#o then again are those the eps with wolffe bc like..seeing him have to interact with those lil alines is p funny

[captainshyguy]

god i love tcw, genuinely, but they really have those eps sometimes where its like ‘why the fuck should i care abt anything that’s happening here’ 

like...okay genuinely i love the show but there’s rly some stinker eps and i think a lot of the time its bc its a plot that has no relevance, and is focusing on characters that we dont give a shit about, like the droid arc??? no offense but who cares lmao, like r2 is great but like....in small doses, or WITH humans, not other droids we've just met??? like if we got that arc filoni had intended at some point, the one with rex and r2, like?? that’d probably WORK bc rex is one of the literal main characters, and seeing him interact with a side character we dont usually see him interact with is INTERESTING (esp since like...lbr whilst rex is in a lotta eps he doesnt get the same amount of focus that the jedi mc do lmao)

its like the ep where they get the replacement for r2 is fun, bc its shenanigans with ahsoka, anakin and rex, and its fun!! 

its just.... i think as well a lot of those stinker eps could be solved with just..a little more genuine character interaction....like characters actually TALKING abt stuff othe rthan the mission, like i GET its a war i get its literally the clone WARS i get it, but like...for example. besides having kit fisto swimming around half naked for 3 eps, the mon cala arc adds nothing substantial to the show at all (even though i think the prince is sweet)

like god okay anakin and ahsoka are both in that arc, why dont they talk more??? their lil padawan/master bickering would have given the arc a bit more gotdamn life, or idk, have padme and ahsoka having a convo!! 

nd i think like....okay they have goofy eps every now and again to offset the violence (tho still present in said eps) but i dont...enjoy most of them, bc they focus them on characters we dont rly...care about, like jar jar lmao and uhhh...again, r2 and c3p0 like i get it, they’re iconic characters, but they’re also not rly that engaging to follow around for like an entire 45 mins of screentime lmao

just....all they need is small bits here and there (i can deal with “landing at point rain” bc of the competitiveness between ahsoka and anakin when it comes to their droids killed count, throwing rex off the wall, all that!) just small bits to SHOW the idk...MAIN CHARACTERS interacting, and BLEASE figure out which characters of urs people actually like in tcw, like its not some random 4 droids and some annoying tiny frog man, its anakin, obi wan ahsoka, rex, a LOT of the clones we’ve seen (waxer fives echo, hardcase, hevy, 99, etc) maul, savage, hondo, satine, padme, ventress!

nd like...thats not even me being biased, clone centered eps/arcs are some of the most popular ones!!!! they’re fan favourites for a reason, bc clones are sympathetic and interesting characters, because of how different each one is!! bc their eps tend to be more character centric!!

like just!!! we need eps with characters we care about interacting with characters we care about more,  more of anakin and obi wan sassing each othe,r bc thats something that does get lost, (spekaing of characters we like interacting with others we like, its at least part of the reason why i actually like the zyggerian arc like...it LITERALLY has all 4 of the main characters in the arc together we needed so much MORE of stuff like that!) we need to see these characters being goofs together, or even somber moments, just!!! aaaaaa i just.....sometimes....i do think tcw’s huge cast of characters is a bad thing, it leaves characters stretched thin, like stop focusing on/introducing tons of new characters, instead, see which characters people like and WORK with that, FOCUS on the ones people love, make THEM interact, i get they couldnt have known which characters would actually become well loved but they also had 5 years to adjust accordling lmao, like!!

there’s some interesting pairs we could have seen interact but never do!!! we dont see anakin or ahsoka like...interact with most of torrent company, despite the fact that as the LEADERS of said company, they would have worked with them like through MOST of the battles during the war??? you’re telling me empathetic ‘clones are people too’ padme amidala wouldnt have got along EXCELLENTLY with fives, the clone with the strongest sense of self and individualism??? (i can see them talking passionately about clone rights in my head as we SPEAK)  you telling me padme never interacted with any of the people under her HUSBANDS command?? bullshit

like...it doesnt evne have to include clones, i actually really enjoyed that ep where padme and satine uncover corruption (i know fans arent a huge fan of that one), and ones with barriss and ahsoka because like!! these are characters we care about, ones we dont see interact all that often, and its fun! 

like. again, i’ll stress i do love this show, there’s a lotta genuinely good eps, INCREDIBLE EPS eps that are nice and fun or heartbreakingly dark and sad, very interesting, either way the’re all engaging and make me feel!!! (anything with domino squad members, innocents of ryloth, mortis arc, umbara arc, anything with hondo anything with maul and savage, mandolre stuff) but its not perfect by any means and i wish they changed those gotdamn unnecessary eps like the droid arc, anything with jar jar, uhh,,,the onderan arc honestly (first ep was good), the mon cala one nd just....put in more characters we cared abt at leas,t or made them interact or just!! something!!!!

just....i think tcw would have been perfect if they tightened the cast a bit, and added just a lil more interaction between the main characters just..sacrifice a little plot driven strytellnig for character driven storytelling, just a LITTLE
