The idea of Clone Wars Die Hard was good but the execution felt contrived.<BR/><BR/>If Anakin really is one of the most powerful Jedi then the loss of his lightsabre shouldn't mean he turns into a complete pussy who was totally unable to take out a small handful of bounty hunters. I think this episode diminished the character of Anakin. If it was Ashoka in that role it would have made a lot more sense.<BR/><BR/>Bane was bad-ass and I was surprised at the brutality he showed, which were plus points in making the episode interesting.<BR/><BR/>Could have easily been a ***** but in the end I think a ***Dave Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814884084102033005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8324087685026014374.post-30826216335986181822009-03-27T14:00:00.000-07:002009-03-27T14:00:00.000-07:00Dug this episode a lot until the exact moment Ziro...Dug this episode a lot until the exact moment Ziro showed up.<BR/><BR/>When I heard about the character last summer, I was actually amused. I never thought of the character as gay (pondering the sexual mechanics/practices of fictional aliens is not something I do with my leisure time). I just thought he would look like a normal Hutt with a more "Capote-ish" face and voice. Instead, he looked like a tarted-up, two galactic credit hussy.<BR/><BR/>I should have remembered before seeing the film that humor + Star Wars - Harrison Ford = fall flat on face. It's not that the character sounds like Capote or is "gay." He's quite literally the Queen of All Gay Stereotypes.<BR/><BR/>Even worse, he's just not funny.<BR/><BR/>Now if Mr. Bane had shown up to kill him... That might have made the whole Clone Wars movie worth it.Jeremy Wicketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614746246278329837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8324087685026014374.post-34243164511142524922009-03-25T08:30:00.000-07:002009-03-25T08:30:00.000-07:00I like Ziro the Hutt, but you gotta understand Tru...I like Ziro the Hutt, but you gotta understand Truman Capote to get the character. Ziro was made to sound like him, really really gay. BUT Capote was a writer who wrote some very dark and disturbing books. So it's a contrast between comical and utterly disturbing that Ziro captures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8324087685026014374.post-4875464193802136942009-03-22T21:13:00.000-07:002009-03-22T21:13:00.000-07:00Eh.

They're just standalone episodes, no throughline, and I'm pretty much Star Wars-ed out at this point. No real need to stick with it. It's OK for what it is. I was a HUGE fan of Clone Wars when it premiered, now I'm kinda just thinking.....let it go already. Just be done with it. No more Star Wars for about ten years, then come back to it. Just. Too. Much. Already.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
