Summary

Everything is going swimmingly for Moralo Eval's dastardly plan. Along with certified killers Cad Bane and Rako Hardeen (shh), he's escaped Coruscant, evaded his Jedi pursuers, and arrived on Count Dooku's homeworld of Serenno. Now it's time for the real plan to begin: Everybody get into the box!

What? Did you not imagine that the remainder of this arc hinged on a callback to a 1997 indie horror premise? Well don't worry, it doesn't. It was all a fifth dimensional chess ploy anyway. All according to plan.

0:00.0	Let us return once more to a more civilized age, a Clone Wars podcast.
0:12.4	I'm Rob Zachary, joined by Alia Campora, Austin Walker, and Natalie Watson.
0:16.7	So the last time we saw Obi-Wan Kenobi, he was deep undercover with a deadly band of criminals
0:21.2	to infiltrate a plot to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine.
0:24.7	He'd been forced to fight his friends, to take part in murder and mayhem, and had to convince
0:28.8	his suspicious confederate, like Cad Bane, that he wasn't a cop, but now we hit the most
0:34.1	iconic part of the classic undercover story.
0:37.7	We all remember from movies like Donnie Brasco and Colonel Affairs.
0:41.4	The part where the hero has to prove themselves by winning it to contests that is a mix of American
0:46.2	Ninja Warrior and Portal.
0:49.9	It's maybe no surprise that things get a bit weird here in the day new law of this plot,
0:55.9	because the scheme has to fail, but fail in such a way that really leaves no mark on
1:00.2	the story, whose absence would seem odd in Revenge of the Sith.
1:04.0	So we get an action adventure, in my opinion, kind of a filler episode, called The Box,
1:09.0	in which Count Duku and Mastermind Marallo of all choose their kidnapping team by forcing
1:15.8	a bunch of bounty hunters to do battle inside a giant escape room, slash Quake 3 death
1:21.5	match map.
1:22.8	The winners get a huge payday to join the kidnapping mission against Palpatine.
1:28.4	I cannot believe how much time they've set aside for this draft, basically, for this
1:34.1	combine day.
1:35.6	Obi-Wan emerges as the MVP, and this makes Marallo of all really weirdly jealous, prompting
1:42.4	him to try and kill Obi-Wan, but Cad Bane saves him as a mark of their growing respect.
