I feel like they are slowly staggering in the right direction but more weighty plotlines would be great, genuine drama even.

Characters like Dooku / ventress / GG seem to do things for absolutely no reason*, I'd love to see Ventress motivations, we did get a slight hint of this in the 2d series but they've pretty much wiped the slate clean and started over with this show. with circa 22 eps per season they've certainly got room for some long story arcs.

* This is a problem with the PT in general.

It WILL feel like a total cop out if they phone in Ahsokas absence from ROTS era at the last moment. I don't expect a masterpeice from a show like this but I would like them [the writing staff] to try a little harder.

I'll put on my 'skyjedi2005' hat for a moment and say The Clone Wars movie is a prime example of too much style and not enough substance - they should till be stinging from the reception that recieved.

At this point i'd like to see less of GG and more of Obiwan and Padme - who are the main characters of the films that bookend this series. - I recall seeing some GG footage in a clone wars promo that looked quite interesting - having his damaged faceplate removed - moving about with no legs, instead all we've really got thus far is him fleeing from battles.
