And, I guess PMS put her out of action during the events of RoTS? There was never any mention of Anakin having a padawan. :bangwall:

Thank God for bad plot devises.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Do not underestimate the power of shitty writing.

There's your problem: it's best to shut off your mind first to prevent corruption.

Good point. I'll try that when the SW series airs.

Yeah, I watched one "Clone Wars" ep with my mind working, and it was a disaster. They played Greivous well, but that's about it.

I watched two episodes with my kids on cartoon network. All I can say is, DAMN.

the women are mighty fine.

At what point do we stop considering Jake a kid? Season 3 or 4?

If we go by the "whining" factor, then I think we're still waiting.

The CW series... meh. And that's being generous.

I can't see Anakin a hero after ROTS. Hello, Order 66, anyone? Butchering children and betraying the Jedi?

Jake... good kid. Grows up well, too. Like that final scene with him and Nerys looking at the Wormhole.

The CW series was, quite simply, horrid, and should be expunged from all memory.
