Animated?

Accrdoing to the internet movie data bank & wikipedia it's gonna be a 3D film [1]

The article needs to be changed so readers know that it's gonna be 3D not animated.--NadirAli 01:24, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

It is animated, just not using traditional animation. --Obscured 01:26, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Perhaps change it to '3D animated film'? Cncplyr 16:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • It's called CG, duh? Darth Shohet 18:27, June 19, 2008

Obi-wan and Anakin

Does anyone know who will be providing their voices? Blackhawk003 22:30, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Obi-Wan's legs are straight, Anakin's legs are bent.

Funny

Does anyone else think it's funny that they portay Obi-Wan to be taller than Anakin in the poster even though Anakin has towered over Obi-Wan since AotC? XD

Well it looks like Anakin is bending his knees a little bit but it doesn't matter, after seeing the trailer i'm confident this is going to be a great film. Steves490 17:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Time

Dose anywon know when this takes place

  • It's after episode 21 of the first Clone Wars tv series. Anakin defeats Asajj at Yavin, then Grievous makes his first appearance and attacks all the Jedi, then Anakin gets promoted to Jedi Knight, then this. If you want to get really specific as to how it fits in with the comic books, novels, etc. I don't really know. InSaneWeTrust 05:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
  • I'm not sure it's meant to completely fit in with the first TV series or the new TV series. The best way to know is probably watch the movie and the new TV series. Darth Shohet 18:29, June 19, 2008
  • Considering that Anakin already has a scar and Dave Filoni is an EU fan I hope there's stiil chance that the movie does indeed fit betweem Drednaughts of Rendili and Obsession. Mauser 21:32, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Second Trailer

  • Can anyone identify the three beings shown at 44 seconds into the second theatrical trailer, or the species of the front two (I know the one at the back is a rodian). Also, can anyone identify the droids at 1:39 Anakin is facing, and the droid-looking commander at 1:43. Thanks, NighthawkLeader 09:04, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Ship?

Can any one id the vaguely B-wing- like ship at the beginning of the trailer? Thanks71.214.117.22 18:32, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Never mind its the Twilight71.214.117.22 18:37, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Asajj Ventress

Just saw the second trailer; does anyone think Asajj Ventress sounds a lot like Cree Summer? -- Ederchil 09:21, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

New Images

has someone uploaded the vehicle and character images from starwars.com? Pridak.77 02:12, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Clone trooper Phase I armor

The clone trooper armor in The Clone Wars seems to be a different phase than we've seen before; the backs are those of a Stormtrooper's.

  • Clone trooper Phase I
  • Stormtrooper armor
  • Armor in The Clone Wars

Drewton 20px (Drewton's Holocron) 01:05, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

  • There're also some new Phase I / II Scouts. Mennis 20:28 CET, 14 August 2008

Voices of Anakin and Obi-Wan?

Do we have a real source for this info? The source link is invalid. Darth Anakin 01:09, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Grievous IS in this movie!

What is wrong with you people? Don't you even see the IMDB cast, the first trailer, or even the very first preview? I mean, come on! Seriously! The Commander of the droid armies is here and you're all gonna live with it (that includes you, Tranner, my dear arch-rival)! 72.87.76.216 19:12, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

IMDB does not count as a source at all. The trailers include footage not only from the movie, but from the upcoming TV series as well. And we have a confirmation that Grievous is not in the movie. Now you gonna live with that. Mauser 19:21, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh By the way...Mauser he is in the first 5 minutes. So technically...you're owned. - Problematik

I do? He is on screen for five seconds=) Mauser 22:01, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

You sure Grievous the robot is in the movie?(Eagle Eye 370 03:21, 31 August 2008 (UTC))

  • Ok, but, maybe I'm wrong, I don't think his robot-twin is in it... ;p Well... he's just listed twice in the character list... Kaal 22:22, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
It's Grievous. The shot is the same one from the trailer showing the leaders of the Separatists. He has no dialogue as it's just a quick shot of them under the opening narration, but he's there. It would not be anyone else. (The droid N-K Necrosis was made using the chasis AFTER Grievous' death.)
At this point, this debate no longer serves a purpose. No improvement of the article can be made from it. The character appears in the film and is listed in the article as such.Medleystudios72 13:37, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Kaminoan

Isn't there a Kaminoan in this movie called Nala Se?Is there an article about her?Thanks. brady godzilla 16:05, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Drdilongbrady godzilla 16:05, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

  • Where did you get that info?Meesa yoda 03:16, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
    • Nala Se (article not created yet) - I remember mentioned and seeing her at recently released The Clone Wars: The Visual Guide as other things (from my memory I recall R3-S6 droid called Goldie and also some new places of battles, like Bothawui), but I'm not certain if she'll appear in the movie. Anyway this children book I think it's great source of new stuff for upcoming movie and TV series as well.--Jedi Marty 03:31, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Docking-Station?

At the beginning is this Docking-Station where some Venators docked. Anyone know something about that? Mennis 20:39 CET, 14 August 2008

Thoughts on it from a viewer and avid Star Wars fan

You know, I went to the theatre with high hopes but equally high reservations. The movie started, and man, I was totally into it. The animation style is similar to a old series called "Reboot". Anakin Skywalker's new Padawan Ahsoka is the WORST character that Star Wars has ever seen. You Jar-Jar bashers out there think he's bad? Every line out of this disrespectful little Padawan is either annoying (calling Anakin Skywalker "sky-guy", or Artoo; "Artooie"), or an equally lame one-liner. Neither Yoda or Mace Windu (which is odd because Samuel L. Jackson was the only Jedi to lend his voice to the movie) manage to have a cool fight scene in the movie. The previews described it as the must see for any Star Wars fan, as the thing that ties it all together.

It did have some good points however, from Count Dooku's rather awesome performance (Christopher Lee, the Dooku from II & III, also lent his voice to the movie), to the coolness of the clone troopers. You'll walk away from it feeling a little bit more learned about them. Rex, the only Clone Trooper who has a name in this movie is by far the the most bad-ass character, and I actually liked watching the Clones more than the Jedi.

This movie feels like a sidequest, primarily because it falls between the start and the end of the animated Clone Wars series. However, no where does it get mentioned or does the resolution of the film seem to impact the rest of the series. Also, we never see Anakin with a Padawan anywhere else, except his apprentice in The Force Unleashed. Don't worry, they're not the same person, gender, or even species.

It's not terrible...but it's nothing you'll want to see again...ever. Even Obi-Wan gets some lame one-liners. The movie is something aimed at kids, and if you have kids and want to share or introduce them to Star Wars, then this will by all means hook them. However, for the older Star Wars group, between the Gay Hutt, and Ahsoka the disrespectful Padawan, oh and Padme's entrance into the movie at 1 hour 10 minutes, I'd say see it once just because you know you're curious. Interestingly enough, Ahsoka holds her lightsaber like The Apprentice from The Force Unleashed. That had me wondering.

It's tough to score a movie like this, because having watched the previews and now the movie, I know it was aimed at kids. On that point I'd give it a 7/10, because it certainly succeeded in its goals. However, if I were to score it compared to any other Star Wars film, (which part of me feels guilty doing, but part of me feels god damned righteous as well), I'd give it a 3/10.

Pros:

  • Hey...it's Star Wars
  • Lightsabers
  • Great animation, great for kids to become absorbed into something that might be a little before their time.
  • The story was never boring, I found myself having to pee but holding out for 50 minutes because I didn't want to leave.

Cons:

  • It's aimed at kids, and if you're an adult Star Wars fan, you'll probably be disappointed.
  • Ahsoka almost kills this whole movie single-handedly.
  • It's more of a sidequest film than the "integral part of the Clone Wars every fan must see"
  • No Mace Windu or Yoda fight scenes? Come on!
  • Only Christopher Lee and Samuel L. Jackson lent their voices to their characters. Mace Windu didn't even play a prominent part!

Overall Score: 5/10

Era?

What era is Star Wars: The Clone Wars supposed to be in? I am referring to: the two seasons of clone wars... because Assaj Ventress was in this movie... curious if she survived the fall from Anakin or if this movie takes place before that occurs. Or are these two things not related?

Thanks!

<~Kg®imes2~> 20:40, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

  • We're still not exactly sure where the film takes place, but regardless, Ventress did survive the fall on Yavin. -- Ozzel 20:43, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Well, the era was the Rise of the Empire era...but, assuming you mean the year, either 21 or 20 BBY. Drewton 20px (Drewton's Holocron) 20:56, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
    • It's 22 BBY. -- I need a name (Complain here) 21:03, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
      • Well, so says the novel, apparently, but there are things in the film that seem to imply it being later. Leland Chee has hinted that this may be the case. -- Ozzel 22:32, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
        • Didn't earlier reports say that it was in the last year(s) of the war? Drewton 20px (Drewton's Holocron) 01:08, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Well the plot does seem to put a heavy emphasis on the war in the outer rim, which could be referring to the Outer Rim Sieges that didn't start until 22BBY. Of course the movie is also missing ships that were around later in the war such as ARC-170s, V-Wings, and Tri Fighters so I'm a bit confused. What really confuses me about the year is they show two of the new jedi starfighters in the opening sequence but for the remainder of the film Obi-Wan flies the old version. Of course that clip was only on for a couple seconds so I could be wrong. Y-AT 06:07, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
    • If it was in 22 BBY, Anakin would still be a padawan, which means that he couldn't have a padawan. Also, the look of the characters is closer to that of ROTS than AOTC--no padawan braid for Anakin, shorter hair for Obi-Wan, etc. -Milo Fett[Comlink] 15:18, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Well actually, TCW retconned Anakin to be a Knight immediately after Geonosis... Drewton 20px (Drewton's Holocron) 15:24, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Leland Chee has stated that a new Clone Wars timeline will eventually be developed. But the film does indeed take place in 22 BBY. Grand Moff Tranner 20px (Comlink) 16:10, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Um, wow. At least that makes sense in terms of when they'd try to take the major hyperspace lanes, but basically killing hundreds of comics and novels? Just...wow. -Milo Fett[Comlink] 22:17, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
  • I agree completely, I severely hope that they find a way to make this work in the existing timeline because I personally enjoyed the plots in the books and comics much more. Oh well. . . Y-AT 22:31, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
    • Do they really have to muddle the canon wars even more, though? They're screwing over the people who actually care about how it all fits together in favor of 8-year-olds who don't know the difference anyway. Really now, Lucas. -Milo Fett[Comlink] 04:04, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
So far, I haven't seen anything that absolutely negates anything already published or produced. To me it seems the movie and TV show pick up at a point sometime after episode 21 of the CW cartoon and before episode 22. I did some of my own work on a Clone Wars timeline with the comics, novels, and cartoons and found that while it appears to be pretty tight, there are some gaps wherein an episodic series could be made to fit. We might have to create some fanon explanations for a few apparent continuity gaffs, but I don't think any are irreconcilable so far. Medleystudios72 04:33, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
  • I don't really read the comics but I do know that when Obi-Wan was captured on Jabiim Anakin was placed in a padawan pack and then Ki-Adi-Mundi temporarily became his master. All this happens one year after the movie, yet the movie says he is a jedi knight already. Again I don't read the comics so I could be wrong...but the way I see it the movie cancels out Anakin ever joining the padawan pack and ever having Ki-Adi-Mundi as a master, which is one example off the top of my head of how the movie negates the comics. Y-AT 20:46, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Ironic. I just wrote about this topic on the talk page of film novellization. Guess I just repost it here:
  • Actually, there is a MAJOR problem with the new Clone Wars timeline in general. We do not know where to put The Clone Wars film, TV series and their novellizations. This new series completely ignore alredy pre-established timeline (you can thank George Lucas for that) and the only thing we know for sure is that the movie and its novellization take place at 22 BBY, several months after the battle of Geonosis. Yes, we all know that it conflicts with both Jedi Trial and the Republic comic series, but there is currently no way to resolve this problem. Keep in mind that the movie will be followed by at least two seasons of TV series, covering the entire war and very likely creating more continuity issues. It is said that Leeland Chee is working on the new Clone Wars timeline, shifting dates around and trying to keep the old matherial in continuity, but it was already announced that this new timeline will not be made public anytime soon. Until then we have to place the movie and its novellization in 22 BBY, so we can't put them after Jedi Trial. At the same time we cannot move Jedi Trial and the Republic stories earlier in the timeline, because we don't know how it will affect other non-Anakin related Clone Wars stories (which, I repeat, may also became subject of future continuity debates). So, what should we do as an encyclopedia, you might ask? The answer is actually simple: put a note about two conflicting timelines in the BTS section of every article that was affected by the new series. {{Twoconflicting}} template is another way to do the same. This way we will still provide information as accurate, as possible, and notify people that it isn't Wookieepedia who screwed things up, but LucasLicensing itself. Of course the very thought that such condition with unspecified timelines may last for years is very unpleasant, but there is nothing we fans can do. You can blame George Lucas if you want, I'm already tired of it.Mauser 20:56, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Aside from pacing, character development, etc., have they said that there's any reason in particular they put the new stuff at the beginning of the war? They easily could have just done the "late war" era like in CW Vol. II. They refer to Jabiim in the novel, retconning that to happen early in the war. Are they just going to cram everything where Anakin was a padawan (and looked and acted as such) into the first year, or what? This has to be the biggest retcon they've ever done, in terms of material. -Milo Fett[Comlink] 18:28, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Personally, having seen the movie and been appalled by it, I'm ignoring it, its novelization, and the TV series that is following in favour of the existant (and in my opinion, vastly superior) novels, comics, microseries etc. I only share this opinion in hope of reminding other fans that the new movie has, in fact, "killed" nothing whatsoever :) -Kev-La Ttolya 13:28, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Creatures

The creatures list in the article lists "Nuna" but I don't recall seeing any in the film. I did see what appeared to be a family of Galoomps on Tattooine and they are not listed. I think maybe one was confused with the other when the creaturs list was made. However, mine is original research, comparing what I saw to "The Wildlife of Star Wars: A Field Guide." I don't have any official source speficying that one did and another didn't appear in the film. So I'm not editing the page - I just wanted to bring it to someone's attention so that they might look into it. Thanks.

Medleystudios72 04:20, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Nunas are seen burrowing in the sand, and in another scene. 63.64.127.64 22:21, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
I saw that. Those looked like Galoomps to me, not Nuna.
Medleystudios72 22:53, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
    • I thought that these are Galoomps too, as they were digging in the sand, which is what Galoomps apparently do. I added them with a question mark next to their name a week ago because I wasn't entire sure that they were Galoomps, but it must have since been removed. However, I'm fairly sure that they aren't Nuna. NighthawkLeader 04:13, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
  • They were nunas. Remember that Jabba keeps them around. I'm sure many others saw that they were nunas. I'd believe the creators took a simplistic approach, by throwing in creatures (nuna) seen on Tatooine in TPM, over a creature (galoomp) only used once in an art book. 71.217.5.241 20:32, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Jungle Rancor: Deleted Scene from Teth?

Is it popping up in the series? 71.217.5.241 20:38, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

  • All the deleted scenes will be in the 2-disc Clone Wars dvd.Stormie Fan 17:59, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Preceded by

Would it be reasonable to say the movie is preceded by Clone Wars chapter 21? It's the chapter where Anakin becomes a Knight, and chapters 22-25 are all a continuous story leading to RotS. --68.38.156.187 02:24, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

  • There are a whole slew of continuity issues to be addressed (not the least of which being T-canon's pre-eminence over C-canon), so for now this takes place in 22BBY... somehow. Dangerdan97 21:51, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
    • To Chaos with this movie! Poor John Ostrander and Jan Duursema... LelalMekha 11:57, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Marathon

I think that there should be a maraton of all the Star Wars movies, like from 1-6, all 25 CW epidoes, the special ECt.

--67.242.64.116 20:43, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

  • Not to be mean or anything, but did you mean to somehow connect this comment to discussion of this wookieepedia page? Perhaps in regards to continuity or something? Medleystudios72 14:43, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Add TB-2 under 'Characters'

According to Star Wars: The Clone Wars (novel), TB-2 was the droid that aided Rotta on Twilight. Thanks. 71.217.5.241 04:55, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Add neebray under 'Creatures'

According to Rookies' episode guide on the OS, a neebray was present on Tatooine in the film. Thanks. 63.64.127.64 23:30, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Source for 22 BBY?

I keep seeing this bandied about that the movie officially takes place in 22 BBY, but where is the source for this?--Anderson 08:03, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

  • I believe I'm correct in stating that the source is the novelization of the the film. It is officially considered canonical. However, whether you yourself accept this as true of your 'take' on the Star Wars universe is, of course, entirely up to you. For instance, as far as I am concerned, the events of the film and its novelization never 'occurred' :) -Kev-La Ttolya 08:40, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
    • I'm curious about this because the whole bone of contention for contradictions between new and old Clone Wars stuff is that date. If it turned out that this was just some number that someone pulled out of their ass and is not official, then the new Clone Wars could be assumed to take place later in the War and not contradict anything.--Anderson 09:19, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
      • Indeed. However, I still have a problem with such things as infiltration of a droid-filled deflector-shielded area using a cardboard box and Clones who know fear (Oddball almost wetting himself and Obi-Wan telling him it happens to everyone... errr, no!). And don't even get me started on Ahsoka Tano. She makes Jar Jar seem positively cool! -Kev-La Ttolya 11:41, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
        • Look I don't particularly care if you enjoyed the movie, I just want to know if this official source for the date actually exists.--Anderson 04:08, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
          • OK, there's no need to get riled. I've told you what I think is the source. I wasn't trying to change any opinion you might have about anything. I only mentioned (and clearly stated that it is merely) my personal opinion in case you were suffering under the delusion that what Lucasfilm states is official should somehow affect your own imagination. If you don't like that the film is set in 22 BBY, set it whenever you like in your head. Or don't. It is entirely up to you! -Kev-La Ttolya 18:26, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
              • The reason I was getting annoyed was that you kept going on about how much you thought the movie sucked, but all you had to answer my question with was "I think this is the source". Using my imagination for making my own personal canon is cool, but it doesn't help with editing this Wiki. I just wanted confirmation from someone who has the book to say "yah it says 22 BBY".--Anderson 07:20, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
                • I must admit that I find myself surprised that you were annoyed by my sharing my personal opinion IN ADDITION to answering your question. It certainly was not my intention to annoy you, but rather, to help you. -Kev-La Ttolya 16:32, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
            • There's also the narrator at the start of the film mentioning Dooku's forces striking swiftly after the Battle of Geonosis, seizing control over major hyperspace lanes and separating the Republic from the majority of its clone army. This necessitates their bargain with Jabba. VT-16 18:47, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
              • This is true, but then again it depends on what you mean by "swiftly".--Anderson 07:20, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
                • Right after the battle itself. And the novelization says it's been a only few months after Geonosis. VT-16 07:52, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
                • How many is a few? In a few months it will be 2009. And`swiftly is not very clear. It's not even clear when in relation the movie is to this "swiftly after Geonosis". I know I'm splitting hairs here, but the 22 BBY year causes problems for continuity and it seems the number isn't even official. Unless there is one of those handy timelines they have at the beginning of the Novels which includes the Clone Wars novel, I'm really starting to get the impression that the year the movie takes place in is ambiguous at the moment.--Anderson 09:33, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Oh and the reason I'm going on about this is because currently at the top of the page for the Clone Wars, there is a big thing that says:

There are two conflicting canon sources for this article, from Star Wars: The Clone Wars and almost every other source covering some aspect of the Clone Wars.

A cohesive timeline has not yet been devised by Lucasfilm Ltd. Editor discretion is advised.

If my hunch is correct about the year, then these things don't conflict at all.--Anderson 09:41, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

  • But the book said it had only been a few months since the battle of Geonosis. It's not ambigious at all. I really don't care if it conflicts, most of the stories could be herded into a few months before this film anyway. I see no reason to suddenly build up the war in its last few months like I've seen in novels and comic books so far. VT-16 13:38, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
    • I just keep seeing 22 BBY slapped on all the TCW articles, but until they come out with something more definitive that says "this happened in 22 BBY" like the timeline at the beginning of the novels or an official statement from Leland Chee we should err on the side of "we don't know when this happened" rather than the weird thing we have going where Anakin is a Knight and a Padawan at the same time and Grievous is known and unknown at the same time.--Anderson 20:40, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Also Leland Chee said this:

When in the blazes are we going to get a new Clone Wars timeline? I'm not seeing a new official published timeline anytime soon. Everything fits somewhere in that between 22 BBY and 19 BBY period. http://forums.starwars.com/thread.jspa?threadID=266625&tstart=0

So his statement seems to indicate that TCW Movie and show could happen at pretty much any point in the timeline. Pretty much ambiguous.--Anderson 20:51, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Not according to the novel, and not according to the helmets the clones are using. VT-16 21:29, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
    • The novel isn't clear. The helmets don't mean much. It's not like the day 21 BBY began the clones turned in their helmets and got new ones.--Anderson 21:53, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
      • The novelization of the film states that it is set in 22 BBY. You can't get much clearer than that. What is unclear is how the all-too-plentiful clashes this causes with already-existing canon are going to be resolved. Many, many fans, myself included, are eager to learn the answer to that question. However, for the moment, no answer seems to be forthcoming. So, the obvious (albeit far from perfect and hopefully only temporary) solution is for Wookieepedia to list the only date supplied (22 BBY) and add a banner warning of the current contradiction evident in canon. Which is what has been done. -Kev-La Ttolya 05:02, 18 November 2008 (UTC)
        • Yeah, well remember Labyrinth of Evil and the Episode 3 novel? Those were helpful enough! Some novels can be corrected afterwards by motion pictures, you know.

Anyway, remember the fact that the Venator-class Star Destroyers didn't exist until 20 BBY? The series has to be set in that year! Just look at the starships' first years and we'll find the answer. DarthWill3 15:53, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

  • Comic says 22 BBY. Finally an answer. That means the ships get retconned backwards. VT-16 18:51, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Clone Commander on Teth

I was wondering if anyone has any info on the name or designation of the Clone Commander on Teth, the one that informs Windu of the bounty hunters? Also, what kind of armor is he wearing? I love the look of it. Thanks in advance. O-ChampionOfTheForce-o 03:05, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

luminara unduli

Luminara appears in the scene where Yoda and Palpatine are talking in the Chancellor's office towards the beginning of the movie. She is standing next to Plo Koon. Etan O'Hara 13:05, 14 December 2008

screwing everything up.

OK... I would like to just say that george lucas needs to remember his starwars isnt the only starwars. I know leland chee is working on it, but this defies the following clone wars books & comics: ALL. It also defies the following MOVIES: Revenge of the sith. oops, george, hmmm....anakin didnt have a padawan there! wow... how are the gonna solve this muck?74.186.151.239 00:08, 28 December 2008 (UTC).

I would say this has nothing to do with improving the article. But, I was going to suggest that something happens to Ahsoka, like she dies, ('cause Anakin loses everything/one he loves) or she ascends to knighthood early and he has a hard time letting go of her. Yoda did comment on such a situation in the film. NOW, no more discussions on things that aren't improving the article. ZEM talk to me! 00:02, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Saber Tanks and Providence-class Destroyers.

I'm wondering why they're in the "appearance" section of this and the Clone Wars series. I've yet to see or hear anything about Saber Tanks being in the series and the entries for those two things don't even have appearances in this movie listed. So what gives?

If I know anything at all about wikis, it is that people often put their fanon in with real stuff. I'm an admin on several wikis, I oughta know. I personally don't know about what types of Tanks and Destroyers appeared, but if you do, I advise you to edit the article to reflect what actually appears. I hope this helps. ZEM talk to me! 00:02, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

But this page is set to not allow anyone to edit it, that's why I mentioned it here.

Oh, I see. Somebody already fixed it. ZEM talk to me! 03:47, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
  • What about the Homing spiders and HMPs. I don't remember seeing them in the movie yet they're listed here too. Commanderbly42 15:15, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Scenes Picture

Please can my someone the scenes and planet picture from this site:[2] 700x394 send? —Unsigned comment by Kit Fisto38 (talk • contribs)

Flop?

Should the critic saying that the movie was flop really be in there when The Clone Wars made 60 million in profit? It just seems to give the wrong impression. Steves490 02:06, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

  • 60 million IS a flop by today box office standards. - JMAS Hey, it's me! 02:12, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Mistakes

Shoould we list the mistakes in the BtS section? For example at the end of Battle of Christphsys, when Ahsoka and Anakin are sitting, Ahsoka's backpack is smaller than the broken wall they are sitting on. As they stand up, the backpack is higher than the wall. My question applies to every episode as well. There are some unretconable errors. Darth Morrt 20:24, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Little help guys?

I'm planning to upload the shot from the film to the Jedipedia (finnish-version of Wookiepedia), the one that shows the Grievous, Tambor, Dooku and Gunray abroad the starship. But since it flashback, I need to know what time it was. "...during the time of ???". What time it was when they were there? Little help guys? (sry my imperfect english). --Kreivi Wolter 18:38, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

  • Since it's a flashback, we don't specifically know. CC7567 (talk) 19:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
Well, thanks anyway.--Kreivi Wolter 09:06, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Eighth Star Wars film in theaters?

The article in its current form reads:

"It was the eighth Star Wars film to be released in theaters..."

Episodes I-VI and this film are seven of them, but what's the eighth one? LS Lover 21:57, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

  • Not sure the article is talking about that, but, at least in France, The Ewoks: Caravan of Courage has been released in theaters. -- Kaal 10:26, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Armor

How come the clones wear phase 1 armor but color means unit not rank?
