So I finished the trilogy tonight, and man, is the uproar not needed. The Pacifists are training to fight the Death Watch, allowing the warrior culture to return. Bravo, bravo. I think if it had been the first one, not nearly as many would be as upset, but blasted, that was a good trilogy.
I suspect, with the rumors of Boba Fett making an appearence in the show later, that might be what has Traviss upset (they did cancel the Fett book on her).

I'm only annoyed with Obi-Wan constantly wearing the armored costume... Why can't they change it up and have him in his Episode III Jedi Outfit instead of the "front lines general" one?

LFL cancelled the Boba Fett book so it wouldn't conflict with the upcoming live-action TV series. Karen cancelled IC2 based on 'irreconcilable differences' between her series and the cartoon. I haven't seen the last episode yet (stupid DCR screwed up on me on Friday, so waiting for the re-run tonight), but I guess there's something about it that she didn't feel like fighting with. Could be that she backed out of IC2 over the frustration of the whole thing. I know I would be inclined to do that. Plus, sounded like Del Ray wasn't treating her that great, and since she was being tapped to work on both the Gears of War and Halo series, plus her own work, plus other stuff too, she had more than enough to do, and took sort of a "well, if you're going to treat me like that, I don't need you then either" approach.

Perhaps he's always in the "front lines general" armor because, more often than not, he's actually on the front lines slicing up droids and such. He's almost always busy commanding troops and fighting droids, so why change out of the armor?

^^ HAHAHAHA
Seriously though, I would bet that the lack of wardrobe change has more to do with making the animators' lives easier than anything else. ;)

Mas Amedda has been around since TPM.
I assume Mas either knew, or was a mental puppet. He knew enough to get out when Yoda showed up.

I think George Lucas never envisioned the Mandalorians as being a honorable warrior culture (like the Klingons of Star Trek). In fact, he probably saw Boba and Jango as nothing more than deadly bounty hunters who just happened to wear Mandalorian armor. For some reason, I remember back in the day when there was very little EU or novels being written and reading a description of Boba Fett as a bounty hunter who wore the armor of the Mandalorian Supercommandos, not necessarily being a Mandalorian himself. So in that sense, the CW series is the official version of Mandalorians as it super cedes all other EU sources. It is just the way these things work with George's creation. Sometimes the EU works in favor for the fans, with inclusions of comic book characters, planets, etc. into the highest level of canon (e.g. the movies, tv series or anything with Lucas' direct involvement). Other times, the EU does not benefit the fans, as the case with Boba Fett. (I have a feeling Lucas does not hold the character of Boba Fett in very high regard considering his unfortunate treatment).

Umm, which treatment? The original movie appearences or the mess that is his "canon" history? I still have a few issues with how to justify some of what they talk about with the guy who originally went out like a punk.
