Hey, has anyone else noticed Yoda in Lawless? He looks better animated (and kinda older)

Seems like an interesting new arc. So far the story of this new arc looks promising and packed with action. At http://starwars.com I've just seen two new preview clips of The Lawless. It looks good so far. Nice to see Obi-Wan wearing the bounty hunter outfit he wore in season 4 (as Rako Hardeen). Good way to aquire the Mandalorian armor too. I would have thought these warriors were a tiny bit smarter.

I totaly agree. Let's keep our hopes up.

Everybody, I feel I must share something with you. Most of you here may have already heard about this. It’s about The Clone Wars moving from Cartoon Network, to Disney channel (or Disney XD, I guess). Yes, according to these links; http://comicbook.com...artoon-network/ and http://comicbook.com...d-to-disney-xd/ it might. Ok, why should this concern us, you say? Well, we all know how TCW, while animated and intended for the younger audience also, tends to show some of those darker episodes. We’ve seen this, as the series progressed from one season to the other, it gets a little darker and it makes sense, given that they are nearing Revenge of the Sith. We, who are Star Wars fans, don’t give if they get darker or not. So, I guess George Lucas and Dave Filoni are not stupid, and once in a while they show arcs that are meant for the younger audience. (Young Jedi arc, Droid arc, S04E05, 06, etc.) However, with arcs such as the current one, I don’t know how the show will survive on the Disney channel (providing ofcourse it’d be the Disney channel that will follow with TCW...). Now, you might ask why not? [=The Clone Wars not surviving] I’ve seen what happened to a show, a great animated show much like The Clone Wars. It’s about Tron Uprising. Ok, I’m not going into this show right now as this forum is for The Clone Wars. But I must use it as a reference for simplicity’s sake. I’m a big fan of both Tron and Star Wars and I love that they continued their stories through Tron Uprising (from now on I’ll refer to it as “TU”) and The Clone Wars respectively. As I’ve mentioned before, TU is a great animated show, just like the TCW, intended for both young and , well, less young. ^^ There are fight scenes of course, and there are those plot based episodes. Now there is the problem. Disney feels that this show doesn’t attract the younger audience too much and over the course of last year, has changed its timeslot at least three times (The same Season!!!) without some Ad, or notice, or whatever! The viewer’s rating began dropping considerably since. You can see for yourselves; http://en.wikipedia..../Tron:_Uprising. When you look at the above link, you’ll see how many times they’ve paused and continued the series. You won’t see the change in time, but you’ll notice how they went from Friday, to Thursday, to Friday again and finally to Sunday (at 12:00 A.M.!!!!!!!!!!, WTF!!??) Some viewers of the show claimed that Disney did all that on purpose (knowing that the ratings will drop, I mean c’mon!! At 12 AM!!?) to kill the show because they were not happy with it (being a Cartoon that attracts adults rather than some toddlers). And Voila!! Till now, not certain, but 90%- that the show won’t get a second season (after a cliffhanger ending…) Why all this in the Star Wars The Clone Wars Season Five discussion board? Well, first of all, I apologize for using another topic or show in this forum. I had to do it; purely as a reference for what might be the destiny of The Clone Wars if it were to be transmitted on The Disney channel. Secondly, there is not much that can be done, we are just spectators. I just wanted you to know this and ready yourselves for the worst. I’m not saying that the same thing has to happen to The Clone Wars, but just what might happen if the show continues with darker episode (which we all prefer around here), should it be transmitted on a Channel that’s aim it is, to draw younger audience (ages 2 to 14 to be exact). I don’t see myself getting up at 12:00 A.M., to watch Anakin riding in the snow fending off Embo!!! So, as much as I hate to say this, but I hope Dave Filoni and co. continue making some of those less darker episodes for the next Season, so the show can survive. We don’t know much about Season Six yet, but it’ll be a good season. As far as I know, Deathwatch/Darth Maul arc and Ahsoka/Ventress arc are okay for this season. Season Five is safe! Safe on Cartoon Network (as long as they keep censoring decap scenes ). “Live well and prosper” Clone Wars, oops, wrong line taken from the wrong movie… Last thing: I just realized a dumb (if I may) move on TCW’s producers’ side!!! They knew that they’d have to broadcast on a different channel, why did they push the Clovis arc to Season Six!? Bold move I must say. They should’ve kept Clovis in Season Five, and pushed D-Squad to Season Six, now THAT arc would have been ideal for Disney!!!! (except for Gregor’s small debute and the Big Bang in Point of No Return)

Interesting observation, I didn't see it that way, but you are right. It's the rush moments that make them so good. And besides, never in the history of The Clone Wars (as far as I know...) did they make arcs longer than 4 episodes, and this Arc already has four: "Revival", "Eminence", "Shades of Reason" and "The Lawless", so it's fine like that. Another episode would make the story indeed dull.

I guess we'll have to wait and see the turn of events this Saturday. But I meant someone else dying. Let me put it this way: More people will die in "Lawless" than in "Shades". Exactly!!! Some four-arcs in the past were great. (Season two's Return to Geonosis arc, Season four's Umbara/Krell arc) But some four-part-arc from this season were too long if you ask me. HHahahaha, my thoughts exactly!!! When I watched this episode saturday, I had to scratch my head at this moment. Savage busting out of prison with ease. But maybe the mandalorians were short on troopers and everyone or most of them were at the throne room with Vizsla which would explain the lack of security, but still, these guys are Sith. You just don't leave 'em roaming around to their own devices!!! A great episode nonetheless, among the best I've seen from Filoni. I felt like I was watching one of the Star Wars movies.

So far, so good. Too much happening in ONE episode, and the Droid Arc paced toooooooooo slow in my opinion. Again I say, they could've covered te entire D-Squad adventure (+Gregor) in just two episodes to give the Mandalore Arc more episodes. I get the feeling that there will be more deaths in the upcoming episode which closes this amazing arc.

It is actually, or at least as far as I know. "The Lawless" is the last episode of this Arc. After this starts a new Arc. (The Ahsoka/Ventress Arc I think) So in short, All what you mentioned would or should happen in that same episode!!! Definitly rushed...

Shades of Reason! Wow! Like Hondo said: "I'm semy speechless..." It's one of the best episodes (in my opinion) in TCW which involves a fight scene. But overall great. The twist of events. I knew the outcome, but I didn't know how it would happen. It's interesting to see that Vizsla's skills have improved since Season 2. Obi-Wan quickly overpowered him in "The Mandalore Plot" but here he managed to put up quite a fight, and against Darth Maul, who was taught by Palpatine himself. Great fight indeed! The episode develops nicely, and again leaves us wanting more. So we look forward to the next episode. One thing that bothers me is that somehow it seems like they are rushing through these episodes. I got the same feeling whilst watching "Eminence". So much happening in so little time. When I first saw the trailer I thought we'd see Obi-Wan in armor in this episode. There's one more to go for this arc, "The Lawless". So in that remaining episode Obi-wan has to team up with Katan, fight against Maul's Death Watch and Darth Sideous will fight agains the brothers. In my opinion, the Onderon Arc could have done without one episode and the Droid Arc could have been shown in just two episodes. They took their time to build up in those Arcs and yet in this interesting one they rush through. It's so sad that it's coming to an end. But all in all, I've enjoyed the last two episodes thusfar, and they keep getting better by the number. So, now my countdown begins. Awaiting "The Lawless"!!!

Well, I really hope they do stick to 22. Either way, we all know by now that Season 6 is on it's way. So more episodes to keep going. I really wanted to see the Clovis Arc (Anakin finaly going Vader on Rush Clovis!!!). Speaking of which, seems like the first season that won't feature Cad Bane. He will be missed. I wish we could see more of Quinlan Vos and Darts D'Nar. AND MORE BOBA FETT!!!! Looking forward to "Shades of Reason" and "The Lawless"!!!

Hmmm, maybe. But in 4 years they've always sticked to 22 episodes. I think Season 5 also ends with 22 episodes. The last two are still to be named.

Too bad, I wanted to see some Anakin action. I'll stay tuned for more changes. Thanks for the info.

Hello everybody, I'm a big Clone Wars fans and just wanted to share something. I must warn you though that there may be some plot spoilers ahead, so read on at yer-own risk! Ok, let’s get started. I’ve been with The Clone Wars since the beginning five years ago, never missing one episode. Ok, maybe I’ve missed a few here and there but I’ve watched them all on either DVD or Blu-Ray. Thus far we’re at S05E14, “Eminence”, which aired last Saturday. (BTW; happy 100 episodes Dave Filoni and crew!!!) Great episode I must add! Happy seeing Maul and Savage again. Now let’s get to the point. Over the years you’ll learn to sometimes jump (or leap if you must…) ahead of some episodes using various sources mostly via the web. Here and there you’ll see trailers, message boards, interviews, yadayadayada. So far for what we’ve seen in the trailers of Season Five, we’re all going to be blown away. There is Death Watch, The Brothers, Ventress/Ahsoka, Anakin/Clovis, Obi-Wan in Fett armor (oh-yeah!!!) and ofcourse, much anticipated, Darth Sidious in action!!! As mentioned before, Season Five is now at episode 14 awaiting the 15th to be aired this Saturday (the 26th). Each season consists of 22 episodes which leaves us now with 8 more episodes to go. From the wiki sources of Star Wars we know that the next two episodes will end the current Arc, those being S05E15, “Shades of Reason” and S05E16, “The Lawless”. That leaves 6 more episodes in which The Clovis Arc and Ventress Arc must be fitted. So far we also know that The Clovis Arc consists of 3 episodes (maybe 4, I’m not sure). The 3 known episodes of Clovis are “An Old Friend”, “The Rise of Clovis” and “Crisis at the Heart”. Very little has been revealed about the Ventress Arc (not sure if it’s an arc or just a standalone episode…) other than she’ll face Ahsoka and some Clone Troopers. There is something though that bugs me and you can see for yourselves. Check this link out; http://clonewars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Clone_Wars_Season_5 and compare it to this other one; http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/The_Clone_Wars%3A_Season_Five. I want more info on these strange episodes: “Sabotage”, “The Jedi Who Knew Too Much”, “To Catch A Jedi” and “The Wrong Jedi”. If you find anything, please share. I’m not sure if they’re placed right; Were they planned for Season 6 and have been moved? Which episode will feature Ventress and Ahsoka, for ‘these’ leave no more room for episodes in this season (the count is at 23 which doesn’t make sense…) I know these info’s are subject to change, but still, find out what you can. All in all, there’s still plenty of action packed episodes left for this Season and I’m sure we’ll all enjoy them. One last thing: I remember reading somewhere that Dave Filoni Said that starting with the 12th episode of Season 3 (“Nightsisters”) the episodes will run in chronological order. Well, that’s not entirely true. The Season Five opener (S05E01) was supposed to be “A War on Two Fronts”. For unknown reasons they used “Revival” as the first episode. SPOILERS AHEAD! SPOILERS AHEAD! Adi Galia is killed in episode 1, yet she’s still alive and sitting at the Council in episode 2. Also in “Revival” Hondo mentions Grievous attacking his empire. This raid happens in Episode 9. My point? If you watch Season 5 in episode order you’ll get confused. With the episodes so far, if you want to watch them in the right order (maybe you've videotaped them…) you must start Season Five with the Onderon Arc (Episodes 2, 3, 4 and 5) followed by the Younglings Arc (Episodes 6, 7, 8 and 9), the ***cought****stupid****cough*** Droid Arc (Episodes 10, 11, 12 and 13) followed by Episode 1, THEN Episode 14 and so on. In short, just place the “Revival” episode between episodes 13 and 14, so that “Revival will act as the start of the four part story Arc involving The Brothers, Death Watch, Obi-Wan and Darth Sidious.
