you ever wonder why disney pulled clone wars from the air almost instantly in favor of the same show but not set in the prequels

Tezzora posted:

if the prequels were really very popular and marketable, then why was their cartoon unprofitable without the frogman bailing them out. a high budget? this is the world's most valuable IP. surely if this was a juggernaut belying its total lack of presence in the mainstream world, they could have produced a cartoon that looked good and didn't need subsidy

They should definitely make a pod racing movie (but not set on tatooine)

Why are these new movies avoiding using old alien designs? *Thrusts glasses up* By all canonical accounts there should be at least some twi'leks in that scene, and I would argue Muuns and Neimoidians.

Hey, if I can't nerd out here where can I nerd out?

No one character on the Separatist side is really presented as "heroic", in a traditional sense. They're a bunch of unsympathetic characters who start wearing the trappings of heroic Rebels, to contrast against the sympathetic characters on the Republic side who nevertheless start wearing the trappings of an oppressive Empire. It's a thematic statement about how the Republic is losing the moral high ground. The Separatists who show up on screen are still outwardly the same group of free market assholes from the last two movies.

The PT is told from the perspective of characters who are loyal to the Republic and don't start seeing the folly in the war against the Separatists until it's too late. We know from dialogue that the Separatists started off as a resistance movement against an increasingly corrupt Republic, but we tellingly are never shown any of these Separatists in the PT; we're only shown the big business representatives who cynically hijack the movement. This is how the viewpoint characters see the movement, and so it's also how we see it. As an audience member, you're not really supposed to viscerally sympathize with any of the Separatist characters until the moment when Anakin starts mercilessly slaughtering them as they beg for their lives. And we sympathize with them even though we know they're jerks, not because they're suddenly revealed to be decent guys.

The true Separatist heroes, the ones who are fighting for idealistic reasons, are all doing their thing off-screen. It's enough to know that they exist. "There are heroes on both sides" is flavor text meant to set the tone for the entire movie, which is about Anakin switching sides in the Jedi vs. Sith struggle for reasons that are, from his perspective, heroic. It's why the track that plays during the Mustafar duel is called "Battle of the Heroes."

The movie isn't really specifically about heroic Separatists, it's just one part of the equation to consider. The heroic Separatists don't show up until the next movie (episodically speaking), which begins the portion of the story which is told from the perspective of the rebels against the establishment, rather than the other way around.

If they don't get Ewan McGregor for this dumb movie then that just seems like they're trying too hard to distance themselves from those awful prequels. Ewan is a fine actor.

Clearly, we need less wings, since we've gone from six to four

Next logical step would be two, correct?

Yet the two-winged Z-95 Headhunter was already in TCW, so we need either one-winged or wingless designs
