That's the hybrid armor he mentioned. It's not phase II armor yet.

I know, I was referring to the transition Eggman was referring to.

Anyone watch 'Pursuit of Peace'?

Hidden/Spoiler:

It was another political episode. But it was a pretty good one I think.
It gives some insights into how the war affects the citizens of the Republic.
And a little bit of Palpatine at the end.
And it has some action sequences.
And a Selkath.

I did.
It was quite okay, since at least a few shots fell.

I love te end with Palpatine needs to adjust a few parts of his plan, standing in his office and looks out to sinister-looking Coruscant.

And the Selkath was a cool character i think.

Me and my dad watched it of course, and we loved it of course.

Just saw the latest episode: it was quite interesting. I noticed a lot of parallels to the real world.

So were these last two episodes prequels to an episode (forgot which one) from Season 2? I'm pretty sure Senator Dracula (gray-haired one) was already stabbed to death, and the female Rodian in the same pod as Uncle Ano was arrested. But then Ahsoka had the new outfit change and all, or does that even matter? I don't recall her showing up in that one Season 2 episode, so I guess not. Nonetheless, I enjoyed this episode.

It was decent as far as political episodes go, but they really need to move on to the action. I'm absolutely dumbfounded by the production team's decision to make the first half of this season so politically heavy.

The biggest problem is that the politics almost never work. It's watered down to accommodate the younger viewers and half hour time slot, yet it's too grown up for most kids to understand. What demographic are they aiming for? I can't imagine any kids finding this entertaining and most older viewers can get their political thriller kicks out of dozens of other television shows and movies.

Sorry for the rant, but I can only take such hot bank deregulation action for so long...

While my dad and I love the political episodes, we agree. I mean, im 17 and my dads 48 so we can understand, but most of the acumulated fans are 11-15 years old. We have no idea what lucasfilm is doing, yet again. We love them all, buyt WHERE ARE THE CLONES?

Everything I read on here is making me lean towards purchasing the TV series, even after the dismal performance of the movie

That episode from season 2, "Senate Murders", is the latest so far in the timeline. Every episode seen until now are prequels to that one. The next arc with Savage Opress and all (which some people may have already seen in theaters) is after "Senate Murders".

Anyway, Dave Filoni was interviewed by IGN, and they said that:

IGN wrote:Filoni promised that there were some payoffs coming to the political storylines down the line that would explain why so much time was spent on them – but also vowed that the second half of Season 3 is much more action-heavy, and indeed doesn't have a single scene set in the Republic Senate.

The series is 100 times better than the movie. It's not even comparable. Give it a try and buy both seasons on DVD or Blu-Ray.

I saw the episode last week, too. I must admit, it was a lot better than previous episodes so far. I liked the whole scene where Bail got knocked out. Overall, a great episode indeed.

I might do just that I'll have to wait till after Christmas though as I currently have very little money, I get paid just before Christmas but I promised myself I would not go out of town until after Christmas was over (We don't have HMV in Farnborough)

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this trailer:

Looks like
I really wish the trailer's music was in stereo. It's rare that you would be able to hear the new recorded choral for Duel of the Fates that was used in Episode III. Perhaps another hint that complete scores are forthcoming, with luck

Was that Anakin or Obi-Wan frozen in carbonite? Looked like Obi.

Looks like a fairly decent trailer. Looks like we'll finally get some clone phase II action.

And yes, Ashoka finally turns to dark side and Anakin gets to kill her!

ehhh.... much as I hope it does, I highly doubt that happens. They wouldn't kill Asohka... yet anyway.

WOW, That trailer fills me with...
Confusion...
Anger...
Hope...
Sense off ripp off-ness with the trailer title...
Overall
