Star Wars: The Clone Wars/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 33:

** Cad Bane became one of the most popular characters in the series, as an [[Expy]] of Boba Fett with a cool voice, unusually sinister tendencies, and characteristics of spaghetti-western villains.

** Hondo Ohnaka is starting to become one of these.

** The mercenary Embo from "Bounty Hunters" was a [[One-Scene Wonder]] with acrobatics to make a Jedi jealous, a [[Nice Hat]] that serves as a blaster-proof shield ''and'' as a [[Precision Guided Boomerang]]. Despite being a relatively minor character in one of the less important episodes of the series, he's popular enough that he got his own action figure.

** Savage Opress is quite popular too. The fact that he's {{spoiler|Darth Maul's brother}} help.

** The [[Ridiculously Human Robots|ridiculously human battle droids]] are so funny that it's really hard to dislike them.

** The [[Ridiculously-Human Robots|ridiculously human battle droids]] are so funny that it's really hard to dislike them.

** A few of the one-arc villains are also quite popular. Riff Tamson and Commander Sobek are two good examples.

* [[Family-Unfriendly Aesop]]: In the "Citadel" trilogy, Ahsoka sneaks in with the team against direct orders not to do so, then lies about it, insisting that another high-ranking Jedi authorized her to go. At the end even though she does confess her lie to a dying member of the team, Jedi High Council Member Plo Koon covers up for her, saying that he did indeed sent her on the mission. So not only does she face no punishment or any consequences at all for her actions and lie (which Jedi aren't supposed to do anyway), she has adults covering up for her before authority. Make sure you learned this week's lesson, kids!

* [[Fan Dumb]]: In the tail end of the second season, Boba Fett shows up to wreak his vengeance on the Jedi with a team of bounty hunters. Still young at 12, his appearance continues the establishment of his presence in the prequel era begun in ''Attack of the Clones''. On theforce.net boards, his thread was filled with fierce flaming and heated back-and-forth exchange over the first image of him in the show, just released on the net. Several PAGES of posts were devoted to the fact that ''[[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|he was wearing a green shirt]]'', and how this was so very terrible since he had been wearing a blue one in ''Attack of the Clones'' a full year earlier in canon. It turned out he was not even wearing a green shirt anyway, it was a poncho over a gray jumpsuit.

* [[Fan Nickname]]: A few show up. Savage Oppress is Randy, Anakin is Mannequin.

* [[Fan Preferred Couple]]: Ahsoka/Rex (or [[Portmanteau Couple Name|Rexsoka]], if you wish) remains the most popular Ahsoka pairing, even though she has a canon love interest in the form of Lux Bonteri. This is probably because Lux is comparatively new on the scene, and Rexsoka was already well-established in the fandom before his episode premiered in Season 3. Karen Traviss and Karen Miller's [[Ship Tease|teases towards Rexsoka]] in the novels did ''not'' help things.

** [[Mentor Ship|Anakin and Ahsoka is a very popular couple within the fandom, as well Obi-Wan and Ahsoka]].

* [[Foe Yay]]: Asajj decides to strip off most of her outfit during her fight with Kenobi. [[All There in the Manual|Supplementary materials]] say that she gets pretty obsessed with Obi-Wan over the course of the war. His retort when she tries to distract him by throwing said clothes in his face? "You'll have to do better than that, my darling." They continue this "flirtation" several more times, but it seems Obi-Wan, at least, is being sarcastic.

Line 99:

** Pre Viszla deciding to engage a Jedi in a lightsaber duel was probably not the most intelligent thing he ever did.

*** He did it again in season 4 and almost shares Boba Fett's fate (malfunctioning jetpack, anyone?). In his defense, though, he did go straight for the "undignified execution" route at first. His quarry just happened to get free.

* [[What Do You Mean It's for Kids?]]: From the very beginning, the series has thouroughly averted both [[Non Lethal Warfare]] and [[Never Say Die]], and features some exceptionally brutal [[Family-Unfriendly Death|Family Unfriendly Deaths]], and some very dark, dramatic storylines, with subjects such as torture, slavery, and murder handled with aplomb.

* [[WTH Casting Agency]]: [[Simon Pegg]] being the voice of Dengar in the season 4 episode "Bounty". This is a man who's known for his hate for the prequel trilogy, special editions of the original trilogy, and ''The Clone Wars'' series itself, and he takes every opportunity he can to bash anything ''Star Wars'' post-1983, and the fact that he's getting ''rewarded'' for all his hate elicited this reaction from the die-hard Star Wars fans.
