Clone Wars and Prometheus review


Hey gang!  Back in town to give you my latest review on the newest episode of Clone Wars (well, in this case two episodes combined into one), plus a movie review of the popular prequeal to the Aliens series, Prometheus.

Let's begin with the Clone Wars episodes.  "Front Runners" was an interesting episode, showing that the Rebels have become more caculating in their attacks on the droids and giving the citizens a sense of hope.  Plus, selecting Steela as the leader of the small group of soldiers was a wise decision-personally, I think she'll be one to be reckoned with in the future.  And "Soft War" was another well thought out episode as well; there was quite a bit of political themes in that show, testing the strength of the false king vs. the true king.  From what I could see from Saw, he's still struggling with the fact that his sister is showing him up as a leader and he wants to prove himself worthy to the cause-thankfully that didn't get him killed and he's finally excepted the fact that he's not perfect.  It also seems that Ahsoka is struggling to keep her emotions about Lux in check while helping out the people of Onderon.  We'll just have to wait and see what the future holds for her and Lux (nudge, nudge, wink, wink :D)



Now onto the movie preview of Prometheus! The movie did not dissapoint in the least; the humaniod like aliens were amazing, though I'm still baffeled about their purpose on the human race-other than that they were evolved from humans (confused yet?).  Plus the origin of those creatures was interesting as well-it looked like a very decayed yet thriving version of earth, or what will be the the main planet of the famous and classic alien Xenomorphs.  The story was very well done as they went into the history of Weland's Industry to how those famoust chestbursters came into play.  It seems that the ending did leave the audience to believe that a sequel to Prometheus is coming into play-that's something I'll dig into further and post as soon as I have the answer.  Just a warning to younger viewers, this film is definetly not for audience under the age of sixteen-pretty much nightmare material for the younglings (unless there's an adult around).  Other than that, it's worth watching if you are a true Alien fan.

That's it for now folks; I'll keep you posted on anything new in the Star Wars Universe and Beyond.  And just a reminder to please like the official facebook page, and don't be afraid to post on the site anything about Star Wars and sci-fi events around the globe or in your community: http://www.facebook.com/StarWarsAndBeyond?ref=hl
