Padmé, Jar Jar, the Jedi, and clones race to stop a maniacal scientist from resurrecting a long dead virus in this episode of our The Clone Wars re-watch.
This week’s re-watch episode of The Clone Wars, we are focusing on what some might call a very memorable episode, “Blue Shadow Virus.” This episode features a very eccentric mad scientist determined to resurrect a long extinct and deadly virus with the hopes of unleashing it on the galaxy. His secret lab just happens to be set up on Naboo, and when Padmé and Jar Jar Binks investigate, they fall into Vindi’s clutches, which only make Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Ahsoka Tano’s arrival all the more important. Join us as we discuss this episode of The Clone Wars on Podcast Stardust.
