Summary

A two episode Godzilla and King Kong inspired arc? Certainly that couldn't leave us with enough material to go for more than 70, 80 minutes tops. Talk about the monster design, the War on Terror allegory, maybe even sneak in a conversation about the ongoing pacing and structure of the series? In an out, righ-

I'm being handed a piece of paper. It says "they went for two hours."

Ah. Well, nevertheless.

Let us return once more to a more civilized age, a Clone Wars podcast. I'm Rob Zachman,

joined by Alejandro Porra, Austin Walker, and Natalie Watson. Today, we are unleashing

the beast, the zilla beast. No, not the real estate titan, but instead a cloverfield

0:29.3

style monster, which is itself a Godzilla rip off, that the Jedi will awaken while testing

0:35.5

a super weapon, do the compassionate thing and save it as an endangered species, only

0:41.8

to have it hijacked by chance their palpatine and thrust into some wildly unethical medical

0:48.3

experiments. And then in the most predictable, outcome possible, the beast escapes and

begins wreaking havoc through downtown Korsan. Of course, all of that Korsan is downtown,

1:59.5

Everybody else ready? Mm-hmm. Yep. Three, two, one, go. Perhaps now would be a good time to

2:08.1

evacuate to the lower levels. Yeah, I thought George's choice to have palpatine catches Zillow bee

2:14.5

or wrath in this case was better than if it was fell in love with Padme. Like King Paul.

2:19.7

You know, it was nice that Palphine gets some love there. I hate as it were. I've been joking
