I used to be very active on this forum. I’m not really anymore. Sometimes, people still want to get in touch with me about something, and that is great! If that describes you, please email me at [my username]ATgmailDOTcom.
Hi everybody. You’re all awesome. Keep up the good work.

:::::::::::WARNING!!! SPOILERS AHEAD!!!::::::::::::::::
First, I would like to know what that bit was about between young Anakin and Qui-Gon Jinn? I mean, Qui-Gonn died before he and Anakin ever had a chance to talk about much of anything, let alone bonding in front of a tree on Dagobah. Is that some sort weird vision that Yoda is having? I would like that explained.
The other thing is about C-3P0. When he opened his robe like that to show Anakin his new golden plating it had to be one of the gayest moments on a cartoon. That funky music coupled with the way that C-3P0 stood like he didn't want anyone to see what was underneath his robe...oh my. I could have done without that particular piece of humor.
Otherwise it was great. Can't wait to see the next episode tomorrow.

Anyway, the designs of the characters, like QuiGon and Yoda, I thought sucked. Other than that, I liked it, especially explaining how Aayla and the others escaped from Grevious, which was a pretty big plot-hole left from season one.
The C-3PO gold plating scene was just embarrasing. Gimme Jar Jar over that any day.*cringes* But I thought the Knighting Ceremony of Anakin was really cool, especially when Yoda cut off his acursed Padawan brade.

You can definatley tell that this will tie in with Episode III. In my book, that makes it 'worth it' to watch.
The first seasons wasn't very good since they were just stand-alone adventures. I think these will be a lot better.
I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently.

That's a bad thing? I would hate for him to have to explain everything in the movie or it would be over crouded.

Does that mean I've got to go out and buy or rent the clone wars cartoons to understand what's happening in the movies?
If that's the case then BOLLOCKS to lucas he's an even bigger asshole than I gave him credit for.

*cough*Bullsh!t*cough*
More realistically drawn maybe, but the animation on most of the shows you mention repeated footage, dropped certain scenes to 10 frames per second (and sometimes even less), and weren't very dynamic at all, graphically or dramatically. (Skeletor is angry! Ummm... he always looks angry. He's going to cast a spell. *Skeletor raises scepter the same way he does in every episode.* etc.) I can remember episodes of G.I. Joe using two frame animation cycles for literally 5 seconds of the show (i.e. red laser bolts shooting at blue laser bolts). Technically speaking, the 70's and 80's were the "dark ages" of animation. All cartoons were used for was selling toys, so no one cared if the show was *good.* (As proven by your list of cartoons you cite as examples.)
If you look at Clone Wars, you can tell that there is a very concerted effort to make the characters have more depth. The lines are made to have a feeling of depth. Look at Dexter's Lab. Everything there is made to look graphic and flat. You can't tell me that the Clone Troopers look the same as that. Sure, the line weight (thicknesses) might be similar, but the characters are drawn completely differently. The animation on Clone Wars also doesn't repeat ad nauseum (if ever), is fluid, and care is taken in every frame.
This argument spills over to fine art. Would you rather own a realistically painted landscape done in black and white where you get everything in single glance, or would you rather have a impressionistic painting where you see something different, and feels different, each time you see it? (The "I'd rather have a velvet painting of Elvis, than owning anything painted by Monet" mentality.)

I can't say I like the facial styles that Tartakovsky uses for the clone wars, but the Animation is so fluid it doesn't really bother me all that much.
