
Anakin: "..."
