When are they gonna stop doing the Clone Wars era and starting going to the Old Republic era or the post RoTJ era?

This has been my issue since the second Clone Wars TV series started. I'm tired of the era tbh.

I didn't really mind the Clone Wars TV series because even I wanted to know what happened in-between

But it's like come on now, expose people to other things in the SW universe instead of milking this era

[Cainhurst Crow]

I don't think this counts as a clone wars era story, considering it is post clone wars and all.

I would rather see an expansion on the republic dark age, or any of the times between the already established ages, seeing as how there are massive gaps between big events in star wars that could be filled with newer, more original content.

Well to be honest, the basis of the series seems to be: "The Force Unleashed was a ****awful Rebel alliance origin story, let's retcon that and make a new one and set some seeds for the new movies"

Propaganda will also play a role in the stories.

huh? since when has the Roman alphabet existed in the Star Wars universe?

Isn't the entire saga supposed to take place "long ago in a galaxy far away," in other words, long before the roman alphabet was developed here on Earth?

I sort of gave up on the new animated series the second they did the revival of Darth Maul; I mean you have two half decent now considered non canon rebirths and yet they pick that one to make as canon?

Bleh its partly why i have been growing more and more distanced by the EU these past few years.

Not to mention the portrayal of Mandalore and the Mandolorians in the show it self which caused the half decent Clone Commando Novel series to be canned due to the shows retconnning.

The return of Darth Maul is one of the best things that ever happened in the series. We saw Darth Maul as a more human figure, he proved a competent villain, and we got to see more of him in action. Maul should've never been "killed" in The Phantom Menace. It was premature. However, his survival opens up lots of possibilities, even now. Have you seen the Season 4 finale? Or the Season 5 Mandalore arc? Those were some of the best arcs of the entire series.

As for the portrayal of the Mandalorians, it was only the Mandalorians living on the planet during the Clone Wars. It says nothing about all the other Mandalorian mercs living across the galaxy. Besides:

*SPOILERS*


They don't last long.

If nothing else, at least see the Maul/Mandalore arc of Season 5.

Yea, tbh I actually liked the return of Darth Maul

*SWTOR Sith Assassin is based on him*

[GreyLycanTrope]

I liked the Manadlore arc but I don't get the appeal of Darth Maul in general. Sorry Ares.

That's Your perspective not my own.

Besides there was already enough Lore out there to flesh out the character, them giving him prosatic limbs and climbing he survived through hatred is all fine and good; its just there was already a superior rebirth and death of maul out there.

My own personal favorite Rebirth of Maul occurs in a non canon comic book in which he duels and ultimately perishes at the hands of Darth Vader in a assignment assigned to the Sith Lord by Palpatine.

And as for the Mandolorians...You have a culture the predates the founding of the Republic, its a warior society, a culture entirely revolving around conquest, familiy and society.

For that to be split from them is for them to cease to be what they were called.

And to make "Death Watch" The only true Mandolorians was just insulting.

The extremist faction of the Mandolorians shouldn't have to wage war on their own people for them merely to embrace what they have been for 30,000 years.

They can if their people have turned away from the Mando'ade. Societies on our own world are very fluid and can change trememdously. Society in general has change on our world. A century ago, most European countries and even the U.S. were empires and militaristic. China didn't have a communist government. Russia was still being ruled by an autocratic regime with most of its people living as serfs. So on and so far. Jump to the present and the world has changed exponentially. 

And who said the Death Watch were the only "true Mandalorians"? There are still Mandalorian mercs out there in the galaxy. Death Watch is just an ultraconservative faction that wants make the Mandalorian people (as in, the people living on the planet Mandalore) to revert back to the previous way of life.

Cultures change. Death Watch is some ultraconservative faction that wants to revert the Mandalorian culture to how it once was.

As for the Maul story you're talking about, that's actually canon. But the Vader isn't fighting the original Maul, but a doppelganger.

I disagree completely about "other superior rebirths". In fact, while I understand what you mean, this isn't a rebirth. This is a case of Maul surviving the duel on Naboo. This is a continuation of his story, which was cut short in The Phantom Menace, which it shouldn't have been. While yes, there are novels and comics that flesh Maul out back before the duel on Naboo. However, Maul's story in TCW develops his character even more and actually shows him in action again. Instead of reading about him, you're actually watching him. To me, the fact that Maul got more screentime with the TCW episodes is a crucial difference, you see. Like I said, Maul's story was cut too short and should've gone past The Phantom Menace. At last, with his return in TCW, we got the chance to see Maul on-screen once again and past his duel on Naboo.

So what makes the mary-suedalorians so good?

[AresKeith]

Did the Clone Wars series even show that Maul can become force resistant?

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

So which Season/Episode is this?

I want to watch some of the good episodes in Season 4 and 5 (not the whole thing). Introduce me please.

[Cainhurst Crow]

Season 5, episodes 2 through 5 are good imo. Episode 14 onwards are also good arcs imo, episode 14 is also the start of what leads up to that crowning moment of badassary.

GOD YES. Season 5 Episode 12, I believe?

[Cainhurst Crow]

The entierty of season 4 had really good episodes, it was honestly a solid season of quality. But the most stand out arc was probably episodes 7 through 10.

Oh, yes. That was a very cool one. Although that general was pretty messed up.

I'd have to disagree with you there. Maul should've stayed dead.

The depiction of Mandalore (the planet) is entirely wrong as is the depiction of Mandalorians. They literally trampled on their own continuity.

I disagree. It was best that he stayed alive through his whole ordeal on Naboo. Maul is a character with too much potential to just be killed in one movie with a few lines.

It was retcon and one that I'm fine with. Besides, it seemed to convince Karen Traviss to finally leave the Star Wars novel writing business.

 Alright, this is old news, but I thought it was worth brining up.

Good to know that they're paying attention to how they write the female characters. Given the praise that Greg Weisman also gave to Ahsoka Tano, I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up as a character in the series.

God, kill me now.

PS: By the way, God, that's a bit of an expression. I'm not that eager to die just yet.

Don't know why you're upset. She was a pretty good character, albeit under-powered and in need of saving a lot.

There's new information about the Inquisitor.

"He's able to tap into people's emotional weaknesses as well as their physical weaknesses." (Kinberg)

Very interesting.
