In an effort to find common ground with the Separatist and prevent an escalation in the war, Padmé goes undercover with Ahsoka behind enemy lines in this episode of The Clone Wars.
One thing is for certain, Senator Amidala will always pursue the peaceful alternative. No more is this apparent than when she makes an illegal, undercover journey to Raxus to meet with a former colleague and friend in the interest of pursuing peace between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Adding to the intrigue is that she brings Ahsoka with her, and the young Padawan meets her first Separatist that isn’t a droid or soldier. Suddenly, her preconceived ideas about the “enemy” are challenged. There is plenty to discuss in this episode of The Clone Wars.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our overall thoughts on this episode,
- The origin of the title of this episode in the opening crawl from Revenge of the Sith,
- How, once again, this episode is out of continuity order,
- New character art that updates the look for Ahsoka and Anakin,
- The push to deregulate the banks,
- Senate debates in both the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems,
- Ahsoka meeting Lux Bonteri, a Separatist teenage boy, and
- The tragedy that derails the peace process.
