Indiana Jones The Disappeared part I: it's an odd choice to pair up Mace and Jar Jar but I guess that was the point. The baddest Jedi motherfucker and the hated by everyone Jar Jar... Not too bad of an episode... Those guys were very Indian... The Disappeared part II: the titles are weird I'm sure they could've picked something better than part II... Also not a terrible episode. Can't really say which one I prefer. Idk this plot just didn't seem very Star Wars, more something from EU. Mace and Jar Jar were the only real Star Wars characters in it. That little faggot dude with the gundarks had the most annoying face ever... They did not beat the shit out of him enough. It was interesting they showed Jar Jar actually fighting people normally he just unintentionally harms people with his clumsiness... Well yeah I wasn't looking forward to watching these.. But I guess they're not that bad... Definitely the weirdest TCW episodes... But so what happens to Talzin at the end? It didn't seem like she willingly dispersed.. |

The Lost One: as is the case with most of the four part arcs, this first episode could've been a good standalone. I actually didn't realize the Jedi didn't know who Tyranus was... It's kind of frustrating how close the Jedi are to figuring it all out and even if they completely understand it there's nothing they can do because ROTS is the endgame.
Voices: Ki-Adi Mundi shut the fuck up about your Sith conspiracies with your traffic cone looking ass... Dumbest shit I ever heard... It was cool seeing Dagobah. So R2 has been there and he knows Yoda... I think Yoda remembers him in TESB and vice versa. But that was cool how they kind of set it all up for Yoda to be ready for Luke. The vision of course was nice. And now they know the name Sidious... Honestly this and the order 66 arc were probably the only ones that actually progressed the Star Wars story and gave TCW a point...

Destiny: huge acid trip. Yoda even jumpin on shrooms during the trip... But it was good I thought I'd have to call it the weakest in the arc but it's not. They're all good. At first I wished they didn't show Ahsoka but I guess it's fine. It made sense. I think they showed every Jedi from the show in the temptation part. I didn't notice before but even Tiplar or whichever one Tup killed was there.
Sacrifice: I remember being confused when I first watched it but I guess I get it now. But it can be hard to tell what's real and what's not.. I suppose that's what they were going for. Well yeah solid arc. I actually enjoyed it more this time. I think my favorite episode in it would be the Lost One because it had Anakin and Obi-Wan and was kinda normal but yeah I like how it went into the lore and whatnot. Like I said this and order: 66 are definitely the most important arcs.

And it's over... So, not counting the movie, it begins with Yoda and ends with Yoda... Not a bad way to end the series. They're planned ending was probably better but this was not bad. Even Ahsoka leaving would've been a fine ending because the show was kind of from her perspective and whatnot...Well anyway I ended up writing a bit of a "speech" during a previous post lol
But I decided not to post it then and wait until I was finished.. Well I might wait a bit longer...
I wasn't planning on watching the story reels but I guess I should since they're technically episodes... I've only watched both of them once so might as well. I think I will watch Bad Batch first though because it's kinda stupid... I'd like to end it all with Anakin and Obi-Wan. This is assuming I will easily find them online.....

The focus of the series, and really its biggest function was to give Anakin a relatable character and make his turn to the Dark Side more believable. But TBH it would have been much better accomplished had Ahsoka died. |

I think Kenobi is right, most of TCW did not progress the story of the Star Wars saga as a whole, the bonus content surprisingly did the most to that regard... |

But TBH it would have been much better accomplished had Ahsoka died. Well if you ask me I think movie Anakin going to the darkside is believable but TCW Anakin doing so is not. Idk maybe if the show had kept going after Ahsoka left they could've shown Anakin going down a darker path and having shit given to him again and again until he finally snaps in ROTS. They showed some moments where Anakin would have begun to lose faith in the Jedi, I think they should've shown that more and more obviously. If Ahsoka died I think that would definitely have had an impact on Anakin but I think her leaving has an even bigger impact. He feels that he failed her and partly blames himself but he also blames the Jedi because they failed too. This is the losing faith thing. I don't know if they would be able to have Ahsoka die in a way that Anakin would be justified to blame the council for it. |

The Bad Batch: would've made a great complete episode... I'll be saying that for the next 7 episodes. But is Rex smart enough to make an algorithm.... I don't think a Clone would be able to. They should've had Yularen or someone make it. Not sure why Cody was there but I guess they didn't have a commander for Mace since Ponds died. Would have been cool to see more of Cody since he didn't get a whole lot of screen time. And Jesse would've been made an ARC trooper... Why though lol. And honestly yeah I'm pretty sure ARC troopers are made not promoted but whatever. Anaxes would've looked very nice probably based on the concept art. Those red mushroom tree things... And the Bad Batch themselves... Interesting. I think Hunter and/or Jawbreaker wore Commando Katarn armor... Hunter had the same backpack as Gregor/Boss and both had the DC-17 rifles
But I don't think a Bad Batch really makes sense... The Kaminoans' gave all the Clones a vaccine but you know it actually reduced the Clones' individuality... After the entire Fives episode the last thing they would do is let defects run around the Galaxy... This also goes back to how it seems unlikely for Rex to have created an algorithm.
Another thing I will be looking out for in the next episodes is the music.. Did Kevin Kiner create new tracks after looking at the completely animated episodes or in this form? I felt like in this episode most of the music was reused... If score wasn't already finished when they were putting the story reels together, I doubt Kiner worked on new piecesfor them.

It's been a while since I last saw the Bad Batch reels (and I still haven't seen the last one  ), but I do think the music was all reused just like the Utapau episodes. I think it still fit in pretty well most of the time though... but it is a shame they didn't compose any new themes. |

A distant Echo: better than the last one. I liked that Anakin was in this. And oh yeah he and Obi-Wan were going to get the actual hands instead of the gloves/armor... Rambo Hunter is so badass that it's too much... Lol what's the point in knifing droids. Echo looks like a creepy Potato is Awesomeer... I don't know how much better he would've looked fully animated. But I guess watching these isn't that bad. Not being fully animated was one of the reasons I only watched them once but it's not terrible. Anakin almost looks like season 1 Anakin.

On the Wings of the Keeradaks: posted the wrong title for the last one Anyway pretty good. I wish they had Echo betray them though... I feel like they were foreshadowing that. I think it would've been more interesting. They could've mentioned Fives too... Unfinished Business: Appropriate title... Some inconsistencies though like in the first episode they had the old tactical droids but in this one they brought in the Kalani model. Also they had the new ROTS pilots but in the first one they had the old ones... And the Y-wings had the stripped engines as well like OT. Well yeah interesting arc like I said would've been very nice to see fully animated. Probably one of the better arcs of the show although Bad Batch was pretty cliche the sniper, the heavy, the brains, and the badass (leader)... And Crosshair stole the ricochet thing from Deadshot lol although he needed the special sticky thing because SW lasers would not ricochet like that.. I'll watch Utapau later. I can't believe it took them so long to make an entire arc with just Anakin and Obi-Wan.. |

A Death on Utapau: It was alright... Not as good as I was expecting from an Anakin/Obi-Wan episode not as much banter as there usually is... It was kind of like the Maul/Savage dynamic, Obi-Wan did most of the talking and Anakin just destroyed stuff. I guess he's mad about Ahsoka. Idk how Obi just jumps to the conclusion Grievous is involved because the only evidence is a droid with red eyes. Magnaguards aren't the only droids with red eyes, like Anakin said, and tbh not the only ones who can kill a Jedi. Also Grievous is not the only one who uses them, Dooku does as well and surely some Underworld guys have acquired them... Also when "interrogating" the droid I don't think they speak English... So that was wrong... And similar to that I think all Jedi can understand multiple languages either because they're Jedi and they're smart and learned many or they use the Force. It was weird how Anakin needed to ask Obi-Wan what the Amani dude said but I know it was for the audience. Well I hope the next ones are better... |

In Search of the Crystal: MUCH better. Honestly this was the funniest episode in TCW. Maybe not filled with obvious humor but it's funny if you can appreciate Obi-Wan's dry wit. The beginning with "I'll contact Ahsoka" was a bit forced (no pun intended..)... But I'm glad they at least talked about it. I liked how Anakin asked how Obi-Wan would feel if he disappointed him and he said he wouldn't sleep well or whatever.. I know they're reusing music but they could've reused an Imperial March bit there. Anyway the rest was good as well. Anakin igniting his lightsaber in the dude's face was a little violent and Obi-Wan didn't seem to care that much... And he does it again to kill the other guy... Bit of a cop out would've made things so much easier if they did that any time before... Anakin dual wielding those blasters was weird too. Guess he took a page out of Rex' book. And lol Obi getting mad in the ventilation shafts I don't understand how the ventilation systems are so big in the SW universe...
Well yeah great episode, exactly what I was expecting. Anakin is getting more and more violent. This is the same person that slaughtered those Tusken Raiders...

Crystal Crisis: Another good one but I think the last one was still better. More humor like you just knew the crystal would fall and destroy the cart I forgot Grievous was going to get a new model. I'm surprised they showed him cutting the guy's head off.. Maybe they would've changed it in the final. The ending was weird they ended on a shot of the governor's dead body...... And the credits had no music....  |

The Big Bang: maybe this and In search of the Crystal are the best ones. Yoda's little speech at the end was badass. Sidious makes a children's story come true with the Death Star... Yeah all the mentions about "the Sith Lord" are great they should've made an arc similar to Labrynith of Evil. But can Anakin and Obi-Wan just talk regularly without flirting in every sentence??? It's funny but I think it got a little too much at one point and "number 5 special"? Anakin please this isn't Rebels... Or Burger King..... But it's kind of cool how in sync the two of them are. I wish stuff like this was in the movies because it would've made Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting that much sadder. But yeah a great episode in a great arc. I wish this had been part of the bonus content. This was supposed to be a season 6 arc I guess in the second half though with all the new character designs. Second half must not have been as ready as the first. |

Well that concludes my TCW rewatch... I think I started season 1 and part of 2 a long time ago then watched Dexter and started commenting on each episode from the Geonosis arc. So I skipped a bit but whatever.. It was fun. I'll rewatch episodes from time to time as long as they're on Netflix but probably not for a while lol Honestly I gotta say TCW was like the best show ever. I know it's not live action with 45 minute episodes but I believe it's better than many shows like that. It had creative, well thought out story arcs, visually appealing scenery, great character development, and just the fact that it's Star Wars. Most cartoon shows I think are just there for money but TCW was more than that. I want to say that the crew strived to create a piece of art. Everything the team did had so much time and effort and money put in to it. It was definitely worth it. Sometimes I think about what my favorite show is. I've watched a lot but nothing really stands out as "the one" except TCW. I don't know why, maybe I'm being biased because Star Wars is my favorite franchise but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of TCW and every week after the 30 minutes were up I wished there was more. I don't think I can say that for many other shows. But yeah... TCW had a good run and I wish I could thank everyone who worked on it because the show has indeed impacted me. I didn't want to write that last line because it sounds like an essay for school... But it's true... I mean I wouldn't be posting this here without TCW . So RIP. I hope one day there is another show that is like this... |

Hi guys I'm back and with a rage post. I watched some of the Ahsoka panel and honestly it's making me so f'ucking mad we haven't seen the siege of Mandalore in some form honestly Disney just give us the damn arc and stop teasing us it's really annoying. Sure we liked the bad batch and crystal arcs but this is all anyone wants please I'm tired of this fucking bullshit fuck all of you we want this so bad sure we can guess what happened but I don't want anymore of the fucking hints through rebels just f'ucking give it to us already I want the actual arc in full animated form not in a book or some bullshit comic. Heck mauls prensece in rebels is so Annoying because it's a living reminder that we still have not seen the fucking arc! Ughh sorry but this is getting more and more annoying the more they tease

it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
