Talk:Star Wars: The Clone Wars (TV series)

I'm placing this note at the top, as it seems much more relevant to both maintenance of the page in question, AND possible edits to make this Talk Page conform with the above banner. First off, this Talk Page badly needs cleaned up by someone more familiar with Wiki/Wookieepedia standards than myself. Now more importantly, and directly related to the topic this Talk Page is supposed to address... It seems that much of the material in sections 2-4 (Memorable Quotes, Credits, and Appearances) may refer to information from the original Cartoon Network series (sometimes referred to as the "Clone Wars Microseries"). Either these sections need to have that information removed from them, or the sections in question need to be deleted until information relevant to the upcoming (2008) CGI animated series is available. - k1darkknight 06:56, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

So, is it the exact same storyline? Or are they going to have different stories?
 * New stories, I think. -LtNOWIS 02:31, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Produced after the film was a failure
After reading that the film recived very poor reviews, I guss there is not point in producing the series. EmperorofFatailism 8:50 P.M 21 August 2008

George was never a fan of giving up that easily Drsdino
 * The series was almost halfway done before the film was released. It was not meant to be released as a film until last year. VT-16 13:57, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

3D Format
How exactly will this be done in 3D? Will it be comparable to 3D movies (with the glasses) or will it be something entirely different? Totema 03:07, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

What he said
Do they mean 3-D as in CGI, or 3-D as in those stupid fad glasses that thankfully died out in the 90's? 193.71.103.180 00:32, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I think that will be in CGI !Darth Nospher 22:30, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

yeah it iz in cgi trust me i knowClonetroop125 02:05, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Episode names
I just happened to stumble onto Anthony Daniels' website today and saw this: "Just finished another recording session on Clone Wars - Chapter 11- "Destroy Malevolence". Thrilling stuff!" Has he been posting other episode titles? It looks like his updates aren't archived. -- Ozzel 06:50, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Awesome stuff man thanks for the Update GMo 17:52, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Koovy! Updated the article and created our first CW 3-D chapter article. On the title itself; I wonder if General Grievous is going to be getting a sidekick...Major Malevolence? ;) - \\Captain Kwenn// &mdash; Ahoy! 18:02, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Style?
Does anyone know whether this thing going to be in the same over-exagerrated style as the 2D one? Unit 8311 17:07, 2 May 2007 (UTC) I watched the trailer and it doesnt look like it.

Move
Now that we have a real title, I say we move Star Wars: The Clone Wars to Star Wars: The Clone Wars (video game) and then move this to the former. Sound okay? -- Ozzel
 * Sounds good to me. But shouldn't this article should be moved to Star Wars: The Clone Wars (TV series). Adamwankenobi 04:47, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Link to the trailer.
Uh, could someone provide another link to it? Whenever I click on it, I get a "Please make a selection" message, but without any suggestions. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 23:45, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Try going to the homepage of starwars.com, then clicking for the trailer there. It loaded that was for me when it wouldn't show up on the direct link. - Indy Gold 02:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Here it is: Themelle444 12:13, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Still not working for me. In addition, I've tried accessing other videos on StarWars.com, yet I can't get anything. I realize this must be a problem with my computer, but does anyone have any clue as to what this might be? &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 14:47, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Their new layout is really annoying me. No idea on your problem unless you've got a security setting high, or are running an antivirus program that might interfere. Sometimes the site just whacked out for no good reason before, though; I still can't get the online DVD features on any of my DVDs to work. However, I have a few ripped versions of the trailer I downloaded from a forum before the links were removed. If you can use megaupload or yousendit, I can upload it for you. - Indy Gold 16:41, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No need. The problem was probably that I was using a slightly older version of Adobe. A quick download of the newest version made it work. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 16:30, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm having the exact same problem. What do you mean, "Adobe"? What program?--1upD 23:02, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Adobe Flash Player, I think. - 69.222.19.32 03:35, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

"Fire!"
During the trailer, Greivous shouts "Fire!" and we're shown a scene very familiar from RotJ - Jerjerod giving the order to fire and the laser shooting down a tube and ultimately destroying a Rebel vessel. Could it be the Confederate's "Ultimate Weapon"'s superweapon being fired? I thought it was never finished/scrapped? --Danik Kreldin 03:02, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It appears to be some kind of superweapon connected with electricity. You notice the beam consists of electrical currents and the same effect is seen on damaged Venators in the next scene. VT-16 11:24, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Having it as the Ultimate Weapon would certainly work, at least for me. That would fit in perfectly with some of my Death Star theories, especially those on the superlaser. ;) &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 16:31, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Maybe it's some sort of prototype. Or something like the Darksaber. It highly doubt it to be the Ultimate Weapon, as according to other sources the CIS never finished their superweapon. Unit 8311 18:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

it was probobly a super lazer from a modified cis ship.the electrical current probobly resembles the weapon of the magnaguard.Clonetroop125 02:36, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Jabba's Palace?
In the shot with the three MagnaGuard's in the trailer is that Jabba's Palace in the background? Rune Haako 16:28, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It might be; from what I've heard that scene was on Tattooine, though I'm not at all sure on the reliability of that info. - Indy Gold 17:16, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

the ship
wat iz that ship that anakin was inClonetroop125 22:06, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * No one knows at the moment. Dave Filoni has confirmed that it isn't a B-wing starfighter, so the only vehicle currently in canon that it could be is the H-60 Tempest bomber. Adamwankenobi 22:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Interesting. I was talking with Hans and Richard about the Clone Series and the new ships in it that they could put in another ICS. They basically came up with it first. --  Riffsyphon  1024 03:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I say we just call it the proto B-wing for now. It looks very, very much like the B-wing and nothing like the H-60 Lalala la 09:01, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It looks like a boxy YT-1300/B-wing hybrid. I don't think it's correct to call it a H-60 Tempest, since that had cockpits at each end and was sleeker. VT-16 07:57, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Timeline
So when exactly does this take place? The 'expansion of the core series' description is not illuminating. Do its episodes take place between the chapters of the original series? Will it be before? After? meanwhiles? MoffRebus 10:02, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I'd say at different points of the Clone Wars, but that's just my guess. We'll have to wait and see until it airs. Unit 8311 10:06, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Nickelodeon?
Nickelodeon? Has this been confirmed? Hotdoglives 04:19, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

This is the first I've heard of it, but dear god I hope it's not true.Astrid 23:47, 17 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Well Lucas has said specifically that it's not meant to be a kiddie show and shouldn't be on a kids channel. The only way I could see this happening if for some weird reason no other channel wanted to accept it, but then he would have to change the entire premisis of the show. And I think in that case that Cartoon Network would at leat be interested and could show it during Adult Swim. But yeah seriously doubt this has any truth in it all. Livingston  [[Image:Jedi Order2.jpg|25px]] ( The Force will be with you. Always. ) 06:13, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * We should get rid of it, then? Astrid 22:31, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Throw it in with the "incredible smell". Based on the fact that 20th Century Fox distibutes the movies, Fox may be a candidate for the network, but that's just my opinion. --WTRiker 00:21, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Same here. Though a more likely canidate would be Fox 'cause 20th Century owns Fox Television. But that's my suggestion.

Plo Koon
The director Dave Filoni says Plo Koon gets at least 3 or 4 episodes for himself. You can check that out on www.starwars.com

Franz Oz?
According to a recent interview on Ain't It Cool News, he doesn't know anything about the project and says people shouldn't believe everything they read on the internet. So that would certainly seem to call into question the idea of him voicing Yoda, no?


 * On top of that, it's clearly Tom Kane's voice in the trailer. Since the source that says Frank Oz is involved is Hyperspace-only, can anyone clear up what it says?Eggmanland 18:11, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Removed Oz's name from the cast list. If his own first-hand denials aren't good enough to at least warrant taking his name off for the time being, I don't see what would be. 74.74.65.213 12:47, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

2.35:1 aspect ratio
I can't comment on whether or not it's accurate to call the trailer 2.35:1, as I haven't watched it in a while now, but the assertion that this is the most common aspect ratio for modern films is totally wrong. That would be 1.85:1 (very nearly the dimensions of a 16x9 widescreen TV). Star Wars is, in fact, wider than the majority of movies being made today.


 * Took out the comment about 2.35:1 being the most common aspect ratio today. It's verifiably untrue, as you can find by a quick glance at Wikipedia. To quote, 1.81:1 is the "35 mm US and UK widescreen standard for theatrical film." 74.74.65.213 12:47, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I've removed the 2.35:1 bit completely, because the aspect ratio of a trailer is not always the same as the actual film or show. -- Ozzel 04:45, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Nickelodeon ?
Nickelodeon is not a good place for the Clone Wars. But why not the Cartoon Network ? It is completely better than Nickelodeon. I'm sure that the network will be of course the Cartoon Network So oeone better change it on the infobox. George Skywalker 09:31, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Mate, just because you don't think Nickelodeon's the right choice, doesn't make it true. Thefourdotelipsis 09:37, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Methinks a mistake has been made here(above). Darth Oompa Loompa 19:16, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * We don't have a complete cast list yet.--Rune Haako 18:05, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

No, I meant saying the same thing twice. Darth Oompa Loompa 18:46, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Quote
Who deleted it? And why? Darth Oompa Loompa 02:08, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I moved it down to the production section, because the quote explains Lucas' goal for the series during production. Adamwankenobi 03:47, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Creature's name?
Does anybody recognize the creature that attacks Ahsoka about 3:19 into this video? Or is it brand new?InSaneWeTrust 01:30, 9 April 2008 (UTC)


 * It might be a Tra'cor, since it has a resemblance to a Rancor, though it has webbed claws and such. Dark Ridley 17:46, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Anakin is wearing the Legacy symbol
Does anyone else find it strange that Anakin has the on his shoulder pads? - Liquidcross 15:47, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not just the Legacy-era publishing symbol, it's also the Jedi Order's symbol. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 16:05, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, that explains it. (Though it's still weird that the Jedi Order symbol's used for the Legacy timeframe, when they're all but extinct {again!}). Thanks! -Liquidcross 19:00, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * did anyone elso notice the Rise of the Empire era symbol on one of the clone troopes in "Ambush"--Darth Irrelevant 02:48, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That's the Republic/Senate symbol from the prequels. Graestan ( Talk ) 02:56, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Date
I say that this was set in 2 to 4 months after Anakin's knighthood, wouldn't you say? 72.82.25.224 23:40, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd say six. --TaylorKarras 01:38, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Anakin's knighthood has been retconned to be almost immediately after Geonosis. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:16, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I think it is safe to say this series will be between months 20-30 of the war. Basing this off the Republic comic series, the series is between issues 67 and 69. #67 is the last comic with Skywalker as a padawan in month 18 and #69 he is a long haired knight with no signs of having his own padawan in month 30. Given that, there is no apparent contradiction with established sources. And how is his knighthood retconned to be almost immediately after Geonosis? 9&#39;er 07:32, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Non the less it can't be too late in the war because all the clones are still in Phase 1 armour! NukeSpammer 22:51, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

UK release
Does anyone know the details of it's release in the UK? --80.42.46.130 21:47, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Acording to the September issue of Empire magazine it will be sometime next year, haven't heard anything more specific than that.-- Master Yelsha-Nu, 14:47, 27 August 2008

New Clone Wars Trailer
Hey guys,i don't know if you guys seen this but theres a new trailer. its pretty good. (i thought i'd just put it out on here) http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809991325/video/8273357 (its also on starwars.com now) JediNTT307 02:51, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

IMDB
Ok so the Internet Movie Database isn't a reliable source but the MTV Movie Blog is? How does that work? I see various other "fan based" websites listed as references also. When did MySpace become the official source of Star Wars news? I understand that a percentage of IMDB is submitted by fans (as is wikipedia) but it is a big enough entity that any mistakes that are made are very quickly rectified. The latest info on Samuel L. Jackson that is referenced on this page was from February. I'm sure if he were not to be credited to this film, someone on the planet Earth would have noticed it on IMDB and fixed it. I'm sorry I would just like a further explanation on why my post was deleted.

Tmanarl 01:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)Tmanarl
 * But they were right from the source; MTV conducted the interview themselves with Jackson, and the MySpace reference links directly to Randy Stradley's blog. IMDb, on the other hand, can be edited by anyone, so we can't determine the exact source. For example, IMDb had "confirmed" for months that John Hurt was playing Abner Ravenwood in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. But in reality, he was a playing different character. Adamwankenobi 03:01, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * IGN has the same casting information as IMDb. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 03:06, 1 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your explanation. If IMDB does not work then there are several other sites that would.  As  Drewton  stated, IGN has a cast listing as well as this article published in the LA Times on May 7th, 2008 which also confirms Samuel L. Jackson's work in this movie.  Would either of these serve as a reputable source?
 * Tmanarl 16:17, 1 July 2008 (UTC)Tmanarl


 * Yeah, IGN will work. But the LA Times article says Jackson will only be voicing his character for the film. Adamwankenobi 17:00, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

I can't believe George Lucas said this in that LA Times article..."The Clone Wars' is a lot of fun for me, because in the normal course of the Skywalker saga, what happened during the Clone Wars is never told -- we see a little of the beginning and a little of the end, but other than that, it's skipped over." Drewton   ( Drewton's Holocron ) 13:25, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Just accept this: EU doesn't exist for Lucas. He won't even remember about cartoon CW series anymore: to him they were just commercials for ROTS, just as all the printed matherials are. Mauser 13:52, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Battle of Raxus Prime
OK, I was scrolling through the battles that we know about and I spotted the Battle of Raxus Prime. Where exactly has that information come from and can it be verified? Commanderbly42 13:16, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Shaak Ti and Durge
Does anyone know if they are gonna be in it? Becuase i thought i thought i saw them on the list. Were they confirmed as 'not' being in it? JediNTT307 00:20, 24 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Placing them on the list was a pure speculation in the first place. By that logic you could as well include appearance of, say, Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, Garm Bel Iblis, etc. -- Darth Paulus [[Image:JaingHead.svg|20px]] ( May the Force serve you well! ) 07:47, 30 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Then shouldn't we take Aayla Secura off the list? JediNTT307 20:46, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Nope. Aayla is included because she is present in the Databank lists for the Clone Wars. I have in mind, however, that Databank could be very vague, from time to time... :-) -- Darth Paulus [[Image:JaingHead.svg|20px]] ( May the Force serve you well! ) 19:37, 12 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that too. But i noticed that Although they got the Malevolence story, Plo Koon's databank does not have the CW highlighted. JediNTT307 22:47, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Continuity
"Continuity with the other Expanded Universe works is being taken very seriously by the series' creators, with Dave Filoni being well-versed in the Expanded Universe."

This looks like a joke now. The whole section of the article is to be rewritten to reflect one of the biggest continuity ****-ups ever. Mauser 06:29, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I went to see the movie yesterday and if that's anything to go by, I couldn't agree more :( -Kev-La Ttolya 16:10, 3 September 2008 (UTC)


 * This line: "Despite the original Lucasfilm statements that The Clone Wars will not supersede the original Clone Wars series in continuity, but will instead expand upon what the original series established" needs a better source. The TV Guide article doesn't quote anyone saying that it wouldn't contradict the earlier series.  I'm pretty sure that was said at one point, so there must be a better source out there. Darth Prefect 18:42, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Time Zone
The time says 9:00 p.m. At what time?
 * It'll be 9PM no matter what Time Zone.Tocneppil 02:39, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Not true. It's on at 6:00 p.m. in my time zone. Darth Endis 09:54, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
 * On a similar matter, on the "run time" thing, it says "aprox. 22 mins" but that's definitely not right. When I was watching the premiere with my little brother, more than half of the show was STUPID, FRICKING COMMERCIALS. I mean, the episodes were great, but, all we really got to see was the stupid commercials. I'd say about, eh, "Aprox 15 mins" would be better... --The Wolfe22 17:06, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * With all commercials edited out each episode is exactly 22 minutes long. Use the torrents, Luke. Mauser 17:13, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

Seth Green
Seth Green Plays Kit Fisto in the show. look it up im not liein


 * Phil LaMarr is voicing Kit Fisto now, check The Clone Wars movie dvd. Seth Green is voicing a new character for the show. GMo &gt;:M:&lt; 10:10, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow! I somehow always knew it... That's why I would stubbornly placed the request for source... :-) -- Darth Paulus [[Image:JaingHead.svg|20px]] ( May the Force serve you well! ) 16:04, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Nope Seth's Voicing him look at this []
 * HAHAHA its phil lamarr not seth green starwars.com []

Remove apperances section
Yes, that's what I'm suggesting. If there are indeed about 100 episodes planned, it will quickly overgrow to ridiculous size (basically it already has). The appearances sections of separate episodes should be enough. Mauser 05:00, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Agreed, this is going to get ungainly very quickly.InSaneWeTrust 23:06, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

R7 and R6 units
Plo Koon's droid and Ahsoka's droids are R7's and Kit Fisto's is R6 so maybe those unit's werent made after the battle of endor after all since everything that George Lucas does is considered highest canonical. Also why is it that Plo Koons droid is R7-F5 instead of R4-F5 and Kits R6-H5 rather then R4-H5.--Butters4115 23:43, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Also, Ahsoka said the R3s were new. Then why is there an R7 available? I think this may have mean a Lucasfilm screwup, but I don't know. -RandomBattleDroid


 * Either they're some kind of prototype, or Lucas thinks model number equals droid dome color. Either way, it's just pointless speculation until they explain it away. - Milo Fett [Comlink] 16:11, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Rise of Darth Vader?
Will this show feature the rise of Lord Vader? it should that would be so awesome! --Tansl Retor 03:54, 29 December 2008 (UTC)Tansl Retor
 * That is already in Episode III, but if you mean Anikin becoming darker, I think they will have some of that sometime.
