Re: The Clone Wars Season 3 discussion thread.
To be honest, I wouldn't care so much about the minimalism if the show would at least be interesting.

Then, it seems that the only way to survive is to use the means of the enemy, to rest survival upon what is expedient, to look the other way. Well, the answer to that is 'survival as what'?

Why mention numbers at all? They've could have just said "This deployment will raise costs to a level the republic cannot sustain, people are already straining from the burden this war is causing."
The number of troopers would really be relevant only if it was family members coming home in body bags. But these are clones, so the number deployed is an economical matter purely. So a politician would be really worried about how he's going to explain another raise in taxes back home.

Re: The Clone Wars Season 3 discussion thread.
Well, I doubt the writer put as much thought into that as we nerds would, and the intended viewership isn't likely to care either, so I guess they just thought 'MILLIONZ' would be dramatic enough.

Re: The Clone Wars Season 3 discussion thread.
You misunderstand me, I really don't care about minimalism or that crap. I just think from a political point of view the number of people (clones) involved are an economical concern and I see no reason it shouldn't be treated as such. They're just as much war material to be expended as ships or blaster packs, so I find it odd anyone would bring up the number to be sent. More so considering the scale of the economy, people who decide would just see military asking another 5% of the budget when they're already spending 15% of the total pie.
It does sound the writer's put there for the "ZOMG 5 million clones!! Lots!!!"

Re: The Clone Wars Season 3 discussion thread.
My first thought when I heard the millions bit is "In light of this attack ... buy five million new clones" she was proposing the Homeworld Security troops, who're supposed to stop such attacks happening again.
Of course, the battle-droids is harder to rationalise, unless when he says 'new battle droids' he means 'yet another new design' which is obviously clunky but seems the best way to rationalise how this would be worrying news.

One other element that seems difficult to understand is the use of police droids at a time when the Republic is under attack by droid armies, especially since in earlier sources we saw organic police forces. It is also irritating how incompetent those droids are.

In fairness, there was similar stuff in Legacy, so I guess that's where they got it from.

Yeah, but either way this comes way out of left field. Ahsoka never even appeared as a likely candidate for the dark side. This makes no sense.

I'm kind of curious about the guy who turns into a giant bat-demon thing. It brings up bad memories of the made-for-TV Ewok movies (seriously, as a young child I was terrified watching them).

Re: The Clone Wars Season 3 discussion thread.
If you remember in one of the earlier seasons (I forget which one) she had shown tendencies towards being violent when interrogating Nute Gunray (I think it was) when he got captured by the NR. Also, it seems that Anakin gets captured at some point, perhaps Ahsoka gets captured with him and is tortured into turning?
Re: The Clone Wars Season 3 discussion thread.
Yeah, but one time, and it certainly did not go any further than intimidation. And later on she clearly is not giving into anger in other situations.Grouchy224 wrote:If you remember in one of the earlier seasons (I forget which one) she had shown tendencies towards being violent when interrogating Nute Gunray (I think it was) when he got captured by the NR.
