The Jedi race to track down Cad Bane as he kidnaps Force-sensitive children across the galaxy for a sinister, dark side project controlled by Darth Sidious in this episode of The Clone Wars.
As Anakin Skwyalker suspected, Cad Bane lives. Despite apparently perishing at the end of the last episode, Cad Bane survived and makes his escape from the Jedi. Worse yet, he still has the Jedi holocron with that contains the names and locations of all the Force-sensitive children in the galaxy. His client, Darth Sidious, has sinister plans for the children and tasks Cad Bane with kidnapping some of them. Soon enough, the Jedi are on Cad Bane’s trail, and they must act fast to stop Cad Bane from abducting any more children and recover those that already were.
In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we are discussing the third episode of season two of The Clone Wars: “Children of the Force.” Some cracks begin to form in the Jedi’s dedication to the light side of the Force, and we are ready to discuss that and much more in episode 861.

- Our overall thoughts on this episode of The Clone Wars,
