It does make me laugh me how people can say something is shit before they have even seen it

 

 

When everything from a particular source in a particular time period is shit, then yeah you can make a pretty good bet that anything new coming from the same source in the same general period is going to be shit. Every official Star Wars screen fiction since TPM has been shit and TPM wasn't impressive either. There hasn't been decent Star Wars screen fiction put out since 1983. So it's a pretty far reach to say they're going to start with the quality now, in a kid-aimed animated show based on the awful prequels universe. That'd be like hoping a pig would shit out gold. Not going to happen.

I never usually judge a TV series on its pilot but this time i did and i admit i was wrong to do so. Hell just look at the original pilot for Star Trek, "the cage". that was a total piece of shit and a completely different tone than the series would become. And now that Tv series is considered a classic.

 

 

The Cage was certainly in the same general ballpark range of quality as the series. Pilots may be different from their show and different in general quality, but they're usually in the same general ballpark range of quality. Maybe you won't get a precise idea of what the show's like from them but you will get some idea.

Just a heads up, if I ever do see the Clone Wars show and it turns out to be total crap like I expect it to be, then I'm going to come here and do a lot of saying I told you so.
