Star Wars tells a horror story when the Geonosian queen creates zombies out of fallen Geonosians and attempts to take control of a Jedi in “Legacy of Terror.”
If you need an episode of The Clone Wars to watch for Halloween, then we humbly suggest “Legacy of Terror.” This is an episode unlike anything that had come before in The Clone Wars and Star Wars in general. Leaning into elements of horror, “Legacy of Terror” sees the Jedi confront zombie Geonosians when they attempt to track down Poggle the Lesser after conquering Geonosis. This is a fun episode, and we have a great time discussing it in this episode of Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our overall thoughts on this episode,
- How this episode differs from other Star Wars stories and The Clone Wars episodes by leaning into horror,
- The Jedi’s reflections on the cost in lives of invading Geonosis,
- The role of the sandstorm in “Legacy of Terror,”
- The introduction of the Geonosian queen,
- The zombie Geonosians, and
- Some of the humor in this otherwise dark episode.
