It also showed that there might just be a little Anakin in Ashoka. Wouldn't it be a shock if it turns out she was Darth's apprentice between the trilogies? I wonder if there will be a point at which we will learn her fate.

Ha. I wonder if Lucas will make some prequel special editions where she is inserted?

Greg, please delete your post before someone at Lucasfilm reads it!

BLAST! Now we know why the "Ultimate Edition" of Star Wars on Blu Ray is taking so long..finding places to insert Ashoka!

In TPM:

"Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to. . . ."

"Sorry to interrupt, Master Yoda, but good news! A new Jedi baby named Ahsoka was just born!"

Not sure about the timeline. She's, what, 15 in Clone Wars?

Well, you should have seen the first draft of this. I was so off, I had her being birthed during Clones.

It hasn't been said onscreen. [NERD]According to Wookieepedia, she was born 36 years before the battle of Yavin (Episode IV) which makes her 14 in the first year of the war. Lucasfilm hasn't decided exactly when these episodes take place yet. Once the series is finished, they're going to take the cartoon(s), books, comics and video games and establish a timeline for all of The Clone Wars material.[/NERD]

Greg, for a moment i thought you were quoting DUNE! " Its is for this alone, i set my mind in motion." If i got the quote right.

Hmm, I thought this was one of the most cartoony, kidified eps they've done since the early days of S1. Seemed like pure filler. I liked the idea of the underworld, as I never figured the Jedi/Republic capital to have one; the buddy cop format and 12-year oldish villains just didn't do it for me.

I liked the episode (especially the amazing animation when the signs fall into the flying car lanes) but the voice acting/casting on the two villains didn't work for me.

That Embo guy was cool. Can't wait for the Very Special Guest on the 23rd.

According to the behind the scenes featurette at starwars.com Embo's voice is director Dave Filoni reading from a French language Smurfs book (with plenty of electronic processing so he sounded cool).

Yeah, it was a bit infuriating when Lucas moved Anakin's knighting up to a couple of months following AotC, instead of the original dating of around two-and-a-half years into the conflict. I'm very much looking forward to getting a final, unified chronology from LFL, once all is said and done, though it's gonna be interesting to see how they reconcile a few things from the novels and comics.

Also, there's only so far they can take Ahsoka down that new timeline before she has to move "offscreen," just before the events of Revenge of the Sith.

This show keeps getting better and better. The latest episode The Zillo Beast Strikes Back is probably one of the best shows of the series to date, and the standard for Season 2 has been pretty good. This latest episode had everything and a homage to Godzilla and King Kong to boot.

Its going to be a long wait for Season 3. Say what you want about the prequels but the quality of this TV show bodes well for the future live action TV show IMO.

 

[Greg_S_H]

Oh, man
There goes Coruscant
Go, go Zillo Beast!

 

[Sam Favate]

This really is a terrific show. It's often smart and gripping, in ways that shows geared for children aren't. It obviously appeals to kids, but manages to maintain a maturity too.

"The Zillo Beast Strikes Back" was my favorite epsiode to date. The show is well-written and the action is great. I also really enjoyed the Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven homage a couple weeks ago.

 

[TravisR]

The zillo beast was such a cool design that I'm glad they're (presumably) bringing it back at some point via cloning.

 

[Stephen Orr]

Being the Godzilla fan that I am, I totally geeked out of the two Zillo Beast episodes. Not knowing what the deal was in the first one, once Anakin and the crew were running up its back unawares and it started to move, my brain said "Kaiju!".


Thought it was interesting that it sounded a lot like the 1998 American Godzilla when it roared.


Heads up on the next ep, we get to see young Boba heading down the path to bounty-hunter-dom.

 

[Greg_S_H]

Awesome. When Ahsoka was on the wing, I was saying, "Cut off the stabilizer!" And she did! Also good to see R2 in action, and the season three tease was nice.
