What you fail to realize is that in 1975-1982 there was no way to portray Force powers with as much dramatic effect as you can in the modern film and animation era. He didn't make a fatal mistake, doofus, he was limited by the technology of the time he made the films.

I'm rather aware of that, but that still doesn't cover the fact that they never mention why the Jedi don't just go in force powers a-blazing. 

Because it's completely inconsequential to the larger story. if it bothers you so much, buh-bye and stop watching the show. I weep for the youth of our country.., ;)

Wow.. missed some good conversations here. Loved the Ahsoka episode. When she took the heads off of the four Mandalorian.. I was like OMG!!! it was pretty epic. I don't think Season 4 has had any "Mind blowing" episodes so far but we're only halfway through it and they tend to have the best episodes in the second half of the season. Regardless I think Clone Wars is some of the best TV on right now.. and it's weekly Star Wars.. I mean come on.. you can't go wrong with that.

I like this season and just love when Ahsoka kicks some butt!  Hope to see like lots of more of that!!

I'm still enjoying the season quite a bit.  Lots of cool things happening and I like the current story with Obi-Wan undercover.  Cad Bane is a fun character too.

I'm surprised there's not more excited chat in here. We're getting to see some of the galaxies finest bounty hunters along with an awesome storyline....and what appears to be Anakin struggling to contain his darker self. For me, it is ramping it all right up again for the second half of the season.

Can't wait for next week!!

Oh, I am loving this season and have been mostly over on the ForceCast forums following those discussions. This latest arc has been great, A few little quibbles as to how Anakin doesn't sense that it's actually Obi wan but I think there are some valid arguments why he may be blinded to that due to anger. The injection they used to alter his face didn't feel try STAR WARS to me but it's as good a contrivance as any to get Obi wan undercover convincingly. Love have Cad bane back in action, he's one of the best new characters to come out of the series.

I liked the idea from the Forcecast that Asokha knew and was there to control Anakin. Pity that wasn't the case. Nice idea that one.

Also, did everyone pick up on the Indy hat Cad Bain picked up. Nice moment...

Yeah, but sometimes to many ingredients ruin the meal, so to speak.

Cool side things in this episode...the helmet Obi-Wan wears is an early McQuarrie concept for Boba Fett, and the ship that the bounty hunters are using is the same design as the Lady Luck, Lando's ship in the post ROTJ EU.

Thinking about watching this show finally...never really been into EU Star Wars but going to give it a shot.  Where does the Clone Wars animated movie fit in, do I watch that first?

edit to add:  what about the shorts, where do they fit in and should I watch those first?

Clone Wars isn't part of the EU.. it's actually from George and is cannon to the Star Wars movies.

This series takes place between episode 2 and 3.

Now sure what shorts your talking about... unless you mean the other clone wars mini episodes.. those have nothing to do with this Clone Wars.

I'd start with the Clone Wars movies and then jump into Season 1

Thanks Kenny.  There were animated Clone Wars short movies, like two or three minutes long eventually collected and released on DVD.  I think they originally aired online or something.  Is there more than one feature length movie?

No I think you're talking about the other Clone Wars.. they were short 3 minute episodes.. you can watch those.. but they aren't aren't part of this new series... just get the Clone Wars movies and then start with S1

Sorry for being dense, but how many Clone Wars movies are there, I thought just one (not including episode 2 of course)
