Alright, I saw tonight's episode. I'm not going to flat out hate the series, but it isn't winning me over at all. If I have to compare it to the first animated series, I think the cartoon version is still significantly better. Maybe this series need to get going, although it seems the next episode is worth watching (hopefully).
-first, I hope the droids would honestly shut up. Maybe the kids think they are funny, but I went from tolerating them from the first 2 episodes to flat-out hating them. I know Episode III's "humor" mostly came from tidbits from the droids, but I think this is going way, way too far. Stop with the droids, god****. Are they suppose to be individuals and free-thinkers or something? I liked them better as cannon fodder.
-secondly, the CIS and the droid army are portrayed as a bunch of incredibly incompetent morons ... to the point which makes the whole element of danger of facing them rather ... shallow. I mean, it seems they, the droids especially, are so bad at what they are doing, it sometimes hard to view them as nothing more than comedy relief. The original Star Wars movies shined when it focused on a conflict against a cruel and oppressive force ... but the CIS appear so fragile and moronic ... kinda kills off the tension and mood.
-third, the writing is really getting annoying. Are these the same writers from the animated series? Or are they selected from George Lucas himself? I know this is a series made for cable television but would it hurt to not use a sarcastic comment after every 3 lines?
Meh.
