Yesterday at the Hasbro panel at SWC, they announced a few pipeline figures for The Vintage Collection. All three were solid reveals that we’ve been waiting for a while to have in the line. Hunter from the Bad Batch has already been made in The Black Series, and while most fans were excited for the figure, it’s eventual repaint into Delta Squad was not well received due to the stylized sculpt. We need to make sure that the upcoming TVC version doesn’t make this same mistake…
I finally catch up with season 7 of The Clone Wars. Today I talk about the latest episode from Friday. And it turns out it’s somewhat controversial. Not because of what happens in the episode, but because of what was cut from the episode. It turns out the episode has an extremely short runtime of just 18 minutes. An entire scene, running for almost 3 minutes, was removed from the old animatic, in it Wat Tambor tests a new kind of droid on a native and has him killed. What makes matters even more odd is that Lucasfilm has now begun to either delete or copyright claim the old animatics. Most copies of the videos on YouTube are gone, they were also removed (the Utapau arc and the Bad Batch arc) from Starwars.com. Why? No one really knows. They had been online for years, without any issues. Some believe Lucasfilm wants to prevent fans from comparing the old animatics to the finalized versions. But is that really so? All of that somewhat overshadows episode 3, which is unfortunate. Read my review to learn more about episode 3 and the discussion surrounding it!
