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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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?
