I think the clone wars are like 100 times better than the prequels. It's hilarious that the voice actors give better performances than A list hollywood actors too.

[Veef]

That's the 2d one where Mace Windu flies through the air like superman and kills giant ground stomping things right

[starku]

No he means the shit cgi one

[Aaron]

With obi wans plastic beard? Or the gay Hutt and Hutt baby?

[starku]

Yes that one

People say it has 'good battles' sadly it is not a documentary

[Veef]

everything is a documentary with SOD

[Aaron]

Obi wans beard is literal plastic, hurts aren't a viable species, they can only divide once.

[starku]

Maybe it's prosthetic after he lost it in a fight

He's more machine now, than man

[Aaron]

It's a documentary but there's no narration or indication of what we should learn.

[Darksi4190]

Well there is that bombastic announcer dude at the start of each episode.

[starku]

We should learn that 6 guys jogging over a flat landscape like beast wars is cool

Oh I meant the pt/ot.

[Darksi4190]

oh.

Honestly I completely agree with you guys about the character animation in TCW. It's downright awful. Which is weird because some of the 3d model work on the ships and backgrounds is downright beautiful, especially in the later seasons. That just makes the awful character details stand out even more. It's like they made a deliberate decision to make all the people they render look like ass.

[starku]

its nto uniformly awful

i've seen stuff that is good

but i saw that run through cave to wall of turrets ep

and it was really really comically bad

[Darksi4190]

Not sure what ep you're talking about.

[starku]

its one of those ones sdn was like OMG GOOD EP BECAUSE SETPIECE BATTLES LIEK IN TOTAL WAR BRO

it was excerably horrible

the best part is how much all the fatties hated the tartakovsky series for not being 'true' to star wars

now they like the cgi series for being as little like the horrible prequesl as possible :V

[Darksi4190]

You're going to have to be more specific. There were a lot of those.

I like most of the War-centric story arcs in the series like the Ryloth invasion in season 1, Geonosis in 2, and Umbara in 4, but I know you dislike the space WW2-ish nature of some SW battles so they probably aren't your particular cup of tea.

[F.J. Prefect, Esq]

Darth Maul's face is more animate than most of the actors in the prequels too lol

[starku]

dude space ww2 is fine

stop being defensive

ugly plastic never more than 6 guys onscreen at a time poorly directed inappropriate humour 12yo underpants ww2 is uh

fucking garbage lol

[Darksi4190]

Well, everybody firing on full auto and not hitting anything at like ten meters does get rather grating after a while.

[starku]

What struck me about the ep I saw was the technical limitations
Like squad of six guys is running

Some get shot oh no
So there's six guys in cover
Then they break cover and some die
And there's six guys with the Jedi
Then in a tense moment a bunch of heavy weapon guys shows up

So I guess there was a battalion offscreen but no money to render them

Ironically Lego SW ingam graphics = better

[Veef]

Maybe they should have combined 2d characters with 3d ships

totally works for anime right

The more stuff likes this happens, the harder it is to justify TEOs version of SW, its rather delicious.

[Veef]

They got Ackbar SLASHED

So I'm reading the Eisenhorn and Ravenor Omnibus' in preparation for this.

It looks like I have to order the Eisenhorn Omnibus from Amazon, but the Ravenor Omnibus is at my local bookstore. I know Eisinhorn takes place first, do they have to be read in chronological order to make sense, or do they just occasionally reference each other?
