I like reading a good heated thrashing.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Anyways, I wonder if I shall make a retort? Would it matter? Probably not. Aw heck...I'll do it!   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> First of all, "Clone Wars" comes to us in a different manner. Its a different type of entertainment altogether. Just as different as music videos are to half-hour sitcoms are to hour dramas are to 3-parters are to feature films. These Clone War episodes are made to just give us a little slice of things that happen during the Clone Wars. They're not meant to tell us point for point like comic book issues would, or half hour cartoons would. These things are 3 minutes long each! They are more like little abstract occasional peeks into the Star Wars world. Quick, entertaining, vignettes of Star Wars.They're like little mozzarella sticks for us to nibble on till the main course arrives. So, expecting them to be full fledged hold your hand start to finish, A to B, stories is to misinterpret the nature of these 3-minute shorts. Interesting thing about Jedi and their powers are: many have different ideas on what qualifys as over-the-top or not. In one camp, we have people saying this is what they imagine Jedis are like at full strength. Then in the second camp you have the ones that say its too much...about the amount used in Attack of the Clones is appropriate. But, if Clone Wars is guilty of not making sense....then so does Ep.I and Ep.II -Phantom Menace: Jedis are shown to have bursts of super running speed. Yet, Obi-Wan doesn't use that power to go through the energy curtain to catch up and fight alongside his Master.-Attack of the Clones: Its been proven from ESB that Yoda can telekinetically lift an X-Wing. And that he is wise. Dooku ruptures a mechanical tower thing to fall on the prone bodies of Anakin and Obi-Wan. Which would be faster? Use force to pull/push Anakin and Obi-Wan's bodies out of the way? Or use A LOT of concentration and time on the heavier mechanical tower? Obviously wisdom back in the old republic meant taking that route that let's Dooku get away as well. If Yoda had just simply pulled the lighter human bodies out of the way, he could've had enough time to still stop Dooku. Force push him as he's running up the ramp....force sprint over and re-engage in combat......force sprint over and wack and engine with a lightsabre....geez...all sorts of things.-Oh....and how about I bring up Midicholorians? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Clone Wars also does some things that Ep.1 and Ep.2 never gave us. Remember this line? "He was the best star pilot in the galaxy." I'd say major feature about Anakin. Yet, the movies never show off how awesome he is at flying starships. Pods don't count, speeders don't either.....so I guess the only time we see him piloting starships is when he accidentally blew up the Federation Ship. Or...most likely in the upcoming third movie < when Lucas said, "oh yeah...I gotta show him fly really great and all - - I guess should've written a flying sequence in Ep.II for Anakin instead of Obi-Wan"....></blockquote>
