Padmé Amidala and Bail Organa launch their own investigation into the murder of a fellow senator in this episode from season two of The Clone Wars.
In this episode of our The Clone Wars re-watch, we are looking at “Senate Murders.” Senator Padmé Amidala is working with her allies in the Senate to pass a bill halting the production of Clones in the hopes that diplomacy can resume and the war can end. However, Padmé’s dear friend, Onacanda Farr is murdered in the Senate. Despite the presence of a Republic investigator, Padmé and Bail Organa conduct their own investigation in the hopes of determining who is behind this crime and also in hopes of saving their legislation. There is plenty to talk about, and we are addressing it all in this episode of Podcast Stardust.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our overall thoughts on this episode of The Clone Wars,
- How Senator Padmé Amidala takes matters into her own hands,
- The way Reign of Empire: Mask of Fear influenced our watch of this episode,
- How Padmé, Bail Organa, and Mon Mothma relate to one another,
- The political aspects of this episode where Padmé and her allies want to cease the production of Clones and resume diplomacy,
- Lt. Tan Davi and the influences Dave Filoni drew upon in creating him, and
- The unfolding of the murder mystery.
