Summary

There are many reasons to be excited for this trio of episodes. There's the way the arc slides effortlessly from genre to genre, all while maintaining an overall sense of narrative continuity. There's the way that the lighting and effects work in these episodes show how far the production team have come since season one. There's the further development of characters like Luminara Unduli and Barris Offee, quickly becoming some of our favorites. But maybe more than anything, there is for the first time a long dark hallway, the baleful hum of brass, and a man walking slowly towards his future...

0:00.0	Let us return once more to a more civilized age, a Clone Wars podcast.
0:12.6	I'm Rob Zachney, joined by Alia Campora, Austin Walker, and Natalie Watson.
0:18.0	So far, I think it's fair to say that Clone Wars has had some ups and downs as a series.
0:23.9	And maybe there's only been one episode I would have held up as flawless, which was
0:29.5	the incredible cloak of darkness from season one.
0:33.1	There've been some other great ones, but that one still stand out.
0:35.8	I think today, however, we get another one as the series turns back towards horror and
0:41.4	suspense as it foreshadows the fates of some of its major characters.
0:47.2	Happily, I think all three of the episodes here are basically winners and explored different
0:52.6	facets of the Clone Wars, as well as some of the conflicts among the Jedi.
0:57.6	And we're set up for this contrast in styles as Jedi Master Luminara and Dooley returns
1:02.7	with her own padawan, Barris Ophi, and I think confirmed for me that Luminara, maybe
1:12.3	more than any other character we've met, is what a Jedi should be if they live by their
1:18.2	own teachings.
1:20.3	If the vibe we get from a lot of the other Jedi is that the roles of the Jedi are best
1:24.8	honored in the breach rather than in the strict observance, Luminara seems like the only
1:30.3	one who is fully reconciled to live by and within the roles of the Order, and if necessary,
1:37.0	die by them.
1:38.0	And that sets up a lot of tension that we're going to explore, both between her and Anakin
1:43.4	Skywalker and between their two padawans, Barris and Asoka.
1:50.9	To briefly sketch out the arc here, we are closing out the Geonosis arc first.
1:56.5	We are going to have a combat focused episode with a bit of commando action as they blow
