I still don't know how Dave let that Darth Maul book get released. The spoilery one? It did not get released on purpose... They had a preview up on Amazon or Google books... but the preview was different for everyone and the search function would show you sections that were not available to you... so it was all accidental... I was actually one of the people on SW.com who accidentally figured it out... Firebird was talking about how the book spoiled a death (meaning Adi Galia) but for me the preview showed the death of Vizsla... from there I found out about Satine's and Savage's and the end of the book through the search function... It was really pretty stupid and I kind regret reading it... I mean, yeah we kinda brought the Gallia death on ourselves with the preview feature but the actual book was released a month before the last three episodes of the arc. |

Oh yeah that reminds me, whose idea was it to make "A Sunny Day in the Void" the midseason finale? I mean honestly did they really think that would pump up any kind of hype over the month long wait?

Well, the preview that leaked all major deaths was released a few months before Revival aired... it actually leaked before the trailer, we did not know whether the leaks were 100% reliable or not until we saw the first S5 trailer. |

I think they were trying to make point of no return their 100th episode but the season 5 order got messed up for some reason so it wasn't. But yeah it's still in that same arc... But i think it's ok. When shows go on for a while, they sometimes "have fun" with some episodes. I think it's better to look at those arcs from a creative perspective rather than a storytelling one |

I wonder if George told them to keep putting in Jar Jar...
He may be the most hated character but if we keep making episodes around him, people have to like him! Mere exposure effect!!!

"What about the Clone attack on the Geonosians???"
I watched Landing at Point Rain. I know people were saying they wanted more full on battle episodes, which I agree with but maybe eventually they would've felt overdone if they made too many... That might've been the reasoning. But I can imagine another TCW movie for the series finale where they have LAPR style battle scenes on Coruscant. That would've been so awesome...

More of a missed opportunity than an actual complaint... but we never got a Grievous backstory. His first appearance (chronologically) is in "Rising Malevolence". There is no canon info on him anything he did before that. They showed a glimpse of his past in Liar of Grievous... but that's all we ever got. It would have been interesting if we had gotten arc from Grievous's perspective, with flashbacks, to tell his origin story. We could learn why he hates the Jedi so much, give him some legit reasons to fight for the separatists and show how he ended up being a cyborg and how Dooku recruited him.
It's possible they had something like that planned though... but we never heard about it.

It's possible they had something like that planned though... but we never heard about it. Maybe they could've made the movie about him instead of Jabba's son. Or just show his origins before introducing him in an arc in season 1. It is is a missed opportunity but actually maybe they felt it wasn't really necessary... It's just the enemy has a cyborg general nothing more to it. But yeah I would've liked a backstory. Even in 2003 Clone Wars there wasn't one but at least the coughing was explained. |

Wait were they trying to fit in to the 2003 show or did they contradict it at parts? I honestly don't remember.

Why did Cody become so irrelevant as the show went on? Probably to make it seem more feasible that he would turn on Kenobi so easily, to not make us get to know him as a character |

They should make a novelization for the citadel arc, they could write about the characters' fear and all the deaths so well...
But dude Obi-Wan said "we need to keep going" or "we have to move on" like 48482929 times... and kind of a bigger fuck you to the clones by giving Even an actual funeral instead of leaving him in the fucking hallway like the others.... No wonder they killed all the Jedi...

No wonder they killed all the Jedi... It pissed me off that Echo had almost no dialogue in his death arc. (I know he came back but that's not the point). Yes, it was a ballsy move and I give credit to the writers for raising the honest truth that deaths in battlefield combat are random, sudden, and often meaningless. But the fact that Echo had gotten to do so much in every episode he appeared in before but then he was basically an extra in the arc he died in just wasn't right. And also, if you don't pay close enough attention, a viewer might not even realize that's Echo until literally seconds before he died. |

Idk him not having a big role isn't really my problem with it, I just thought it was kinda dumb how the goal was to get to the shuttle but he drew the droids' fire towards it and caused it to blow up stranding everyone.... |

Oddly I'm okay with that. Not every death has to or should have meaning. Not everyone dies for a good reason. |

I was watching some deleted scenes... Looks like they had already made ARC-170s in season 2 even though they first showed them in season 3. Also they cut out a lot of cool Republic base scenes with Mas Amedda from the Mandalore arc. They looked really cool too bad they were cut although I think they would've sort of disrupted the flow..

I just watched that same video the other day.  The Mas Amedda scenes were all completed and it would have been very nice to see him talk some, since he hardly does anything on screen. I'm sure he's a very cool character though. |
