Oh the Clone Wars series was great, it set up Anakin as a charismatic character with depth and complexities and was awesome... it's still the notion that this was the same character who explained to his girlfriend about murdering a tribe of Sandpeople with all the passion and emotion of reading the 432rd straight page of the phone book that took some doing.
Or that the passionate, fiery young man, with a sense of humour was the same one who turned to the Dark Side with a emotional equivalent of a dull thud.
If we didn't have the movies and just had the series, I think we might have had a much more interesting story, with much more dynamic leads.
I also tend to link to this in such discussions, which is a hiding to nothing, but is well worth a look:
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
