Podcast Stardust #927: The Clone Wars – “Cat and Mouse” 0216

by Podcast Stardust

Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker engages the devious Admiral Trench with the aid of a cloaked ship while trying to deliver relief supplies to Christophsis in this episode of our The Clone Wars re-watch.

We are starting the week with the next episode in our The Clone Wars re-watch. This episode jumps out of chronological order to tell a tale that predates everything that has come before in the series. At the planet of Christophsis, Jedi Knights Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi are trying to delivery supplies in support of Senator Bail Organa’s relief mission. However, a Separatist blockade stands in the way under the command of the cunning and dangerous Admiral Trench. The Jedi have a trick up their sleeves in the form of a ship equipped with a cloaking device. We are breaking down all the details in this episode of Podcast Stardust.

In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:

  • How this episode of The Clone Wars predates all previous episodes of the series,
  • Legacy lines from the original trilogy that were referenced in “Cat and Mouse,”
  • Admiral Trench, the tarantula inspired villain of this episode,
  • How this episode takes inspiration from submarines,
  • Other facts about the ship with the cloaking device,
  • Anakin disobeying orders from Obi-Wan Kenobi, and
  • How unsettled Admiral Yularen was in this episode.
