General Star Wars Animated Series

If we want to get into the problems with space travel physics in Star Wars, we should start with the audible explosions and ship engines.
Anyway according to the ep guide, the athmosphere is breathable, but the Clouzon-36 has to be filtered-out for non-rodians or the boss's species. This doesn't necessarly mean it's poisonous to humans and Lasat, it could just be that it's heavier than other components in the air, and builds-up in the human lung, choking whoever breathes it in for a longer time.

Old Master, from the New York Toy Fair.

Looking much the same as he always does.

Bare chested?

He's even got his dual lightsaber again!

Or it is Savage's saber? Or half-and-half? Now that would be symbolic.

He definitely didn't have the thing sticking out of the saber before. I wonder that's for.

Savage has those on each side of his saberstaff, just decoration I assume. It's also present on Dooku's saber in TCW. That's why I think one half is Savage's. The other one looks like Maul's old saber.

Part of me kind of wishes he kept the Dark Saber.

Yeah, it's a pity. But then red and black dual wielding is a bit too much Red and Black and Evil All Over even for him.

Been watching Clone Wars basically nonstop for the past few days. Not quite done yet, but I got to the fifth season, and I've heard complaints about Onderon, so I figured I'd post.

The lack of nods to its KOTOR (or even earlier) history, while annoying, didn't strike me as saying that history didn't exist. It just wasn't relevant to the plot, unlike say the Mandalore plotline, where the differences between their peaceful modern ways and their Proud Warrior Race past was extremely important. Iziz felt a lot like it did in KOTOR in general aesthetic, and there were a lot of beasts being ridden even if nobody mentioned Beast Riders, the Beastprince, or Freedon Nadd. None of it was really important at the moment, since we didn't really hear anything about Onderon besides the fact that there were rebels. We don't even know how the new king took power. The lack of Dxun is a bit harder to rationalize, but they only share atmosphere during the summer, so maybe it just wasn't summer.

Just my two cents on the issue. Maybe everyone else has already argued this to hell and back; if so, sorry.

I actually don't think most people care. Like, they're kind of busy to be having conversations about things that happened over three thousand years ago.

Yeah, people in the US don't just casually talk about the history of migration of various Native American tribes, or in casual conversation mention the French-Indian War every day. I wouldn't be surprised if Beast Riders were so well integrated that nobody really bothered to separate them out. (Although I have to check again, but I agree that it's odd Dxun doesn't feature prominently in the sky.)

New clip from next ep. A bit spoiler-y.

So there's Hera's accent.

Ah, yes, Freddie Prinze Jr. confirmed that Kanan and Hera have feelings for each other.

Also, that was a damn good episode.

A moon of Geonosis, huh? Wonder if they're gonna talk about the Geonosian genocide in this episode.

Or throw in a droid army or two.

I know I'm going to be disappointed if I don't hear the classic Geonosian gun sound...

What kind of accent do Twi'leks have? I noticed Hera slipped back into it during the last episode.

French, I think.

French, yes. The Twi'leks were given French accents during production of the Ryloth trilogy because their situation was meant to parallel rebellion in occupied France during WWII.

What Geonosis genocide?

Darth Vader comic revealed that the Empire "sterilized" Geonosis. The only survivor is one Queen who is now sterile and in hiding.
