The Clone Wars: A Retrospective of the Show: Part 1

So, I have had quite a few thoughts about the Clone Wars since it started a couple of years ago. Although,over all, I do enjoy the show, There are several things about which I am occasionally angered. Point number one would be the immaturity.

The immaturity of the Clone Wars has always been a major, up-in-your-face part of the show. From the inaccurate naming of items and characters throughout the show, to the very blatant disregard for realistically acting droids. While I have always considered Star Wars to be Child-Friendly, I do think that there is a line to be drawn. I do not believe that a child should be enjoying an animated show containing characters he knows nothing about. If the child is not old enough to watch the movies, then the Television show based on those same movies should be towards the same demographic. I believe that George Lucas has quite enough money without selling out his idea to a bunch of 4 year-olds. If a parent isn't going to let their child watch a movie with next to no cursing and gory deaths, then they shouldn't be willing to let those same children watch a Television show based on characters from those same movies, especially when that Television show is depicting a violent war. I'm not expecting the children to learn all of the correct terms for things, but they will eventually if they hear them enough, and that would only better prepare them for later when they get into other things, such as the novels and comics.
With the droids, it's a simple matter of coming up with a (much) better way to add humor to the show. Considering how well the original Trilogy did with humor, I am assuming that George Lucas can remedy this simply, but ugly part of the show. I mean, really, the droids having a personality wouldn't make any sense, considering the fact that they would then be subject to all of the mental illnesses that any organic soldier can succumb to. Not to mention, that, without personality, the droids will follow a command without question and without thinking. That is quite possibly one of their greatest strengths as well as greatest weaknesses, for, without thought, then a droid has none of the ingenuity that is so valued in a organic soldier. This is a reason that the Clone soldiers were so beneficial to the Republic. Because they could adapt (to a point) to the lack of forces, intel and good equipment. They could adapt to the changes that so often can take place in a real-time battle. It is annoying to me when I hear a droid question an order or ask for clarification, considering the fact that the orders would be sent to the droids instantaneously, thus nullifying the need to yell out orders which can be so easily garbled by the sounds of battle.
