Ahsoka and Barris fight to protect themselves from Clones infected with Geonosian parasites while attempting to deliver relief supplies to a Republic medical station in this episode of our The Clone Wars re-watch.
Just when the Jedi are ready to depart Geonosis and return to Coruscant with Poggle the Lesser, they get a messages from Mace Windu and Kit Fisto. Medical supplies are needed at Cestus. Rather than divert from delivering Poggle to Coruscant, Anakin, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Luminara, and Ki-Adi-Mundi task padawans Ahsoka Tano and Barriss Offee with delivering the medical supplies to Cestus. Although this seems like a straightforward mission, it becomes anything but after a clone infected with a Geonosian parasite infects the other Clones on the medical transport and they turn on the padawans. It is another spooky episode of The Clone Wars, and we are discussing it in this installment of our The Clone Wars re-watch on Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our overall thoughts on this episode,
- How this episode of The Clone Wars, like the last, is another brand of Star Wars horror,
- The importance of story resolution as demonstrated by this episode,
- A few Legends nods at the start of the episode,
- Ahsoka and Barriss’s discussion of what life might be like for the Jedi after the war,
- How this episode foreshadows Order 66, and
- Anakin’s questionable techniques in interrogating Poggle the Lesser.
