Summary

If you only knew where this series of episodes began, you might expect quite a different podcast than what we deliver to you today. What begins as an arc about the power (and limit) of prophecy quickly turns into something else. Sure, we get to debate the limits of Padme's boilerplate political rhetoric for a bit, but before long there's a the return of an old antagonist. The only question is, who hates this guy more: us or the people who came up with him in the first place.

0:00.0	Let us return once more to a more civilized age Clone Wars podcast.
0:12.4	I'm Rob Zachney, joined by Ali Akampura, Austin Walker, and Natalie Watson.
0:16.6	Today, we settle all-hut family business.
0:20.4	Hopefully in the name of tying off some dangling beeplots from the first two seasons of Clone
0:25.4	Wars.
0:26.4	We have a soak-acquitting her adventures in working as a Jedi Pinkerton in Assassin, and
0:32.5	then we see both the setup for the attack on the Senate building, the freed zero, the
0:36.0	hot and evil plans, and the results of that escape in hunt for zero.
0:40.9	So cards on the table gang, I don't have a lot of nice throughlines to plot from these
0:46.4	episodes, and in my view, they're kind of odd things.
0:49.1	They don't really stand on their own very well, but also I'm not sure I came away feeling
0:54.7	like these were really compelling side stories in their respective arcs.
1:00.0	How did y'all get on with this ad hoc trio?
1:05.7	I think the middle episode is utterly unnecessary.
1:10.0	I like the droids, but one of my notes straight up is, why did this episode need to- I didn't
1:16.2	need the backstory on hostage crisis, the episode where Cat Bane takes hostages and gets
1:22.0	zero free.
1:23.0	We didn't need to have the plans, he could have just cruised through, like Cat Bane
1:29.7	fully capable assassin.
1:32.4	I can prove to you evidence for why we didn't need this, because we watched hostage crisis
1:36.2	and thought, yeah, that's a pretty sick episode.
1:38.5	That was the first Cat Bane episode we watched, and we're like, that was a dope episode.
