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

Line 46:

** [[Darker and Edgier|The Umbara story arc]] just grew this beard to a whole new level.

* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]: Episodes 15-18 of Season 4 are about Obi-Wan going undercover to uncover a Separatist plot against Chancellor Palpatine. On January 26th, the day before the second episode in the arc premiered, Ian Abercrombie (Palpatine's voice actor) [http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/ian-abercrombie-elaine-s-boss-285386 passed away.]

** Also, remember the Father's warning to Anakin when he refused? That his selfishness would haunt him and the galaxy at large for refusing to replace the Father? Although at the time the episode was made, they probably were intending to mean the oncoming Jedi Purge, but after the revelation of Abeloth's ties to the Ones in the final book of [[~~Fateofthe~~ Jedi]]: Apocalypse, as well as what Abeloth did throughout that series, the Jedi Purge actually seemed not so bad in comparison.

** "Ghosts of Mortis" has Obi-Wan confront a Dark Side-turned Anakin Skywalker in the Well of the Dark Side, a volcanic crater. One can only imagine the thoughts running through Obi-Wan's head the [[Revenge of the Sith|next time he ends up in a similar setting with Anakin]].

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: The second episode of [[Mad TV]] has Gary Anthony Williams doing a parody of Count Dooku (or "Count Poo-Poo"). One year later, he is voicing Riff Tamson, one of Dooku's subordinates, on ''The Clone Wars''.

'''Garnac''' A valiant effort, little younglings. Especially you, Togruta. You'll be a prized trophy of my collection. }}

* [[Pandering to ~~The~~ Base]]: David Filoni acknowledged the negative reaction from the first half of the third season (which was focused on heavily on politics, trade blockades, bank interests, and stuff like that) and said that the amount of such episodes will be severely cut down.

* [[Portmanteau Couple Name]]: The ones that are unique to the fandom of this show are: Anisoka, Obisoka, Rexsoka, Luxsoka, Barrisoka... [[Launcher of a Thousand Ships|seeing the pattern here?]]

* [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: Jar Jar Binks. Yeah, you read that correctly, no mistake - [they successfully rescued ''Jar Jar Binks'' from the scrappy heap.

Line 92:

* [[They Just Didn't Care]]: What the crew decided to give the Jedi Master's name in the episode "Supply Lines".

* [[Uncanny Valley]]: Though most of the characters look exaggerated enough to not really fall here, Riyo Chuchi in the "Trespass" episode, when she is looking head on into the camera and speaking, you kind of have to do a double take.

* [[Villain Decay]]: General Grievous in early episodes was losing ''every'' battle and running away before his ship or outpost is destroyed. Acknowledged [[In Universe]] with "Lair of Grievous", where Dooku is unhappy with Grievous' decay and sets out to test him.

** ''Grievous Intrigue'' and later episodes, however, try to find a compromise of sorts; Grievous remains a nasty, menacing villain and a legitimate threat, but [[Dirty Coward|still runs when he feels that he's on the losing side]], and more of his menace comes from his being a [[The Chessmaster|Chessmaster]] rather than a full-on badss like in the 2003 series.

** He completely reverts any remaining [[Villain Decay]] in "Massacre".

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.
