Let us return once more to a more civilized age, a Clone Wars podcast.

I'm Rob Zachney, joined by Alia Capora, Austin Locker, and Natalie Watson.

So after the tour de force that the Newt gunry arc turned into, we are returning to Earth

with a pair of episodes, centering on a gang of pirates who lock into capturing Count

Ducu, and then try and parlay that prize into a fortune from the older public, but they

don't know it's the older public yet.

That's a secret.

But the core idea of these episodes suffers from a surprisingly long setup sequence, and

then poor development throughout a pair of episodes that can't quite commit to being

a prison break, a Jar Jar Binks comic-caper, or a tragic comic, farce about dishonor among

thieves.

At the end, a lot of things have happened, but absolutely nothing has happened at all.

Both the Jedi and the Separatists have left the pirates with absolutely nothing.

But we wouldn't know what that feels like, because so many of you absolutely delivered

when we started our Patreon last week.

So thanks to everyone who has supported us so far, and if you haven't checked it out

yet, you can learn more at patreon.com slash civilized.

And if you sign up now, you can get in questions for this month's Q&A, and listen to our

epic length February Q&A, in which we make our case for overthinking a children's cartoon

to this degree.

Still.

We're going to note, by the way, from someone who sent that in, it was a very kind note.
