The Ryloth story arc from season one of The Clone Wars continues with Obi-Wan and a squad of clones working to liberate Twi’leks and destroy Separatist cannons.
The Battle for Ryloth wages on. In the previous episode of The Clone Wars, Ahsoka and Anakin broke the Separatist blockade surrounding the planet. Now, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Mace Windu are ready to lead the invasion. However, Wat Tambor and his tactical droid aren’t ready to concede the planet and the invasion force is met with heavy cannon fire. Obi-Wan and squad of clones must destroy the cannons so the invasion can commence in earnest. Two new clones, Waxer and Boil, meet a young Twi’lek child and the impact of the war on civilians is brought into focus in this incredible episode of The Clone Wars. We are ready to dive in here on Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our overall thoughts on “Innocents of Ryloth,”
- Why this episode stands out and the themes of the episode,
- Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody’s orders to the clones,
- Two specific clones, Waxer and Boil, and their relationship to Numa, a young Twi’lek child,
- The gutkurrs, giant alien insects, and how the Separatist manipulate them,
- The tactical droids, and
- Some Easter Eggs found throughout the episode.
