#and I gotta say the red commander who earned his red jaig eyes was pretty entertaining and dramatic

So I finally watched the 2D clone wars show, and I gotta say, it’s PHENOMENAL!!!

I now adore every second of it, in all of its sassy, oversimplified, primitively scripted, 2D glory!!!

I LOVE how Kenobi spends practically the whole time 100% done with everything, Anakin really is a disaster at heart, half the time the animators zoom in on something, just to start at a picture of a droids face while it talks - with zero motion whatsoever, Windu’s rocket punches, Yoda’s dramatic expressions, PADME and the marriage drama, the bazooka ARC (that guy had tired Rex energy, I LOVED it), a very different perspective of the moments right before Kenobi and Skywalker enter the battle of Coruscant, and it clearly was so inspirational for so many other SW shows!!! Not to mention how it flushes out so many things I’ve always wondered about!

And this is where the tradition of warning Anakin of his fate begins! And he still doesn’t get it! AND he’s 100% dramatic ALL THE TIME!!!

It’s amazing!!!

But it does bother me how many of the clones are truly treated as disposable! It’s like the only ones that make it out of the conflicts are the Jedi and the Sith! They just got mowed down left, right, and center!!! It was so cruel to them!!! And they mostly avoided giving ANY of them names!!! Cody was in it, and 1 other named guy but I couldn’t figure out what his name was. The Commander in red who led the ARCs! They were the only clones that (mostly) survived!!! It was so sad to watch them all just get disposed of so quickly and easily! They didn’t have to do that!!!

#it got worse after they actually let us see that one clone trooper’s chin! #that was the only glimpse that there are humans under there #the armor was impressive and surpassingly accurate for a simplified drawing #but why did they treat them like they were expendable??? #the Jedi know better than that! #is this why they started the Clone Wars 2008 with Yoda talking about their individuality and Plo telling them they’re not expendable to him #was it because of this show??? #WE NEED TO KNOW THESE THINGS DAVE!!! m #AND WHERE WAS REX!!! #the beloved captain was NOT IN IT!!! #Cody got about 5 seconds of screen time which fit his character perfectly!!! #BUT WHERE WAS REX AND HIS BLUE JAIG EYES!!! #and I gotta say the red commander who earned his red jaig eyes was pretty entertaining and dramatic #but ITS NOT THE SAME!!! #where was my hero #the clone wars #clone wars #and all the precursor stuff!!! #Techo Union experimenting on sentient beings without their consent #the bad batch #Ventress! #ilum #bariss and luminara #the mon calamari arc! #shakti #Kenobi determination to stick his face out the door and see everything directly #the way Kenobi practically volunteered Anakin to retrieve the warriors the second he realized his hand was the key #everyone being so suspicious of Palpatine but no one doing anything but protecting him the whole damn time #Anakin shedding his cape in the most dramatic way possible #and diving headlong into danger no second thought at all
