After Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi discover a traitor in their midst, Rex and Cody must investigate their fellow clones to discover who betrayed them.
One of the themes we have been exploring as we conduct our re-watch of The Clone Wars is the treatment of the clones. This episode puts that issue front and center. When Anakin and Obi-Wan have their mission ambushed, all evidence points to a traitor in their midst. When Cody and Rex investigate, they undeniable conclusion is that one of their own has betrayed them. While Anakin and Obi-Wan confront Asajj Ventress, Cody and Rex root out their traitor, and it brings to a head the role of the clones in this war. We have a lot to discuss, so thanks for joining us for this episode of Podcast Stardust.
