Some people here aren't big fans of the battle droids so if there was an arc focusing entirely on them where the only enemy was some under developed republic race I'm sure there would be some complaints.

I am always going to be unhappy about all of the clone episodes unless they start doing the same with the CIS and when I say I want to see CIS centric arcs it would not have to be battle droids, what about separatist leaders, separatist commanders, mercenaries working for the CIS or even Dooku's dark acolytes like Sora Bulq?

Well, let's be fair, they have given us a couple of said episodes. The Nightsisters trilogy for example. That was almost entirely villain based, and I'll be the first to admit it was the highlight of S3. What about Death Trap? That one was primarily Boba's POV, with only a few scenes showing Mace, Anakin, and Admiral Killian or whatever his name was. So yes, we could possibly use some more villain centered episodes, but the team has given us a few.

Yes, I know there was Rookiees and ARC Troopers, but that still involved the Jedi and the villains' POV, not solely the clones.

I think that showing things from the clones point of view and ONLY the clones point of view was interesting, the only other episode that's ever done that was Clone Cadets, and that was during the clone's training excercises, not during real combat. Yes, I know there was Rookiees and ARC Troopers, but that still involved the Jedi and the villains' POV, not solely the clones.

The only episode in Umbara that was slowed down by this POV was Plan of Dissent.If they had cut out some of the fisrt ten minutes and combined the episode with Carnage of Krell, perhaps somewhere after all the clones killed each other and Krell is suspected to be a traitor, it would have been alright.

Not to mention, for those of you complaining about a lack of villain, Krell WAS that villain. The whole point of it was that we didn't know entirely who the enemy was until it was nearly too late. It was supposed to be a surprise! If they had shown some CIS scenes involving Krell, then Carnage of Krell would have no major twist because we would have already known that Krell was a traitor!

CISFANBOY wrote:One thing that annoyed me about the Umbara arc was that they never really explained why the Umbarans had joined the separatists, it would have been nice to have seen a little bit of the senate in that arc and Sly Moore should have finally made an appearance.

However, in Slaves of the Republic, Anakin starts talking to Ahsoka about his past as if she already knew. But if he wasn't there for that conversation, how would he have known that Ahsoka knew about his past? Confusing, right?

The problem with the arc is exactly in two things:

1. IT IS A LATE ARC

2. IT IS A SHORTER ARC IN THE SHOW THAN IT WAS IN THE FORM OF COMIC

The converstations or Ahsoka being surprised about Anakin being a slave right after the movie where he did not want to talk about it. Now MONTHS have passed and it is weird that these two bland characters have not even shared a word about each other. How can I be invested in such characters that do not communicate or have some emotions, real emotions and not just barbie doll emotions!

And now follows the second part of the problem...
THe arc about the Zygerrians was spread in 6 issues and that is like 6 episodes! And in the show it is 3 episodes! I still think a lot of stuff was thrown out in the garbage. OR THERE IS A DELETED SCENE with the talk that is set between the rescue party comes on Zygerria!

That is the reason why we jump from "Ahsoka: ANI is a slave?!" to "Ani: MY mother was sold in such a store!"... It is not a big deal in the end as the scenes with Ani&Ahsoka are painful and boring!
