Saw most of the two eps on youtube. Not bad for a light cartoon series, but it's still not Star Wars, nor will ever be. This stuff is very much founded on the pseudo-Star-Wars the prequels gave us. And even if the show's Anakin is a bit more masculine and less whiny, he's still a distinctly limited sort of guy, in a way the OT's Luke wasn't, nor ROTJ's Anakin. In other words, he still doesn't fit as Anakin and, like the PT Anakins, probably does not match Lucas's making-of-OOT era envisioning of the character. Ashoka remains the best thing on the show. Why the fuck is this guy called CAD Bane? If they were looking for British derogatory slang like "cad", why didn't they just call him Bounder Bane and be done with it? Then they'd have alliteration and all. Or if they wanted a bit ruder they could call him Tosser Bane. Cad Bane? Sounds pretty funny. But then Han Solo went around space with a robot called bollocks.
