Chancellor Palpatine brings the Zillo Beast to Coruscant for study and experimentation. When Palpatine orders its destruction, the Zillo Beast isn’t going down without a fight.
It is time for part two of the Zillo Beast saga from The Clone Wars. Palpatine firmly believes the success of the Republic’s war efforts against the Separatists lies in discovering the secret of the Zillo Beasts seemingly impervious hide. He is so convinced of this that he orders the giant monster brought to Coruscant for study. When experimentation stalls, he orders the Zillo Beast destroyed to expedite the process. Naturally, things go awry and the Zillo Beast is soon rampaging across Coruscant. In this episode of Podcast Stardust, we are discussing the details and ramification of “The Zillo Beast Strikes Back.”
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- Our overall thoughts about this episode of The Clone Wars,
- Mace Windu’s simmering mistrust of Chancellor Palpatine,
- Whether Palpatine is being cruel or pragmatic,
- Anakin’s apparent resentment that Senator Padmé Amidala was brought into to try and persuade Palpatine to spare the Zillo Beast,
- The rampage of the Zillo Beast, and
- The final lesson of this episode.
