Star Wars Chapter 1 Compare And Contrast

T.V. shows are another media where Star Wars is prevalent. Through its history Star Wars has made two T.V. series being The Clone Wars and Rebels (both with the Star Wars title before it). The Clone Wars expanded upon the prequel trilogy (between episodes 2 and 3). While the Rebels series tied the prequels into the original trilogy (between episode 3 and Rogue One). For teens, both series are displayed as kid shows at first glance. Though both display real teenage feelings. Both tackle the idea of seeing the world for the first time. In Clone Wars its displayed through Ahsoka Tano and in Rebels: Ezra Bridger. Other teenage characteristics take a darker tole in the two series since our teenage lives are often filled with all the dark things in the world.
Anakin was also involved with a lot of the action in the series but it wasn’t all fighting; Nor was the series focused on one character, “there were a ton of different characters that they followed over story arcs and not all of them were shoot um up kind of things”. For example, the series followed Padmé Amidala, she was a young senator looking to create peace in a war fraught galaxy. (If this doesn’t relate to today I don’t know what does.) Some episodes focus her diplomatic missions that show not only the complexities of war but that peace doesn’t have to be achieved only by fighting. In these regards Clone Wars really does dip into the dark side of the teenage ideas.
To highlight the more recent Rebels T.V. series I got a hold of an interview with the director of the show: Dave Filoni. He talks to Peter Sciretta from SlashFilm.com about how the series is not afraid to go to the dark side, specifically about killing off characters. Killing someone on a show labeled as a kid’s show is a very dark thing to do. Filoni explains this saying “I would say absolutely you can. You can kill off characters.
