CGI Star Wars - The Clone Wars

Sam Jackson's character (Mace Windu) died in 'Sith, fan boys can speculate all they want about him surviving that fall but to me he's deaded.
 
Yeah. The traders (Hasbro and Lego) at the Toyfair blabbed about this before the official press release on starwars.com, and were bang on. I've no reason to think they would be inaccurate with this aspect.
 
The clone wars shorts are good, but they are not accurate in the events they portray as they are supposed to be an in-universe production made by that kid on Dantooine who gives Mace Windu the water bottle hence the over the top force action etc. Grievous did get his wheeze after Windu got him, but it was months earlier, its a similar issue with Anakin and his scar and it shows K'kruhk as being dead when he survived and is still alive 100 years later.
 
I didn't know McGregor had openly turned on those prequels.

Good for him. He might be able to bring himself back from the Dark Side now. :)
 
That's just a fan theory. As Clone Wars isn't G-canon, people like to try and crowbar the exaggerated feel of the cartoon series into established movie and EU continuity. The final series of Clone Wars was supposed to lead directly into the moments before RoTS. Tartakovsky mentions it in the DVD commentary. Whilst other EU stuff (Labyrinth of Evil?) probably contradicts this, the continuity of final CW cartoon series was supposed to show the events in the RoTS crawl - it was the task Lucasfilm gave them. The chest crush was a last minute addition at the end of production of the cartoon because GG's cough was a late addition to the RoTS film.
 
He hasn't. He has openly said that he disliked the process in making them, and (understandably) laughed at the title of Attack of the Clones - and some parts of (mostly the UK) meedja turned that into him slagging them off. Which he didn't - as he is smart and industry savvy enough to know that would be bad business in the long run no matter how bad (or otherwise) he actually thinks they are.
 
Oh, he has, he just doesn't say it publicly. He rates the prequels as the worst films he's done. He's talked about them a few times on personal appearances and is not complimentary.

It's a shame because he's the best thing about the films and I'd love it if he were to appear in the series, I just can't see it. Unless the pay cheque is big and the green screen is packed away...

As for Sam Jackson...D'oh!
 
Saw it today
I must be getting old but I was bored by it
It didnt have half the punch of a cgi episode of Starship Troopers
Seeing as we know exactly what happens to Dooku ,how is he possibly a viable villain ?
nice to see some old faces in the background like greedo etc
 
I can't understand the argument that you know what will happen to the characters. Is Batman in any danger in a Batman film? No. Spidey or Superman? Are they gonna kill The Joker, Doc Oc or Lex Luthor off? No. Will Garrison prove a conspiracy to kill JFK? No. Will the Titanic sink? Yes. Will the Apollo 13 astronauts survive? Yes. Almost every film we see will have constants and ones that we know before we even pay for the ticket.

Just enjoy the film and the series for what it will be - an extension of Star Wars. Dooku is a Dark Lord of the Sith so is there to put pain and suffering on the shoulders of innocents. It matters not that we know he'll survive until Anakin chops his head off three years later.
