Clone Wars

I sort of watched it. I fell asleep during the first, and the second, but taped them. Son #1 watched them both and said they were good. But he is easy to please.

I caught them on Sunday. I liked them. If you can get pass the teenage jedi, it's not too bad. They're better than Episode I-III, in my opinion.

I've watched bits and pieces of them again. Still haven't watched them beginning to end. The odd thing about watching them in bits and pieces, I find myself compelled to sit down and watch them because the stories do look interesting.

Oh, son #1 did have one complaint. He said they were, at 15 minutes, way too short. I don't know if they were 15 minutes, or more look 20, but the point remains. Seems like there was as much commercial break as there was show.

[Captain Pogue]

I agree with the time issue. The second one they showed has a second part this week, I believe. I only have two complaints, the pop culture teen jedi and the stupid dialoge of the battle droids. Other than that, I could see running a Star Wars game like that.

Yeah, and there I was again flipping through SW RPG stuff at the bookstore. I have to admit, the Force Unleashed stuff looks really cool. It would appear they have rules for playing droids, which, if I couldn't play a Jedi survivor (waiting to be offed by Darth Vader & co), would be a tempting choice.

Haven't stopped to watch one yet. I suppose I will, but since my interest in Clone Wars (the movie) waned, I'm not sure if I would stick with it.

I did catch an episode of the Spaceballs cartoon. *coughs* That was...interesting. (still digesting my thoughts on that)

Ok, finally watched them both, and... I really like them. The opening with the newsreel voice over is a great way to set up the action. The planet Yoda confronts Asajj Ventress on is really cool. And... the way the jedi in both episodes treat the clones is brilliant. I particularly enjoy Yoda's pep talk to the clones he is in company with. That was a refreshing Star Wars moment.
