One thing that kind of annoys is when people talk like Barriss's random betrayal was somehow planned all along.

Like please tell me again that Dave Filoni had some master plan all the way back in Season 2 to introduce a cameo character (Barriss is not his creation she was there was a cameo) where she's depicted as selfless, compassionate, and a better Jedi than Ahsoka. Someone willing to lay down her life for others and face said death peacefully without any lingering trauma as she's fine the next episode.

Then completely forget about her for two whole seasons just to drag her back in S5 to be a purely evil villain because Dave needed someone to betray Ahsoka and he realized she was the only friend he'd given her that the audience remembered. Specifically because everyone liked her so much.

There's no arc here, no master plan, no convoluted character work, or tragic story of lost faith. Just a sloppy, hastily written arc meant to boot Ahsoka out of the Jedi before the show ended so she could survive Order 66. Just for Dave to have her circle back to the Jedi so she could directly survive it anyways.

Barriss wasn't (and still isn't) on some character journey. She was just a victim of circumstance.

Also no. Her acting calm doesn't mean that she was actually "repressed :(" by the meanie Jedi.

Watching Anakin haters use TCW as their main argument against him like:

That guy from your show sure sounds like he sucks glad my beloved blorbo Anakin Skywalker would never do that 😌

Hey, everyone, I wrote a thread about Anidala on Twitter. Feel free to support/defend/criticize it. It's mainly about the portrayal of Anidala in CW and TCW as well as the fairytale tragedy aspect of it.

Despite all the stories put into humanizing some of them it's actually incredible how the clone wars serves to objectify clones even more. The narrative itself - the writers - are either unaware or unwilling to address fully that they are slaves, that they did not truly ever have a choice, how their personhood was stripped from them before they were ever even born, that they were only ever really bred to be used for a corrupt man's war and to die, and in the times they do address it it's often superficial and often comes at the cost of other clones

me, doing my very best to cull the herd: the clone wars is just alright mostly with the occasional bit of great and extremely rare excellence

#tcw critical #it is lots of fun but i continue to seethe at people who say filoni is lucas' successor #as if that means anything lol they both are idiots half the time 🤣

It's so annoying when some of us, who dislike the TCW's take on Anidala, criticize Anakin's characterization in the series for turning him in this toxic, overly jealous and possessive guy towards his wife in a unnecessary attempt of Darth Vader forshadowing / making him more 'masculine' and complain about how all of this contradicted the way their relationship was previously developed in the Prequels, are called out by other fans for "not being true at all" because, according to them, the series episodes (like the ones from the Clovis Arc), were created just to affirm what was already shown of Anakin's behavior in the movies and they always use the Mustafar scene in Revenge of the Sith to prove their point.

And I hate seeing other comparing those scenes because it doesn't make any sense! The Anakin we saw in Mustafar is not the real Anakin. That was Anakin at his worst. That was a corrupted, manipulated, sleep-deprived and paranoid Anakin who was very high on the dark side and totally out of his mind. That was an Anakin who attacked his own wife, the only person who he still trusted, in a moment of blind rage because he believed she and his best friend were creating a plot behind his back to kill him (which not only wasn't true as his reaction was TOTALLY 100% UNJUSTIFIABLE and I want to make this point very clear). That Anakin was the result from years of fighting constantly in a war as a general at such young age, grooming, trauma and emotional and psychological abuse.

I'm not excusing Anakin's atrocities, nor trying to convince he wasn't capable of commiting unspeakable acts of violence. But I feel some people need to understand the circunstances of such extreme behavior. Yes, before becoming Darth Vader, Anakin already could easily lose the control of his emotions and turn into a killing machine as a consequence, but this used to happen only when he was put in situations of great stress and pressure and after being pushed to the limit (just take the Tusken massacre after being haunted by visions of his mother suffering and screaming in pain and later her death caused by a whole month of torture in the hands of her captors as an example).

Also, can this Anakin assaulted Padme in Mustafar because he thought she was cheating on him with Obi-Wan bullshit just be set on fire and die in a hole, for the Force's sake, PLEASE?! 🙄 (Yeah I know it was part of the original script at first, but it wasn't included in the final cut so I don't give a damn...).

#unpopular opinion but i will never be over echo leaving rex for the bad batch #and i don't mean i'll never recover i mean i'll never think it was a good thing #i think the writers probably did it to get him out of o66 without any other effort #and to put someone we already love in tbb show so we'd be invested in it #i think that's lazy writing and it didn't fit his character #and every time i see fanart of a goodbye scene i get steamed about it again #especially if it's in an au where other members of domino live and echo leaves them behind #no offence to people who do like that writing decision or enjoy the angst of the goodbye scene #y'all have every right to be enjoying the show how you want and engaging in fandom how you want #it's just that i personally hatehatehatehatehate it #tbb critical #tbb negative #tcw critical

Oh, this is tragic. I think TCW would have been a lot better with him on the Team.

A kind of funny thing about the Clone Wars.

Ahsoka's depicted as reckless, passionate (dangerously so), and is shown to sometimes act out of fear. Someone who struggles to control her feelings.

Bariss Offee meanwhile, is shown to be calm, poised, and disciplined. She has good control of her feelings and isn't prone to emotional outbursts or recklessness.

Yet the show would have us believe that Bariss falls to the dark side and becomes a terrorist while Ahsoka's never once strays from the light or struggles with the dark side, and that she even goes on to become either a chosen one of the Daughter (so the light side itself) or that she becomes the Daughter herself.

I'm definitely not having too many feelings about Rex and his ARCs, not at all. I'll one day even have the energy to make a full illustration to prove it too. But until then - more pose studies!

I love The Clone Wars series. I love the clones. I like both Rex and Cody. But since the very beginning of watching the series, I felt like smth was kind of off about them. Specifically, why do we have so much content about Rex? Why at least part of these clone-centric moments are not given to Cody? He was there first! He’s the only clone in the movies who has some semblance of characterization and he’s actually very important for Star Wars.

Like, the episodes about a clone deserter – why not give them to Cody instead of Rex? Why not use the 212th instead of the 501st? If you imagine Cody instead of Rex, the plot won’t change, the message of the episode won’t change – they both would have similar attitudes to the situation. But we would know more specifically about the most important clone of SW. And I’m not exaggerating this claim – Rex’s presence doesn’t change the movies narrative in any way. I’m not saying they should’ve cut him out completely – just divide some adventures between Cody and Rex.

Being a Filoni original character is very advantageous.
