Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker escort Duchess Satine of Mandalore to Coruscant while assassin droids are on the hunt in this episode of our The Clone Wars re-watch.
After Death Watch’s plot is discovered on Mandalore, Duchess Satine is headed to Coruscant to address the Republic. Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi, along with a squad of clones, are assigned to protect the Duchess on her journey. Anakin soon discovers that Obi-Wan and Satine have a past. Despite the anxiety this causes Obi-Wan, he has to put it aside when assassin droids emerge on the ship and attempt to destroy the Duchess and senators aboard. This is another foundational episode of The Clone Wars, and we are breaking it down on this episode of Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our overall thoughts on this episode of The Clone Wars,
- The comparison between the choices Anakin made with Padmé and Obi-Wan’s and Satine’s decisions,
- The banter between Obi-Wan and Satine,
- Anakin’s interest in Obi-Wan pursuing a relationship with Satine,
- The traitorous senator aboard Satine’s ship, and
- The predicament that Obi-Wan and Satine find themselves in at the end of the episode.
