Welcome to the 30 day challenge of May, which sees a return to two of the most iconic things in pop culture, to say nothing of Science Fiction, namely Star Trek and Star Wars. Throughout this month some prompts will be general and apply to both franchises, while others will be Trek/Wars specific, as indicated.
Starting with an offhand mention in the original trilogy before becoming a pivotal plot point in the prequels, the conflict known as “The Clone Wars” ultimately settled as a long, long, cancellation/revival spanning beloved TV series, which would introduce many characters that continue to shape the franchise to this day.
So, what are your feelings on the Clone Wars? The CG series, the Tartakovsky series, the much maligned tie in movie, all of it? Favorite/worst characters or episodes?
Bonus prompt: What characters/plot points benefitted the most from being expanded in the series?
Extra Bonus prompt: Any other time periods in the Star Wars canon that could benefit from the Clone Wars treatment?
Legends bonus prompt: Are you fine with the various follow-ups characters have gotten in later, separate series, or should they have been contained to just the Clone Wars proper?
