You're reckless, little one. You never would have made it as Obi-Wan’s Padawan. But you might make it as mine.

Fashion Meets Fandom: Ahsoka Tano Dress

I love a t-shirt dress especially if it's bright and colorful. This beautiful Ahsoka Tano artwork adds a playful twist to a classic fashion staple which keeps the dress from looking boring. To make this dress work for the chilly Fall weather, you could wear it with a jacket, hoodie or a long cardigan paired with either tights, leggings or skinny jeans.

I think the art really makes this feel like a statement piece and will standout no matter how you wear it.

The final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars premieres today

Okay Star Wars fans, who's excited for the return of The Clone Wars? I never understood why Disney cancelled it in the first place. I guess they wanted to make their own animated series, Star Wars Rebels which was a good series, perhaps not as amazing as TCW but still good nonetheless.

Anyway, the seventh and final season of The Clone Wars begins today. The first episode, The Bad Batch is already available to watch on Disney+ and new episodes are released every Friday.

Teaser Trailer for the Return of "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" Animated Series

The return of Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series is some of the best news I've heard so far announced from the San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC). I can't wait for this new season to start and this teaser trailer looks good. Like so many other fans, I had been disappointed when the show was cancelled so it's great to see that it will be returning.

So far the only information which has been officially released from StarWars.com is that 12 new episodes will air on Disney's upcoming streaming service. I do hope at some point all the new episodes will be released on DVD/Bluray for anyone who doesn't want to subscribe to Disney's streaming service.

Ahsoka: So what's the plan?

Anakin: I thought you were the one with the plan.

Ahsoka: Nope. I'm the one with enthusiasm.


Quote from Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated movie.

TV Round Up: Star Wars: The Clone Wars season 6 episode 1

Episode #1: "The Unknown"

Can we talk about Star Wars: The Clones Wars sixth season? Ooh, I absolutely love the first episode. If you haven't seen it yet, please watch it. 

The first episode is full of action but focused on the mystery surrounding clone Tup's "breakdown" which had the separatists abducting him to find out what is the cause of it. But with an amazing rescue by Anakin, Rex and Fives on a separatist ship they were able to get Tup back.

This is why this show is one of my favorites.

Now I have 12 episodes left to watch. It's sad that we only having 13 episodes of this series to watch but I'm definitely thankful we can at least see them.

Anyone else watched the first episode? I would love to know what you like/didn't like about it.

Star Wars The Clone Wars Season 6 Trailer

Good news for us fans of Star Wars the Clone Wars animated series, the sixth and unaired season is now airing on Netflix. You can watch the last 13 episodes.

I still can't believe Disney would cancel this amazing show. This was one of my favorite series. I'm still not sure what to think of Disney's new Star Wars: Rebels animated series. So far, I've seen a few teaser trailers but they haven't really sparked any interests in it for me, as yet.

Book Review: Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Book: Star Wars: The Clone Wars (The Clone Wars #1) by Karen Traviss

Rating: 2 stars

Review:

You know the old saying "the book is better than the movie", that's usually true. However, in this case, the movie is much better than the book. I was disappointed with this book, the story felt a little dull and it didn't feel that exciting especially with the battle scenes. I was expecting more depth but instead all I read was a rather drawn out boring book.

Another thing I was disappointed with was that so many good parts of the movie were left out of the book, such as the scene in which Senator Amidala went to speak with Ziro the Hutt then stumbled upon Ziro's involvement with the abduction of his nephew. Another amazing scene that was removed was Ahsoka's intense fight against Dooku's MagnaGuards on her way to return Jabba's son to him. Both of those scenes added to the ending and without them it felt rather disjointed.

I felt like the author didn't really understand the characters she was writing about. Most of them felt out of character. The author's voice and characterizations for these characters didn't match up to what we were shown. I find it unbelievable that Asajj Ventress would care that a spy droid she was using had been destroyed. Even R2-D2 was out of character and I find that hard to believe that anyone could mess up R2. I also didn't find Anakin and Ahsoka's characterizations that interesting either. I will admit I did find some of Anakin's internal monologue interesting you got to see some of his turmoil about the war, his feeling about his wife and his slaughter of the Tusken Raiders.

The characterizations that I did like were Chancellor Palpatine and Captain Rex and the soldiers. With the Chancellor you got to read his internal monologue as he gloated over his superiority towards the Jedi. Now with the Captain and the soldiers we got to see how the soldiers were dealing with the war and how they felt in general. It was nice reading more about them.

Something else I found really annoying throughout this book was the constant anti-Jedi/anti-republic sentiment. There was just too much of it. She has written this story as if all the Jedi were evil and corrupt without showing otherwise. She doesn't do a good job of showing a balance between the Republic/Separatist views.

Reading this made me want to rewatch the animated movie again just to wipe this horrible version from my brain. I'm really glad I checked this out from the library instead of buying it, because I would have wanted my money back.

Currently Reading for the Book Girl read-a-thon: Star Wars: The Clone Wars

This is the second book for my read-a-thon. I have the animated movie, bu I had no idea there was a book. This is one of the books I checked out from the library last weekend. As soon as I saw it, I quickly grabbed it off the shelf. I just had to read it. 

Book: Star Wars: The Clone Wars (The Clone Wars #1) by Karen Traviss

Description:

Across the galaxy, the Clone Wars are raging. The Separatists, led by Count Dooku, the onetime Jedi and now secret Sith Lord, continue to press forward, and more and more worlds are either falling, or seceding and joining the cause. Under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, the Republic heroically battles on, championed by its huge army of cloned soldiers and their Jedi generals.

Anakin Skywalker, believed by some to be the prophesied “Chosen One” destined to bring balance to the Force, is now a Jedi Knight under the tutelage of his Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Death is a constant possibility–and his chances of survival aren’t improved by the unexpected arrival of an apprentice: Ahsoka, a brash, inexperienced fourteen-year-old Padawan apprenticed to Anakin. But there’s no time for Anakin to question his latest orders: He and Obi-Wan have been assigned a new mission, and failure is not an option.

Jabba the Hutt’s precious infant son has been kidnapped, and when the frantic parent applies to the Jedi for help, it falls to Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, and their clone troops to track down the evidence and retrieve the missing Huttlet. And more is at stake: For a grateful Jabba just might allow the Republic access to the Hutt-controlled space lanes that the Grand Army desperately needs in order to beat the Separatists into submission.

But the Republic is not the only power that craves access to those space lanes. Count Dooku, determined to win the prize for the Separatists, has set a trap for the Jedi. When they find the Huttlet, they will also find Dooku’s master assassin, Asajj Ventress, and countless legions of battle droids waiting to spring a trap.

The blazing new animated feature film Star Wars: The Clone Wars takes place in the years preceding Star Wars: Episode III: Revenge of the Sith and sets the stage for the groundbreaking TV series. Both contain all original material–direct from the brilliant imagination of legendary Star Wars creator George Lucas. And these exciting new adventures and characters are being brought to life in book form by none other than #1 New York Times bestselling Star Wars author Karen Traviss.

It's still pretty sad what happened to Ahsoka Tano in the 4 part season (series) finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Barriss had no problem what so ever framing Ahsoka for the bombing and the murders, just to further her cause (I was a little surprised they turned Barriss into a traitor). But what I think was even worse was that almost all the Jedi (except Anakin and few others) turned their backs on Ahsoka including Yoda. I would have thought he most of all would have believed in her innocence.

Well, now that the show has been canceled, (yeah hard to believe this amazing show won't be returning) we will not get a real series finale. I guess one good thing out the canceling is Disney will not be able to ruin it. I really couldn't see them doing a good job with this show. It doesn't exactly fit with their line of shows.

Now I will definitely have to make sure I get the last three seasons on DVD since there will be no more new episodes.

I love when artists draw funny pictures. Who says that artwork has to be serious?

 This is just really funny because, if Star Wars characters were to be admitted into Hogwarts, most definitely Anakin would end up in Slytherine. Just look at the expressions on both Obi-Wan and Ashoka's faces, they're hilarious. They just knew Anakin should end up there.
