Didn't want to accidentally forget this or anything over the next few days with the business of Christmas, so.... Merry Christmas(or whatever holiday it may be that you celebrate) to everyone! I hope you have a happy and "cheerful" holiday!(; And May the Force be With You!

Catching Up. . .
Well, I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while guys! But a lot of you have still been faithful, I can see by the amount of views still coming in despite my absence! I'm sorry I haven't been doing the reviews on the Clone Wars episodes! I truthfully have been not watching them as they come out a lot of the time. Just have things to do, and with the movement to Saturday morning, I often don't get to watch them until the afternoon, and then I don't really feel like writing reviews... But, I'm going to sum up my reviews on the past episodes I've missed right here and now...
I'll do another short review of the on-going ARC when it's completed and then try to get back on track! :) Until then, MTFBWY!
Onderon ARC:
The Onderon ARC had a rocky start. I personally felt like I was watching a teenage girl's show the majority of the time through the first episode... However, it did pick up and with each episode got better. The end was sad, but very well done. Overall, it was a great ARC!Youngling ARC:
I loved this ARC all the way through! The third was not my favorite, but the others were very awesome! And I have to mention that Gungi and Katooni are my favorite two! Anyway, really great ARC and I loved it A LOT! :)I'll do another short review of the on-going ARC when it's completed and then try to get back on track! :) Until then, MTFBWY!

Leia and Luke confirmed to be in Episode VII!
It seems that the Saga will, in fact, be continued!
Rather than following a completely new story,
the story, at least for now, will be a combination of old and new.
Which I think is what the fans really wanted anyway!

Thanks for reading! Until next time, MTFBWY!

New Ahsoka Figure!
Ok, so, I'm sitting in my house, and, all of the sudden, my dog starts barking. I look out the window and see that it's the mail man dropping off a package. After he left I walked out to the package, and saw that it was from Amazon. Well, my first thought is, "What can this be?! The only shipment I'm expecting from Amazon is the new Ahsoka figure and a Luke Skywalker figure(sent in the same package), but the Ahsoka figure isn't supposed to come out until November 22!" Well, I opened it up, and, to my extreme delight, I found the Ahsoka and Luke figures I had ordered! I'm seriously ecstatic right this second! I looked on line to see if the date was changed, and it has; you can now buy the figure on Amazon, there's no pre-order anymore. But still! To be one of the first to hold this figure! I'm so happy! Once again, my Ahsoka figure collection is complete! If you haven't noticed, I'm a bit of an Ahsoka fanatic! :D So, for those of you who pre-ordered, be looking for it in the mail! And for those who didn't, I recommend buying her now on Amazon.com before her price skyrockets. Otherwise, be on a close lookout for her in the stores! :) Well, until next time, MTFBWY!

Cartoon Network, or Disney XD?
This is my only remaining worry about the Star Wars universe at the moment, and that is, will Clone Wars remain on Cartoon Network, or will Disney bring it over to one of their channels, most likely being the Disney XD channel. I'm actually really not even sure what I think I want to happen anyway...
Click here to see the article...
Reasons to stay on Cartoon Network...
That's where it's always been! I just feel like, sometimes, you find a home, and you don't want to leave it! Another reason is that Disney XD seems more like a younger child's station, and I think SW has gotten enough misconception about who the franchise is meant for already! Also, for me personally, most of the shows on Disney XD are stupid and immature and, again, meant for a younger audience specifically. I only watch Tron: Uprising on that channel, and it's not the best of shows, but I still find it entertaining. I think if Disney really wants to move TCW, it would be better to take it to ABC Family, maybe. But I'm not really thinking Disney XD would be a great choice...
Reasons to move to Disney XD...
Well, I never really did like Cartoon Network. Their shows are also mostly immature and strange. I never had left the tv on that channel for very long before TCW came out. And I only watch TCW and Looney Tunes on it now. There's also the new Saturday morning time that I don't like. This could change if the show moves to a different channel.
I'm really undecided though. What do you guys think? I'm thinking either stay on CN or go to a channel like ABC Family, though I'm not even sure about that... Gahhh! I just don't know! haha
Well, I guess that concludes this post... Until next time, MTFBWTCW and you!

Remember when I said...
Ok, so remember when I was really upset about hearing of the creation of Episodes VII to IX to come, and I said it would take A LOT to get me to go and see them? Well, I thought about it, and, I'm still not crazy about it, BUT, I realized something about this that made me feel, well, differently toward it... Actually a few things...
First Reason: I now know exactly what people were going through when they found out about the Prequels(I think). Well, the point is, I wasn't a Star Wars fan before any of the prequel trilogy episodes hit theatres. I think I have made these statements before on this blog, but for those of you who haven't heard... I never knew about the dislike of the OT(by those who only like the PT), and the even greater dislike of the PT(by those who like the OT only). I thought of Star Wars as a whole, not two segregated parts in which people chose which they liked better. I never knew about this until I was wearing a Star Wars t-shirt in a store and someone asked me what my favorite episode was... I naturally replied with the truth: "I would have to say it would be a tie between Episodes I and VI." Now, my views on the subject of favorite SW movie have changed somewhat since that time, but that's regardless of the point... The person answered, "Wow! Really? I never heard of anyone who like both trilogies." My natural thought was "What do you mean?? Why wouldn't anyone like both trilogies?! They are both Star Wars after all, aren't they?" I didn't quite understand his meaning for that statement for a while... That is, until I got involved with the online Star Wars social media available through sites like facebook, blogger, twitter, youtube, etc. Then I got to see it first hand, yet, I still never understood it! After all, George started with Luke's story, yes, but even before Empire Strikes Back was released he was talking about making the PT! It was always in the vision, so why would anyone think differently of it, regardless the fact that it is ALL STAR WARS! My thoughts on that never changed, however, what I was blindly doing was discouraging the development of the ST(sequel trilogy)! I was doing exactly what people had been doing before the PT! I just recently realized this when I saw...
Second Reason: While exploring StarWars.com I came across a post entitled The Long, Winding, and Shapeshifting Trail to Episodes VII, VIII, & IX(click here to see.) Please read the blog post in the link before continuing to read mine... All of the sudden so much knowledge and understanding flowed into my then wide opened brain! "Wow! I never knew this before! The original plan was to have TWELVE episodes??" I couldn't believe what I was reading! By the time I reached the section stating that the saga was then condensed into just nine episodes, I was actually disappointed! After reading the post I sat there and thought, "Wow, what have I been thinking? This was Lucas's vision! Who am I to argue with the one who, without him, none of us would even be here!" Now, yes, there is the fact that George Lucas(at least I don't believe) hasn't actually written a script, and he has now passed the SWUniverse onto Kathleen Kennedy(a name SW fans will be hearing a lot of in the year to come, seeing that she is the new 'George Lucas'), BUT, he did give her all of his ideas and will be serving as her creative consultant, whose to say that it won't be good before we know ANYTHING about it! And, my hope are heightened by this blog post because it says that many of the books and stories created to take place after Episode VI were based off of Lucas's own notes for this time period. So it wouldn't be hard for them to stay with canon after all, and they, seemingly, won't need to smash down any canon(and anger SW fans) to make this new movie.
Now of course, we'll always remember the classics! Episodes IV-VI truly are, THE BEST! Though the action scenes may be lacking due to the lack of ability when they were made, the stories were great, and they are what started it all! But, we should keep an open mind to the future for more generations to enjoy, for the saga to live on, and for many people to love for years to come! :D
I hope maybe this post had an impact on your thoughts on the upcoming films! I know I've changed my mind! But, let me know what you think! Until next time, MTFBWY!

Lucasfilm is now owned by Disney...
Well, Disney now owns the rights to Lucas Film. It has also been revealed that there will, in fact, be an Episode VII to come out in 2015 followed by Episodes VIII and IX coming in 2-3 year intervals after that. What are your thoughts on this new "partnership" and the new revelation of the continuation of the saga? I guess I'm ok with the Disney "partnership," however, I am extremely disappointed to see that Episodes VII-IX will be coming out.
I'm not sure if I've talked about this subject on this blog before, but I don't think these episodes would be necessary. I used to think it would be too hard to make, as well, with all of the comics and books taking place in those years to come. However, seeing how they do things in TCW animated series, I don't think they really care about EU unless it is major like The Old Republic or The Force Unleashed. And then there's always the fact that the actors are all old now... However, the movies are still proceeding, I fear the worst in the years to come... It will take a lot to convince me to see them...

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Review! Episode 5.01
Finally getting started! :)
I'll be going back to my previous way of reviewing this time.
Revival!
Pretty great episode! It wasn't the best, but good!
Overview: The quote was nice. I am partial against this episode because I don't believe Maul should have survived. I didn't like that the Twi'lek Jedi died right in the beginning! I was just wondering a few weeks ago actually, while watching Grievous Intrigue, if we would maybe see more of her this season. Guess that ruined that... The animation in this episode was good as always. The action was well done as well. I didn't really get them knocking everything over. But hey, they're Sith, they can do what ever they want, right? I think that Maul definitely regained his strength and abilities much too quickly, even for the darkside. And I feel like they degraded Maul from his former abilities. I also didn't understand why everyone thought that Maul and Savage were Jedi... Even Hondo! I loved Hondo's line "I'm so proud, but so betrayed." Made me laugh! The battle scene was very well done! And the duel was another epic one, not falling short of the previous duel in Revenge! Though that one was slightly better because Ventress survived, unlike Adi Gallia... She was one of my favorite Jedi. It was sad to see her go. I still couldn't believe that they would start the season with her death however... The final duel between Maul and Savage was one of the best! The moves each of the three pulled off were incredible! Kenobi with two lightsabers was amazing to see! I didn't care either way about Savage's arm. I was really happy to see Maul's leg get shot off later though! Hondo's lines are always the best: "Insolence? Ha! We are pirates! We don't even know what that means!" The show of Maul and Savage's vulnerabilities was great! Even the "great" Maul can't survive everything! Though I still wait for the day that peaceful canon can resume with the death of this monster. Obi-Wan must have his moment! Again remembering Ian Abercrombie by hearing the difference in the voice. However, I believe that they could have left out that line, or kept it the way it was, or whatever they changed it for. It most likely would have been better...
Story Line and Dialogue: I feel as though most of the time the writers have a hard time creating convincing dialogue and flowing story line. However, the episode was still well done and I enjoyed the story.
Disappointments: Well, one of my obvious disappointments is the return of Maul, but that's besides the point of this episode alone. I thought, again, that the dialogue was somewhat lacking. I also don't think it was a good idea to kill Gallia right off the bat, and I wish they wouldn't have at all. Again, I was disappointed that they threw in "They're just petty crooks" or whatever Palpatine said, with the new actor. I also wish the premier would have been an hour-long premier, but it was still good.
Conclusion: Overall the episode was great! Besides multiple canon issues and some lack in areas, the episodes was really great! It is definitely on the higher end of best Season Premiers, and it ranks 3rd in my favorite Season Premiers after Season 2 and Season 3! I rank this episode a 7/10. Be on the lookout for my review of the Onderon arc to come soon! Until then, MTFBWY!

for the entire Onderon series.
Thanks for still staying loyal everyone!

New Layout!
Hey everyone! What do you think of the new layout??
Let me know! I'd love to hear your opinion!
I thought I'd change up the design a little, since I have had it
the same since I started the blog...
Anyway, hope you guys like the new fonts,
colors, layout and background!
Not sure if I'm entirely done yet, but this is it for now! :)
By the way, everyone, I'm sorry for my inactivity!
I'm not sure if I'm going to be doing reviews this year, I guess I
could review the first episode, and then the next four(the on-going
four-part-arc) all together when they are over.
I'll definitely try! :)
Until next time, MTFBWYAlways!(:

Fan Art: Ahsoka's Fate
Here's a Special Edition Fan Art of Ahsoka Tano!
The FA here covers much of Ahsoka's life, all contributing to her fate.
This post is also in anticipation of Season 5, which premiers a week from today!
It has been said that this will be a big year for Ahsoka, so what do you think will happen?
In the comment box bellow, please share your opinion of what will happen to Ahsoka!
In Season 5, and in the entire scheme of things!
Here's my opinion: I believe that Ahsoka will survive Season 5. However, I think she will release some things this season, about her destiny, her master, the Republic, Lux. Little seeds, which, I believe, will lead her to leave the Republic, eventually, and run away with Lux. This is how I believe she will be able to survive(maybe Rex goes with her too). Although, she could stay with the Republic and it would make sense for her not to be in Episode III, is Barriss with Luminara on Felucia? No, in fact she's not in the movie at all, however, she is alive during that time. I believe then that it's possible she could just be separated from her master during that time period. However, to continue, I think(and really hope) that through my idea, or some other way, she will survive Order 66 and start her own Rebellion(therefore bringing us smoothly into the live action show, said to take place between Ep. III and IV). Well, that's my idea. Please feel free to share yours in the comment box below! I'll be sharing your thoughts in a special post next Friday! Until then, MTFBWY!

Could Season 5 of Star Wars the Clone Wars be the end?
I know Season 6 was confirmed, but could this season, be the last?
When the new date and time were released this year,
two thoughts popped into my mind:
"Seriously?!?!"
And then, "Either they're going down the drain, or they're about to be."
And now I found this . . .
Star Wars - The Clone Wars line, will it ever be picked up again?
Hasbro and JTA didn't really understand this question. The Clone Wars line will continue to see a decrease. They'd like to move the line completely into realistic style eventually once The Clone Wars TV show ends (which is inevitable at this point). The Clone Wars has been changed to the Saturday at 9:30 AM death slot this season. In fact, per our friends at SWActionNews.com, Arnie told us that Season 5 is being written in story arcs so that the show can be closed without any cliff hangers out of fear that there may be a mid season cancellation. It goes without saying that the toy line will be affected by this.

This website(click here) runs a Q&A from the collectors to Hasbro.
When asked the question above, they gave that answer . . .
I hope they will not be ending the series now, but, "I have a bad feeling about this . . ."

Star Wars: 1313
Lucasarts is coming out with a new video game! It seems really interesting! The name is Star Wars: 1313, but I don't know much more about it. I do know it's supposedly about a man(the man the player will play as) who, throughout the game, is trying to figure out a conspiracy surrounding a bounty hunter who roams sub-level 1313 on Coruscant.
Click here for the gameplay trailer for this new game! And here is an article excerpt from Wookieepedia on what the game is about...
Star Wars: 1313 is an upcoming video game.[4] It follows a bounty hunter navigating Level 1313, a subterranean metropolis within the planet of Coruscant.[5]
The game had its formal reveal at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in June 2012. The game is in development with various departments of LucasArts, Industrial Light & Magic, Lucasfilm Animation, and Skywalker Sound. It is based on the Unreal engine and is slated to feature full-body performance capture. The game will emphasize fast paced combat, centered around human skills and physical weapons instead of Force powers. The game also plans to feature a combination of cover-based combat, platform gameplay, and "playable cinematic gameplay."[5] The game will be released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC, but a release date has yet to be confimerd. Click here to see the rest of the article.
Overall, this seems like it will be an interesting game! I can't wait to find out more, and hopefully get it. The game will be released in xbox360, Playstation 3, and PC platforms. Click here for the rest of the Star Wars: 1313 album on my facebook page! Until next time, MTFBWY!

My 24 Week Plan to watch all of the Star Wars the Clone Wars episodes!
Week 14!!! Only 10 weeks left, do you believe it? And right about then we'll be going into Season 5!! This week's episodes: Evil Plans, Hostage Crisis, and Hunt for Ziro! I know a lot of people didn't like these episodes, and I wasn't really crazy about them, they're not my favorites, but they still are enjoyable and well done. I liked how we got to see more of Coruscant in Evil Plans. Hostage Crisis is added here as a chronilogical bonus piece, the episode isn't one of my favorites either. I think a lot of people associate the main character of the episode, Cad Bane, with its "greatness," but to me, his appearance in Season 2 was much better! Hunt for Ziro was cool! I liked seeing Quinlin Vos! Especially working with someone like Obi-Wan. Made for good comedy. However, in cunclusion, I liked the trilogy arc of Bane in Season 2 a lot better than these episodes.

My 24 Week Plan to watch all of the Star Wars the Clone Wars episodes!
Week 13! I am so sorry about this one being so late! Last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday I was busy helping with a graduation party. And the rest of the week I just had so much going on! I'm also really sorry about not getting the pictures done! It's been a long day for me today and I barely feel up to posting this so... But here I am! (by the way, this is last week's post.) This week's episodes: Corruption, The Academy, and Assassin. I know a lot of people don't like these episodes, but I really did! I love getting to see Star Wars out of it "comfort" zone. I love seeing new things and how the war is having it's effects on people not just directly through the fighting but indirectly, as well, through financial troubles, collateral damage, and corruption, as we see in these episodes. I also like to see senators out of their comfort zone, fighting for their life.
Again, sorry about the picture, I will be catching up soon! :)

My 24 Week Plan to watch all of the Star Wars the Clone Wars episodes!
Week 12! Wow, half way through!!!! And we're at the season premier of Season 3! This week's episodes: Clone Cadets, Rookies(occasionally I add episodes that occur in order in a series!), ARC Troopers, Supply Lines, and Sphere of Influence! Clone Cadets was undoubtedly one of the best episodes of the season, however, in my opinion, that two part arc was only made good by Clone Cadets. ARC Troopers was a great episode, and I enjoy watching it, but I often think it's only given it's great credit due to the episode associated with it. Supply Lines was a great episode! I loved revisiting Ryloth, however, I was always under the impression that it was a sequel to the three part Ryloth arc in Season 1 because of the fact that the freedom fighters were working with Ima-Gun, but they weren't until the end of the Season 1 arc. Yet, a lot of people say it was a prequel, so I don't know. But aside from that it was a great episode with great emotion. Sphere of Influence was really cool too! I loved seeing Riyo again, and her working with Ahsoka was cool! I loved the action too! And seeing Greedo was cool! Even aside from the controversy which I don't agree with, I think that Greedo was old enough to be in that episode. I can't wait to watch these episodes again!
Sorry for not getting the pictures up! But the past two weekends were pretty busy for me, and, now, I'm sick! sorry guys, hopefully next week I'll be able to catch up!

My 24 Week Plan to watch all of the Star Wars the Clone Wars episodes!
First of all, so sorry that I got this up so late! And that I still haven't gotten the pictures for the last one of this one done yet! The past about five days have been really busy for me(The art contest post was pre-written a while ago, so I didn't have to do much with that)! But, anyway, it's week 11! Wow, we are at the season finally of Season 2! Exciting! This week's episodes: Death Trap, R2 Come Home, and Lethal Trackdown! These are all really great episodes! Boba Fett was very awesome! And it was great to see him come into the series! I really enjoyed watching these episodes again!

Upcoming Elite Art Contest!
Hey everyone! I've been wanting to do one of these for a while now! And now that the summer's coming, I can't wait to get started! In this post I'll tell you about how you can enter, and what you can enter!
Categories:
I decided to put categories into this art contest to give different styles of art a better chance at winning something! There will be two main categories with three subcategories each.
The first main category is "Saga/CW." This category will include pictures from the saga(episodes I-VI) and pictures from the CW(both the old and new). The first subcategory is "Traditional." This includes any hand drawn pictures(not including those drawn or colored on the computer). Next we will have "Coloring." This will be any picture that has been colored(if drawn, then colored, it will go into the "Traditional" subcategory/does not include those colored on the computer). Next comes "Digital." This will involve anything done digitally: Digital edits of photos, pictures taken with a camera, or screenshots.
The next main category is "EU/Fan-fic." This category will include pictures from the Expanded Universe(anything other than the saga or Clone Wars) and those from your own fan-fics(stories/characters that you have made up). The subcategories are the same for this main category: "Traditional," "Coloring," and "Digital." The same as above applies to these.
Prizes:
There will be a prize for each subcategory. From those 6 winners, there will be a Grand Champion, and Reserve Grand Champion chosen by special guest judges(there will hopefully be three, and I will serve as a tie breaker, if needed)! The prize for "Saga/CW"-"Traditional" will be a special drawing of the Saga/Clone Wars(person to draw this not yet decided)! The prize for "Saga/CW"-"Coloring" will be a coloring page never seen before! And the prize for "Saga/CW"-"Digital" will be a digital wallpaper done specially for you! The same prizes will be given for the subcategories of the "EU/Fan-fic" category! The Grand and Reserve Grand Champions will receive a photo edited by me! Note: These prizes are to be for your personal use only, you may not put them on the Internet. There are also as a special screening of a movie, only a certain amount of people will see it at first, but later down the road it may be opened up to anyone who wants to see them!(the coloring pages may be posted online only after you have colored them.)

My 24 Week Plan to watch all of the Star Wars the Clone Wars episodes!
24 Week Plan week 10! Wow double digits! And it only gets better with the episodes! This week's episodes: Bounty Hunters, The Zillo Beast, and The Zillo Beast Strikes Back! I loved Bounty Hunters because we got to see Jedi and Bounty Hunters working together which we all know is one of the rarest things you could think of! It was also just a cool episode, I mean, we met Embo here! The Zillo Beast episodes were very cool indeed! I loved seeing Malastare and a rare creature and the diverse opinions of different people and the conflict even within one side of the war! It was very cool and I still can't wait for "Return of the Zillo Beast"(this is not an official title and no one actually knows for sure whether we will see a return of the Zillo Beast. They could keep it going with The Phantom Beast, Attack of the Beasts, and Revenge of the Dugs all of which would show the time in which the Zillo Beasts ruled Malastare!! haha)

My 24 Week Plan to watch all of the Star Wars the Clone Wars episodes!
24 Week Plan week 9! This week's episodes are controversial, however, I like them! This week's episodes: The Mandalore Plot, Voyage of Temptation, Duchess of Mandalore, Senate Murders, and Cat and Mouse! The Mandalore series was disliked by many due to conflicting information. But, I was not aware of any of these things before this, so I wasn't upset with them and I though they were really cool! Senate Murders was also disliked by many, but only because they dislike people like C-3PO, Jar Jar, and Padme, and pretty much protest any episode that involves them. However, I loved this episode! I have yet to dislike any Clone Wars episode, but, aside from that. I loved that they took some senators out of their comfort zones in the senate building! They also killed what could have been a main character, which was surprising. Cat and Mouse was just an amazing episode displaying more of Anakin's character! We also got to meet Admiral Trench(who I don't think we've seen the last of)! And we got an awesome battle scene! Overall, very controversial episodes, but I can't wait to re-live them!
The picture above is of Nomad Droids! The sixth in my series of wallpapers for all of the Season Four episodes! Hope you guys like it! Until next time, MTFBWY!

My 24 Week Plan to watch all of the Star Wars the Clone Wars episodes!
24 Week Plan week 8! We are now a third of the way through! It's gone by so fast! I'm pretty excited for parts of tonight! This week's episodes are: Grievous Intrigue, The Deserter, and Lightsaber Lost! Grievous Intrigue was a really cool episode! We brought in two new Jedi, Adi Gallia and Eeth Koth, that are really cool! I say we need to see more of the two! Plus it was just an awesome episode! We got to see more of Grievous vs Obi-Wan, which never fails to excite! A duel go on as the vacuum of space is trying to suck them out into it! And the whole episode took place with Anakin and Grievous coming withing feet of each other, but never even seeing each other! A very well done episode! We need more like it! Then we move down to the surface of the planet where Grievous flees in the episode The Deserter! Now, because of my moral views, this episode wasn't as good for me due to the attire worn by the farmer's wife. However, the story itself was good! Moving on to Lightsaber Lost we find Ahsoka on a mission with her master in which she loses her lightsaber. I think this episode was somewhat boring, but it did show us more of Ahsoka's developing character. It also showed us that she is learning, she is just a padawan, and she still does need guidance, and how she doesn't get all of her lessons from Anakin.

I'm really excited for this week!

My 24 Week Plan to watch all of the Star Wars the Clone Wars episodes!
24 Week Plan week 6! Season 1 is over now and we are moving on to Season 2! I have to say I've been pretty excited for this night! This week's episodes: Holocron Heist, Cargo of Doom, Children of the Force, and Senate Spy! Now, the primier episodes for Cad Bane was pretty cool, but truthfully, his best appearance was in the next three episodes! Cargo of Doom is one of my all time favorite episodes, and the other two are really awesome too! Senate Spy was a great episode as well! I liked how it showed a senator outside of the senate building in action! It was also nice to see Anakin's concern for Padme in the process of building up to Episode III.
This picture above is of Prisoners! It's the third in my series of wallpapers for all of the episodes in Season Four! Hope you enjoy it! Until next time, MT4BWY!

May the Fourth be With You!
Here is my drawing for Star Wars Day! Hope you enjoy it!
The M and B are kinda cut out, haha, my scanner wasn't big enough...
Hey everyone! I'd like to say... May the Fourth be With You!!! =D
May 4th is back for another year, and this year we are celebrating
with finally getting our Season 5 preview!
Click Here for a link to the new preview!
This preview looks awesome! I'm surprised that it seems like they
are bringing back Maul and Death Watch sooner in the year.
I would've thought they would have left those to more of the end of the season,
and I had suspisions that Maul might not even make an appearance in Season 5.
But dispite all that, this preview is really cool!
I'm so glad we finally got it and I can't wait for the next season
of Star Wars: The Clone Wars!

My 24 Week Plan to watch all of the Star Wars the Clone Wars episodes!
24 Week Plan week 5! This week's episodes: Storm Over Ryloth, Innocents of Ryloth, Liberty on Ryloth, and Hostage Crisis! The Ryloth series in Season 1 was phenomenal! It was great because they had three episodes that could function separately and even had separate characters than the others! It made for a great arc! Hostage Crisis, the first ever season finally! It was awesome, Cad Bane did not disappoint his already loyal fans!
The picture above is of Gungan Attack! It's the second in my pictures of each of the episodes from Season 4! As you may have noticed I added the border to give it a better quality as a wallpaper! I added this to last week's as well! Until next time, MTFBWY!

24 Week Plan! Back for Another Year!
Ok, so this is just a kick-off post to the 24 Week Plan for this summer. I wasn't going to do it this year, but I couldn't really think of any other cool thing to do for the summer, so it's back! However, I am a little behind with the posts... :/ But fear not, It's only two weeks :)
March 30th: Ambush, Rising Malevolence, Shadow of Mealevolence, Destroy Malevolence, and Rookies! Awesome episodes! They're the ones that no one will forget. The first five episodes of the entire series! :D
April 6th: Downfall of a Droid, Duel of the Droids, Bombad Jedi, Cloak of Darkness, and Lair of Grievous! These are some of the other classics from Season 1! The droid duo is one of my favorite arcs! :)
And this past Friday...
April 13th: Dooku Captured, The Gungan General, Jedi Crash, Defenders of Peace, and Trespass! The first of these never really was one of my favorites, but the rest are all classics in the Clone Wars series! :)
Hope you enjoyed this post. In conjunction with the 24 Week Plan this year, I will also be making a picture a week... These pictures will be of one of the episodes of Season 4 each! I'm excited for this! Hope you are too! Until next time, MTFBWY!

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Review! Episode 4.22
Revenge! Dark, sinister, incredible!
I thought the quote at the beginning was pretty funny, definitely made sense towards the end of the episode! I loved it when Savage first arrived on Dathomir and saw the fallen Nightsisters, it was a well done scene. I didn't understand what Mother Talzin meant when she said they would survive... Darth Maul looked like an innocent child chasing after an amusing sight that will lead him down a dark path. It was really gross when she was pulling the darkness out of Maul. And then she created mechanical legs out of just a few pieces of metal? I loved the animation of his eye when he woke up! I liked Maul's legs, they looked pretty cool! Maul's story was kind of creepy, but it did help to make his surviving a little more believable. Maul had a hard time forcing that lightsaber to him, understandable, but he regained his ability a little to quickly, I think. I knew exactly what was going to happen when they landed and the children ran towards them, it was so sad!
It was funny how everyone got silent when Asajj said she had the bounty for Savage. You could really tell the anguish in Obi-Wan's eyes when he arrived on the planet, just another indicator of good animation. You could also see the hate in Maul's eyes extremely well. His passion was, crazy! Obi-Wan didn't stand a chance against the both of them, sadly. The fact that Asajj came to Obi-Wan's rescue was pretty cool! An awesome seen seeing Asajj jump up into the ship as it took off. Asajj is still as aggravatingly funny as she was when she was on the bad side. Except now it's not as disgusting.
I loved it when Asajj gave Obi-Wan her lightsaber and we got four red blades dueling it out to the end. It made for a very neat looking battle! And I loved it! They all pulled off some incredible moves, making this, in my opinion, the duel of the series, and second only to the duel between Maul and Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon in the whole SW universe!!
Although I liked the completely red battle, it was cool when Obi-Wan got his lightsaber back and tossed Asajj's to her just in time! Maul's kicking moves were pretty cool! Although the icing on top of the cake was the ending when the Kenobi and Ventress were escaping and both side seemed to be one force against the other! Seeing Savage and Maul in somewhat of a defeat was a great near ending! And adding Ventress and Kenobi in the same ship not trying to kill each other, it was very nice! I wish either Maul or Savage or both of them would have died in this episode, but I did like the cliff-hangar ending! The thing is, we probably won't continue this story until at least mid-season in Season 5.
Hope you enjoyed all of my reviews for this season! I'm looking forward to being back on my CW reviews when Season 5 starts this fall! I'm hoping to get a review of the entire season up also! Until next time, my friends, MTFBWY!!!
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Review! Episode 4.21
Brothers! Creepy, yet satisfying! haha
This junk planet seemed spookier in the previews than in the episode. Reference to terminator?? "Get out!" -Savage/Terminator.... Haha Classic guy falling from cargo hold of ship, haha The ship strangely resembles a dog... I loved the music throughout this episode, very suspenseful and it did a very good job of keeping the mood in check! "Hey big guy," hilarious!! It's so funny when they all say "for the right price," then the person threatens them or something and there like, free works too! Hehe
The "fire-breathers" we're really cool. It was neat how the worm casually, narrowly escapes them. The "junkers" reminded me of Mars Needs Moms. I felt bad for them when Savage destroyed them, but it was cool! Acid rain was such a cool add to the mix! I kind of figured that Maul would be in the cave, the stars of shows always seem to get lucky like that, haha "She's not the only one who betrayed you!" I loved that line! And now the truth is revealed!
Echo, echo, echo! :) That was cool! This part was very creepy, and cool! For the first, and last, time I felt bad for Maul. I did feel bad for the worm though. I loved the ending scene of this episode, though when I first watched it I though, "that was the ending already?!" haha
Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed this review! Until next time, MTFBWY!

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Review! Episode 4.20
Bounty! A really emotional episode for me!
I forgot to mention it the last time we saw Boba, but I love how they are playing his, what I'm now calling, theme song whenever we see him. It brings back good memories of his first appearance in TCW and makes me want to watch those episodes again! Highsinger is really cool! I liked Boba's new outfit, but I thought I read that he resized and painted his father's armor right after the first battle of Geonosis.
The hangar way up in the sky was so cool looking, though I would probably get a sense of vertigo if I went up there.... The creatures on this planet look strange.... I love how Bossk is just standing there looking all tough with his arms crossed and looking at the screen out of the corner of his eye! It's so funny! It was so predictable that they weren't allowed to know what was in the box...
The scene where they are flying down the elevators was very cool! I just love the animation!! I like the armor that the people of this planet wear! I thought it was kind of strange that Boba, even though he's young, said, "You make the rules, I'll follow them." What a typical line that made me care even less about Latts, "Who cares? As long as we get paid!"
These mysterious warriors looked really cool! I love how Ventress just plays right along with Dengar's humor! The fist fight scenes were cool, but I honestly don't know why Ventress and Dengar didn't pull out their weapons right away... The swords were cool! Boba's learned to fend for himself since we last saw him! Back to my earlier statements about Latts, they all blew out the window right along with the guys she threw out with her weapons(I don't really know what they're called....)
It was so hilarious when Dengar put the detonators on the warriors, then looked at them with a smile! Then the warriors pull out their swords and Ventress is just like, "You wanna see a sword?" haha Then she just cuts them in half. The reactions to it were the best though! Then Dengar fell off, it was so sad!
An awesome scene when Boba was moving from the engine room to the place were the cargo was. And then the best line so far in the episode, "Oh, hey, boss... Better get down!" Then Highsinger lights up the warriors. The fighting scenes between Ventress and the warriors were incredible! I really enjoyed the action aspect of this episode!
It was kinda obvious, yet still sad, that Bossk was going to get kicked off as soon as he walked into that dark room. It was awesome when the leader came in! He was kinda too good, but still awesome! I loved it when the droid popper didn't do anything to Highsinger! The move the warrior leader pulled off to send Highsinger and Latts off the tram was epic! And then there were three... Oh never mind, it's two now...haha Now somebody pointed out that all it took was a tip of the box to open it, why didn't she open it and escape? Well, at the end we see the box can only be open from the outside... They could have shown it happen, but Boba must have hit the button when he fell over the box. It was obvious that she was on the other side even before she even hit him.
The whole smoke bomb thing was cool! And the ending fist fight was amazingly awesome! The girl was so sweet! I loved the line, "I wish I didn't, but I do..." :'( I thought it was funny when they had Boba say "Idear," no offense to anyone out there who says that, I just didn't know he spoke like that. I was kinda obvious that Ventress was going to help the girl and put Boba in the box, the classic switch on the wedding day! Haha What I wonder though, is who's driving the tram this whole time? Such a sweet scene when she let them go! :')
I think this episode was the first time I ever saw Ventress truly smile! I almost cried when Ventress said, "...now, I have a future"! I am so on Ventress's side now matter who she fights now! *Sniffle, sniffle(':*
Until next time, MTFBWY!

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Review! Episode 4.19
Massacre! I'm very excited about this one!
I'm not really sure about the quote. I thought they it was a little strange that the Nightsisters weren't as ready as they were before for someone's arrival, I wish they would have been... I was glad to hear that Ventress was leaving her "Sith" ways. I loved the scene as the Separatist leave to battle in the carriers, it was very good animation-wise, and it was a breath-taking scene! Some new ships have been added to the line of the Separatists, I probably just didn't notice them myself yet, though, haha.
The start of the battle was cool. It's kinda of funny that wherever Grievous can customize an area he will be in a lot, he makes it dark and green. Anyone else ever notice that? I have been cheering for Grievous since the news came that he and Ventress would battle, but hardly even half we through I shifted almost completely to Ventress's side. I thought that made it a very good story line that they carried the emotion strongly enough for me to change my emotional thinking half way through an episode!
Talzin's ball of defense and attack was really cool! I love the moves both Ventress and her sisters pull off in this episode! It's kinda strange that the Separatists tested this weapon back in Season One and now they are finally using it. When I watched this episode, I watched it with my nephew, and we were looking at each other like, "Zombies, again?! Awesome!!!!" haha. And then all of the sudden they all come running, and they just smash through the whole crowd of enemies! And Ventress steals a tank and blows up the other tank.
I'm not really a fan of the witches in Star Wars, just because I don't like the topic of witches, but the scene with Dooku was pretty cool. The duel between Grievous and Ventress was very well done! Then all the zombies run and jump on Grievous as Ventress gets away, could've figured something like that would happen... But I mean, you had to know it, cause both of them survive at least to the end of the Clone Wars.
Grievous and his army marching toward the cave was a cool scene! They really have been showing off their abilities in animation this season! The part where Talzin comes out of Dooku was, disturbing, haha. It was sad when the zombies dropped and the last of the Nightsisters were destroyed... Then Dooku threw up green mist, thought that was a little strange... The emotional scene between Ventress and Talzin was so gripping, and it even brought me further into becoming a fan of Ventress's.
Overall, the episode was very well done in all aspects, action, suspense, emotion, and story line! My thinking about Ventress has changed greatly with just one episode! I'm also glad that the rumor of a four part arc finale wasn't true, I think they had one too many this season already... Until next time, MTFBWY!
Star Wars: The Clone Wars Review! Episode 4.18
Crisis on Naboo! Really pleased with the episode!
Well, sorry I've been gone for so long, but I'm back now and ready to tackle all three of these reviews to tonight!One of the best quotes of this season at the beginning, it really rang more of a truth in real life than the rest. I liked seeing so many of the coolest Jedi in one room! I love most of Yoda's lines! Today he had one of the good ones. I love Embo!!! Sorry, back to the review, haha. Seriously though, I've grown to like a lot of these bounty hunters more through the past few episodes. With exception to Moralo. He was cool at the beginning, but he made my least favorite characters list, which is very short, so it takes a lot to get on that list.
Naboo is one of the most beautiful planets in the Star Wars galaxy, and I would love to live there! I think they did a very good job with portraying the beauty in this episode through incredible animation, which has, undoubtedly, gotten a lot better through the four years it's been up!
I loved the new outfits in this episode. I liked Bane's disguise. About half way through the two senate commando's conversation that I got that one of them was in disguise. Even though it was animation, the fireworks were still incredible and jaw dropping! I thought it was very clever when they switched the chancellor for the bounty hunter! However, during this scene, Embo was standing to the right of Twazzi, then they switched spots in the split second that they were off camera. Bane is always good with exits!
The third person talking of "Moralo Eval" was very annoying! I love bounty hunter fighting scenes! And so the truth is finally revealed. How blind these bounty hunters were, lucky for "Moralo" Dooku figured it out... But lucky for a happy ending, Obi-Wan figured out what Dooku had figured out... I like what they are doing with Anakin, putting doubts in his mind about the council, even Obi-Wan.
The chancellor's arrogance was disgusting. I love duels between Anakin and Dooku, because they continue to remind us that the Jedi are not all powerful, and, though Anakin may be the chosen one, he still is also not all powerful. Anakin pulled off some pretty cool moves in this episode though! The part with the chair was especially cool! And just when you think it's all over an the good side has won, Dooku sends his opponent, electrocuted, flying into a pillar high up in the air, yet he's able to get up and keep fighting? That part bugged me a bit.
And then again you think it's over and the bad guys have won, when Anakin and Obi-Wan come in and save the day one last time!! I love twist endings, though I wish we could have seen the chancellor kidnapped and another episode to show his rescue. Although this would have caused a subtraction of another episode from the season, and I'm sure you're already pulling out your list of episodes you'd like that one to be by now, but honestly, I really wouldn't change a thing this season! Except for maybe just having 23 episodes and a five part arc here, haha.
Overall it was a great episode and I can't wait to see more like this! But it saddens me to realize that there are only a few episodes left :'( As for this arc measuring up to it's two four part predecessors, I think it was up in the ranks, but the other two are still much better in a few ways. Well, until next time, MTFBWY!!!!!!

Star Wars: The Clone Wars Review! Episode 4.17
The Box! One of my favorite episodes... of the series!
The box was huge! It's surprising how much money one side will spend to defeat the other! How classic...one rule in the box, there are no rules, though Moralo seems to create some rules along the way... I love how Obi-Wan just saves everybody. Sorry, but I have to say this, I love Embo! The second challenge was very interesting, mesmerizing, and confusing! In other words, pretty cool! It's cool how they had the slow motion with suspenseful music, but I wish it was for one of the well known characters and lasted longer.
The third challenge was nerve racking! It really got good in this challenge when he said it was a 50/50 chance the serum would work, and the music was perfect during this part! It was funny when Obi said he killed Parwans. I love tension between evil leaders in episodes! It really shows why good guys win most of the time, because the bad guys are always against each other, just waiting for one little thing to make them all fall apart.
The sniper challenge was very intense! When the two targets popped up I was worried, and then he ran out of ammunition and I was really worried, and then the platform started to drop and (not because I was worried Obi-Wan would die, he's obviously not going to, but because I was wondering how he would be saved) I was extremely worried! It's a very good episode when they can make you worried for a character you know is going to live! I actually wasn't really surprised when Bane saved Hardeen. Although I did smile and congratulate Bane!
I really love Obi-Wan a whole lot more because of these episodes! We've seen a much cooler (for lack of a better word) side of him! I yelled "yes!" in my head when Ben threw the helmet off at Moralo, it's a lot more amazing when you can see people's faces in a fight! I'm so jealous of the bounty hunters, though...they only have to wait one day...we have to wait a whole week! Not fair! Haha
Overall, it was a great episode! It's definitely one of my favorites for suspense, characters, plot line, cool battle grounds(the box), and surprise endings! By the way, I have been forgetting to rate the episodes from 1-10 in my reviews... I rate this one a 10/10! I can't wait to see the last episode of this arc! I think this might be measuring up to the other two four part arcs, it might not pass either of them up, but it will probably only be behind by a tiny bit! Until next time, MTFBWY!
