Star Wars Binge

We conclude the first episode of the Kadavo Arc: Season 4 | Episodes 10-12. Excellent themes hit here from terrorists with bombs to Post Traumatic Stress caused by slavery. So much to discuss!

We tackle a significantly underrated 3 episode arc from Season 4. This may be the best unveiling of the hearts of Ahsoka, Anakin and Kenobi in all of the Clone Wars. In this arc we see trauma, we see the inability of friends to help heal deep wounds, and we see the hearts of our characters exposed in ways seldom seen in this series. In terms of its importance and ability to set up everything to co...

In a wonderful salute to Die Hard and The Dark Knight, we see Anakin Skywalker seeking to save his bride from what is arguably the best villain created in the Clone Wars Era. We had a lot of fun here, and we may also make fun of buffoons who storm capital buildings ... so be warned.

We talk freedom, duty, and the importance of family in Star Wars, concluding a primary episode that elevates the heart of Rex and the Clones.

In what Daniel describes as the best episode of Star Trek he's seen, we enjoy a Rex focused episode that elevates the Captain's humanity, sense of self, and his own thoughts on "freedom". This is not only a character building episode, "The Deserter" highlights many of the central themes and conflicts in the Clone Wars: family, free will, duty and the desire for happiness. This may be the best epis...

This is easily a Top 10 Clone Wars episode! "Arc Troopers" is the animated series at its best : Gorgeous lightsaber battles, Brilliant Star Wars tech, deeply evil moments, and one of the most moving death scenes in all Star Wars ... without question. "Arc Troopers" desired two parts, but we slammed all the goodness into one epic episode. Enjoy!

Our second dive into this essential episode of the Clone Wars. "The Lost Ones" is Season 6 Episode 10 and shows us the Jedi discovering that the Clones have been created by dark forces.

We jump forward to Season 6, Episode 10 where the Jedi Council discovers that something is not right with the Clone Army ...

This is the second episode in the Domino Squad Arc: Season 1, Episode 5. We love everything about this episode. Great action, solid character beats, unexpected deaths, it all culminates in a fantastic Star Wars moment, but most importantly we get to talk about the pop significance of "bloody hand prints".

The very first Clone Wars episode ever released falls as number eleven in the Binge, but there's a reason it was number one. This is a wonderful Yoda story that further elevates not only the humanity of the Clones but of Asajj Ventress as well. Very rewatchable. Do jump in with us.

An origin story for arguably three of the most important characters in Star Wars! This is a stellar episode that introduces us to the inner life of the clones, and sets up much of the heart of all that is to come. We recorded on "Clone Cadets" prior to the release of Bad Batch, but many of you will notice all the set up in this episode for all that is being unveiled right now in 2021.

We dive deep into the early relationship between Anakin and Ahsoka in a very moving Clone Wars episode. This is Season 2 Episode 6 | "Weapons Factory." If you are just jumping into the Binge, we do suggest starting with "Episode One | "Old Friends Not Forgotten". But otherwise, buckle up for a discussion of mansplaining, love, and what weapon you want to have in your pocket when you get mugged at...

We begin Act 1 of our Binge with Season 2 Episode 5 of the Clone Wars. "The Landing at Point Rain" is the very first chronological material in the binge and we watch a young Ahsoka and Anakin establish their connection, see the loyalty of the Clones, and elevate the war in Star Wars.

We introduce the first of six acts in the Star Wars Binge! "Act One" elevates all the major "Students" introduced during the Clone Wars, including Ventress, Ahsoka, Anakin and the Domino Squad. Here we talk about the hero's journey, the role of the mentor and the home that a hero eventually finds on their path. Intro audio from CW Edits : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDcRoGHDiD4

We conclude the "Siege of Mandalore" with a discussion of gravesites, epic character introductions, and the future of all things Clone Wars.

We tackle Episode 12 of Season 7, the last episode of the Clone Wars Animated. There is a lot to say in this two-parter as we end this epic series in tragedy.

Season 7 | Episode 11 | Clone Wars Animated We conclude the penultimate episode of the Clone Wars Animated Series with our deep dive into arguably the best Star Wars episode ever. This is our commentary and annotations for part 3 of the "Siege of Mandalore" arc.

We begin a long discussion of the penultimate episode of the Clone Wars Animated series. This is our commentary on Season 7, Episode 11: the third part of the fantastic "Siege of Mandalore" arc. We divided "Shattered" into two parts because this 20 minutes may be the best of all Star Wars not in one of the films. Truly a treasure. Do take a listen.

We continue our dive into the exceptional "Siege of Mandalore". We explore the character beats, moments and plot of Season 7, Episode 10 of the Clone Wars.

We begin the entire Star Wars Binge with the Concluding Arc of the Clone Wars. The next five of our episodes will cover Season 7, Episodes 9-12 of the Clone Wars Animated Series conclusion. We will feel this is the absolute best way to jump into a galaxy far, far away.
