Close your eyes and imagine this: A Clone Wars arc about the intricacies of droid personhood and cultural hierarchy, partially taking place in an existentialist void, and crossing paths with a story about an amnesiac Clone who's escaped the war just to find himself another harsh master. Oh, and the best explosion in the series to date. Now open your eyes and face the cold hard reality: This is one of the worst arcs we've seen yet.
Hope yet lives, though. Why? Because we've made it through 100 episodes of the show. Oh, and because in the time since recording this episode, we've all watched the next arc. And wow is the group chat buzzing...
NEXT TIME: Episodes 102 - 104 (""Eminence," "Shades of Reason," and "The Lawless"")

0:00.0 | Let us return once more to more Civilized Age Clone Wars podcast. I'm Rob Zackney, joined by Alia |
0:14.2 | Campora, Austin Walker, and Natalie Watson. Hey, did you all know? I wanted to do that |
0:22.6 | for so long. Like every episode whenever you say all of our names, I want to say hi and |
0:28.0 | I never say hi to anyone. I never do it. Hi, Natalie. I just want to say hi to you guys and |
0:33.8 | to everybody. Hi, everybody. Hey, so you all know this is a show about a children's cartoon? |
0:42.1 | I learned it. Yeah, if you didn't know now, boy, uh, four episodes, four, four. |
0:51.9 | Just won't we do big arcs now? Yeah. Can you imagine if we had tried to cut this in the |
0:56.6 | two episodes? I live it. End of the podcast. Ending the end of the Patreon. Whatever happened |
1:04.4 | to your Civilized Age, but they never finished that one arc. We gotta see if they got off |
1:12.9 | that void planet. Yeah. Yeah, it's so listen. I just think we should be, we should have |
1:22.1 | higher standards to what we what we deem a void. Like I just think we are the meaning |
1:30.0 | of the void. Right. I say the show takes place in space, which is a big void all the time. |
1:37.7 | Right. This planet had a city on it. Like it wasn't like there's a diner on that planet. |
1:42.0 | That was like it was weird. Like they had a blank empty sky and a featureless desert. |
1:48.0 | And I was like, this one has pretty weird. Yeah. That never, that never paid off. No, |

1:57.0 | for that, for that episode of the orange sky. And what I was like, fuck, like this is going |
2:03.0 | to get. Let's go. I'm a guard. Yeah. I'm just going to get really trippy. I was like, maybe |
2:08.0 | some mortise vibes again. Like we're just going to be playing in another realm of, of allegory. |
2:14.9 | And it doesn't call it a sunny day in the void, which sounds like an existentialist play. |
2:19.8 | You know what I mean? 100% like it's out everything. Which is, which is the premise in a way. |
2:25.0 | The there is a floaty zone style thing that's like a little too long to watch with Brent |
