Well, they actually got a 4th episode into this D-Squad arc. Wow. I read the above posts to this topic, and i know some people agree with me that this season has been a huge disappointment. Don't get me wrong, I loved the Onderon rebel arc, at first it seemed too long because I was waiting for Maul. But trust me, re-watch the rebel arc (in one sitting for best results) some time and I'm sure you'll see the great writing and aspects of that arc. Besides that arc, UGH. The younglings- so many issues in that arc that pissed me off. At least here are two examples of bad writing that really hit me in the face: There is a droid teaching Jedi? Are you kidding me? Next: one of the younglings was having trouble building her saber, yet when asked by Hondo she was able to perfect it in a matter of seconds. Anyways, it's cool to see side stories during the time of the Clone Wars, and seeing one including the lives of Jedi younlgings is cool too. But a 4 episode arc? Definitely pushing it with that many episodes. Now, the D-Squad arc. This post is long enough to explain my feeligns so I'll try to keep as much as I can to myself. From the first episode til the end, I was given a "Pixar/Toy Story" feeling from the characters and dialogue. I absolutely love Pixar stories, and especially Toy Story. But this is Star Wars, which is something that sould not remind me of Pixar movies. These astromechs put up great fights towards battle droids with blasters. They all act on intuition, which is something we should only see from R2. Gascon was beyond comic relief, he was nearly a shadow of Buzz Lightyear. So many more annoyances I will keep to myself, again due to the length of my rant. So, they make this a 4 part arc. It was quite disappointing waiting week after week to see these very goofy characters. I want Star Wars, not something the seemed like a stand-alone scifi Disney cartoon movie (which would have been a cool little story if it was indeed a unique Disney cartoon, it just wasn't Star Wars). Making an episode like this arc would have been a fine break from the stressful times of the galactic war, but seriously, 4 episodes?? That was too much, and I couldn't be more excited for the next episode because this D-Squd arc is over! Please respond and compare my feelings with yours regarding the Onderon, Youngling, and D-squad arcs. I haven't found too many boards that complain and praise this season. Look forward to talking to you all! -JD
