The “Malevolence” trilogy of episodes concludes as Anakin and Obi-Wan board the Separatist battleship to rescue Senator Padmé Amidala from General Grievous.
Just when the Jedi think they have General Grievous and the Malevolence cornered, Senator Padmé Amidala arrives and her ship is captured. That won’t stop Anakin Skywalker though. He quickly concocts a rescue mission, and naturally, Obi-Wan Kenobi goes along with him. This episode features action, space trains, a little comedy and romance, and a first ever shot of our heroes. We’re wrapping up the “Malevolence” trilogy of episodes with this week’s discussion of The Clone Wars on Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- How “Destroy Malevolence” compares to the previous two episodes in this trilogy,
- Senator Padmé Amidala’s first appearance in The Clone Wars,
- Obi-Wan Kenbobi’s first action role in The Clone Wars,
- The banter between Obi-Wan and General Grievous,
- Whether the Jedi should have been suspicious of Chancellor Palpatine after this,
- Anakin and Padmé’s romance,
- The rail jet system inside the Malevolence,
- The destruction of the Malevolence,
- Grievous refusing to answer Count Dooku and taking off.
