They toned down Ahsoka's more irritating tendencies and redesigned her and she became AWESOME. The stories were generally pretty engaging and well put together too - there were a couple of clunkers and some that were obviously for the kids, but there was some pretty grim stuff in there too. <br /><br />The older Clone Wars was very sleek and stylish, and did quite a lot with its sparse dialogue and plots. It WAS mostly fight scenes, but they were incredible. And my personal favourite - we got Shaak Ti and Roron Corobb kicking ass. I also really like the way they handled Anakin's spirit quest on Nelvaan - the cave wall animation is especially ominous. <br /><br />I'm really looking forward to Rebels, can't wait to see some more of Dave Filoni's take on Star Wars. And I expect it'll feel more like the original movies than ever with the architecture, ships and so on taken directly from Ralph McQuarrie's concept work :)liminalDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621859737411962756noreply@blogger.com
