Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala, with some aid from Captain Ackbar, advise Prince Lee-Char as Mon Cala drifts into civil war between the Mon Calamari and Quarrens in the season four premier of The Clone Wars.
Our re-watch of Star Wars: The Clone Wars rolls on with the season premier of season four. This episode features the beginning of a civil war between two classic Star Wars species: the Mon Calamari and the Quarren. This conflict provides a great opportunity to talk a little Star Wars history and how some of the concepts in this episode evolved. It is the first of a three episode arc that we will be discussing here on Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our overall thoughts on this episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars,
- The Legends and current history of the conflict between the Mon Calamari and Qurren people,
- How this episode compares to Chapter 5 of the Classic Gendy Tartakovsky Clone Wars series,
- Prince Lee-Char of the Mon Calamari as he attempts to grow into the role of the king,
- Captain Ackbar and his reluctance to advise and train Lee-Char,
- The introduction of the shark species, the Karkarodon, and
- How the arrival of the Hydroid Medusas changed the tide of the battle.
