0:08.5

I was once a Jedi Knight, the same as your father.

0:11.5

Since that, one simple sentence,

0:14.8

fans have on different levels been obsessed about thinking,

0:18.7

what was the Clone Wars?

0:35.6

No, has been obsessed about thinking, what was the Clone Wars? This idea of doing an animated TV series was intriguing to me because it really did allow me to broaden the canvas of what Star Wars is about.

Hello and welcome to Sky Talkers. I'm your host Charlotte.

0:53.1

Hey everyone. I'm your other host, Caitlin,

0:54.8

and welcome to this week's episode where we're back again with another Clone Wars rewatch. That's

0:59.9

three weeks in a row. Kind of crazy. I feel like we're really like in the Lucasfilm animation

1:07.2

headspace right now as we prepare for mall. So it was like, let's just keep this

1:11.9

Clone Wars ball rolling. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. And we just had some like episodes that
