Begun the Clone War Has
So, after watching Episode III and having countless people all over the Internet tell me that General Grievous was totally lame in ROTS and that he was way more roxor in Clone Wars, I decided to have a look at it. I’m assuming I’ve downloaded the entire thing (volumes 1 and 2) since Episode III is out and the Clone Wars have finished now.
Anyway, I watched the first AVI. It is really, really well done. Massive battles are great. The only problem I have with it is the incredible gosuness of the Jedi. I mean, we all know Jedi are great, but Mace Windu crushing an entire army of droids? And then a few minutes later, we get four to five Jedi getting owned by General Grievous. Of course, General Grievous is much cooler, what with the saber in the foot and just ripping through the Jedi with his feet.
I did find Asajj Ventress annoying. She’s like Aurra Sing with Anakin’s “I’ll be the greatest Jedi on earth, I’ll show you all!! attitude. Not cool, especially when she’s like “HUR, I’m a Sith!” and proceeds to get whupped by Count Dooku. And then she dies in about half an hour, getting killed by Anakin. Nobody learns in this galaxy that it’s always the old men who completely crush the young ‘uns.
The other weird thing was the voices. I understand that they’re probably not going to get the actors in just to voice the characters, but man did they sound weird. Especially, Palpatine/Sidious. He sounded way off.
It seems like the Clone Wars is all about one side really getting it and then having the tables turn on them and back and forth like so: ARC Troopers own droids, droids jousting own clones, clones jousting own other droids, Mace Windu owns entire army, Grievous owns Jedi. I guess it’s too quick and action packed to have both sides fighting evenly.
