Yeah, I lost track of the episode count. And, well I've noticed that Rive doesn't always have time for making the thread discussions, which is perfectly fine, so I took the liberty of making this one.

I liked this episode. I liked the way they portrayed Master Luminara, both her exceptional(sp?) lightsaber skills and her ability to "mesh" with whoever she fights beside. The only thing I didn't like was her voice. I thought the voice used for her in the animated series Clone Wars perfectly fit her.

Another thing that annoys me: Why is it that it seems like the clones never aim when shooting at their enemies? It looks bearable against regular droids, but Super Battle droids? I mean, they walk slow, in a line, and they're bulky as hell. I thought it was funny that the only time they showed them aiming was when the Commander Green shot the weapon out of the blue guy's hand.

EDIT: I would also like to mention something I noticed. When the two commandos are searching the enginge room with that droid, they call him by a nickname and the droid flips out. The clone's friend says, "You know droids don't like to be called by their nicknames." Which made me think of R2, and how he's perfectly fine with being called R2.


Oh, and the preview for the next episode, with Kit Fisto and his former apprentice looks amazing. I'm totally digging the jamaican accent they gave Fisto, mahn.

No. It sounds like the guy from Public Enemy. I don't want my favorite star wars character sounding like that. They should've kept the voice from the original clone wars microseries.

Yeah, the duel reminded me of the last duel between Anakin and Obi-Wan in RotS. Not as epic, but the atmoshpere and tone were very much the same.

The Coruscant Guard was cool. Same with the duel, though Luminara should have whooped that little whelp. Luminara is a master of Soresu. How did she lose to such an amateur that fast?

As always, check out the webcomic prequel if you have a minute. This week's is "Transfer".

I was distracted during this episode, but I liked the snips I saw/heard. I'll watch it again once I can find it online.

It sounded like Ahsoka tried to torture and/or strongly intimidate Gunray. Nice.

... He talked? I though he was silent through his whole episode?

The first episode in the second series. When they were discussing Anakin's promotion into Jedi Knight. Fisto just remarks on how he's an awesome pilot and that was it. To me he kinda sounded too much like a car salesman. Or a wall-street banker. Or maybe an inspirational speaker.

EDIT: And I noticed the number replacement in the title. Thanks, Rive.

I hate it how battle droids CANNOT hit enemies, even when they stand still metres from the droids. So annoying.

Even stormtroopers can hit from that sort of range. It's rediculous.

You mean "It's so annoying".  Wink

Droids were designed to win by the numbers, not by skills.

There a computer... there aiming skills should be better then any Clone. It wouldn't be hard to put that in there programming.. a lock-on system.

Only clones are cloned from Jango Fett. He killed like a dozen jedi in close combat.
