Mo’ Clone Wars, Mo’ Problems
Admittedly, the actual content for this trailer for Clone Wars season two seems pretty exciting (although strangely lacking in clones). But is it me, or are the character designs actually getting uglier? Like, even more wooden and puppet-like? It’s really hard for me to give a shit about whatever bounty hunters are showing up and making no difference between Episodes II and III because I end up spending the entire preview looking for the strings. Sigh.

Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others.
