I can see this leading to new ships pretty effectively. I mean, we're already seeing what looks like a new large ship with a turret or 180 degree arc and 3 Red. Plus a new female pilot and another Astromech Crewmember.

Last thing the game needs is more turreted ships, imo.

Looks like fun source material though.

That droid should be named R5-FU.

Did that droid say what I think it it said?

EDIT: That droid definitely swore.

I hope that's kinda Alpha type stuff....the sounds were hardly impressive.

The Inquisitor villain in the series pilots a ................ TIE Advanced, which could lead to the revision people have been waiting for

Well, they did bleep out his dialogue.

Watching that hurt me physically.

R2-D2: A Censor's nightmare

Frozen in spaaaaaaaaaaace.

Let it go

LET IT GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

THE SITH NEVER BOTHERED ME ANYWAY

Watching that hurt me physically.

Just as terrible as Filoni's other work…not surprised, but disappointed.

Is that the person who did Clone Wars? Style looks the same (and i didn't get through more than the first 2 minutes of that show either).

I don't understand why they can't do a realistic looking CGI show?

Try watching something other than the first episode of Clone Wars. At first very kiddie, but by season 2 its not kiddie at all. Unless you're comfortable discussing suicide terrorism and marxist ideology with kids.

Mandalorian arc is very good. You have to get used to the idea that the show is very critical of the Jedi. It questions the attachment = bad idea and the entire involvement of the Jedi in the war.

You must be joking. That was the greatest Travissty (get it) of the entire show. Compare the REAL Mandalorians of Karen Traviss to these sorry excuses and tell me which is better.

Needless to say I am very, very bitter about TCW. It had so much potential but then decided to devolve into a lame "oh look the spunky Jedi/fearless Clone wins again (except the Umbara arc, I did like that one) against the eeeviiiils of the Separatists" and not looking at the fact that it is a civil war, and both sides were in the wrong, and both were in the right.

Then we get to the slaughter of Star Wars canon (which the Mandalore arc plays a large role in) that Filoni brought on, and I mean he really messed stuff up, and you see why I hate the man and his show.

It's not that it was 'kiddie', it's that the voice acting was horrendous and the dialogue was terrible. Even having to listen to them talk for just a few seconds repulsed me. I've no inclination to grit my teeth and try to enjoy it because on top of all that, it's taking place in a "period" that holds absolutely no interest for me. I don't give a womprats arse about Nannykin Skywhiner or any of the lot. That's not what star wars is to me. The content isn't the issue.

To be fair, the scriptwriting was probably vetted by George Lucas. He's just terrible at it as well.

That's fair. I don't like Travis's Mandos. They're too EXTREME ULTIMATE WARRIORS fan factioney. She got kicked out of writing Star Wars for a reason.

As for the black and white morality, it's really not depicted that way. Sure Grevious mustache-twirls, but the whole point of many arcs is that the war itself is idiotic and the Jedi shouldn't be involved in it.

I feel like it is intentionally playing with the tropes. Play it out like the plucky hero straightforward angle like you say, but leave you feeling uneasy all the same. Something is amiss, but we're seeing it from the point of view of a side that DOES think it's black and white.

We see just enough to feel uneasy about the blithe acceptance of Jedi dogma, and I think that's the point. Hell, everyone who isn't a Jedi constantly makes convincing arguments that it's not so straightforward. The episode usually end with the doubters following the Jedi anyway. But keep in mind that we, the audience, already know that doesn't turn out well for anyone. It's intentionally playing with that dilemma. It's substantiality different from OT because you know it has to end bad. It muddies the waters even while the storytelling seems to show the classic good vs. Evil. But we know that 'good' is going to lose, so there is some sort of problem with their version of good.

I like Satine because she explicitly calls the Republic and the Jedi out on their BS.

Another good example is the Geonosisian Queen. I can't be the only one who felt like the Jedi's actions were excessive.

I disagree with you, but can respect your opinion on the show. However, Karen Travis's did not get kicked out, she left of her own accord because of several reasons. IMO, her depictions of Mandalorian society and culture etc. are much closer to the way they should be: think of this, the Mandalorians BY THEMSELVES brought the Republic to its knees and massacred hundreds of Jedi before Revan was able to stop them; they are supersoldiers.

And then nearly completely obliterated by the republic and left on the brink of extinction for millennia.

Regardless, I can see both points of view, but personally enjoyed the dichotomy between the death watch and the "new mandalorians."

I enjoyed the series for what it was. I probably would have enjoyed something closer in tone and telling to Empire Strikes Back, rather then Return of the Jedi, but it still told some good tales, and did, as mentioned, show the ambiguity of the whole conflict.

I watched this. And two things are happening to me at the moment.

A. A little bit of my childhood just died from watching that.

B. I almost pissed my pants listening to that droid cuss up a blue streak.

R5-FU That is so going on a t-shirt.

Agreed. Although TCW was not my favorite Star Wars piece, it did show some nice things. I like the idea of portraiting the clones as living beings, as well as showing the beginning of the 501st from a diferent perspective. I've watched all the episodes and some of them, even focused on strategic moves. I like how Ahsoka had to think in tree dimensions when commanding a star cruiser... it did make me understand Spock's quote about Khan... lol

Their treatment of clones especially, I love. It is nice to see them get some depth and breadth in the story, and it makes their forced betrayal even more poignant.

They did also have some great battles, and some very neat elements to them. I do feel like it matured well, and was far weaker when it started.

It may not be prefect, but its a far better offering then most of its ilk. Outside of video games, after the OT video has had a weak showing. And this is from someone who actually enjoyed eps 2 and 3.
