While Senator Amidala spies on an old flame in the Senate, a very jealous Anakin Skywalker goes undercover as her pilot and bodyguard as they attempt to find evidence of corruption.
We are starting another week with the next episode in our The Clone Wars re-watch. This week, we look at “Senate Spy.” When the Jedi suspect Senator Rush Clovis of working with the Separatists, they ask Senator Amidala to spy on her colleague. Padmé initially refuses until her secret husband, Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, forbids her from taking the mission. After that she changes her mind and accepts the mission to Anakin’s dismay. There is a lot to talk about when it comes to this episode of The Clone Wars, and we are excite for you to join us on this episode of Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our overall thoughts on “Senate Spy,”
- What this episode is actually about,
- The complicated relationship between Neimoidia, the Trade Federation, the Republic, and the Separatists,
- Senator Rush Clovis, Senator for the Banking Clan and former love interest for Senator Amidala,
- The tension between Padmé and Anakin throughout this episode and their quarrels,
- Senator Lott Dod’s reception of Amidala on Neimoidia,
- Padmé’s role as spy, and
- The resolution of this mission.
