Clone Wars season 7, thoughts? Hopes? Concerns? Predictions?

@In-sidiousvader Most people debate legends here anyway so I think you are ok

Ahsoka was "stripped of all rank and privilege within the Grand Army of the Republic," so she couldn't and didn't operate within the Republic's military to command or fight alongside the clones, and evidently had no contact with any other Jedi, either—not until the Siege of Mandalore, anyways. Judging by the season 7 arc previews, Ahsoka was still confined to Coruscant after leaving the Order, wandering around alone until she met the two sisters in the lower levels. The only reason Ahsoka is present during the Siege of Mandalore is that Bo-Katan sought her out and recruited her, allowing her to operate within the Mandalorian militia's operation. Nothing suggests Ahsoka was partnered with any other third-party organization until that point, or that she was going on solo Quinlan Vos-esque ventures with any degree of regularity.

I never liked tcw that much honestly. Although the lightsaber duels were pretty good, many of the storylines were terrible and felt like a bad copy of what was established in the EU. I’m not really excited for this season.

TCW never was a copy of the EU. Sure there were some references to EU material in the show, but it was never a direct copy. of the storylines. TCW mostly tried to be its own thing. And it failed in some areas, but it succeeded most of the time IMO

What about the nightsisters? And “moraband”? And the mandalorials? TCW contains a massive amount of elements clearly inspired by the EU, except it makes them worse. The episode where Mace Windu goes to that weird planet with Jar Jar made me despise this show. Of course everyone is allowed to have his own opinion, but I really do not understand why people like this show.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ahsoka actually gave Maul a decent contest. Season 4 of Star Wars Rebels proved just how retarded Filoni can be as well as the lengths he is willing to go to if it means making Ahsoka capable of surviving an encounter with Palpatine. Nothing surprises me anymore.

Most people who enjoy The Clone Wars are ignorant of the Expanded Universe or couldn't care less about the writers not keeping faith with it. There's a reason why fans more enmeshed with EU material are often more critical of TCW, but I'd say on its own merits, TCW makes for a competent mainstream Star Wars television show (which was essentially the goal), with good action, characters, and animation.

@King Joker
"Most people who enjoy The Clone Wars are ignorant of the Expanded Universe or couldn't care less about the writers not keeping faith with it". That is true, but when it comes to Grievous's portrayal in the show. That's when you see the legends fans and (even TCW fans) complain about how weak and kid friendly Grievous was in the show, as opposed to Legends, where he was essentially a killing machine. In fact the criticism got so big that even Filoni had to address it in an interview at one point. But yeh generally, when it comes to characters like Quinlan Vos or Asajj Ventress, only the die hard EU fans get pissed off when their backstories from those stories get retconned in the show. Grievous, I think is the only character where canon and legends fans agree that he was nerfed/changed big time in the show.

I know, and this isn't too long after she left the jedi order as well
She shouldn't be good enough to give Maul a good fight.

i mean, she gave grevious one...

I want to see it end with Operation Knightfall from Vader's POV. Not gonna happen, I am aware, but I want it.

Animated Son of Dathomir.  It was supposed to close out Season 6, IIRC.

In all your years debating SW this is the best idea you've ever come up with tbh. If only it could happen lol.

This forum is like a month old, if that.

@LadyKulvax SMH, I meant SW debating lol. I'm braindead.

DC77 wrote:I'm braindead.

Agreed tbh.

February. 

Ahsoka vs Maul seems interesting.

Hopefully Filoni gives us the real Maul this time or I'm out

Thoughts - I love CW more than anything in the mythos I guess (besides KOTOR). I am joyful even though it will be produced under Disney.

Hopes - This would be the same original script Filoni had in his mind and Disney would not interfere with anything.

Concerns - Stupid Disney's interference.

Predictions - They will make Maul shit, being outmatched by Ahsoka.

I doubt it. They're marketing the fight way too much for it to be as brief as it was in the novel. And what's been shown in trailers is already more than what we got in the novel.

And yeah, pretty much. E.K. Johnston had the preliminary scripts to work off of when writing Ahsoka, plus consultations with Dave Filoni. But that was three-to-four years ago, and the new season has already retconned Anakin giving back Ahsoka's original green lightsabers, so I'm sure the specifics of how the Siege of Mandalore panned out has evolved since the development of Johnston's Ahsoka.

That, and they got Ray Park back for motion capture.They wouldn't waste money on Ray Park if the duel was just going to be brief.

Good point.

Hmm.

Ben versus Maul was a great fight.
