Review of Star Wars The Clone Wars Season Five (SPOILER ALERT)

Image
This is supposedly the final season (the fifth season) of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.   There is a rumor that there might be a sixth, but if there is, it won't probably be shown on Cartoon Network --which was where the series first premiered and aired all five seasons.  Why was the series terminated when it seemed so popular? The only explanation I heard was that the good people at LucasFilm felt it was time to wind it up.  However, it seems the Disney takeover of the Star Wars franchise might have some hand in it.  Yes, it's true...though I should ask what rock you've been under if you haven't heard by now.  It isn't like I keep my ears to the ground either, but there has been enough bellyaching by Star Wars fans on Twitter that you'd have to go out of your way...like join the Amish...to have missed that.  Apparently, there are a lot of fans out there shuddering in their Darth Vader and Storm Trooper costumes, wondering if the new Star Wars movie that is

Welcome to My Youtube Channel!

This is the second video I've done.  When I first started out, I did different things than what I do now...so my first video is a little outdated.  Since becoming a Youtube Partner, I'm not doing much that I don't own the rights to.  For one thing, technically I'm not supposed to, but I also can't monetize those videos. However, I am also branching out into more educational videos.  I also hope, in the farther off future, to do some travel videos.  I don't list everything I do in the promo, since it is already over a minute (and ideally they should be less than a minute) in length.  If you like what you see, come take a look at my channel.  Of course, some of it will appear on this blog anyway.
