SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Will Anyone Think of the Clones?

I saw Clone Wars on Cartoon Network for the first time. If you see a clonetrooper in the episode, you know it will get killed off before the end - they are like Red Shirts, only there to show the audience how deadly the situation is. After sitting through three episodes of watching clonetroopers get killed off and the Jedi not reacting (Go ahead and kill them! We'll make more! - Wait, aren't those guys living and their deaths diminishing the Force in some small way?), I can understand why the clonetroopers support Palpetine and the killing of all the Jedi with Order 66. I mean by the standards of the Clone Wars cartoon, the Jedi never gave a fuck about them anyways.

Don't know why that bugs me, but it just does.

Its actually kind of cool that it bothers you.

If cloning became practical in our lifetimes - thats the sort of thing that good people should be bothered by.

I seldom say this sort of thing but:

You are ridiculous.

According to Harry Potter, the verbal component is simply the one word "riddikulus", with a material component of a wand, and a flourish from the wrist for the somatic component.

People watch Clone Wars that aren't 12? I thought my nephews were the target audience? ;)

Genndy Tartakovsky is a damn fine animator and director, and while the scripts aren't Chekhov, they are sophisticated in comparison to most of the stuff kids watch.  Hell, they are pretty sophisticated in comparison to what most adults watch.  Two and a Half Men, anyone?  ;)

Makes me glad I don't own a television. But yeah, you're right.

I guarantee, I won't watch it again. The show made me want to not play Star Wars.
