I was curious when the news that a new triology will be made was released. I do not think that my feelings are biased by the cancellation of TCW. Rather, from the impressions I received so far, my brain attributed to Disney the inability to create a triology that will attract my attention. So currently, this new triology is more like the place possessed by the dark side on Dagobah (episode 5)

Well...of course, there's still the option of playing with self-found items only That way, you can (at least start to) max you character :)

You maybe right. Although I can't seem whom's focus they want to draw on the upcoming movies, nor how canceling the show should achieve this end. Speaking for myself, what have they achieved so far? Basically, I'm still pissed. My stance on the Disney-Lucas-Deal has changed from "basically neutral" to "bad idea". My attitude to the new triology has changed from "willing to give it a chance" to "I couldn't care less". I hope you're right. If TCW doesn't get the end it deserves, my head won't be clear in order to deal with the new triology.

Well, they're soulbound. You took a good time for a time-out: trading has been suspended until the duping problem has been fixed. All items are soulbound. Trading isn't even possible via dropping.

Hmm...not official, but maybe official enough: "A call from Clone Wars Producer Cary Silver and our Supervising Director Dave Filoni, letting me know that for all of us, the Star Wars journey would be coming to an end. After nearly a decade of production and five seasons on the air, “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” as a television show, has been cancelled." Source: http://www.jamesarno...s_Thoughts.html So let's face it: EP II and II in 3D...postponed indefinetly. Star Wars 1313 canceled, Detours postponed or canceled. It seems that Disney brings all current projects to a halt in order to promote EP VII.

Well, I find it hard to see which part of the statement you habe doubts about.

Just in case anyone wants to express that TCW shouldn't be canceled: http://www.savetheclonewars.com/

I have to admit that I'm a bit pissed. First, I don't like how the whole issue is communicated. Personally, I'm not very excited about the "new era focused on the next Star Wars trilogy". Furthermore, I don't see any logical connection between this stated "fact" and the decision to "pursue a new direction in animated programming", and this connection is not made explicit throughout the whole statement. That's bad, because the reason for the cancelation of TCW is to be found in this connection and nowhere else. Then, another arbitrary logical connection is created: "After five highly successful and critically acclaimed seasons of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, we feel the time has come to wind down the series." First, if the five seasons were highly successful, that's not exactly a good reason "to wind down the series". Second, how exactly did the decision maker arrive at his decision? He realized that there were five highly successful seasons and then, out of the sudden, he felt that the series had to be winded down? If I am supposed to believe this megablocks, then I am supposed to be an idiot. The logical connection in this sentence is, plain and simply, an intellectual insultation, and that's why I'm slightly pissed. On more subtle level, what's said here, is, "TRUST US! We were able to create five highly successfull seasons of TCW. It's time to wind to the series. Really. We feel it's right, so trust us." And that's the point: I don't trust them - those who are in charge. I do not believe that the end of the series will get the time and effort it should get in order to make certain events shown in the PT more intelligible or plausible.

Indeed. Basically, Anakin's turn was explained psychologically rather than explaining how the dark side changes and maybe consumes the "user" of the (dark side of the) force.

That sounds unsatisfying. What does the expression "going into Spaces" mean?

I hope it's indeed just a rumor: Ended The Clone Wars Have If not, I really begin to dislike Disney.

Ok. At least your freebie mule works well.

Hm. I think I will need to sort some things out :) Have you been able to access your mules in between btw.?

Yes, that's the official information. I came to realize that mule storage space may be limited, so I wondered what kind of items you guys keep and which you don't keep. Do you keep any/most of the t10/11 items you find or not? Are there specific t8/9 items you keep and if so, why?

No problems so far. But my mules were created before march 3rd 2013 anyway.

Ok. I just got my second white bag in the game and I got it with the same character Unfortunately, it was just an emmy from the first boss of the Cemetary

CG! I got one white bag so far as well, but from Asp...whatever...the demon from the Abyss.

From Barriss perspective, she committed no treachery. What she faces is a classical moral dilemma: She arrived - for whatever reasons - at the conclusion that it's the Jedi Order who's responsible for the war, that the Jedi Order has become something different than an order of peacekeepers, namely a tool in the hand of the dark side, and that ultimately, the Order's action will lead to the failure of the Republic. In this situation, she has two options: she can do nothing, which means that the Jedi Order and the Republic will fail - it's only a matter of time, as she said. On the other hand, she can do something. Of course she could have tried to talk things out. But the point is that she is in no position to influence the current course of the Jedi Order and the decisions of the Council. Her statement made very clear that she doesn't perceive herself as a traitor; she said that her attack on temple was an attack on what the Jedi had become. In order to do so, she had to give up her identity as a peaceful being as well, but to her, this is, so to say, the lesser evil. (To summarize this point up: she can do either nothing which means that the Jedi Order is doomed, or she can act which means that she is doomed. That's precisely the dilemma she was facing.) So rather than trying to change the current course of the Order from inside, she created an event in order to create external pressure from the outside: the Council is forced to realize that the public perception of the Order and its actions has changed. However, she acted to some degree selfish as well in trying to hide the tracks leading to her being responsible for the bombing, and acted somehow reckless when she said that Ventress' lightsabres suit her well.

Yeah. One knows it's not worth the risk, but somehow, one gets carried away. I know the feeling, happened to me one or two times as well. Now, I start nexussing early enough no matter what, and I hope that I won't get carried away ever again.

Barriss confessed her responsibility for the bombing. She didn't confess killing Letta. She may have been responsible for Letta's death, but this point wasn't clarified. On the one hand, it was mentioned that the Jedi who did Ventress must have decent sneaking- or hiding skills. On the other hand, I find it hard to swallow that little Barriss became so powerfull as to ambush Ventress and defeat Ahsoka in direct combat. All in all, I find it hard to believe that Barriss could get into the prison without help from military personal.

The Council had no options. If Ahsoka was not expelled, it would have been open for attack: Tarkin could have accused the Council of protecting the saboteur against prosecution and plotting against the Senate. However, by exposing Ahsoka to a public trial and by proving her innocense, it was shown that the Council was wrong in expelling her from the Jedi Order. In other words: what Palpatine achieved is to make apparent an error of judgement made by the Jedi Council. And he made apparent that a coherent Jedi Order no longer exists, since members of the Order began to turn against the Order.

The whole arc was great, just a few loose thoughts on the last episode: The Senate demanded that Ahsoka should be expelled from the order. Windu resisted officially, but said that the Coucil should avoid opposition to the Senate. Thus, the Council gave in to an external pressure: in giving up their own standards, they gave up Ahsoka as well. Anakin was right to say that, "this meeting is just a formality". Ultimately, the Council's decision was driven by fear or at least uncertainty. (Behind Palpatine, finally Royal Guards appeared.) Palpatine said the truth when he said that this was just another scheme to rip the Republic and the Jedi Order apart. He knows that Ahsoka's trial before the Court is part of the scheme, while others don't. I like this irony (= the fact that he can say in public what he's doing, simply because his true identity as Darth Sidious is unknown, something he did in a previous episode in, if I remember correctly, Season 4) and the way how he plays with the truth, just like Dooku played with the truth when he said (in EP 2) that reason for the emergence of the Seperatist movement is the fact that the Senate is controled by a Sith - which was true, while Yoda supposed this information to be just another lie. Consequently, Barris was correct when she said that the Jedi are responsible for the war (against the Seperatists). She was correct as well when she said that the Jedi Order became an army fighting for the dark side, and she was correct in saying that the Republic is failing, and that this is only a matter of time. edit: Oh, something I forgot: I found interesting that when Ahsoka departed from Anakin, the same musical scheme was played as in EP 5 when Luke departed from Yoda. And in both themes, the motive of understanding was invoked.

I was there two times with just one other player, and we couldn't finish this level, which really sucked. Has BD rage quit again? He was silent so far
