Our year-long series covering Attack of the Clones continues with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker’s pursuit of the assassin Zam Wessell through Coruscant.
As we continue to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Attack of the Clones, we return to the movie with our second episode in our series examining the movie in roughly ten minute blocks. In this episode, we discuss Obi-Wan and Anakin’s pursuit of Zam Wessell after she failed to assassinate Senator Amidala. The chase leads them through the skies of Coruscant and into a club in the lower levels and the action is intense. We discuss this portion of the movie from moment to moment. Thanks for downloading or streaming another episode of Podcast Stardust.
