Matthew, Erin, and Alex dive into the Clone Wars' most mystical and mind-bending storyline: the Mortis arc. When Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka are summoned to a Force-rich realm where three powerful beings—the Father, the Son, and the Daughter—control the balance between light and dark, everything we thought we knew about the Chosen One prophecy gets turned upside down. These episodes introduce cosmic Force mythology that reverberates throughout Star Wars, from Rebels to Ahsoka, yet they leave more questions than answers about destiny, balance, and what it truly means to be the Chosen One.Questions We Discussed:

• What does the Chosen One prophecy actually mean, and did Anakin fulfill it?
• How do the Father, Son, and Daughter represent the different aspects of the Force?
• Why does the Father's passivity lead to disaster, and what does that say about the Jedi Order?
• Does "balance" mean equal light and dark, or the destruction of the Sith?
• How does Mortis connect to later Star Wars series like Rebels and Ahsoka?
• What makes these episodes so different from the rest of Star Wars storytelling?
