"adult" story arcs. The first half of a season tends to be the former, while the really good stuff ... at least for fans over the age of 10 or so ... tends to occur in the back half.<br /><br />All the stuff with Darth Maul and his Clancy Brown-voiced bro is really great. adamarmourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04361116900351762285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-74480112331356200932014-12-03T10:17:32.839-06:002014-12-03T10:17:32.839-06:00Anyone who hasn't should check out the "S...Anyone who hasn't should check out the "Star Wars: Clone Wars" miniseries by Genndy Tartakovsky who helmed the excellent "Samurai Jack."

I guess with Dark Horse comics losing the license to Marvel, that stuff could be hard to find soon. I'm trying to get what I want before it's all out of print. I feel like what I've read was fun, but there's nothing life changing; the comics usually just show how badass Maul is and flesh out some of his origin. Come to think of it, I guess that's pretty cool after all.<br /><br />Also, the Darth Maul novel, <i>Shadow Hunter</i>, is pretty great. <br />Heath Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802874033845631338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-66965956504010588642014-12-02T20:07:18.315-06:002014-12-02T20:07:18.315-06:00I am going to have to dig up the Clone Wars now an...I am going to have to dig up the Clone Wars now and work my way through them. <br /><br />Since you guys mentioned Darth Maul, have you read any of the Dark Horse comics themed around him? I have not, I just know of them and was wondering if they are any good. <br /><br />Feeling inspired, I just search Youtube and found that some episodes of "Droids" have been uploaded. Now I just have to find some old "3P-Os" cereal to eat while watching them to recreate those Saturday mornings in 1985.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10475027751253870681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-4918325594229721622014-12-02T19:15:21.528-06:002014-12-02T19:15:21.528-06:00It's weirdly inconsistent in tone.

I'm going through them all again, season by season (I decreed tht 2015 will be the year of Star Wars in the Holland House, but I started early) and I'm taken aback by how some episodes seem geared for kids while other episodes are very adult in tone. When it's good, it's very good and fleshes out the characters in ways the movies didn't. Problem is, it isn't always good.Heath Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802874033845631338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-72288923272949822992014-12-02T15:55:12.516-06:002014-12-02T15:55:12.516-06:00The force is strong with this thread.

Which was produced and overseen by George Lucas? And that it was all his idea to do so? AND that Disney considers Clone Wars to be part of the official Star Wars canon outside of the films themselves? Can I end more sentences with question marks?! Granted, Darth Maul in Clone Wars is not nearly as cool as he was in Phantom Menace, but it's SOMETHING. It takes a bit of the salt out of the wound. And it's cool to think that the official timeline has him still floating around out there, robotic from the waist down, half-crazy, and looking for revenge.Heath Hollandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802874033845631338noreply@blogger.com
