With the above choices (and most of the discussion), I was mostly going by popular consensus, based on the best information I had to hand...though my personal favorite was indeed the Umbara arc (and come to think of it, most of the Clone Trooper episodes). In either ways, it was good but as I think we have consensus on, it wasn't perfect and it could have been a whole lot better.Ishal said:The umbara arc? Was that the one with the 4 armed alien jedi who hated clones?
The Nightsisters arc? Is that Ventress' arc where they make a new zabrak assassin? savage opress or whatever? and then curse count dooku?
Mortis arc with the father, son, and daughter... /facepalm (that one had potential but imo they fell flat on their faces with it.)
Gotta say all those were pretty terrible imo. But they don't touch the complete foolishness of the mandolorians and bring back Darth Maul. That whole series was trying way too hard. Ashoka is a not bad character because she is mary sue-esque, but because she was poorly executed. This seems to be a running theme with all things Star Wars lately. Get a great premise then fall on your face while trying to deliver it.
The Clone Wars was a good cartoon and I watched most of them, but I have to say i was disappointed by just about every thing they tried to pull. The blue shadow virus? The battle of Kamino? meh...
I think the Malevolence arc and the Cad Bane arc were the show's highest points. Actually, the bounty hunters were all pretty well done when I think about it, even if they were pretty campy most of the time. But hey, opinions. Even tho I wasn't a fan, I still wish it was around as well as Young Justice. Seems like so many good shows in animation don't get a fair chance these days.
hold on, let me put on my pretentious hipster hat. Okay. Tartakovsky's show may have been short and may have been a lead in to the third movie, but I feel it had more substance than The Clone Wars. Sometimes less can be better. Less is more, so to speak. I think Tart's show captured more of what was "Star Wars" from the prequels by being short, action heavy, and just, well, Gendy. The Clone Wars tried but it ran into its worst enemy, as so many other Star Wars things do, itself.
Oh, and the only "Pretentious Hipster" here really is the one you invent yourself. I am a believer of freedom of discussion (and more to the point, a different opinion is not a bad opinion). I also remind you I never said it was a terrible show at all, especially by the typical standards associated when one is doing anything deemed a "Kids Show". I have however felt it was Tart's weakest work, and I still stand by that.
However, OPINIONS! X3
