Podcast Stardust #930: The Clone Wars – “The Zillo Beast” 0218

by Podcast Stardust

Jedi Knights Mace Windu and Anakin Skywalker defend Malastere from a giant monster as Star Wars pays homage to Godzilla.

Jedi Master Mace Windu and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker are on Malastere with their clone army to aide the Dugs as they fight off an invasion from the Separatist droid army. Part of their battle plan includes dropping a new electro proton bomb on the droids. The bomb works and the droids are defeated. However, something ancient is awoken and a giant monster attacks the Dugs. This episode is a not so subtle homage to Godzilla, and we are here for it. Join us for this episode of Podcast Stardust as we celebrate another classic episode of The Clone Wars.

In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:

  • Our overall thoughts on this classic episode of The Clone Wars,
  • The role of Malastere and the Dugs with the Republic and the war effort,
  • How this episode is a reversal of sorts from the “Defenders of Peace” episode from season one of The Clone Wars,
  • The homage to Godzilla that George Lucas and Dave Filoni created with this episode,
  • The Easter eggs distributed through the episode, and
  • Chancellor Palpatine’s plans for the Zillo Beast.
